D D Hubby and I do things

Bass ack wards!
Shower first....  then go work out in the yard.
Moi in the one of the front sheds and him under the deck to further shut water off and blow out the lines.
Forgot something important . When hubby was complaining about THAT CHAIR ..and before he was told it was a private sale he told me to take it back and get myself some kitchen chairs.
I've been using metal folding chairs for many moons since the nice swivel chairs that went with my table had to be tossed.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo that was nice of him. :0)
Before

After

See that gray bin....Put an old worn sleeping bag in it for a feral cat to sleep in.

We keep that shed ( well Jill and I do ) ajar just enough during the winter for any feral cat to be able to get in out of the weather and we put pans of food inside.

Now for hubby....promise you won't laugh. 
What am I thinking.......Diaries can't laugh!!!!

Crawling out from under the deck towards the ramp.

Now he is trying to roll over and get on his knees.

He made it!!!

On his knees and he doesn't know where his lounge bottoms are.

It got worse, but I didn't take more pictures.

I'm nice like that. :0)

He would kill me if he saw this picture and I can't blame him.

He tries like Hell to do things.

Even though I had to stop what I was doing to help him get up and out.. I have to give him credit.

Well I'm glad I didn't say that I would eat my hat if Jill was at Randys.  She was!

Why she went is beyond me. She has stayed with him overnight after he has had day surgeries, BUT!! 

Butch pulled in the driveway with her around 12:30.

She had the Eucanuba dog food with her that I had asked Randy to buy for me.

Butch took off and soon after she did.

I kept on plugging away in the shed.

Julie pulled in the driveway at 1:45 in her inlaws big new Buick.

They had picked Logan up at his school.

Julie was driving and the seniors were seated. One in front and one in back.

There sat my confirmation that the EX SIL from HELL'S mother was still alive.

He doesn't list having a mother on his Facebook page. Just a father.

They must be fueding. Nothing unusual.

Logan ran in for a few things and off they went.

I looked like shit, but hell.......I was working.

Jill came back close to 4 and showered and changed.

 I was just coming inside for the night and asked her where she was going.

 To get cigarettes..will be right back, she said.

Noticed she put the outside light on and it was light out still.

Hubby mentioned Chinese food about a 45 minutes later , so I ordered by phone and went to get it.

She pulled in our driveway just ahead of me at 5.  Followed soon by Butch.Which had to have meant she went to the Moose for a drink or two after she got her cigarettes.

She was in the mood for Chinese food, but Butch had other ideas about a meal. Off they went.

He had been in Dracut since he had left here at 12:30, so where ever she went off to ...it wasn't with him.

They were back around 8:30 p.m.   ???.... but nice.

He wasn't around this morning. Work? A side job? She asked him to leave? He left on his own violition?

WHO CARES!!!!

Got some thank you's from hubby yesterday . :0)

Always nice to hear.

Both of us had aches and pains. :0(

My aches and pains have aches and pains.

 More outside work to be done . 40 degrees right now...I'll wait a few more hours. :0)

Would love to just rake. The leaves are dry now and tomorrow it might rain.

It is here that I must fess up about

THAT CHAIR

I tried it when hubby showered this morning.
It puts alot of pressure on the upper part of your legs and if you have no strength in your legs such as is his problem, I can see why it is of no help to him.
Makes you feel like you are going to pitch forward he said and damned if it don't.  sigh!
Okay...so he can use it to recline AND it is firm to sit in ... unlike the other that you sunk down into that he HATED.
Randy took that.  Now he wants to give me a nice china cabinet , so he has room for the chair.
i have no room for a china cabinet..............or do I???
Must look around and do some eyeballing of where I can stuff  place it.
 I thought I was doing a good thing getting hubby THAT CHAIR....... :0(  
I'll just keep my mouth shut about THE CHAIR.  I shit you not!
He will not use the new transport chair I bought him last year.
It's so light weight and easy for moi to get in and out of the car trunk.
His other one is so heavy that I piss myself lifting it in and out. I shit you not!!!!
I'm surmising it's because he can't get around in the transport chair by himself as it has no large wheels to maneuver.
It's function is to be pushed  by a second person.  helloooooooooooooooo that's moi!
Most times another person has to push his regular wheelchair as it would take him forever to get from Point A to Point B in a clinic or hospital.
In the house he uses the Canadian crutches. Those are his legs . Without them he would be crawling.
Some pople can manage to move about using their feet in a transport chair, but his feet are practically useless. sigh!
He claims it's uncomfortable, but I put an inflated cushion under his ass ...so how can that be??????
Maybe I should sit in it and test it out, before I open my my mouth and insert my foot again!!! :0)

We have acquired so much shit over 43 years and I have no idea of the why and how.
Hubby has so many,many tools and he can't use them for the most part.
I have tons of my own shit!
In my next life I will insist on having a Triple Car Garage. :0)
Maybe even bigger..........and a full basement .... and a full attic.....
I'd still find a way to overload all that....I shit you not!
That's All Folks!

D D Shit happens!

A little after posting yesterday I laid down on the bed beside a sleeping ( or so I thought) hubby and closed my eyes.
Almost immediately THE CHAIR was on his lips. Spoke in a normal tone....but Hell, like I laid down to rest and maybe, just maybe fall asleep.
What are you going to do about THAT CHAIR?
I remain silent.
I want to know what you are going to do about THAT CHAIR.
I spoke not a word.
I'm not going to use it.
It's no good to me.
Hope you can get your money back.
My wheelchair is more comfortable than that piece of shit.
Where did you buy it.
Finally I spoke two words.  Private party.
Which of course made him ask more questions.
Who?   Craigs List
How? computer
How much?   Followed by...whatever you paid for it was too much.                                
  $200  Hey, so I lied. Shoot me!
You told me these things cost over a thousand dollars.
Yes...some do.
Maybe it was with this last question that he fell silent and I/we dozed off.
When less than an hour later I hear my dogs barking and someone coming in.
Surprise!!!!!!!  Grandson Derek that lives in RI and his family. Wife Diane, Ava who will be 2 in December and his new baby Aliya that was born August 16th and I had never seen.
Up on the table goes the baby carrier ( I know they have a name, but I never had one of those and don't know the proper name for it) and 3 different types of carrying bags.
One for mama, one for Ava and one for Aliya.
Followed soon after by his brother David and his wife Jen and their son Jaiden.
One purse and 1 bag.
Followed by their dad...son Terry from NH. Minus any bags. :0)
Needless to say I was embarrassed being caught napping............oh shit!    Tell it like it is.
I was still in my pj's at 2 p.m.   Hubby lives in his pajama bottoms/lounge pants practically, but on him it looks good.  He doesn't function at any time of the day.
They expect to see him in bed clothes.
On Nana it didn't look good.    sigh! 
Can't use the excuse that I didn't have the time.   :0( 

Derek,Diane and Aliya

Papa on THAT CHAIR with Ava and her bow she put in his hair.

Jaiden with one of Logan's guitars.

Guess who...with the fussing baby!

Lots more on the disc they gave me to download. :0)

It was 8:30 p.m. when Jill came in and went to her room.
She was no sooner in and the house phone rings. The person callings name comes across the bottom of the computer. Butch.
Hear her swearing at him.
I don't have to call you . I don't have to answer my cell phone to your calls.
Stay the Fuck away from me. I don't want to see you ever again. yadda yadda yadda.
She hung up on him.  Then I hear her on her cell phone talking to someone while I'm at the sink filling the dog's water bowl.
Heard her say she will see someone in 20 minutes.
I stand there and confront her as she comes out of her room. .
You are not driving anywhere , I told her.
I'm going to Randys..he is picking me up.
Why, I ask.
Why can't I?
Why do you need to go there, I ask.
He's my brother.
Yuh, but why do you need to go there. He's in NH and you have a bed here.
You telling me that I can't even go to my own brothers house.
No, but I see no reason for it.
Logan is staying with DickHead tonight and he's not going to be home until the morning to grab his school bag , so why can't I go.
You can...I just don't see the point of it.
More repeating myself.
Finally I told her she was a grown woman and could do what the hell she wanted to, but she wasn't leaving me with a good feeling about leaving here for a month and her taking care of the animals and such.
Told her she couldn't even give me that peace of mind.
You are not going yet... she says.
I walk away.
Later I hear no one stirring. She is gone and her car is beside mine in the driveway.
Later I looked out and it was parked further over.
She may be in the trailer.......................and she may be some place else.....Some place else is more like it.
I am not buying that shit that she went to her brothers.
Nope,nope,nope,nope,nope.
Logan came in the front door at 6:15a.m. to get his school bag and went to her room.
Where's mom, he asks.
I replied..at Uncle Randy's.    choke, choke
Julie and DickHead were out front waiting for him. I'm sure they will buy that story. cough! cough!
So now I am waiting for whine bucket to show up here. It's that time in the morning.
Lady heard Logan come in and began barking. That woke us up, so I got up and my morning began.
Hers begins???????????????????????
I look around my house and get so discouraged.....ouside of making her and Logan's bed, picking up after him, some wash, some cooking, occasionally some mowing. Nothing else gets done.
She will rake the leaves up later and of course shovel and snow blow.
That's pretty much the extent of it.
Hardly ever runs a vacuum. Never washes a floor now. Once did. Never cleans the bathroom. Never did. May give the tub a lick and a promise...same with the toilet on rare occasions.
She use to be such a big help to me and when she had her own home she kept it very nice, plus worked in their variety store so her hubby could PLAY... all the while with kids to care for and meals to cook.
She never sat still.
sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I can't keep up with this housework and space to store things is at a premium.
It's disparaging to look around here and see the OBVIOUS CLUTTER and DIRT. :0(
Okay. Here I will use a slogan of mine.........Who will know  one hundred years from now???
Answer....no one.
But it sure as Hell BOTHERS THE SHIT OUT OF ME IN THE HERE AND NOW!. I shit you not!
I do so much for her to make her life better and I get shit on.
Gave her $200 the other day to save her front tooth. She found a dentist that gave her a good price.
There are some good guys out there.
Looks like whine bucket isn't showing. 8:33 a.m. He is long overdue.


9:33 and Butch arrived looking for her.
Asked where she was.
I told him where she said she was to me.
I work and she goes out drinking, he retorts.
I'm getting sick of this shit.
Out he goes. Comes back in asking for Randy's phone number and I gave it to him. Out he went dialing the number on his way out.
If he is sick of her shit....why is he calling ????
I seriously doubt  she is at Randys, but let her get out of that one with him when he finally does talk to her.
She will tell him it is none of his efffin business where she was like she always does.

Son Terry had some pictures on his camera of Red the squirrel.

This was taken right after he released him.

Looking fatter now.

Puts out nuts for him every day.

Still comes down to him when he makes chattering noises.

This is the lake/pond that Terry and Red live on. A nice ending to Red's story. :0) Long live Red on this lovely wooded lot on a body of water.
Terry still has the same OLD SHIT at work. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

10 a.m.  I'm getting up from my seat and making a stab at picking things up.
Maybe I should start with a kitchen counter. Sounds like a plan.
Nope...Going to shower and dress before I die of embarrassment again.
 That's it!
That's All Folks!  

D D The Lift Chair

The lift chair is a beauty.
Hubby says it's a piece of SHIT!

Everything was in place for the 6:30 p.m. pickup.
The doorbell rang around 6 and hubby commented  uttered, " it's fuckstick!
It was Julie picking up Logan.
Followed by Tracie a few minutes later.
Figured this might be a good time to get out of Dodge ( so to speak) and suggested to Tracie we go up to the Burlington Coat Factory. 
Which reminds me..........our store has hardly any coats now. They have always had a huge selection up until these last few months. Which of course is the time to begin buying a coat.  DUH! 
Just as we were stepping out the door, Jill and Butch pull into the driveway with THE LIFT CHAIR.
Figured I'd go back in and face the music now instead of later.
They proceed to start removing the Free chair son Terry gave us that hubby calls a piece of shit and he asked what is up.
I'm standing in the bedroom doorway and put this Cheshire Cat grin on my puss and say " Happy Early Birthday."
"What did you by now, " he asks. 
Told him a chair and he started to PROTEST.
" I was going to get rid of that chair and put my wheelchair there." It's more comfortable than any chair I have sat in . blah,blah,blah,  blah,blah!
Chair comes in and they put it down in it's final resting place.
Right away he is finding fault.....rather looking for fault. :0(
" What are those wires to", why does it need to be plugged in", " more to go wrong with it", yada,yada,yada.
They demonstrate it.
About that time I take my cue to leave as Tracie was in her car waiting for me.
Bought only a pair of slippers for myself.  $7.98 DearForms slip ons. Comfy.

Usually frustration makes me want to shop. ???
Maybe because it was Protesting instead of Roaring and Swearing.
From there we went to Good Tymes at 8p.m. and shared a Chicken,brocolli and ziti dish.
No extra fee there for an extra empty plate.  Unlike other places, as for instance a place in town that I had to order clam chowder  or some other food item beside the Fishermens' Platter hubby and I use to share.
Do love my clam chowder though, so it wasn't too painful. :0)

 Jill and Butch left when we did and after we shopped at B.C.Factory we passed the Moose Hall on the way to Good Tymes we saw her car parked there.:0(  On our way home at 9 it was gone.:0)
Her car was in the driveway. :0)
She had just made them frozen pizza.  Money is tight. I'm not surmising it..I know it!
She had wanted to talk the person selling the chair down on the price.
I told her the ad said FIRM.
Told them not to try getting a reduced price, but who knows.
I don't! 

Hubby starts the negativity about the chair no sooner than I enter our room.  I remained silent.
Hope you can take it back, hope you got it for free, it's a piece of shit, I tried it out and had an even worst time getting out of it than I did that other piece of shit.  sigh!
I am in worst pain now.
yada  yada  yada..
What did you pay for it?
Any amount is too much.
Look that chair up on the computer. It's a White Elephant.
HUH????
They have had law suits against those chairs. 
HUH?????
They don't even sell those chairs now.
HUH???
That guy that sold them on tv apologized for selling them.
HUH???
All this and more was said in short spurts between 9 and 11:30 p.m.
When I finally climbed into bed around that time he again mentioned the White Elephant and public apology again..
Had to ask him what he meant by that.
Years ago you could tell moi that black was white and white was black and even though I knew better, I wouldn't argue it.
I finally said" you mean those beds that raised into different positions?"
Think it was Bob Barker ??????           That's me thinking now.
It wasn't just those, it was the chairs too he is saying.
Then he shut up and went to sleep.
Hasn't started on THAT CHAIR today yet. 
We were supposed to go to Applebees at noon. We went last year. They give past and present service men a choice of 3 different dinners to honor them for their service to their country.
Mentioned it at 10. Now it's 10:30
Depends on how he feels noonish is what he said. sigh!
You don't eat free, he said. Told him I knew that but it's an opportunity to get out.
He is and has been speaking in normal tones. :0) 
I'd like to go try the chair out, but am not stirring up the POT. No sireee.  I shit you not!

Took some time out.
Hubby is in the shower.
I raced to get our bed made while he showered.

It's more or less a mutual decision that we will stay home today.
No biggee with me.

Neccessity called me away again.
Cleaned the ferrets cage and gave them fresh food and water.
Made hubby and myself BLT's with the last of the garden tomatoes. :0( sniff
Garden tomatoes taste soooooooooo good and the growing season isn't long enough for moi.

Butch is working until tomorrow morning.
Jill stepped out.
Before she did she was telling me about her gastro doctor and how her primary faxed over that her only medication was Ibuprophin.
He asked her about this and she told him that she never refilled the RX after the first time.
hmmmmmmmmm I wasn't aware she even took that for a month..................hmmmm
She told me she told him she was taking 100 Tylenol a week, but stopped a year ago.
He asked her why she took it and she told him she didn't know why.  hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm again.
He told her that was good as that much Tylenol was really bad on her liver and  her liver has had time to heal in the year she hasn't taken it.
I didn't ask her if she told him about the Bayer aspirin.
Maybe Bayer doesn't contain ibuprophin.  ??????
  Yet when I called their headquarters some time back, I was told it shouldn't be taken more than two weeks.

BREAK TIME !

Grands and their wives and my great grands piled in from Lowell, MA and RI.around 2
 Son Terry came from Kingston, NH to see his grandkids. 
Minus the wife of course.  She is one strange bird.
Pictures to show tomorrow.
I'm beat and am just going to have a bowl of Wheaties for supper with hubby.
Hubby started about that CHAIR right before they came in. Will talk about it tomorrow.
Jill didn't answer one of her favorite nephew's text.  I called her. 
The bar noises were in the background and she was DRUNK. 
That's beautiful ma that they are there. Have a nice visit with your grands and great grands.
 A few more beautifuls I heard her say and hung up on her. 
They all left at 6:30.
Is it bedtime yet?????
That's All Folks!

D D It's one of those kinda days

One step forward and two back.
Mirror mirror on the wall................................

Daughter Michelle called her dad from Missouri last night to talk.
She and her hubby are traveling by car to CA to leave her car with thier daughter so that she has transportation to work in her chosen field.  Nursing.
She has been an R.N. for a few years now and as a single young woman is trying her wings.
Moved to CA from MA not knowing a soul there. Went from the airport to a motel nd got a newspaper to look for a place to share rent and work.
Never in my wildest imagination could I picture myself doing that at any stage of my life.
   Thinking back to a year ago this time.............her hubby suffered two blown out knees from an attack on him at our local Elks Lodge where he was attending a committee meeting as a member of that committee.
Both legs in casts for over 3 months after his surgery. Michelle caring for him at home for months before he could even wipe his own butt.
PT and everything else associated with months of being in bed unable to do for yourself.
One year later is able to take care of his own personal needs and work, but his legs will never be the same.
Has adapted to the way he climbs and gets down stairs and many other things as a result of that beating.
Slime buckets pulled his sweat suit top over his eyes so he couldn't see and no one would rat out the person  or persons out. The Elks members that work there don't want to lose their jobs.
Real F'n nice.
A heated discussion turns into a personal attack. :0(
They say things happen for a reason.......in this case it has brought Michelle and Joe closer together.
Their 2 kids are grown and  they now can enjoy the freedom to travel places they have never been in the USA during the slow months of their catering business.   :0)
Jess needing a car gave them the incentive to take off across country. 
Stopping at the Grand Canyon on their way to CA and where ever the urge takes them.
Flying back.

    Another day...another appointment I just made for 11:50 this morning.
Hubby heads to his shower and asks if I can take him to the chiropractor today.
How's about a heads up on that earlier in the morning!.  sigh!
Now it's drop everything and rush to get out and  more of my day taken up.
Can't win....so why do I try!
Me time is hard to come by..........oh well, could be worse I keep telling myself and how true it is.
Got the sheets off the bed.... gave myself an E for EFFORT. :0)

Jill has her first gastro appointment at 1 today.
Her terminology of it is....A Meet and Greet appointment. Which of course, it is.

The SOB  of an EX SIL FROM HELL comes home either tonight or tomorrow night for a few weeks.
No structure in that household as it is....even less then. I shit you not!
Logan will be his brother Gil's relief babysitter for Erzi. sigh!

Some laughs.........then I am out the door. The Walmart Gang is back again !

Looks better on her.

skunk heads

How did she pour herslf into these?

Is it the knock knees drawing your attention?

Suspenders to hold the pants up and a top that is too short. Cute.

A good sport wearing this hat.

Reverse tank top???

Time to get my shoes on and shuffle off to Buffalo ..........

It was here that I was going to post this, BUT

even the best laid plans go awry and since we got back from the chiropractors, it's been one thing after another.

Had son Randy cut branches on my pink flowering Dogwood tree that our flag gets caught on and rips.

Took the ragged torn flag down and hung a new one up.

Randy stepped in dog shit so I scrubbed the shit off for him. Least I could do for the favor he did me. :0)

Washed and folded laundry and more laundry.

Went to the Senior Center to get our tickets to the Thanksgiving Dinner that the Elks Hall puts on every year and my son in law is the caterer.

Have been calling for weeks since my son in law told me they gave the Senior Center 160 tickets.

Only to be told today that they had only received 20 and the last 2 she had to give out had been on THE LIST  longer than I was.

When I question THE LIST as to why I wasn't put on it when I first called, I was told there was no list then.

Ahem!!!!

I mentioned who my SIL was and he told me that the Senior Center had already been given 160 plus THAT 20.

The vulture got all hoity toity on me and said " we have more members here than 160 and they get them first."

I looked her straight in the eyes and told her that I could always come through the kitchen of the Elks, but getting hubby in that way on the wet floors is a problem. 

The lady at the front desk wasn't Miss Congeniality either. :0(

Once again I was reminded by myself why I don't go there during the week just to get out.

Went two times to play cribbage over 5 years ago when hubby was in the hospital and the OLD GOATS were grumpy as Hell and I had one of THOSE at home.  I shit you not!

Now I'd like to know....since when do you have to join the Senior Center?

Is there a fee?  Do you get a membership card.???

I DON'T THINK SO!

It finally dawned on moi..... . Michelle was getting us tickets before she left and had said to stop in there to pick them up this week.

Went up to their place of business in the Center and they were there. TaDa!

Ordered sausage subs for hubby an I's lunch while I was at it and a large frozen Chicken Pot Pie for maybe tonights supper. Killed 3 birds with 1 stone. :0)

The only charge was for the Chicken Pot Pie.

Michelle has been married to Joe over 20 years and I can truthfully say that we have not puchased their lunch meals often because they don't charge us. We may have had 10 meals total.

I know the rest of Michelle's extended family gets free food as well as Joe's family and I just feel guilty.

Oh and so does their help that prepares the meals.

Jill has seldom brought stuff home and leftovers from weddings she donates to the Moose.

I do enjoy their minestrone and chicken soups and so does hubby.

When I made wedding cakes for a wedding they catered I would always bring a tub to take soup home in.

My Cheryl called me to tell me her 15 year old daughter tried to pull the wool over her eyes and told her she was going to go to the mall with friends.

Then she heard directions being given on the phone and knew something wasn't on the up and up as these friends had been there and knew the way.

Shayla isn't going anywhere now.  She is pissed at her mother. 

Hubby finally got off the bed long enough for me to make it.

Dryer stopped again. More folding to do.

Been in cahoots during the day with Jill on getting that Lift Chair tonight.

The arranged time is 6:30 p.m.

Can't wait to hear hubby bitch.....on second thought I could. I really could.... I shit you not!

Jill's next appointment is the 22nd to have the camera put down her throat .

Her gastro doctor will go further with testing if needed.

That's All Folks!

D D Sputter Sputter

I'm spitting nails after the news Jill gave me this morning.
Our conversation started out all well and good as I was pouring my cup of coffee.
She was showered and dressed to go out by 7:30 a.m.
Was going to WalMart for new school supplies for Logan as his folders are breaking , plus he needs other supplies.
So we are chatting and I hadn't noticed Butch in any room and asked where he was.
Went home around 5 a.m. 
She had asked him if he was set on cigarettes when they were coming home from eating at Mings between 4 and 5 p.m. last night and he told her he was.
Wasn't home too long and he asked her for a cigarette. Of course it was then that she let him know what he had told her.
She had 2 cigarettes. One for before bed and one for in the morning before she got out to buy more.
He pouted and asked her to share one.
She didn't budge. Then words flew from him how he will never buy her a pack again and she retorted back, GOOD.  Told him he doesn't buy hers as it is.
I'm surmising that the only reason he left here at 5 a.m. is because he needed a cigarette.
Store 24 is open in Lowell where he lives 24/7.

  Then she tells me that her son Gil called her last night to tell her that his dad called him and told him he has to drop out of college and babysit for Erzi to make life easier on Julie.
He is nearer to his goal ( becoming a trial attorney ) than he is to his goal of getting a degree in management.... is what he said to him.
What the FUCK!
This is typical of the EX SIL fom HELL.....shouldn't surprise me, but ...HOW LOW CAN YOU GO!
Jill told him it wasn't what she wanted for him, but under the circumstances of him relying on his dad and Julie for the roof over his head, he isn't left much choice.
Told him that she figures in his mid twenties he will break away from the control his dad has on his life.
Will have had enough of it............as she did.
   Maybe he can get a job as a Nanny later in life. Ya think?
Jill told him the babysitting of Erzi that he has been doing all along will give him  better parenting skills when he is a dad.      wow.... Guess that was spoken to pick his morale up.
   Asked us not to let on we know anything to him as he is feeling down enough as it is.
I'd like to look that bitch in the face and ask her how proud she is to sacrifice Gil's education so she can have a live in full time baby sitter. Now she can up and leave at the drop of a dime and not have to arrange a sitter for Erzi the two days he attends college or so he can have a life with his girlfriend. This is SICK!   Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I shit you not!

Hubby has a doctor appointment with his primary care doctor today at 11.
The local appointments, I drive him to.  Kind of shortens my day even more....but what the hey!

I should be sputtering here too, but .................
Tracie was here at 4 p.m. last night   That's early for her. 
Fixed hubby something to eat and got dressed and we were out of here by 5 at my suggestion.
We went to the OutBack to eat.  Shrimp el Fuego for moi and from there we got LOST in Walmart .
I still have crap to put away sitting in bags on the kitchen table. sigh!
Did remember to get the Vitamin B Complex....looking for a miracle now. 
I want the energy I had when I was 20 back.   ;0)
From there I walked over to GameStop with my full shopping cart and saw a PACKED HOUSE.
Black Ops for XBOX 360 was being released at midnight and a long line already had formed by 9 pm
I pre-ordered that game online weeks ago.
These young adults and guys ( all males forming the line) did not want to wait for it to come by mail.
My game is a Christmas gift. I could wait. ;0)
The line for purchases was still a wait, but I purchased the few things on Logan's WISH LIST and we did get back here by 10 p.m.  
Those guys wanted to play it ASAP.................I shit you not!

  HOME
Hubby was asked if he wanted a blood test done for HIV.  He's looking at me and asking what that is.
"Have you been having any sex"' I asked him.
"Hell no", was his reply.
You don't need the test , I told him. :0)
His doctor told us that they can't profile people  and have to ask everyone regardless of their age and condition.
    Since we got back from the V.A.Clinic it has mostly been a zoo.
Jill was back with the groceries and was peeling stuff for supper.
Butchie was here sitting at the livingroom computer.
Soon after a neighbor the street over from us that was recently widowed dropped by to visit.
He and Lennie always stopped in every now and then to visit hubby since he couldn't get out on his own to have coffee with them.
Then son Randy and his friend came and are still here.
Three different conversations going at the same time.   essssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhh!

 Everyone left out the door...one at a time.  Jill was the last to leave and Butch just ahead of her.
Butch didn't shut the main door and hubby is bitching about it. "he's as bad as the kids", he's yelling to me.
Randy brought me a nice mantle clock that his friend Fred had given to him and hubby is now saying why the FUCK did he give it to us. Why didn't he keep it himself.
Of course I couldn't keep my mouth shut and said " why the fuck can't I have it!"
Like......what in the hell is the big deal.  I have a mantle. 
I gave my great grandmothers clock that I had on it years back to my nephew that my mother raised.  He had asked for it. He has his memories of  Nana Thomas.
I have her china cabinet that I  have memories of it sitting in her dining room.   Plain and Simple. I shared!
Anyway..........hubby never gave me a reason why I can't have it.  He calmed down.
Think I have mentioned this before. There ought to be open season on men, like there is on ducks!  ;0)

It's been another overcast, dreary, drizzly day.   Temp. is 51
Much better than yesterday though and no wind either. :0)


Cute email that was sent to me.
  Strange bed fellows.

Walked into the livingroom and noticed the pendalum wasn't moving on the clock.

Asked why and was told it was doing it's ding dong thing every 15 minutes so Jill stopped the pendalum from swinging.

Too tired to argue right now. Will have to check it out another day.

It can't be that damned annoying........or can it?

Hubby just woke from a long nap. Logan is still napping. The other two are gone again.

This time to the Moose.

It's going on 5 p.m. Jill said she will be back to cook supper.

Hubby is  back napping.

Going to go rest my eyes......or nap.

I'm not holding my breath. I shit you not!

That's All Folks!

D D A bad start to a better ending day

We almost didn't make it to the OutBack yesterday.
We saw a police car parked facing out towards traffic at an auto repair shop here in town.
Hubby commented that it was empty and I could see the officer through the tinted glass.
He insisted it was empty and it was left there to be repaired. He told me that's the way they leave a car to be repaired or something like that.
I told him it was not empty, their was a police officer at the wheel and I could and did see him.
So I told him I would turn around and prove it.
With that he roared....you turn around and you fucking take me home if you do.
Damned good thing I'm not as stubborn and ornery as hubby is.
pssssssssst  The squad car was gone on our return.  I said not a PEEP!  I shit you not!
Earlier he had told me that I had ran a red light. 
That light turned yellow just as I entered it and it turned red right before I got completely through it.
I'm swearing on my life to him that I entered the intersection on green.
Nose of car ...green light. Tail end of car.... red light
Another car even followed me through it on yellow.
It's a wonder I don't have ulcers.
Then he tells me that I just want to argue if I try to defend myself.
Can't win for loosing.  sigh!
He's the one that can't get a drivers license because of his eyesight.  I shit you not!

Around 5 p.m. Mary dropped by. Hadn't seen her in a month or more.
As soon as I was told she was at the door it was ," what the fuck does she want."
Maybe he thought it was Tracie..............as I passed him by I said, "IT'S MARY."
Either way...what the efff difference does it make???????
She left in 15 minutes after repeating herself on things she has asked me before.
Definately is getting Alzheimers if she already doen't have it.  sigh!
Again she told me how she puts $20 worth of gas a day in her car and just drives around. Can't stand staying home alone.
I told her she should go park along a body of water and sit and watch it. With that she told me she would, but can't remember how to get to the ocean. Years back we use to go together to beaches and shopping. sigh!      We have lakes even closer.

OMG!  We are less than 20 miles from the ocean one way and less than 30 another. NH Salisbury beach and Hampton Beach and MA  all kinds of beaches .

I told her of other things we or she did that I remember. " I don't remember it", she said.   Sad!

  

Cheryl and Dana

Cheryl and Cindy freezing in the wind. 39 degrees

Here I said that she wears bright colors and she is wearing black. Got her shirt in Salem,MA and earrings.

She lost 14 pounds in 2 weeks on a all protein diet. Meat,cheese.  She works out at home and her muscle tone is defined. I have never been that committed.

Cheryl and her best friend Cindy hugging each other to keep warm.

Ginger

Hubby throws the covers back so he can climb out of bed. She was right beside him. If I'm in bed she sleeps on my pillow for awhile and then climbs between us. :0)  When he's in bed alone...she is right beside him.

While I was at Mings with Cheryl ...Tracie came and chewed Jill's ear for an hour.

Hubby let me know that.

When I had left Jill was cooking supper for her, Butch, Logan and Alex.

Steak tips, salad and mashed potatoes and gravy.

Dang....we are feeding him good. Had given her $60 to go grocery shopping with earlier.

Maybe he put a few dollars towards the meat...ya think?

Butch and Alex were gone when I returned . He took her to his place. Must still have heat and electric.

It's a windy, rainy, cold day. 39 degrees.

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Emeril  Laggase was on Dr.Oz today.

What happened to him? Looks like he has been eating his own cooking and alot of it. I shit you not!

Jill went back to sleep after she got Logan off to school and fixed herself breakfast.

Butch came. Turned her tv on and put the volume up. She took the control from him and turned it the volume down.

Butch left!

That's All Folks!
