Just a Day in My Little Old Life

It's Been A While...

2011-09-10T00:30:00.004-05:00

I didn't get to make it to my Doctor's appointment on Tuesday. I was sick and couldn't stay out of the bathroom. I rescheduled but to soonest that I can see him is Oct 2nd. I am calling every other day to see if anyone has cancelled but no one has so far. My regular doctor "Dr Z" called me and told me that my blood work that he did last week showed that my platelet count was falling. That just doesn't sound good.

Enough of that, here are some photos of Baby Eli and Michael & Alex riding their new bikes...

Three Hours...

2011-08-19T23:45:00.002-05:00

Wow, It's been about a month since my last post. I have a sinus infection that is one of the worst I've ever had. I felt like crap but forced myself to go to the doctor today because I want to feel well enough to go to Stephanie's wedding in two weeks. I have to come up with a way to wear my hair to the wedding. I only have about one-third of my hair left and it's dry and course.

The three hours was how long I waited at the doctors office.

My liver is acting up again. I have an appointment with the liver doctor on Sept. 9th.

Tired...

2011-07-23T23:16:00.004-05:00

I haven't felt so well this week. I started feeling a little better yesterday. I only slept about 4 hours today because I spent the morning throwing up. I needed cat litter and some other stuff so, I had to make a run to the store. I made a trip to Walmart with a stop along the way at Dollar General.

I made it to both stores but I was running out of energy fast. I came home and unloaded all my stuff and put it away. Then I had to empty the litter box for "Squeakyman" a/k/a "Squeaker" a/k/a "Boo Boo Kitty"

Now I'm curled up in bed watching TV. I hope sleep comes soon.

Stephen's Birthday Cook-out...

2011-07-14T23:07:00.009-05:00

We had a wonderful cook-out and played frisbee for Stephen's Birthday.

Poor Kitty I'm Sorry...

2011-07-10T22:18:00.002-05:00

I haven't felt very well the past couple of days. I have to get feeling better because we are having a cook-out for Stephen's birthday this Wednesday. His birthday is really on Sunday but Wednesday has the most people off work.

Last night I made Stouffer's Mac & Cheese for my supper. When it was ready I brought it, and a drink to my room to watch TV while I ate. When I opened my bedroom door SqueakyMan tried to run out and tripped me. I dropped my plate and all the very very hot mac & cheese dropped on SqueakyMan. I checked him out and didn't find any wounds. He just doesn't seem as active as normal but he is very loving.

The Smartest Baby In The World...

2011-07-05T19:56:00.002-05:00

Can you believe that baby Eli just turned 3 months old?

Really Big Cat...

2011-07-02T20:34:00.004-05:00

This big kitty is at "The House of Mews" a wonderful no-kill shelter for cats in Memphis.

I received my printer/scanner/copier that I had ordered from Walmart really cheap and free shipping. I love it when they have free or $0.97 shipping that way I can have it shipped to the house and not have to do the "site to store" thing.

I have started working on getting all my beads back into my online bead store. They have started listing things a little different so everything has to be relisted. The problem is that I have over 400 different sets of beads. I hope that I can have them done by sometime next week.

It turned out that Serina had my missing photo albums. She left them by the front door. I'm so glad to have them back.

Still Looking...

2011-06-24T23:38:00.002-05:00

This is just crazy. I still can't find the cord to my old laptop.

I needed to get one of my narcotic prescription refilled. I was pretty sure that I couldn't transfer it from Riteaid to a different drug store. I did think that it would be OK to transfer it to another Riteaid about 5 miles closer.

When I went to pick it up this afternoon turns out that I couldn't transfer it and I had to drive another 5 miles to original Riteaid.

I'm in one of my depressed moods but not to bad.

Unpacked But Can't Find Anything...

2011-06-22T20:16:00.003-05:00

Before we moved I had one bedroom and my own bathroom. Now that we have moved I have two bedrooms and my own bathroom. The boys built me a set of shelves in my old room which was wonderful it held so much stuff.

When we moved my shelf unit was too big to go through the door. It had to be torn apart and wouldn’t go back together. I ordered thoses white plastic shelves from Walmart. I ended up buying two more, of those shelves, for my bedroom and a smaller one for my bathroom.

I thought that I knew where everything was but I can’t find the power cord to my old laptop. It’s old and letters have fallen off the keyboard but it still works for hooking up to my TV and watching junk.
I don’t think I saw the cord from the computer to the TV either...

Unpacking...

2011-06-20T04:44:00.001-05:00

I got a little energy today and worked on getting some more stuff unpacked. I still have quite a bit more left to unpack but I will get it finished sooner or later. Probably later.

I can't make up my mind which bed spread set I want. It has to be washable because of "Squeakyman a/k/a Boo-Boo Kitty".

So Much Going On...

2011-06-19T00:03:00.000-05:00

There has been so much going on in my life during the past week or two. Some good and some bad. The good is that Serina and her family have moved back down here. They have bought a trailer in Robinsonville which is about 45 minutes from here. It turns out that is past my driving limit so they will have to come see me. We had them all over (plus Stephen, Chrissy and baby Eli) for a cook-out on Thursday. We had a nice time.

The bad part is medical stuff and to be honest I just don't want to talk about it.

Sicker...

2011-06-08T17:42:00.002-05:00

I woke up at about 2pm. I made a run to Walmart to pick up two more shelves. Now it's 5:45pm and I'm so tired I can't stay awake.

Tomorrow is my appointment with the liver doctor. Maybe he can come up with something that will help until I get a liver transplant. Ok, going to take a nap for awhile.

Sick...

2011-06-08T01:56:00.002-05:00

This is about the third day that I haven't well. I had to go pick up a prescription at Rite-aid again. I didn't realize that I had another one that ran out before my doctor's appoinment Thursday. It is about 32 miles round trip to Rite-aid. I will be changing them all to Kroger's pharmacy.

When I got home from Rite-aid it was 4pm. I was so tired that I got my PJ's on and went to bed. The man that Michael had hired showed up about 6pm and woke me up which was fine. I let him in and went back to lay down until he was done. I fell asleep and I think he said good-bye or something. I hope it wasn't important!

I want to feel well enough to go to Old Navy tomorrow. I saw some clothes on TV that I liked. I'ii let you know.

Feel Bad...

2011-06-06T20:59:00.001-05:00

I slept all day Saturday and Sunday. That would be about 14 hours a day each. I would have slept all day today but Michael woke me up at 4pm. I needed to pick up the shelves that I ordered. Michael also had someone that was going to come over at 6pm to finish fixing some drywall. They didn't show up.

2 out of 3 of my shelves have come in. The clerk at the store said that my other shelf should be in tomorrow. If I had know that I would have waited until tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to pick up some medication at Rite-aid which is now about 15 min from here and pick up my shelf which is about 7 min in the opposite direction. I also want to find oven racks soon.

I feel so bad that I'm not going to go out to my truck and bring in my shelves.

Part Of My Order...

2011-06-04T23:48:00.002-05:00

Two of my three shelves have come in. I have learned that while "site to store" is free it's also slow as pony express.

I got a message yesterday from Serina and they should be here next Thursday evening. I also have an appointment with Dr. D (liver doctor) next Thursday.

When I get paid on the 15th I am going to buy an oven rack. I want to make nachos and a rainbow cake.

I Ruined The New Cutting Board...

2011-06-02T23:46:00.003-05:00

I did get a little bit done today. I have started working on getting my bead shop opened again. First I have to go through all my beads and inventory them. Then I will have to make sure that I have photos of every set of beads. Finally I have to list them in my shop. This will take forever.

I decided to have an apple and I wanted to cut it into slices. I took a sharp knife and sliced it on the new beautiful cutting board. I didn't realize that I was cutting into the board. When I told Michael and Alex that I had ruined their new cutting board they both said it was fine don't worry about it. That was very nice of them!

I read in Facebook, from one of the girls post to her friends, that Serina and her family will be here next week. Would have been kinda nice if they had told me directly.

Memorial Day...

2011-05-30T21:28:00.002-05:00

Please remember, that a lot of our soldiers came home not only physically hurt but mentally hurt too. My Dad came home with what they then called "shell shock" now it's called "post traumatic stress disorder". It can really hurt their whole family. I love you Daddy and I know you did your best.

BTW - I slept about 14 hours!

New Favorite Photo of Eli...

2011-05-30T04:55:00.002-05:00

I now have a new favorite photo of Eli. I've never seen a baby that could smile at at almost two months.

Walmart Site to Store...

2011-05-29T19:42:00.002-05:00

I need two large white plastic shelves for my beads that I sell. I need one smaller white plastic shelf for my bathroom. They didn't have them at either Walmart.

So, I ordered them from Walmart using their "site to store" which is free. The two larger shelves shelves will be here on or about 06/06/11 - 06/10/11 and has shipped. The smaller shelf has not shipped but should be here the same time.

I Love Dollar General...

2011-05-29T19:39:00.002-05:00

They carry the cheapest cat stuff! Litterboxes, cat litter and air freshner.

So Tired...

2011-05-27T17:46:00.004-05:00

It's gotten to the point that I only have enough energy to stay up about 3 hours a day. We had a cook-out yesterday evening and I had to go lay down about half-way through.

I took some photos a couple of evenings ago just as the sun was going down and a bad storm was coming.

They didn't turn out very well. But, this one that I took of Eli last night turned out nice. He is 55 days old in this one.

Good Kitty...

2011-05-24T23:12:00.002-05:00

I went to Walmart and bought a new litter box. I also bought a roll of that thick plastic runner. I put the plastic down under my window and rolled it out. I found the lid to one of those larger plastic tubs and I put it on the plastic and then put the litterbox on top of the lid. I put him a bowl of water and a bowl of food on the plastic also.

I have kept the door to my room closed and during the day I raise my blinds so that he can get on the window ledge and look outside.

He's been great! No accidents and he sleeps on the bed with me the way that he always has.

Tomorrow I need to run to Rite-Aid and pick up new prescriptions. I guess since there isn't a Rite-Aid close to us I'm going to have to change drug stores.

Kitty Problems...

2011-05-21T19:02:00.003-05:00

I slept for 12 hours again today! I have a kitty problem going on. At the house where we lived for 5 years we had a fenced backyard and a cat door so that they could go outside and do their "business". We had a few problems mostly because he is scared of the snow.

Now that we have moved into this beautiful house things have changed. The backyard isn't fenced so they must use the litter box now. I have the litter box in my bathroom, lucky me. He threw-up 2 fur balls that left a mark on the carpet in my room. BTW - none of that expense stuff works to get it up. Then he used the litter box and wiped his but on the living room carpet. Thank God that cleaned up well.

I'm buying a carpet shampooer next month and I hope that will help.

I'm going to Wal-mart in a few minutes and buy another litter box to keep in my room. This way at night (my night that is) I will be able to close the door and keep him in here. Well, off to Wal-mart...

Tired...

2011-05-20T19:10:00.002-05:00

I made a trip to Goodwill and Big Lots. I need a nice shelf for my nik-naks (boy is that spelt wrong). I still have the wooden shelf that the boys made for me last year. I'm going to put all of my bead stuff on them and keep it in the spare room. Oh, I forgot to mention that my wooden shelf is in lots of pieces in the garage.

My sons and daughter-in-laws have been off work for two weeks from the river flooding. Michael & Alex are back at work now. Stephen (I'm not sure if Chrissy is staying home with baby Eli) goes back to work next weekend.

I'm need to check with everyone but I would like to cook-out next Wed or Thursday. While we are waiting for the food to cook maybe the boys can put my big wooden shelf together. It would really help with my unpacking.

BTW - tomorrow is NOT the rapture! Only God knows when the rapture will be.

Testing...

2011-05-20T15:58:00.002-05:00

It's been over a month since I have posted. Somehow I screwed up my computer and I could write my post but when I clicked the publish post...nothing happened.

I tried several times to fix it but because I'm a noob I just couldn't figure it out. I searched online for a couple of hours yesterday for someone who had had the same problem. It worked!

I'm not feeling very well right now. I will do a nice long post either tonight or tomorrow.

More Baby Eli Photos...

2011-04-06T00:31:00.010-05:00

Here are more photos of Baby Eli. A couple I took myself. The rest I stole from different people on Facebook. I think that as his Grandma I should be allowed to "borrow" all of his photos I want. Mommy and Eli... Daddy and Eli... Daddy and Eli at the nursery window a few minutes after he was born...

Eli and his Uncle Michael...

Chrissy calls this his Jazz Hands...

Look I've got a head full of hair...

Eli making a fashion statement in his duck hat...

I'm a Colts fan already...

I'm going to go see him tomorrow and take somemore pictures. I'm a proud Grandma of all my grand-children.

He’s Here...

2011-04-03T22:26:00.003-05:00

On Thursday 03/30/11 weighing in at 7lb 9ozs and 14inches long...
Elijah Joseph Dodd.

We call him Eli and he is perfect in every way.

Good Days and Bad Days...

2011-03-24T23:08:00.009-05:00

Yesterday was one of those days when I felt pretty good. I made it to Krogers and got a B12 shot. I had read that when you have this liver problem that it will make you feel better. It is supposed to help with hair loss too. I cleaned out the refrigetor (it was all of my old stuff). I even worked on my bead shop for a while too.

Today I've just felt like crap and I've done nothing but lay in bed.

Chrissy's Baby Shower...

2011-03-19T22:02:00.003-05:00

It was a very nice baby shower. Here are some photos...

Chrissy and Stephen...

Good eats...

Dr. Z To The Rescue...

2011-03-15T18:42:00.003-05:00

I finally made it to Dr. Z's office this morning to get an antibiotic for my sinus infection. I hate that I'm allergic to all of the cheap antibiotics but even though it isn't cheap it works well.

Michael and Alex left Sunday for their spring break trip so I have the house to myself until Thursday. I decided on Sunday afternoon that I wanted Captain D's for dinner. I went and picked up 2 pieces of fish and a baked potato...sounds good. After I had eaten one piece of fish I started getting sick to my stomach. I get that way a lot, side-effect of my liver problem, and have some really good medication for it.

Well, the medication didn't work and I spent the rest of the evening in the bathroom. I don't think that it was food poisoning but I will not be eating Captain D's for a long time.

Well, that's all folks...

Cute Picture...

2011-03-10T06:12:00.001-06:00

Did anyone lose this kitty?

My Cat Can Beat Up Your Cat...

2011-03-10T01:26:00.002-06:00

Last night somehow an adult cat made it over the fence and into the house through the cat door.

It was about mid-night and "The Squeak" was asleep in my bed when we heard Annabelle start screaming. "The Squeak" went flying off my bed and into the living room. I got out of bed and went into the living room in time to see "Squeaker" beat the hell out of that cat and send him running back out the cat door.

"Squeaker" hung around the cat door and checked out the back yard for about an hour making sure he didn't come back.

My cat is one brave kitty!

Fingers Crossed...

2011-03-08T22:13:00.003-06:00

Michael and Alex put a bid in on a beautiful house last week and now they are just waiting to see what happens. They should find out by Thursday if they got it.

They are leaving on vacation on Sunday. I could get all of my packing done while they are gone.

It's a plan!

Stupid Printer...

2011-03-05T16:59:00.003-06:00

I posted back on 2/1/11 that I had ordered a digital scale so that I could mail out bead orders from my Esty shop without going to the Post Office.

I received my digital scale and I learned how it works after playing with it awhile.

So, I was all ready to mail out my first package. I packed it up, weighed it on the scale and went to Paypal to print out a shipping label. That's when I found out that my laptop is not working with the printer...again.

We have a wireless printer and when it won't work with this laptop I've always gotten it to work with my old one. For some reason it now will not work with either one.

I have sold two orders this weekend and now I'm going to have to take them to the Post Office on Monday to mail them.

I think that I'm going to look for a cheap printer that I can plug my laptop into and print shipping labels.

Bad Printer!

I'm Southern Through and Through...

2011-03-05T15:36:00.002-06:00

I am proud to be from the South - where tea is sweet and accents are sweeter; summer starts in April; front porches are wide and words are long; macaroni and cheese is a vegetable; pecan pie is a staple; Y’all is the only proper pronoun; chicken is fried and biscuits come w/ gravy; everything is darling and someone is always getting their heart blessed. Have a good day y'all!

It's So Cute...

2011-03-03T20:17:00.002-06:00

I went and picked up my little refrigerator at Walmart today. It's just perfect. I will take a picture of it tomorrow.

While I was at Walmart I picked up some things to go into my refrigerator...Diet Coke, Bottled Water, little bottles of Sunny D, Pop Cycles, Cheese and Fruit Cups.

Now I have to just wait for it to get cold.

Guess What...

2011-03-02T17:39:00.002-06:00

I posted that Walmart had changed the delivery date of my little refrigerator to March 7th.

Surprise, I received an e-mail today that said my refrigerator was at my local Walmart ready to be picked up.

I ordered it on 2/19/11 and it shipped on 2/23/11 and arrived today. That's 7 days in shipping. I checked the tracking and was surprised to find that it shipped from a town in Arkansas that is 2.5 hours from here.

I'm very tired so I will go pick it up and buy goodies to stock it with tomorrow.

Test Results...

2011-03-02T17:37:00.001-06:00

I went to the doctor today and got the results of my liver bisopy. I already knew that I had liver disease but I found out that I don't have cancer too. Evidently the two are found together alot.

They took 5 large tubes of blood because they want to do a whole bunch more test. I will keep you up to date

Well Ba-hum-bug...

2011-02-27T03:01:00.002-06:00

I received an e-mail today and my little refrigator won't be here until 3/7/11. That's a week from Monday!

Look What I Bought...

2011-02-25T16:22:00.002-06:00

Maybe I’m just lazy but I think that this will be really neat. I ordered (it hasn’t come in yet) a little refrigerator for my bedroom.

When I don’t feel well I can get me something to drink or snack on without going to the kitchen. There are times, when I’m in bed, and I want some water or a Diet Coke. With a little refrigerator by my bed I can reach over and get one.

As you can see in the photo it has a place for can drinks in the door. It even has a tiny little freezer for ice or pop-cycles.

The shipping was high so I did the site-to-store shipping for free. It’s nice to drive a truck!

I’ll let you know when it gets here.

How to Pet a Cat...

2011-02-18T00:58:00.002-06:00

I got this off of Facebook. You can buy the poster at: theoatmeal.com/comics/kitty_pet

Happy Cats...

2011-02-16T22:44:00.001-06:00

The weather has been so nice the last couple days. We now have two very happy cats.

I could tell that it was warmer at night because Squeakyman is staying outside longer now. I’m also no longer getting big wet cat paws on me at night.

I happen to look out the window into the backyard and Annabelle was laying in one of the patio chairs catching some sun.

I saw “The Squeak” heading for the litter box today and I picked him up and pushed him out the cat door. It will take a few days for him to realize that the snowy/icy weather is over and it’s time to go outside and do his thing.

I did not get any sleep at all today. Both of my legs were aching big time. I’m going to try to go to sleep in a few minutes. I need to go to see Dr. Z tomorrow and get an antibiotic for my sinus infection.

Sweet dreams...

Cold...

2011-02-14T03:18:00.005-06:00

This time it isn’t the weather kind of cold it’s the I’m sick kind of cold. I read the label on the Nyquil bottle and found out that I can't take it because it has Tylenol in it.

According to legend, if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow, there will be an early spring.

Phil did not see his shadow this year so there should be an early spring. The weather channel’s 10 day forecast shows no snow or ice. This is good, I have had enough for this winter.

Going to try to go to sleep now and hope that I feel better when I wake up!

Snow and Doctors and Sleeping...oh my...

2011-02-07T21:34:00.000-06:00

For the past week all we have had is rain and snow. Not the nice snow this has been a snow mixed with rain mess. Weather Channel called for snow today and we did get some but it was only a dusting on the roofs and in the yards. I made a run to Wal-mart last night and stocked up on food so that I wouldn’t have to go out in the messy weather today.

They are saying that we will have up to 4 inches of snow on Wednesday. The problem is that I have a doctor’s appointment at 11am Wednesday morning. I don’t drive well in the snow. It’s more like bumper cars. If you’re out driving on Wednesday morning and see a big blue truck coming your way...run!

I will get my liver bisopy results Wed. I’m pretty sure that I know what they are going to be. I’m just taking things one day at a time and trying to enjoy life. It’s hard for me to be depressed when I’m cuddled up in bed under my electric blanket with “The Squeak” curled up beside me.

I am going thru one of those spells when I can’t get enough sleep. I’m nocturnal so I can’t go to sleep until about 5 or 6am, then I sleep all day. By all day I’m talking about 10 to 14 hours. I have to set my alarm so that I can make it to a my appointment Wed. The good thing about it is that his office is just a couple of miles from Captain D’s. I will run and pick me up some lunch after my appointment.

OK, I have to go forage, I’m getting hungry!

I Finally Did It...

2011-02-01T02:24:00.002-06:00

I have a little business on-line selling beads. I make some spending money and it gives me something to do.

When the weather is bad or I don't feel well I hate to have to get dressed and take packages to the Post Office. So, today I ordered a small digital scale so that I can weigh my packages.

When it gets here I have to teach myself how to print postage on-line. Then I can just put them in our mailbox out front.

I will still have to take packages, to the Post Office, that I'm sending to Canada. They have to have a customs form and the rates are different.

I will let you know how it goes...

I Went Bowling Tonight...

2011-01-28T00:47:00.003-06:00

It was so much fun and all I had to do was go into the living room. I think that Michael and Alex have every game console there is. They bought the Kinect thing so that you don't have to use a controller.

I had a great time playing. I haven't been bowling in over ten years, since I hurt my back. I came in last but I still had a ball.

Wrong Again...

2011-01-26T22:44:00.002-06:00

The Weather Channel issued 3 severe weather reports for yesterday and last night. They said that we would have 6 to 8 inches of snow.

We actually got...a few snowflakes. The rest of it went around us. They were right about it getting cold.

I did get dressed today but I probably should have just stayed in my PJs because I didn't leave the house. Now that I think about it I hadn't left the house in several days.

Tomorrow I have to go to Walmart so I will leave the house.

Monday...

2011-01-24T23:41:00.003-06:00

Just a typical Monday. I did get my liver biopsy set-up for next Thursday which I think is Feb 3rd. Nothing to eat or drink after midnight but I have to be there at 6:30am so that's not so bad.

They did my other tests, the upper and lower scope thing at Dr. D's clinic next to his office. They had to put me to sleep for both of those. For some reason, and I'm not sure that I want to know what it is, this test has to be done outpatient at the hospital.

TTFN

Same Thing, Different Day...

2011-01-22T22:18:00.002-06:00

I really want to post in my blog more but I don't want to spend everyday writing about how I feel or how my illness is going.

Since I wrote last week we have had wet weather, a little snow, a little ice and to top it off a little rain too.

I have this pair of black wonderful winter boots with the non-slip bottoms that I ordered on-line a couple of years ago. Yesterday they had them again and I ordered a brown pair and a wine colored pair. I hope they get here fast because we are having bad weather again this week.

Tired...

2011-01-16T21:37:00.000-06:00

That describes my whole week. The Doctor said that it’s a symptom of my illness and that when I get tired I should take a nap. I’m also having a lot more pain with my back since they lowered the amount of morphine I get

I yesterday I slept for 16 hours and I could go back to sleep now.

One Down On My Bucket List...

2011-01-10T19:50:00.004-06:00

I got to mark something off my bucket list today.

I have never made a snow angel.

I lived my whole life until I was 52 on the Gulf Coast, where it doesn’t snow,

I found out since I moved here that there are different types of snow. Wet snow, icy snow and not that many that are the type that is good for snow angels. Today was good snow angel snow so here it is. Me making snow angel...

My snow angel...

Assorted snow pictures...

It's Over...

2011-01-08T23:41:00.000-06:00

Football season that is.

Both the Saints and the Colts lost today. So, it’s time for me to pack away my jerseys and tee-shirts.

It’s time to pack away Squeaky’s Saints outfit too. I know that I said I would never put clothes on my cat but his Saints coat and Annabell’s Colts dress are just so darn cute.

Squeaky loves to wear his coat, he would wear it all daylong. Annabell on the other hand doesn’t like to wear her dress.

BYW - Weather Channel says that we are going to get about 6 inches tomorrow night. We’ll see...

Told You So...

2011-01-06T13:53:00.003-06:00

I have to go next Thursday morning and have a liver biopsy done. My last few tests have been done at Dr D's clinic but this one has to be done out-patient at the hospital. Can you say "hurry up and wait"

Here We Go Again...

2011-01-05T10:08:00.003-06:00

I have a Dr's appointment in less than an hour. This is the one when I get some test results back but I sure he will order some more done.

I will let you know what I find out.

We Did It Again...

2011-01-03T19:59:00.002-06:00

Once again both the Saints and the Colts have made it to the playoffs. Both of them play this coming Saturday.

I did get out of the house for a while today. I had to mail a bead order and that meant going to the Post Office. Happy, happy, joy, joy the postage rates went up. Not the price of stamps the price of "flat rate" boxes and "first class" packages.

Then a quick stop by Rite-aid for a refill and the grocery store for some muchies.

OK...tired now...must sleep.

Happy New Year...I’m Alive...

2011-01-01T16:43:00.000-06:00

I’m going to try and post something every day but I’m sure that there will days that I’m not feeling up to it.

Going Shopping...

2010-12-04T08:19:00.002-06:00

I guess it's because I slept so long yesterday I can't sleep now. So, I decided that now would be a good time to go to Walmart. I'm hoping that it won't be crowded and that they have the stuff that I need.

I am craving homemade chicken and rice soup today. I'm going to serve it for our weekly football Sunday get together. I know that Stephen likes it. I don't know if Chrissy likes it or not, but because she's not a big football person and her back has been hurting from the baby so I doubt that she will come over. Michael doesn't like any kind of soup and Alex likes chicken noodle soup. I'm sure that Michael will find something to eat and I will get some noodles and before I put the rice in I will take some out and put noodles in instead of rice.

Darn it! I just remembered that I need to put gas in my truck. When I drove all over the place on Wed it was really cold so I drove it home on fumes. Wow, it's 55 outside but it's supposed to rain and get down to 28 tonight.

The forcast say that it will be down to 14 Tues night. Oh crap...I have an appointment with the "liver" doctor that day.

15 Hours...

2010-12-04T02:04:00.002-06:00

15 hours that is how long I slept today. I fell asleep at about 7am and I woke-up about 10:30pm. One of the side-effects of this liver problem I have is that it causes extream fatigue.

When I get really tired, I have found that if I go and take a nap I feel a whole lot better. The problem with this is that I never know if the naps are going to last an hour or 20 hours.

I wanted to go Christmas shopping today but I guess I will go tomorrow. It's really nice this time of year to have a handicaped car tag!

Well...TTFN

Same, Same...

2010-12-02T23:58:00.000-06:00

The home health care nurse came to see me today. I don't think that she needs to come back again. I'm getting around fine, well as fine as I was before the hospital.

I'm still on the milk shake diet and I have gained 1.5 lbs.

I have an appointment with the "liver doctor" on this comming Tuesday. I know that he won't be able to give me any answers because he will want to do a bunch of test first.

Dr. Z "family practice doctor" told me that I needed to "chill out" and try to relax and stop worrying. He said to quit weighing myself everyday to just do it once a week. His office called me and said that the blood work that I had done right before Thanksgiving was the same as the last one that he did right after I got out of the hospital. I don't know if the results are good or not but they haven't gotten any worse.

OK, bedtime!

Kind Of Different Day...

2010-11-30T23:05:00.000-06:00

I woke up about at 3pm, if I hadn't had my alarm clock set I would probably still be sleeping. I had to take 2 packages of beads to the Post Office by 4pm. The Post Office is only 10mins from here so I take my time getting dressed. It was 39° so that meant coat, scarf and gloves.

I couldn't find my car keys! I looked everywhere and even dumped my purse out. Then I figured it out, someone had borrowed my truck. I looked outside and sure enough my truck was gone and in it's place was Michael's pretty new car.

I went and called Michael and told him that I had to get to the Post Office in 20 mins. He told me that he had left me his keys on the counter. So, I drove it for the first time today. Wow, it drives nice!

Alex's Mom is moving and she had 3 more loads of boxes to move. Alex asked if I felt up to driving my truck so that they could move them. (they don't know how to drive a stick) So, I drove for them and ended up having a nice time...except for the freezing weather.

It was a nice day.

Cracker Barrel...

2010-11-29T17:52:00.001-06:00

I just love Cracker Barrel's chicken and dumplings. They are the closest to my Mama's that I have found.

About 3 times a year I will call in a "take out" order with a couple of biscuits and they are always great.

Today I ordered some and went and picked them up. When I got home the biscuits were hard as a rock. That was OK it was really the chicken and dumplings that I wanted. I hate to say it but those were the worst dumplings that I have ever had! They looked fine but tasted kind of soured.

I threw them away and now have to find something for supper.

Best Buy - Love Them or Hate Them...

2010-11-28T21:05:00.003-06:00

I need a new laptop. I love mine but it's kind of falling apart. The left shift key has fallen off and it broke one of the little clips that held it on, so I need a new one. The display/monitor what ever you call it only works it my laptop in open about 3" or if it's open all the way. This means that I have to lay with my knees up and prop the keyboard against my legs. When I do this, because of my weight loss, it digs into my stomach and presses against my morphine pump...ouch!

I found a computer online at Best Buy for $299. Didn't say it was on sale. So I thought that I would wait until after midnight Thanksgiving for the Black Friday sales prices to start just to see if they might lower the price. I go to the Best Buy web-site and they have gone up $100. I sent Best Buy an e-mail about it (should hear back this week).

Today Stephen was over watching football with us and I went to show him the computer on the Best Buy web-site and it price was back at $299. I showed that it was in-stock at our Best Buy but I wasn't going to fall for that so I called the store and they had 5 in stock.

Stephen drove me to Best Buy only to find out, of course, that they really didn't have any. The girl in the computer dept. sent me to Customer Service, where I had to wait in line, to see if there were any on rain check that hadn't been picked up. There weren't, by this time I wasn't surprised at all. I asked if I could get a rain check and was sent to wait in another line.

When I get to the head of the line the guy said that he would call around and see if they had it at one of the Memphis stores. I told him that was fine but they would have to ship it to this store because, of health reasons, I couldn't drive that far. No luck, none available. Then he comes out of the back room with a computer, he said that the Geek Squad had loaded a bunch of software onto this one so if I wanted this one I would have to pay extra a whole $100 extra but he would give me a break and only charge me $69 extra...can you say bait and switch. I finally got to talk with a nice girl who told me that I could order one, from the factory, and it would be here on Wed.

I went ahead and paid for it and I will let you know what happens. Somehow I just don't believe it will be here Wed, but we'll see.

Quite Day....

2010-11-14T18:05:00.006-06:00

I never did go back to sleep but I had plaenty. I've had a headache and nausea all day, this is the first time that this has happened but I don't think it's a good thing.

The Saints are on there by week and the colts won!

Michael was going to take me for my driving test today but this time I didn't feel up to it and it was cold outside. We finally decided that I had been home almost two week and I'm sane again so I can drive.

There are some things that I really need and I have a Doctor's appointment on Wed.

Slept All Day...

2010-11-14T05:23:00.005-06:00

I slept from 7am until 6pm woke up long enough to take some of medication. Fell back asleep at about 7pm and slept until about 11pm had to force myself to get up and find something to eat so that I could take another round of medication. I feel asleep again about mid-night and woke-up about 3am took my last round of medication.

Here it is at 5:30am and Stephen and maybe Chrissy (she is not a football person) are coming over for the Colts game at 1pm today. The Saint have a by week this week. I'm only making tuna salad with bread or crackers and maybe some cheese to go with the crackers.

I'm going to try to get a little more sleep. I don't need it but I don't want to screw up my sleep cycle.

TTFN

I'm Back...

2010-11-13T18:16:00.003-06:00

I'm sorry it's been so long since I posted...I've been sick...enough about that.

I slept from 7am till 5:30pm. Michael & Alex had both left for work. It's just me & the cats.

Teaching Michael...

2010-08-11T01:23:00.003-05:00

I'm teaching Michael how to send photos on blogger. When I found out that Alex's GrandMa is allergic to cats I had to change my plans. I was going to make her a pretty little red dress and have the ring tied on a ribbon around her neck. Well, this is the dress that I was going to use.

P.S. No hat just flowers in her hair.

La, La, La, La, La, La...

2010-08-07T00:32:00.002-05:00

I swear I've had enoung of this being sick stuff. Either I don't sleep at all or I sleep way too much. But either way enoungh is enough. I wasn't going to tell anyone but since Regina already did I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

I've Been A Bad, Bad Girl...

2010-07-21T18:30:00.003-05:00

Since I started on Facebook I don't post here on my blog very often. I've been sick for the last 3 or 4 months also.

I stole this photo from Debra Switzer on Facebook. It's 94° right now and it feels like 103°.

I always thought that unicorn's were real...

2010-07-14T11:35:00.005-05:00

I thought that fairy were real too. So, here is some proof:

I stole this little funny from someone on Facebook. I would love to give them credit for it but I don't remember who is was.

Have a wonderful day!

It's That Time Again...

2010-07-03T23:22:00.002-05:00

And by that I mean that Dexter is almost ready to start again. I like it because it puts all of the past seasons on TV. If you haven't ever seen them then you can watch them from the start. If you have seen them you can refresh your memory.

I Figured Out What's Been Wrong With Me The Past Few Days...

2010-06-29T04:21:00.000-05:00

I fell asleep about 6pm on Friday and I woke up for a minute on Saturday. I was so tired, after sleeping for about another 12 hours, I couldn't tell if it were morning or evening. I woke up again about 12 hours later and I again couldn't tell if it was morning or evening.

I finally woke up about 12 hours later. It wasn't until Monday evening that I figured out that instead of taking my anti-reflux and my panic attack medication. I took my anti-reflux and my heavy-duty anti-depression medication. Then at bedtime I took another of the heavy-duty anti-depression pills.

So, I had skipped the panic-attack pill and took 2 of the anti-depression pills.
I slept about 48 hours. I would post this to my blog but my modem is missing up. I think I'm going to buy my own modem.

The high today was 95° and the low was 78°.

I Just Can't Get This Sleep Thing Fixed...

2010-06-26T03:57:00.000-05:00

I went back to the doctor again. I'm over there so much that I'm starting to feel like like I'm a member of their family. The good part is that this doctor can prescribe the hard drugs. He asked me if I had ever taken Ambien to help me sleep. I told him no that I hadn't taken it before but it should be alright because I was already addicted to morphine. He just laughed and said that I had a point.

The hight today was 98°and the low was 69°.

Doing A Little Better...

2010-06-17T23:51:00.000-05:00

I'm still getting just so tired from the new medication but it is working. I just too tired to do anything.

I know that I haven't been posting lately and it's because of the side effects. I am going to start doing better.

I have always said that I don't dream but I've read that everyone dreams you just don't always remember it.

My SqueakyMan isn't having nightmares any longer. I don't know what scared him so badly when he ran away but something did. For the first few nights he would cry in his sleep but that went away.

Tired now going to try and get some rest now.

The high temp today was 94° and the low temp was 75°.

Might Be Getting Back To Normal...

2010-06-10T22:03:00.001-05:00

I must be starting to feel a little better because I haven't fallen asleep yet today.

I have been trying to work on my bead store for the past couple of weeks. I have over 400 items in my shop and it takes some time to keep up with all of it.

My sweet kitty cat "SqueakyMan" is enjoying his life since he came home from running away last week.

Time to get back to work on my bead shop...

It's Been Such A Long Long Time...

2010-06-08T03:13:00.000-05:00

Trying to get used to this medication for my panic attacks or episodes is just about to kill me. I went to the doctor last week and we cut the dosage of the medication in half and I started taking it at bedtime. I can't stay awake. Any time that I'm quite for 5 or so minutes I fall right asleep. The doctor thinks that it might be a combo of the new medication and the morphine. I hope that we get this under control soon.

SqueakyMan, my most wonderful cat in the world ran away one day last week. He did come home praise God. He was one tired, dirty and hungry kitty when he came home.

Well, guess who's falling asleep? Me that's who!

He's Back...

2010-06-03T02:25:00.001-05:00

My kitty came home at 4am this morning. He was so dirty and hungry. Thank you Jesus!

I've Lost My Cat...

2010-06-01T20:17:00.000-05:00

Last night at about 3am "Squeaker" decided that he needed to go outside. I don't know if he went out to chase bugs or birds or if he just needed to go.

When I was ready to go to sleep about 5am and "Squeaker" wasn't in the house I started looking for him. He must have chased something out of the backyard. The only times that he has ever gotten out of the yard was when he chased another animal out of the yard.

Anyway I haven't slept all day or night and I'm so exhausted. I am going to make some reward flyers tonight and then take them to the library and get a bunch of copies made. I'm going to offer a $100.00 reward.

Please, say a prayer that "the Squeaker" comes home tonight and that he's fine.

Still Tired...

2010-05-30T00:48:00.004-05:00

I am for sure going to the doctor this week. The medication is working on the panic attacks really well but I can't stay awake.

I will be working on a puzzle or my laptop while laying in bed watchng TV and I will just fall asleep. When I do fall asleep my clip slips out of my hand and hits me in the head and wakes me up. This has happen lots of times too!

SqueakyMan is still sleeping in his shoebox. The box is getting worn out. I took four pieces of foam board and a roll of packing tape and re-enforced the whole box. He was asleep in the box a few days ago and he was so cute that I decided to take his photo. I took my little stuffed cat that looks like Squeaky and set it beside the box. When he woke up and saw the other cat well take a look at his reaction...

I love that kitty!

I Stole This One From My Friend Mary Jo....

2010-05-25T23:01:00.002-05:00

I Think That I'm Going To Live...

2010-05-24T22:45:00.000-05:00

I cut down my medication that was making me drunk to half a pill instead of a whole one. I am slowly, make that very slowly, getting used to it. I'm not having anymore of the episodes/panic attacks which is wonderful. I will made it back to the doctor this week I need to get all of my medications levels right.

Here is a NEWS FLASH....I have finished cutting my cat SqueakyMan's fur off. I stated cutting off all of his fur that I could with a pair of scissors. He is scared of anything that makes a noise so I can't use electric clippers. I gave him a lion cut like he had last year. That's the cut that I gave him again this years. I will to through my photos and try to find one from last year. Last years photos were cute.

OK, getting sleepy now, I think that I will take a nap.

I'm Alive...

2010-05-17T01:10:00.000-05:00

I think that I might be getting better. Since I couldn't get into see the doctor on Thursday or Friday I decided to lower the dosage of the new medication. It was helping with my attacks but it made me feel so drunk and I couldn't sleep.

I have a lot of stuff to do in my bead shop. The drunk feeling made it impossible for me to list anything in my shop. I'm dyslectic too so it was very funny. I don't know how many times I fell asleep setting up with my laptop.

I'm going to try again tomorrow to go back to the doctor's office but for now I'm going to try to go to bed.

Same Old, Same Old...

2010-05-11T01:56:00.000-05:00

I'm still exhausted from the new medication. I still makes me feel drunk.

I'm hoping that I will feel better by this weekend. It could happen!

Well, I Thought That It Was A Good Idea...

2010-05-05T22:40:00.000-05:00

I'm still not used to the new medication that the doctor has me on for panic attacks. One of the side effects is that, until I'm used to it, I can't sleep. I couldn't sleep this morning so at 8:30am I decided to go ahead and take my package to the Post Office and mail it. It had to be mailed today and I usually go after I wake up about in the afternoon. I thought that if I took it this morning I wouldn't have to wake up this afternoon and rush to get it mailed.

After the Post Office I decided to go to Super Walmart in Southaven but they didn't have what I needed. I then went to Dollar Tree to see if they had any of the pencils that I like to use to do my "Cross Sums" (or "Kakuro" which is what Asian people call this type of puzzles). They didn't have any either.

I came home and it was about 9am when I went back to sleep. At about 11am I hear bang, bang, bang. I had forgotten that a friend of Michael's from work was going to replace the back door and the cat door. He did not get finished today so he is coming back next week.

Alex and I rigged up a cat door by taking the screen off the window, opening it about 8" so that the cats can go inside or outside. Then we taped dish towels over the open window so bugs can't get in.

Anyway...I'm going to try to go to sleep I'm so tired.

2010-05-04T22:40:00.000-05:00

Tomorrow is a week since I've been on the medication for my panic attacks. It still has me feeling so tired. All I do is toss and turn all night (well, all of my night).

I'm going to try to take a nap now. I will let you know how it goes.

Cat Herder...

2010-05-02T22:17:00.001-05:00

The back gate came open. Michael had someone come over and replaced the door to the storeroom/shed. It had some rotten wood that really needed to be replaced. The back gate has never closed right but we just tied a string on it. The repair man didn't realize that he had broken the string.

As you can tell by the title of this post the gate came open and both cats got out. This was about 9:30pm so it was dark outside. I just happened to notice when I went to the kitchen that Squeaky wasn't inside. I opened the back door and when I was looking in the backyard I saw that the gate was open and both cats were gone. I went out front and called them and Squeaky came around the side of the house and Michael picked him up and took him inside.

We all got flashlights and cat treat bags and I went one way down the street and Michael and Alex went the other. Just as I was getting back to the house they found Annabelle.

I found some wire that we wrapped around the gate and tomorrow we are going to fix it right.
All of this when I'm still sick from the medication. Happy, happy, joy, joy!

It's A Mystery...

2010-04-30T02:02:00.000-05:00

When I woke up today I checked the mail because I was expecting a bead order. Our mail runs about 8:30am. The mailbox was empty. Michael came in from the backyard and I asked him if he had checked the mail. He told yes and pointed at an envelope on the counter. This was obviously not my bead order.

Oh, well it will be here tomorrow or so I thought. My brother called me and he needed me to mail something to him. It was about 8:30pm when I took the letter to the mailbox. Yes, you know what's coming....when I opened the mailbox there was the box with my bead order and another letter.

I was just happy that they came in because some of those I had already sold.

Happy, happy, joy, joy!
　

I Hate This Feeling...

2010-04-29T17:04:00.000-05:00

One of the medications that the doctor gave me was something that I'm to take everyday. It has to build up in your body before you get the full effect. I hate this because until I'm used to it I feel so drunk. The room is spinning, I can't keep my eyes open. I have to hold on to the wall just to make it to the kitchen or bathroom.

I think that I'm going to take a nap now...

Let There Be Drugs...

2010-04-27T18:20:00.000-05:00

I did make it to Dr. Z's office this afternoon. I had a nice long talk with the nurse practitioner. That's one thing that I really like about going to his office is that they take their time talking with you.

I got three prescriptions while I was there. The first one was an antibiotic for my sinus infection. Next I was given a medication that you take everyday for panic attacks. It takes a few days for it to build up in your system. Lastly I got a prescription for something to take when the panic attack starts. If the daily medication works then I shouldn't have to take the other one for long.

I'm so tired. I did get a good days sleep yesterday but I tossed and turned all day today. The doctor did say that the medication would make me sleepy I sure hope that it does.

It's one of those days where I really don't' have anything that I have to do and I'm glad of it.

I Finally Slept...

2010-04-27T00:46:00.002-05:00

I had set my alarm to go off at 3:30 because I had a couple of packages that just had to go to the Post Office today. I haven't been sleeping well for a while now so when I set the alarm it was kind of wishful thinking. It was a good thing that I did set the clock because I would have over-slept and wouldn't have made it to the Post Office before it closed.

It did find out something interesting. The Post Office in Southaven about 4 miles from here is open until 5:30pm. That's a whole hour later that I could have slept.

Chrissy sent me an email with funny dog pictures in it. I don't like dogs and I almost didn't open it but I found one photo that I got a kick out of...
　
I know that you have heard this one before but I just love it!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, totally worn out and screaming 'WOOO HOOOOO what a ride!'

The Living Room Looks Nice...

2010-04-26T01:09:00.003-05:00

Michael and Alex had been talking about painting the living room for a while now.

They painted the kitchen a few months ago and it looks very nice. They painted it a purple color that I call eggplant. The stove has a black glass top and the rest is stainless steel. A couple of days ago he went and bought a black and silver microwave and toaster. He also bought a silver canister set and silver hinges and handles for all of the kitchen cabinets.

When I woke up today they had already been to Lowe's. They bought a pretty chocolate color paint for the living room. They did good; they got the whole living room painted. Here are some during and after the paint job.

It looks so nice all they need now is curtains and some artwork.

Just getting started...

Wiping down the walls...

Here's the new color...

Alex does the edges...

Finished...

We Were Lucky...

2010-04-25T05:02:00.000-05:00

All of the really bad weather went just to the south of us. They had tornados all across Mississippi.

I know that the weather did get kinda bad because SqueakyMan hid under my bed for a while today.

I'm still not sleeping well and I'm still having anomaly almost everyday. I going to call Dr. C (pump doctor) and get an appointment to talk with him to see if it's the morphine doing this. I also going to go see Dr. Z (primary care doctor) you don't need an appointment to see him.

I'm going to find out what is causing this. I'm exhausted from not being able to get a good nights sleep.

We Are Supposed To Have Bad Weather...

2010-04-23T21:26:00.000-05:00

Yesterday they were saying that we would have bad weather this afternoon, tonight and all day tomorrow. So far, we have had some light rain.

Right now we are under the following watches or warnings:

1. Tornado Watch
2. Flash Flood Watch
3. Special Weather Statement
4. Wind Advisory

Just to be on the safe side, so that our power doesn't go out, I lit some candles and I have a flashlight on my bedside table.

Other than that nothing much going on, a quite day.

Anomaly...

2010-04-21T19:12:00.002-05:00

1. an odd, peculiar, or strange condition, situation, quality, etc.
2. an incongruity or inconsistency

This is what I am calling my episodes or panic attacks or whatever the heck they are. I kind of like the word anomaly.

I decided to write about it today because I had another anomaly a couple of hours ago. It wasn't too bad and it went away pretty quickly. I keep telling myself over and over while they are happening that "I'm not going to die" "it's just an anomaly it will go away".

They don't happen everyday but they do happen about a few times a week. I really need to find out what is causing this.

I need to run to Walmart and pick up Michael a birthday gift card and get and an anniversary card for Stephen and Chrissy. Maybe some more goldfish crackers.

I'm Bored...

2010-04-20T21:00:00.000-05:00

I'm having one of those spells where everyday seems just like the day before. I know that I shouldn't complain because instead of a boring spell I could be going through a rough one.

I made it to the Post Office to mail out a package of beads. Next I went to the Dollar Tree store to get some bubble wrap which they were out of. Last stop Walmart Grocery for human and cat food.

I am now just laying here watching TV and working on my bead shop.

See, I told you I was bored.

A Very Quite Week..

2010-04-20T00:05:00.000-05:00

It been kind of odd this week. The week seemed to fly by but I really didn't do anything. I need to make an appointment with the sinus doctor because this sinus infection is really wearing me out. I'm just so tired all the time.

I make one of two trips to the post office and a couple of stops at the grocery store and that was it for the week.

I did get more of SqueakyMan's fur cut off but we have a ways to go before it's done.

Starburst Jelly Beans have officially gone back to where they come from at Easter time. I was very good during Lent. I gave up Skittles for Lent and I didn't cheat even once. I did have Starburst Jelly Beans the week before Easter. I bought a bag of Skittles one day this week and guess what I don't love them anymore. I like them but they are just ok nothing special. I wonder what my next craving will be.

It's midnight and my cat is asleep in the shoe box on my bed. I was worried what I would do when the shoe box fell apart. Alex gave me one of her shoe boxes. She has tiny little feet where my family all have big feet. I can't wait to see how Squeaky manages to fit in the smaller box.

Better Watch Out...

2010-04-18T19:39:00.001-05:00

My SqueakyMan is still sleeping in the shoe box. The shoe box must be kept on my bed at all times or he cries until I put it back on the bed.

Yesterday while he was sleeping in the box I grabbed my camera and the little stuffed kitten that looks just like him.

I don't think that he likes to share his shoe box with anyone else. He looks really mad but actually he was just starting to yawn when the camera shutter clicked.

As for my it's same old, same old. I only had two of the panic attacks/episodes last week so that was pretty good. I'm still very tired but I can handle that...by taking a nap...now!

Oh No...

2010-04-13T20:03:00.000-05:00

I think that I am coming down with a cold or the flu. I started feeling not so good yesterday.

So, if you don't hear anything from me for a few days it's because I'm sick.

There's A Cat In A Box On My Bed...

2010-04-13T17:19:00.003-05:00

Sunday I worked on packing up my winter clothes for Michael to put into the attic for me. I found an empty shoe box that I didn't need so I just tossed it on the bed.

I noticed a little while later that "SqueakyMan" was asleep in the shoe box. The problem with this is that the shoe box is a size medium and my cat is a size extra large.

He has been sleeping either in the shoe box on the bed or on the shelf in my entertainment center. Right now he's sleeping in the shoe box.

"Bead Kitty"...

2010-04-12T01:49:00.003-05:00

I worked putting beads up for sale in my bead store today. My little mascot for my store is the "Bead Kitty". I use him on facebook and on my bead blog.

That's all that went on today.

That's all folks...

La, La, La, La, La.....

2010-04-10T05:48:00.000-05:00

That just about sums up my life right now. Spring is here and the trees are getting leaves. The grass in turning green again.

Michael and Stephen bought a new lawn mower. This one is wider and self propelled. Stephen lives about 10min from here. He has a storeroom big enough for all of the yard tools.

I'm just tired all the time right now and I don't know what is wrong. I going to make an appointment with the sinus doctor because I know that I have a sinus infection. I hoping that getting rid of that will help.

Anyway, nothing much is going on in my life. Stay tuned maybe something will happen!
