Grandson Gil is back to his old tricks. :0( Daughter Jill's B/P was 202/107 at the time of her yearly exam yesterday. :0( Her female doctor is also my doctor and my yearly exam was right after hers. The doctor told me she is worried about her stress and the damage this is doing to her heart. :0(
Mine on the otherhand was 102/69 and for the life of moi I don't understand WHY! As I drove home from Ed's my cell phone rang and it was my SIL Dana telling me that the restaurant where he works didn't pay him Monday as they had a bad two weeks and they had no food etc. Could they please BORROW $. In the back of my mind, I'm thinking ...what if this place FOLDS and there are no More Paychecks. They have been Homeless before. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Just a few miles from home my cell rings again. It was a SIL (whom never married) and is apparently suffering from some sort of dementia ( I haven't seen her in a few years ) and "The Family" decided that she shouldn't be driving since her accident a few years back and her doctor told her she Failed his test ( couldn't remember our Senator's name ..Duvall Patrick blah,blah,blah and she knows the Family talked to him behind her back and her older sis is a Bitch, blah,blah,blah.
She needed someone to listen....listen I did. sighhhhhhhhhhh I know there are two sides to this story and I will eventually hear the OTHER.
Pull up in front of my house and son Randy is there working and right away he hits me with this and that. Come see what I did here, this is what I need now as it needs to be done. Another $64 for grass seed. This new lawn has cost me BUCKS between the moocho loads of soil delivered and the bricks/decorating stones and all else it has entailed like seed fertilizer/starter etc. Not to mention what I give to him. Definately not what I'd pay a contractor, but I question myself as to why I even decided to put a new lawn down now that I am hardly ever here. That was "back when" and this is "NOW."
He discovered a month or so ago that the water pipes under my house had seen better days and were leaking her there and everywhere and had to replace them. The outside faucets were also leaking. No one blew the lines out before they froze this winter. Once upon a time hubby use to do all these things to prevent that from happening. sighhhhhhhhhhhhh
It just goes on and on when you own a home.
My mind was on doing as much as I could while I'm home. Like locate a few things to take to the motorhome, find some of my Spring clothes, etc. and here I had to stop and listen to him and appease him while my mind was racing here and there knowing that my appointment was in less than an hour.
Made a mental note to stop at the bank on my way back home from the doctors to withdraw $$$.
So much on my mind..............................
How The Hell my B/P was those numbers I will never know ....especially after I was told that I have gained SEVENTEEN POUNDS in the past THREE MONTHS! :0( Holy Hannah!!!
Ed wants to eat out all the time and DAMN IT....he doesn't have to twist my arm. He suggests we eat somewhere and I am all ears and eager to go. I knew I had gained. My clothes tell me so. :0(
Jill has to again get up the courage to have Gil put away with court ordered 90 days this time.
Thirty days...with him completing everything in 21 and being released ...didn't HACK IT! :0(
Her heart is torn and worn and HEAVY. Some days she is where she just wants to tell him to pack and go. If he is going to die, do it sooner than later.
She drinks....( she had just entered the VFW + V as she calls it when i called her saturday.. Told me she was just having 2 drinks and leaving the bar. Yeah, RIGHT! Called her a few hours later and she was WASTED!!! Home, but WASTED. It nauseated me hearing her voice. I shit you not!
Her broken upper arm is healing s l o w l y. She goes for PT three times a week. Sad to say, she hasn't learned her lesson. It makes me sad to think...What will it take??? How low...will she go???
I told her yesterday that she will miss out on all the things that I got to do. See ALL her grands come into the world, go to their weddings, etc. See great grands. :0( Makes me sad writing this.
My oldest's health is so bad. On oxygen 27/7. He will be 60 Oct. 13th....if he makes it. :0(
Still smoking still breaking the filters off the butts. :0(
Jill goes to court against The Whine Bucket this Friday. One of our towns "finest" will pick her up and stay with her. I do not wish for him to lose his job with the fire department. An Anger Management class is what he needs. One that he doesn't know the intructor and maybe learns something. IF ONLY he had listened to me and stayed away from here like I ordered him to and not come running to her when she called when she fell (drunk) and broke her arm. sighhhhhh
Ed is at the campgrounds waiting for Dish America to be installed as I type this. WE will have TV. YAY! It's nice to be connected to the world in as such we will get the NEWS. I'm taping my favorite shows at his home, so I won't be missing them while we sit around a campfire. :0) I got some special kind of thing added to my Verizon plan that is no bigger than a compact which allows us to use our laptops up in the boonies ( Rutland). Technology is MARVELOUS! I shit you not!!!
He arrived there at 6 a.m. this morning with wood he loaded in his car even earlier this morning and called me to ask how to activate it so that he could play his morning Pogo games while he waited for the technition from Dish to arrive between 8 a.m. and noon. HE is an Early Bird. I shit you not!
Me...I slept in until 6. :0)
I have a chiropractor appointment at 10:30. :0) My bones are sooooooooooooooooo achy. I find lately that I am not as young as my mind thinks I am. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh Still have to stop at Kohls and Walmart before I head back to Natick. Did grocery shopping at 8 last night and now have to pack all that stuff ( refrigerator stuff) and load it in my car when I am done with my appointment and shopping. I'm worn out thinking about it. Poor me, huh. ;0) Still have to get out in the back yard in the vegetable garden area and dig some more worms. Had to let most of the others go back into the earth at the campgrounds as they would never have lived to use as bait. I'm so nice like that. :0)
Or...crazy.......................... Hush!
I'm neglecting my back yard. Weeding galore to do. Last year I couldn't do it either. It use to be such a showplace. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I'm not home enough to do it.
Shit Happens!!!Jill is busy with the inside and her 16 mo. old grandson Gavin. Plus, having that broken arm.
How she does what she does and lifts and cares for him...I'll never know.
Been watching my multiple bird houses and that gives me much pleasure....even if it is JUST SPARROWS that are making their nests in them or living in them.
I miss that being away from my home. On the other hand, I'd miss Ed and our times together if I stayed here. Can't win... for loosing! I shit you not!
It's almost 9 a.m. Time I showered and got ready for my day. Don't know if i will feel up to heading up to Rutland to the campgrounds this afternoon sometime. I made plans for us to attend a Dinner and Dance at the Elks Friday. My daughter Michelle and SIL are the caterers. :0) YUM!
The other two trips are on a Wednesday. . Much better.
The times F L I E S'ssssssssssssssssssssssss so fast these days.
I try to catch up on all that is going on in your lives and while I may not Comment to each and every one of them, please know that I am reading and think of you all. There are just not enough hours in my day. Where do they go???
(((hugs)))
That's All Folks!
