D D Erin go BRA ! ;0)

The devil made me do it ! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Hubby is Irish thru and thru, but you probably already knew that! Are all Irishmen thick headed and come with a Bad Temper? Ya I know...they do have some good qualities too. THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT! I shit you not!
Last night hubby called out to me right around 9p.m. to tell me 20/20 was coming on, so I stopped what I was doing and threw my pj's on and joined him.  Can't count how many times he talked ....mostly Rat Trap and FINALLY I reminded him in a ( let him know that I couldn't hear the show )exasperated  tone... and I get from him, Oh shut the fuck up in a nasty tone...from him. .  The " new me"  replied, stop telling me to shut up like that. I'm a person. You are... he says???  YES, I am! You have talked to me like that too long and I don't deserve it. He made feeble noises that he hasn't always done this to me. I say "feeble " because I wasn't buying it. And NO, just because I am Polish, I understand things quite well and don't need to be screamed and sworn  at to make me understand HIS POINT OF VIEW, like he would always tell me when I would ask him why he talked to me that way.

Last night Tracie came to the door and stepped inside when she was told to come in. Heard her say hesitantly to the kids in the parlor, "I'm here to see Pat."

She tells me I said I might want to go out tonight, so she stopped by to check. I don't remember it, but may have.

WTF! Why Not! Heated up the corn beef and made hubby the sandwich he wanted. ( I'll enjoy all those NICE veggies later today ) and kissed hubby goodbye. He asked me why I was leaving. I didn't even hesitate to remind him that I had company he didn't want here, so I Had NO CHOICE and turned on my heels ...and left.

It was pouring ot. Opened the passenger door and goody, goody, no empty Sprite bottles to manuever. Hurriedly went to sit...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr  A box containing something she ordered by mail, other mail, a hairbrush, her cell phone, her cell phone case, her wallet, a note pad, and other various items had to be stored away somewhere FIRST. I stood in the rain as she made arrangements for them, sighhhhhhhhhhhh

I had one return to Burlington Coat Factory that I had retrieved from my car trunk prior to getting soaked.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry's were plentiful. Once we got to BCF she thought she had a return too. Dig, dig, dig...and comes up EMPTY. Already she has her back seat where no one can sit back there. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Asked her why she didn't put her returns in the car trunk to hear,IT's  FULL. Full, I exclaimed! What of???? Stuff I had in my other car.... shaking my head here. Tha means she has no clue. Just packed stuff from her back seat until the trunk could hold NO MORE. Our next stop was to KMart. She had a return and wanted to check if they had any more Chic jeans in her size.  No problem. I'll walk , I told her.  I hear from her....Really??? Yep really. It's in the same shopping center. Probably the length of five good size stores and attached to where we had just been. It had stopped raining by then. I step inside and wait and wait and wait. WTF could be wrong. I know she likes to find a right up front parking spot where ever we go, BUT! I'm talking like a good ten minutes here. Did she think I said I was going to walk home...???? sighhhhhhhhhhhhh  Finally she comes through the door. EMPTY HANDED. Could not locate her return. Thought she put it in the car.  Tracie,Tracie,Tracie, I'm thinking to myself. sighhh

She searched for the Chic jeans. They were not where she saw them in past weeks. Of course like we all would do she searched the entire department. I'm guilty of that myself. Called a clerk to help her. They both came up empty. NEXT..... She wanted to eat that 7oz steak that I had at Applebees that was that was delishous and she would be able to eat it with no teeth in her mouth. Well she didn't have to twist my arm to go there. It's in another town which would be a quick drive if you used main roads and the highway. Her gas....her car... fire away. Truth be told... if I was doing the driving.... this entire night would have been over in less than two hours instead of three and a half.. BUT time..I do have. SOMEDAYS.

They had a dish with shrimp, veggies and white rice that was a W.W. 8 Point meal. Jalepeno and lime and ? for seasonings.   Leave the HOT out for moi, which they did and it was delish.

Her steak was done more than Medium and wasn't quite as tender as mine was the other day. :0(

NEXT... She needed  to stop in WalMart. Have an exchange. No prob, I say. I'll sit in the car.Off we head a mile or less away on the same road.  I sit, I sit and she opens the door and I breathed a sigh of relief that she didn't go poking through the store as I had hubby's meds to give him soon. She forgot her wallet. I opened the glove compartment and handed it to her. ( THIS has happened more times than I can count. sighhhhhhh  It's just...Tracie.  FINALLY we are on the road again. I thought to home. Inquired where we were headed now and heard, to a store to buy lottery tickets. The cash prize is way up there.  Dumb me inquired as to why she didn't just go to the variety store just a half mile from my house.... to hear that she doesn't like the clerk.  Told her the gas CEO's must love her. Money to burn for gas.

To be fair...I'll try to be fair...this is how she spends her entire days and she fills them up in any way that she can....so I'm assuming. sigh! My idea of NOTHING, but I'll go along for the ride. It's not like I have a busy social life. Same as her. sighhhhhhhhhhhh

OMG!  Jill is filling my head with the latest Whine Bucket crappola.

He had arrived here after working a side job just before I left with Tracie and looked antsy as he waited for Jill to wrap up what she was doing.

He ended up having a melt down.when he found out she was working today for a lousy $80 and he wanted her to cook a boiled dinner fo him and his daughter Alex today. He went round and round throwing it in her face how she is never any help to him. She could be helping him with his bills by watching Alex so that he could have worked all the 3 years or so they have been together when he had her for his visitation. He had to pay his aunt, his sister, the baby's maternal grandmother  to watch Alex when she was a baby  AND she choses to watch Gavin for her son Ryan FOR NOTHING. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

When he left...he was done with her. She tried to give him his ring back and he wouldn't take it. Later last night she tried to give it away to someone. You should have heard me scream through the bathroom door. DON"T YOU EVER GIVE THAT RING AWAY! YOU are responsible for the cost of that ring if he takes you to court and no efffin way am I helping you out there.This is a solid platinum diamond engagement ring. 

 I resent other things as it is. Things I did not buy into such as Gil moving back after eight years and having to support him. Your ex and his wife off in Cancun and them not paying child support regularly. Yet they have money for vacations. Told her to mark my words that none of her sons will get a Free Ride if it ever comes to them having to pay child support.  She heard MY EVERY WORD, PLUS MORE!

Told her she better pray I live long enough for Logan to be grown as she has not helped our situation any by not making the father ( gag me ) repsonsible for some of his care. If the W.B. thinks he has a BITCH to gripe about. .... he HAS NOTHING ON ME! I shit you not!

FUCK...she must have really tied one on last night. Heard her come in at eleven....and it did sound like something or someone fell. Called out and Gil told me she was fine. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm????

After hearing she tried to give the ring away...I DOUBT THAT! Logan had his friend Charles here and I thought he was spending the night as they were still going strong in Logan's bedroom at ten. Heard his dad picked him up....time ????  The W.B. didn't show his face this morning. We could only be so lucky as to not see his face again. Jill is off to work. Apparently Gil isn't needed which isn't sitting too well with Jill. Can't blame her there. Plenty of work for my SIL's family today. That's the way it goes....doesn't it!

THAT and everyone does the work of TWO or THREE People.

For my friend Mary

For my friend Trish

 When I saw THIS...I thought of you Natalie

For ALL of us, I leave the following

Jude....all the way YOU!

(((hugs)))

That's All Folks

D D This is some....shit!

Went to bed aft ten and woke at 3:30 to pee. Climbed back in bed and more sleep...eluded me.sighhhhhhhhh One of those times that the events of the day would just keep rolling around in your mind.
My new kitchen table wasn't 48 hours old and grandson Ryan had it stained with indelible black Sharpie marker. Somehow as he was writing out his Emergency List for us in case the baby got sick got under the babies butt. Jill had provided him a thick pad to write on, but when he set the pen down and sat Gavin on the table in front of him, it rolled under his butt. Thought I'd have a stroke. Large black stain. :0( Tried conventional cleaners......one by one, to no avail. HELP!
Internet to the rescue...TOOTHPASTE. Rub toothpaste into it. IT WORKS! :0)

The birthday boy wanted to go to the Outback to eat. Was QUITE SET on it.
Some of us were not keen on it. Me being NOT one of them. There I could eat the 6 oz. sirloin with green beans and a salad, minus the cheese and croutons without guilt. For the life of me....what changed his mind an hour later...I know not of. It was Chinese food all the way. Maybe he didn't think his friend Kenney that was allowed to stay by his mom overnight,  could go with us.  $90 worth  of each of us choices were set up in pans with sterno under them and the FUN began. Remember I said pork strips and shrmp chow mein for moi???  Dang...one of those crab rangoons won't hurt, some of that ham fried rice won't hurt, a half of an egg foo young won't hurt. Two more pork strips won't hurt. WITH sweet and sour sauce OF COURSE!
Weigh In is at noon today and me thinks ME LIES to myself. I shit you not!

NEXT....amongst the chaos of a family gathering was a phone call. Gil took it as I was busy rinsing off my new dishes. Message from Tracie. She will be stopping by in a few minutes. WTF! My B/P went up. I shit you not! Hubby was sitting at the table and he made noises ( negative noises.) I knew without it being said, that Ryan and Sarah feels she oversteps her boundaries when they come here.

She opens the door and calls out my name. Everyone is saying...Come In as she lingers there hesitantly.

The reason for her visit was....she forgot her drivers license and could not pick up her pain med and another med that she badly needed without it. The drugstore will accept mine...IF I GO THERE IN PERSON. I've done it once before under these same circumstances. Tracie is NEVER organized. I shit you not!

Grab my coat and get in her car. SEVEN EMPTY  EFFEN Sprite

BOTTLES rolling around where I need to put my feet now.

Tracie Jean, I say. You need to bag these up. It's dangerous for me to climb in here.  Of course...I said it when there were three, then four, then five. This time I used the word..dangerous.

It's a good seven miles or better back to her house. Sometimes friends have to do what they have to do. sighhhhhhhh She apologized to Hell and back again.

There will be NO LIT Birthday Cake candles pictures. By the time I returned, the Fat Lady had sung and cake was cut and what was left on their plates was more than half. Inquired as to why. Dry cake and frosting not so tasty.....SOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of course...I HAD TO take a few bites. You know, the old TEST routine. Can't hurt. cough,cough

I.....Not having cake in a longgg time didn't find it to be as bad as the others did. Truth be told, I could have eaten a good sized hunk with NO PROBLEM, EXCEPT...having to step on that scale today. :0(

Hubby has always said that I could eat SHIT if it had gravy on it. Is that a compliment?????;0)

NEXTtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. Someone put their plate down too hard in the sink and took a chip out of one of my new plates. :0( As LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, browsing the internet last week I found where I can get replacement dishes. For a price of course. Next set, I will stick to a better material like the ones I just gave to Ryan and Sarah. They had all hand me downs. Nothing matched.

It's Live and Learn with moi!

Five fiftteen . Another cup of java  is needed.

I'm truly enjoying this quiet time. For too many years I would get up after just a few hours sleep, JUST SO I could have this quiet time. GOOD, But NOT GOOD!

Looking forward to what today will bring me. Like Hell, I am!

Think I will mosey over to a Texas Holdem game for awhile and get my ASS BEAT! BBL

Thirty minutes of that and i realized I needed to write out checks and pay the bills before I leave.

That's so much fun....NOT!

Went to my W.W.Meeting. Lost only 2.8 lbs. :0( MSG in Chinese food is a KILLER, I tell you!

From there I went to exchange a top at Kohls. BAD MOVE! I came out with much more than I returned. That new peachy/light rust or whatever the heck color it is....I have to have it. I'm of the opinion that I like my size 14's so much, I don't never want to not fit in them, but then again...you know I'm Daffy! ;0) Silly me....still I buy more in that very same size.

Filled my tank while it was half empty instead of on E. Less painful at the gas pump that way. My mother didn't raise any fools. :0) Then it was a stop at Wendys for a small 4 Point chili w/o cheese . 4 Points.

 A 2 Point yogurt and WALLA ...Lunch!  No standing over a hot stove in this rainy 41 degree weather for moi.;0) Leftover cornbeef and cabbage NUKES WELL too. WALLA! Supper!

Nothing is packed nor pressed, but it's all in one general area. Decisions, decisions on what to bring. Have shorts, capiis, skorts and white light weight slacks and many tops. It looks like I am staying a month instead of a few weeks. ;0)  Found the lovliest of a shade of Coral ( that's the name of the color I've been trying to think of ) dress. Ony a size 8 and 12 were on the rack. You know it...I couldn't squeeze my ass into that size 12.  :0( I TRIED HARD to though! ;0)

It's almost 4 p.m. I could use a nap. Wonder why??????   Til tomorrow. (((hugs)))

That's All Folks!

D D Thirteen years ago today,

I arrived back from spending three months at my brothers in the wee hours of the morning. Woke to snow falling when I got the call from my daughter Jill teling me she was on her way to the hospital.   :0) It's the BEST HIGH there is to experience.Happy Birthday Logan.
 Ryan and Sarah wanted no one in the delivery room except themselves when Gavin was born Dec.19th. I truly hope that one of Jill's other sons will let her share  that experience  in the birth of their child.

Yesterday was a Kohls evening. I had $10 off coupons and SPENT THEM. :0)
Tracie....Tracie Jean bought at the very least....FIFTEEN bras. This girl does not do laundry very often. I shit you not! Nooooooooooooooo...once she rises in the P.M. and finally dresses, she takes off to shop and visit me. What she does when she leaves here and stays up half the night....isn't laundry. There is a courtesy rule in the apartment building that ONLY SHE adheres to. No laundry after 10 P.M. Others in her building break the rule.   At the very least ...she owns 50 pair of underpants and one hundred pairs of socks. Like WTF!
So you say.....let her spend her money. Truth be told, it was my money yesterday. She had used up the entire amount that she could charge. I had a 30% off coupon and my charge card was paid. Asked her FIRST how soon she could repay me and she said Friday. She's done it before and paid me back....so not worried, but she didn't need to spend any of her money on them. She buys...TO BUY!
Many times during the time we spent together last night  I tried to tell her I don't want to see her every night.  Thought I did better in the use of my words than I have in the past.   She made noises about moving to S.Carolina . Her siblings don't give a shit about her, so why even stay around here. FoolishlyI always remind her that no matter where she goes she will have problems. You can't run away from them. She has one uncle there that was involved with her mom when she was living.  Cousins that she don't know.  Reminded her that unc isn't going to live forever. he's the last living relative of her moms.
She always reminds me that I need to get out. Told her I'd go up to the senior center even if it isn't my cup of tea. Told her that hubby is resenting her more and more and it's not just him. I need to be able to rest without feeling guilty and Tracie, I say i need to go rest and you still don't leave.
SO if that wasn't PLAINER to her,,,,so HELP ME!


I'm watching Gavin while Jill runs for the birthday boy's gifts and cake. Longggggggg time since I've changed a diaper. I was putting it on backwards. Colorful print across the waist...goes in the front. DUH!

She'sssssssssssssssssssssssss back and I hear the cake is beautiful. Will take a picture of it before I post.

We still haven't eaten. Logan wants Chinese food. Jill has gone to get it and Sarah just arrived from work.  I'm going to do....shrimp chow mein and pork strips. Hopefully those two things are the lesser of the evils of the other dishes that were ordered.  Must remember to keep my fingers out of the other boxes. I love it all. sighhhhhhhhhhhhh
Cake and [presents to follow. :0) 

Monday is coming up fast. Sometimes it seems...too fast.  So much to do before I leave. 

Here's the Birthday Boy before supper.

Bought hubby a walker with a seat.  Grandson Gil promises he will put it together tomorrow. Meantime.....it is...where it is. ;0)

That's All Folks!

D D Great Balls of Hail!

Sometime after midnight I awoke to such a clatter....jumped out of bed, threw the light outdoors on and what did I see, but Hail bigger than I have ever seen fall before.
Yep...I'm no poet. ;0)  Nor am I too smart....laid back down and sent a prayer out to my car INSTEAD of taking a picture of it. Ten minutes later it was pouring rain and it was only THEN that the light dawned. Up again...not much left to see, but I snapped a shot anyway.

Jill went out this morning when Logan headed off to school and my car paint job looks fine. ;0)
  She tells me that Cash was frightened and headed under her covers shaking. Big Bad Dog that he is. ;0)
Lady is afraid of thunder, but I heard not a whimper from her kennel beside me....UNTIL a few hours later when she wanted out to pee. Ginger just rose up on her hind legs to see why I was opening the slider. Nothing bothers her.  Up again....as I was a few other times during the night to relieve myself. Broken nights sleep.....heard hubby a few times too. BUT I checked out right after nine. YESSSSSSSSSSSS ;0)
Pins and needles sensation was gone and my feet felt flat again by the first time I got out of bed. No soreness...haven't had to put ice on my back where I got the injections. Another YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!

B and P furniture store just called at 8:15 a.m. My table WITH the hardware to put it together will arrive in 45 minutes.  Hubby is still AMAZINLY asleep. I say amazingly because Sarah came to drop off Gavin, the W.B. came from work and the dogs barked both times, and the phone ringing didn't wake him  or even disturb him. Now if I was the BITCH I claimed I was yesterday...I'd wake his happy ass.  He kept telling Bill the phycologist that Tracie always wakes him and he needs his sleep. Further inquiry from Bill gleaned that hubby sleeps off and on all day long. Not good, he told him.
Further inquiry also gleaned that hubby is a LONER. No passion for anything. Now or in the past. No real friends. He always preferred to see people away from the house. OH, people he knew did like him. He was 150 degrees the other way when he talked to other people. A sought after dance partner.  Can't begin to tell you how many women thought I was one lucky SOAB. THEY thought I was they standoffish one! sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  NEVER judge a book by it's cover! ;0)

Thinking of getting a pedicure today. ;0)   It's nice that Jill has to stay home to watch Gavin....I can take off whenever I feel like it. :0) 

Can't believe that the 19th is just around the corner. :0) 
My scale is being good to me this week. :0)
Logan's 13th birthday is tomorrow.:0)  Remember when?????  I do!:0)
Jill ordered a cake from that $50 Gift Certificate I won.  Has to drive a distance to pick it up in Manchester,NH. Table set will be set in place, JUST IN TIME. :0) 
The W.B. was whining this morning that his daughter Alex always misses out on our family things and he will too tomorrow. He has to work. Poor Baby!  We have just cake and ice cream, a family thing on THE DATE of the birthday. No...we won't be waiting til Saturday...Thank you very much.
He also was whining on the phone to his daughter that she didn't call or text him yesterday. He wants a call every day before she heads off to school. Poor baby. Must she tell you that she loves you before she hangs up too as Logan was required to do? Speaking of...his dad ( gag me ) has gone on vacation to Mexico. Mrs. Williams is caring for  Erzi AGAIN!  I most likely won't be alive to see the results from this child being discarded to someone elses care year after year. Who knows...maybe he'll be all the better for it. I hear from Logan that Mrs. Williams is elderly and very nice.  :0)

9 a.m. Pub table was finished being put together. :0)  We ...meaning Jill and I haven't decided yet if we want the 3 bench seats bolted together.

I like! Now will hubby be able to sit in that lone seat at the end? It's dark brown, but looks black to moi. Hubby never stirred when the dogs barked and the two men used a power drill to put it together. I can dig it! ;0)  His breathing is even...... :0)

Going to shower and dress.....

Need that second cup. BBL

10:19 p.m. Tell you about the rest of my day tomorrow. (((hugs)))

That's All Folks!

D D Seeing red at 6:15 a.m.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Hubby has been up a number of times during the night. NOT ONLY that, but I woke at midnight after falling asleep propped up on three pillows ( my aching neck ) to a LOUD Jimmie Kimmel. Never has hubby watched that show or any show at that hour. WTF!!!!!   I fell asleep during the THIRD hour of The Bachelor. Anyone know if Ben and the girl everyone loves to hate,  Courtney kissed and made up?
Six fifteen rolls around and hubby is on his pot again ....sitting and sitting, making his noises and THEN I hear CRINKLE,CRINKLE,CRINKLE. He's getting dog cookies out for the dogs. THIS has me PISSED and I let him know it. Told him, " the efffin dogs can wait." To which he replied " shut the fuck up." My blood began to do a slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww boil and I got up, made US BOTH coffee ( if he entertained the idea of going back to sleep.FUCK HIM!) and here I sit at my desktop with the ceiling lights on. Just turned around and he has the cup in his hand and his eyes are closed. Let him know that he had coffee in his hand . Wakey,Wakey.
I swear...I am not buying anymore dog cookies. He never stays up at this hour. Once he pees, he climbs back in bed for more zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's. It was still dark outside and I would have liked more zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's myself. sighhhhhhhhhhhhh


Tracie...Tracie Jean.......I was unbelievably frustrated as I threw my jacket on and headed out the door with her at 7:10.last night. Her car was a fucking mess. She had to clear the front passenger seat for me. Bag after bag was thrown into the back seat area. Tick,Tick,Tick. Three 16 oz. bottles of Sprite rolling around under my feet. Asked her what they were doing there to learn they were empty and she hadn't had the time to take them out.... yet. Did I keep my mouth shut? Hell no. Told her she didn't drink those three in one day and she needed to get rid of them and not make her new car a mess. ( Just like her mother would have. ;0) )  Before we went out the door I told her that Monday was my night to watch The Bachelor and I reallllllllllllly didn't want to miss it. Let's chew and screw and that's what we did. Me a garden salad with teryaki chicken pieces a her a grilled cheese . Eight fifteen we pull up out front of my house and I told her I did not want to go out today. I wanted to lay ON MY BED and rest after getting that cortisone injection today.  She tells me I should ask the doctor if it's better to lie down or walk around after that injection. Yeah...I will, but I won't tell her what the answer was.
She has NO FRIENDS HER AGE. NEVER HAS.  She always was more comfortable around older people. MOST have died.  sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I don't plan on dying !  If that's the case...I need to express myself in terms she can understand without hurting her feelings. That's a tall Order!  Two days ago , before she came here,  she went into an antique store and purchased me four red Princess House plates. I'm not an ingrate, BUT I do not collect Princess House.
I'm sure she spent a nice penny for them, but they do nothing for me. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
   Hubby was on the phone with his younger sister and for the next two hours they chatted. I found myself turning up the volume...more than once. ;0)
Yesterday was grandson Ryan's wife Sarah's first day back to work. The tears....flowed. :0(  Leaving the baby for all those hours was like the First day of school heartache we mothers feel.
Jill assured her that the baby wouldn't forget her.

The next tears were from my daughter Cheryl. After her P.T. appointment a few miles from here, she, her hubby, daughter Shayla and Shayla's doofey boyfriend came. I say DOOFEY cause he decided to walk around my pool on the edge of the pool cover and one of his feet hit the cover and the water rose up and soaked his shod foot. The pool is FULL!  It was this same time that the visiting nurse Scott came and it was a  nightmare for me. Cheryl was upset...when isn't she. sighhhhhhhhhhhhh She was acting like she would never get to see me again. What will I do if something traumatic happens while you are gone. I won't have you to talk to.  OMG! 
THEN she burst out crying again as she related that as she lay in the recliner beside her sleeping hubby , SIX TIMES he stopped breathing.  He won't see a doctor. She rushes in my bedroom to talk to Scott and get his input.  He told her it's serious and Dana needs to see a doctor. SEE Dana she yells. More tears as she cries out to Dana, " what will happen to me if I lose you."
 OMG! OMG! I bet Scott is still shaking his head after leaving THIS FUNNY FARM.

Kitchen set delivery is today. Floor still isn't washed. My guess is, it will be Me,Myself and I that does it IF it's going to get done. 
Going to finish my coffee and JUMP ON IT!  BBL

Kitchen set came....MINUS the hardware to put it together.  :0) Tomorrow they may come back if they are given the hardware. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Gas man never came the days he said he would to install my new water heater.  :0(  Does anything go right!

Hubby wasn't happy that he saw the psychologist,Bill, before he saw his primary.
He went on and on about Tracie and there was no way that dear old Bill could convince him that more than one person resided in the home. Hubby kept referring to it as ...HIS HOUSE.

The primary and I don't see eye to eye ....so this time,  he ( without coming right out and telling me that he only wanted to see hubby ) whisked his wheelchair away after asking me if there were any new problems. After I told him , blood in his urine he said after he examined him he will send him for lab work across the hall and he turned on his heels pushing hubby away.  I was pissed. When he came out with hubby I pointed out to him that I must be doing a good job cause he likes to tell everyone that I am neglecting him.  His B/P was 118/66. Pulse 59. Oh no...you are doing a good job, he said.
After his blood was drawn, the lab worker handed me a urine sample vial. Smart ass me told him maybe he should hand it to Dr.T and he should hold the thing while he pissed in it. ;0)  OMG the color of his urine was awful. Worse than coffee. You couldn't see through it. Handed it to the lab tech and I heard, "WOW." He told me I should ask Dr.T if he shouldn't start him on anitbiotics now. Foolish me had a nurse go inquire and his answer was no. He needed the culture and ? first.  SO BE IT! I did what I could. If he ends up hospitalized if this gets out of hand....NOT MY FAULT!

Cortisone injection is done and over with for THIS TIME. Feeling numbness still in my right foot. It feels just like it does when "it goes to sleep" when you sit too long.  The injection wasn't pleasant, but not bad. Worth it IF IT WORKS!  Had both sides of my spine done. Grandson Gil went with me and drove me home. :0)  When they say "you don't have a leg to stand on," this is one of those times.  ;0)  Lots , I mean LOTS of people were there getting it done and for most...it wasn't the first time.  Heard from some that every 6 months or more you need to have it done again. It's a love/ hate relationship, one said. Right now, my back feels no different. Time will tell. I can't drive for 24 hours. No strenuous activity also. ICE not heat if I get pain in the sites of the injections.  So far SO GOOD!
Forgot to mention....Jill cleaned the diningroom floor before the furniture arrived.  :0) YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
It's suppertime. I'm hungry.  Must think of what to feed hubby.

Just loaded my SmartOne Chicken Fettucini with steamed broccoli to stretch the meal and feel full. Clever....ain't I.  ;0)  Would have had carrots with it too if I hadn't forgot them on the stove...and burned them. :0(  sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  WARNING..... Computers...will make you forget you are cooking something on the stove. I shit you not!

Hubby has fallen asleep. It's 9 p.m. and I'd better join him...or make ALOT OF NOISE. I really can be a BITCH ya know.......  sometimes...................
Apparently Tracie listened to me last night when i told her I wanted no company. Just wanted to lie on my bed and rest. I LIED...I haven't been on my bed....UNTIL just seconds from now. ;0)

(((hugs)))

That's All Folks!

D D Not much in the way to say

THAT can be good. No???????????????????????

Hubby has blood in his urine tonight. Glad he has an appointement with his primary tomorrow before this bladder infection gets out of hand.

At noon we were at the chiropractors and at 2:45 I saw my primary, so the day wasn't totally wasted.

Almost...but not quite. Tomorrow hubby firsdt sees his doctors and then I have an appointment to get that cortisone injection in my spine.

FUCK IT! Just went out to my car to look for the paper that has the time my appointment is tomorrow. Guess who pulled up out front.

That's All Folks!

D D My passion was "seeing red!"

Yesterday you saw a good red. :0) Collecting those Royal Ruby items became a passion of mine after an elderly man( hubby knew him for moons) up the street was moving out West and gave hubby a few of the dishes he had in payment for his helping him pack along... with a few other things I still treasure and keep on my bureau.
From there.....every time I hit FL soil, I HAD TO STOP at Flea Markets and Antique Barns until I had a complete set of service for eight. What a HIGH I experienced when I found something to add to my collection.:0)
Some I found on EBAY. The pitcher and glasses  on top of one of my hutchses WERE the ex MIL from Hells. They fit nicely in my suitcase when I went to West,TX to help my daughter Jill clean the house out For Sale. ;0) Know I must have seen them when I lived there, but didn't remember them. Maybe because red glass wasn't my passion back then. Funny how those things happen. When I look at them...I only feel pleasure! Thank you very much.... you nasty old bitch!
  There came a time when I had everything there is to have in Anchor Hocking Royal Red Ruby :0) and the hunt was over.:0(
Last night I found a gorgeous red tea pot at TJMaxx. Didn't need it, BUT I bought it! :0) I'm going to surround myself with things I like! 
  Bought luggage....my first choice I put back on the shelf becasuse the wheels didn't rotate. Hard plastic bullet type with wheels that rotate is what I bought. . It's NOT PRACTICAL! Remembered that I was NOT the only one going on this cruise and four others needed to store their luggage in the car trunk, so today I'll return it for my first choice. ;0) All soft.

TODAY...I MUST vac and wash my diningroom floor! I must, I must! Tuesday's delivery is right around the bend! Hubby hinted yesterday that if he feels good, he'd like to go to the OutBack. 173.1 this morning on the Weight Watcher scale I purchased last year..  :0)  After the demonstration  at my meeting on Friday, I purchased the food scale. Now...to use it. ;0) Their NEW POINT COUNTER is much better. Bigger tabs. THAT, I USE! Took my salad dressing with me and had a small house salad mius the coutons and cheese with a Perfect Portion piece of broiled haddock, rice florentine and carrots. Skipped the bread and butter on the table. :0)WTG Pat!!!!
      Did everyone remember to turn their clocks ahead???? Jill did.    I didn't remember it.


I will take my leave now and BB before the day is over. Til then....

Diningroom floor didn't materialize. Too much traffic! Nor did the OutBack.

Hubby had some near falls. The last time... he went to sink to the floor as he was walking with his walker from the shower back to our bedroom and I grabbed him and leaned against a wall to hold him til W.B. and Gil ran to my screaming for HELP voice. THEN..I took hubbys walker away from him for the rest of the day. He woke at 8:15 ( 9:15 the new time ) and complained he hurt all over and it was MY FAULT cause I was late giving him his meds. WTF! FIFTEEN MINUTES is late? Even if it was 9:15 a.m ...he's woken many times at that hour and never complained his meds were late. He told Jill that I am holding back his meds on him. CRAZY OLD FART is what he is! I shit you not!

Just like he told me he never asked Jill to catherize him the other day. I looked at him and faked giving a shit. In an incredolous tone, I told him he HAD TO HAVE said something that made her think he wanted/needed to be catherized. All I said was, I was burning , he says. Yeah,yeah...that's why she had to ask Gil to finish giving the baby his bottle and go catherize him, she said. YEAH...it's such a fun thing for us to do. NOT! I was out at the time.

He asked her more than once, I was told. You know who.... I BELIEVE ! Hands DOWN!

New dishes. They are a dull black on the back side.

Guessssssssssssssss what! Tracie walked in. It's eight p.m. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

anddddddddddd what did hubby do...but turn the volume up HIGH on his tv to announce his displeasure. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

She brought her supper with her from a Pizza Hut in a Target store. Nine p.m. came and I started making it known that I was tired. 9:25 she left. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This is the smallest of the set of three that I returned. I'd know it anywhere...if I had kept it. ;0)

 

This is what I replaced it with. My first choice.

I think my DIL Deb will like me better for considering that they need space for their luggage. ;0)

Okay, I'm off to get my pj's on and hit the hay. Til tomoorow. (((hugs)))

That's All Folks!
