D D It all comes back to me NOW!

Was busy tidying up around the house and sweeping DOG hair up and I remembered what SET ME OFF Wednesday.
I turned the TV on for hubby to Tru TV figuring it would have some crime show on it and set about my business.
Instead of saying anything to me... he shut the TV off an hour or so later and went in our room.
I inquired if he was feeling okay and I get from him..."I'm not going to sit there and watch that shit".
Huh?  He mutters something about it being Crossing  Jordan.
I asked why he didn't change it. " You told me NOT TO he snaps.
Never EVER did I say that and I let him know it. He insisted that I did and that I said I wanted to watch it, so he didn't change it.
"Is that why I took my shower after I turned it on"....I asked.
I got him backed in a corner and he doesn't like that at all. Get the Hell away , he says.
"Leave me alone".
That's when the "pillow" jokes began. I left the room and started making "funny" instead of crying.
No more of that SHIT.  Done my share!  I shit you not!

Come 12:30 p.m. today Thursday he went in our bedroom. When I inquired he said he felt tired.
Gave him his meds with Pedialite.  " Didn't I already have that today", he asked.
Nooooooooooooooooooo...just apple juice and coffee. 
Last night you had Pedialite I patiently reminded him.  Could have said. just drink the shit!
Yeah, I KNOW...I'll miss him when he is gone.   I WILL.....just not all his Bull Shit!

Floors are swept, dishes are done by hand ( have to unload the dishwasher of yesterdays dishes still) towels are folded and stored away fed hubby and myself lunch and fed Ginger.
Bed WAS made. Past tense now. 
He still needs his shower...whenever he feels up to it.
Think I'll go check on those baby eagles....like I've been prone to do this past week or so.
Have won and lost at Texas Holdem in Pogo.  It's a fickle game. ;0)
Some days it likes me...others, Not So Much!  Can't win em all.

It's now after 4 p.m. Thursday.
Hubby got up on the RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED ;0) and sat down on the 2 seat sofa he has staked claim on this visit. I grabbed a pillow and was going to................................. :0) noooooooooooooooooooooo.
.....lay on the longer couch and play the recording of American Idol from last night's competition is what I was going to do. :0)
He commented or was it kidded that I didn't want to sit next to him, so I sat beside him and I, I, I handled the REMOTE.  Hubby knows NOTHING about recorded and recording programs and I HAVE LEARNED.... About time, ya say..............
Zipped over those darn mutiple commercials like a jumping horse goes over hurdles  I shit you not!
Then onto channel 182 down here on crime and watched people go POOF into thin air on a cruise, never to be seen or heard from again. sigh!
Those flags they fly are not necessarily the country from where the ship is owned. It's all legal manueuvers so the owners can govern themselves and it's sail at your own risk. Dozed off....how it ended...?????
Handed hubby the remote and here I am back at the keyboard while things are still fresh in my mind.
It's an age thing...ya know. ;0) 

   Must,must,must call my brother Larry tonight and see which days he will be here. He has Friday through Monday off from driving a school bus. They both do.  As of this past weekend he wasn't sure if Judy was coming with him. :0(  Will ask again.
DIL Deb and I need to plan Easter dinner and what we need to get at the store.

I've talked to both my daughter Cheryl and Randy as well as Jill . All in the same day...yesterday. :0(
I won't even go there...........Most of Cheryl's missing stuff is accounted for. In actuality...Jill reminded me that she gave me the yard swing and screen house.  sigh!   Take them.  I have no place to set up the screen house and I can buy my own yard swing now if I want one.
Jill tells me that Randy has been thiefing stupid shit like a Walmart bench.
His sickness is out of control. :0(  Some of my last words to him before I left for FL were don't break my heart and go back to prison. "I won't mom."  Yeah right, famous last words. 
NO ONE INTENDS to get caught when they do something that can land them in jail or prison.
He can't control his impulses and I don't know if anything can except being locked behind walls. sigh!
Okay soooooooooo, I WENT THERE.  Sorry bout that.

Talked to SIL Judy at 6.   Bro was peeling potatoes for supper. They will be here around noon tomorrow and stay overnight. :0) They have parrots to feed and care for so Sunday isn't an option.  :0(
Glad I began this today. Will have much to do tomorrow and tonight I need to get to the store.
It's 7:30. Another long day for DIL Deb. She isn't home yet.  sigh!

Julianna over at Surviving Boys tells me I can get rid of the disclaimer.
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I don't know about that.
Got the pictures of my 4k some odd driveway via my daughter's cell phone, sent to my son's cell phone and then sent to my email. 

I hate  IT and where the Fuck are my  3 Rose of Sharons ,iris', tulips, columbine and lots of other shit that was planted along that white fence????

I'm dying to know. If it wasn;t so late, I'd call her.

They took Paradise and put up a efffin  parkinglot ( as to daughter Jill's instructions of course.) She's only thinking about future snow and a level surface to snow blow. Sigh!

On top of that...hubby knows NOTHING about a NEW  driveway ( we needed it badly though )( it was the PITS and a death trap for hubby to manuever). Hubby use to work seasonally for the company that did this driveway.

Will make sure we get a night time flight home so I can keep him in the DARK one night longer. ;0) I shit you not!

One of the THREE last summer.

It's Good Friday

Called home and she said all 3 are still there. Phew!!!!

Arvin hubby's P.T. person is here. Larry and Judy should be here by noon. :0)

One good bit of news. Hubby Shit normal today after being constipated yesterday.

That's All Folks!

D D What a day

Been sweating my ass off ....so to speak.  Hot and HUMID here in Sarasota,FL
I know....you feel for me, but you can't quite reach me. ;0)

Did not go to our W.W.Meeting. DIL Deb still is not home from work as I begin tomorrows post at this 7 p.m. Wednesday hour.
No loss....excuse the PUN! :0) Maybe a wee bit, but it's just as well I didn't go. Hubby has been feeling shitty all day. Presently he is lying in bed and I check on him every so often.
Each time I ask him how he feels, he says " shitty."
I joke with my son every so often about wanting to put a pillow over his head when he is just plain bitchy to me, but deep down...............sigh!
He used the urinal before he laid down. Hardly any out put. sigh!
Asked him if he had been drinking his water. nooooooooooooooooooooooo
Shit! You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it.....as the saying goes.
I'd say he is dehydrated, but I'm not a doctor. Just have common sense.
We did ( son and I) get him to agree to lunch at a Chinese Buffet. He hardly ate, but did eat some desserts. If he drank his iced sweet tea, I can't remember.
I ATE TOO MUCH!  I shit you not!  Didn't stop with the stir fry.  :0(  For dessert I chose jello and pineapple chunks. Much rather have had something else, BUT .........
Hubby sees the jello on my plate after  he ate his desserts. " you never give me jello and I ask and ask for it". HUH?????????????????  This is the first time that I am hearing this story.  sigh!
 I would gladly put some on his plate if I had heard him request it....EVER!!! 
Next time....................he won't have to even say a word.  Let there be JELLO. ;0)

At first he didn't want to go out to eat because he hadn't SHIT today. HUH!!!!  We stop the Shits FINALLY and now he needs to shit in order to go out of the house ???????????????????

My reply was, I don't shit every day either. 

That must have done the trick, because he consented to go out. :0)  

    We used his new transport chair and he never noticed it.
I say that because he never commented and I'm thinking he was under the impression it was his regular wheelchair as we used his air pillow on it.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad I didn't get the grief today over it.
Earlier ...before I took him into the shower he was in good form. Yelled that he hated the sleeveless colored shirts I have been putting on him. "Never liked that kind of shirt", he said.  Don't put them on me anymore he ordered me.
I was trying to tell him how much cooler they were to wear in this humidity... He was having NONE OF IT!
Took the short sleeved shirt I put on him and showed him how he use to wear his shirt with the sleeves rolled up/folded up when he was younger. He wasn't IMPRESSED ............:0(
Talk to the PILLOW....that PUN is for you Trish. ;0)
Once on the couch he mumbled and groaned. I stand over him asking how I can help. Do you want to go to the bed to rest, I ask. he moans lowly that he don't think he can make it.
I go for his wheelchair and put it in front of him and he doesn't move. I stand there and stand there.
Finally I walk off and go back again. Same shit. After an hour I asked Sonny if he would help get him up and into the his wheelchair.  He does.  As soon as he hits the room he asked for the ceiling fan to be turned on.
Then it was...."cover me." Must admit here that he has difficulty getting his feet to slip under ther sheets and covers. His legs are like lead weights.  
Gave him fresh water and he left it sitting there.
I go check on him at 6 ( his pill time) and he drinks some water to take his med's.
Just checked on him and he wants the covers off. He only drank enough water to swallow his pills.
I don't know what's wrong with me he says as I left the room. To which I replied, "me either".


It's 7:30ish. Deb just drove into the garage. Long work day for her. She took yesterday off from her nursing home route to take me to my appointment and now she had to Pay The Piper and make up for the lost time on the road because of it.  sigh!
Just checked on hubby and he is sleeping.
Will end for now and continue tomorrow.

Got some Pedialite and apple juice into hubby and around 9 p.m. he got out of bed and came out of our room to watch tv for an hour.
I called it A DAY at 10 p.m. too.  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

DIL Deb closed the house up and turned the A/C on.last night and said it will be that way until October.
She doesn't like the house being shut up, but that's life in Florida.
Stepped out with Ginger last night and this morning before daylight so she could do her business and it was beautiful out. Nice breeze.  I didn't feel any humidity, but I sure as Hell did yesterday when the sun was out.

I felt like a wet mop. My "get up and go.....got up and WENT"

DIL Deb is up getting ready for her day of work. From here she goes to Naples and then Fort Myers.

A good five hours of driving just alone today. Son is leaving at the same time to repair a companies computer problem.

   Deb asked me to water her hanging pots before she left for work today.

So I was happy to oblige and I'm happily watering this that and everything away minutes ago and I get to the first hanging pot. The hose thingie is on Shower and I'm merrilee watering it away and......... ;0( .........in slow motion I watched the sheppards hook fall to the left ( away from me) onto the gazing ball stand and that knocked her stand over which in turn knocked the RED gazing ball OUT( the color she searched and searched for) and it fell to the lawn and rolled down into the culvert/ditch ( which is also grass. ) Didn't break ...PHEW!

My LUCKY DAY!!!! I shit you not!

My mouth was wide open watching this chain reaction. I shit you not!

ONLY problem is.....I'm not going down there to retrieve it. Too steep for me to attempt if I have A SON that can do it once he comes home from work around noon. :0)

It's minutes after ten and I just asked hubby how he feels today. "Okay,so far" were his words. :0)

Yesterday he was alternating between blaming the way he felt on all the med's he takes or P.T. Arvin who he claims is always blowing his nose.

Allergies, I told him.  " You say so", he retorts sarcastically.

It's time for todays Gong Show to begin. :0(

America's Funniest Videos wasn't recorded earlier. :0)

That's All Folks!

D D It's almost SHOW TIME

The date for my Day Surgery is May 5th. Ta Da!

Speaking of Show Time, last night's performance at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota,FL was Cirque Dreams illumination.
What first came to mind was " the human body" is an amazing thing. :0)
These performers have so much muscle control and can get in the most amazing positions and contortions.
Balance, strength, agility are a few more that come to mind.
The location was set up as a train station with these amazing people performing as they would for commuters passing by and the story was told ( sung ) by .....Emily Mattheson who has appeared in West Side Story and A chorus line amongst others.
Ukraine, UK,US,Hungary,Belarus a some of the countries these performers are from.
The most amazing contortionists, balance wire, jugglers, quick change artists, human jugglers, aerialists in strobe light settings wearing colorful costumes or bodysuits.
THIS show MUST go on, so if it's ever in your neighborhood, please go watch it.
You won't be sorry, I shit you not!

On another Front......or is that Rear.....hubby is rid of the RUNS. :0)

Back to ME......our flight May 4th will have to be changed for the third time.
DIL Deb will cancel it and not make another date at this time.
June 29th would be the absolute latest date as that is when these particular tickets expire.
I should be fine to travel in a week or two. ( mid May)   Will play it by ear.

I took a break. :0)  Hubby got out of bed at 8 and didn't feel good. Laid down on the couch and asked to have the celing fan turned on. Not too much later he said his heart was racing. Took his B/P which was good, but the heart rate was 88 and while that Normal for some, it's not for him.
One hour later and after resting I re-did his B/P.  Heart rate was 57, more Normal for him.
He is sitting on the couch saying, " I feel shitty."
The way he uses kleenex I'd say his sinus' are acting up from the pollen. He is blaming the P.T. guy Arvin for giving him his cold.
I didn't know that Arvin had a cold. ????? Thought it was his allergies too.
He called awhile ago and won't be coming today. It's just as well.  Sigh!

DIL Deb left for work early. She is training someone from Ipswich,MA  that just got hired and after she leaves for CA the Tuesday after Easter for 4 days and comes back she trains the new person she recommended her company hire the following week.
My son left for one of his jobs dealing with some companies computer problems. He will be home after noon and take us out to eat if hubby is feeling up to it. I'm thinking the Chinese Buffet and choosing my veggies (lots) and some shrimp to be stir fried in front of me and forgetting the stuff already prepared in warming dishes. :0)
Ate 2 slices of W.W. bread with 1 tablespoon of cream cheese . 4 Points total and Instand banana and cream oatmeal with fresh slices of banana ( another 4 Points ) for my breakfast. Eight Points of my allotted daily 29 Points are gone.
W.W.Meeting tonight.
Oh well.....It is what it is......that's what I get for not excercizing.
I know I did not over eat into my extra 40 some odd Points as I have in past weeks and LOST weight, BUT the scale here is not being kind to me this week. :0(
Sitting on my arse here at the computer isn't helping me either. Sigh!
Been nice chatting with you.
I will be back to check on what is happening this fine day in other people's lives.
Until then.........................

That's All Folks!

Jes funnin!  I would never want to bury my lifeline. I need all of you in my life.

D D As luck would have it

I'm a candidate for this less invasive bladder suspension surgery or what ever the medical terminology is.
Woo Hoo!
While it wasn't a painful test...it is uncomfortable from the stand point of the STRONG URGE to pee.
After the test we went to see the doctor and DIL Deb and I both were in unison when he asked when I'd like to have it done. ASAP! 
Unfortunately it won't be as soon as we hoped. :0(
The doctor wants me to use an estrogen cream  ( Estrace) he gave me Samples of......to apply 2xs a week for 2 weeks to the uretha to make the muscle stronger. 
I will be getting a call later today on a surgery date, but as it stands now it looks like I won't be leaving here the 4th of May.
WHICH in itself wouldn't be bad, BUT DIL Deb's oldest son, his wife and two daughters ( one is 2 and the other is 8 months old) will be arriving in Tampa for a two week visit on the 2nd of May. These little ones get up around 7 a.m. and don't go to bed until their parents do....around eleven.  Holy Shit....my nerves!
Deb figured that daughter Corinne could sleep on her bedroom floor for the two days we would still be here ( May 2 and 3 ) and Derek,Diane and the two young ones ( they sleep that way at home ) would bunk together in Corinne's bedroom.
UT OH! Wonder if grand daughter Corinne is aware of this. sigh!
Been counting and it looks like May 4th would be the date I would have the surgery ( I hope, I hope ) if ASAP means anything.
How I'm going to get around the no lifting or straining ORDER for six weeks after the surgery I have NO CLUE.
Will have to carry Ginger in her soft carrier in the airport to embark and disembark Z Plane. ;0(

Hubby had the RUNS all day yesterday. Not as frequent today.  Had my son take me to Walgreens to get Immodium AD early afternoon yesterday and all they had was in liquid form. Bought it andddddddddddddddddd bought another lightweight transport chair to use here ( now and in the future).
Hubby hasn't seen it yet. AHEM!
He best get use to it! The doctor said no heavy lifting for 6 to 8 weeks and I can stretch the truth to even LONGER if I have to. ;0)
Again last night hubby had me make him a large glass of scalded whole milk.
Between the scalded milk, Kaopectate capsules and liquid Immodium AD this diarrhea will be GONE today, hopefully.

It's 2:30p.m.
Didn't get back to the house til around 12:30. Fed us both and just now helped him with his shower.
Three days ago I put a gray sleeveless shirt on him with darker gray shorts made of the same cotton material.
He didn't say BOO!
Today I put navy blue shorts and matching sleeveless top on him.
He just asked me what the hell kind of a top I put on him.
The same kind I put on you three days ago, I told him. I don't remember a sleeveless shirt , he said.  sigh!
I figured where he didn't bitch about the shirt three days ago, he liked it and I bought 2 more the next day.
He has clammed up about it. :0)

Daughter Cheryl calls me awhile ago wanting to know where her yard swing went. She took the seats out of her van and went over to my house to get it.
GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She had bought a new cushion for it too.
She asked me if she could keep it in my yard until she got her own place again after she lost her home and was living in a hotel.
She tells me she has disowned her family.  Shit! Wish I could!  I shit you not!
Made a call home and no one answered . Left a message asking where it went.
Cheryl surmises that Randy junked it and got money for the scrap metal ....with Jill's blessing.
I don't know why.... as Logan and his friends sat on that swing all through the warm months last summer.

Tonight DIL Deb is taking me to something at the performing Art Center.. A treat for both of us.  :0)

Got on the scale again today. No Change. :0( :0( :0( 
Not Fair!  I shit you not! Haven't been active. Done NO walking in the neighborhood.  hmmmmmmmmmmm!!
Not now.........I need some R and R to clear my mind of the craziness.

That's All Folks

another hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm moment. ;0)

D D Who would you?

http://darkmothergoddess.blogspot.com/  asks you to name six people you would invite to dinner and WHY.

It's not a Challenge, but sounds like fun.
Here goes my list:

My mother, hubby's mother ( both deceased ) and Dr.W. the first chiropractor I worked for, because they never talked mean about anyone.  :0)  ie; They wouldn't say SHIT if they had a mouth full.
None are prudes!  If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all is their mantra. :0)
   My deceased baby sister Nancy who suffered from obesity most of her life so that we could have a good chuckle over the size I grew to these past twenty years.
Who would have THUNK IT! Not WE!
   My best friend Nancy who is ten days my junior and lives in Alaska so we could laugh about old times and just hang out together and feel young again.
   My friend Pea whom I met online some years back in P:ogo. We have never met, but I KNOW she would add something to the conversation around the table just by her wit and many other great human qualities.
   A chair will be set for all you  lovers of animals , PLUS all whom I feel a strong connection to out there in blogland as well as those I know personally. 
SIX...Be damned!  The more,,,the MERRIER! I shit you not!
What a Hell of a time we would have. I shit you not!

Care to name the six at your table and the reasons why? 

That's All Folks!

D D Hold the PRESS

Those undies were not a size 8, they are a size 7.   How did I put a size 7 in my cart....hmmmmm maybe the package was on the size 8 hooks.
Sounds good to me and lets me off THE HOOK! ;0)
Good thing that I bought 2 packages of three. One is a size 8. :0)
These others can go to the Wishful Thinking box.

These are the unfinished steps down the hot tub on the right side looking down. My son doesn't like the job because he thinks he could have done a better job. My DIL isn't happy with the work either and thinks my son could have done better, BUT she was tired of waiting for him to do it.

This is the left side

New cover for the hot tub to come.  Smaller stones will fill in areas between and around these steps.

This is the green flower bed curbing that is all around the flower beds.  Their tile/slate ( whatever) roof is the same green.  This area is where the koi pond will be constructed by Robin aka Jamaica Man. White Bird of Paradise was transplanted there yesterday to make room for the pond.

New umbrella for the patio outside of the lanai. Table and chairs will come when DIL Deb sees what she likes.

Just another view of the right side.

Deb cut and styled my hair yesterday. It looked gr8.....YESTERDAY and today it looks okay, BUT.

I need to learn how to use a round brush on my own hair.

   Her new car came yesterday. Now she has to wait for the company she works for to send her new plates and a gas card before she can drive it. Meantime she has the use of her other company car. :0)

  She had my son outside working with the landscaping many hours yesterday and she was working right along side of him. One was HAPPY....One WAS NOT!

Hubby still has the TROTS, but not as bad. The urinal was three quarters full this morning. He must have used it 3 or 4 times during the night. All this fluid without that  med.in him.   Looks like he is eliminating no more or no less urine, but he blamed it on that med. sigh!

Okay....enough of me and my prattle today.

Did I hear someone CHEER???????????  ;0)

That's All Folks!
