May Almost Gone!

Here it is, almost 11 am,, and it's 73*, and light rain, drizzle.  NOT 95-100*.

There's a lot going on this weekend, including blue grass music all day today on the square.  I just drove over there and not one parking place anywhere close enough to hear... So, back home.  I sure can't walk all that way, then no where to sit.  There's a big motorcycle meet just outside town too, i'll drive by later.

Heck, i love sitting here with my back door open watching the little bit of rain dripping off the roof.

My blood sugar just keeps on getting higher every morning.  It was 184 today.  I have an appointment with my new doctor for Wed... so i'll find out what to do.  I'm not eating different, nothing else has changed either, sooo,,, who knows?

I'm reading a series of books by Nevada Barr, about a park ranger.  The one i'm on has just covered her helping fight a forest fire, then going thru a firestorm, using the "tent" thingy while the fire went over.  Wow.  Learn something new in almost every book i read.  I always wonder how the authors get all that research done to write about things.  I know in this tech age, it has to be lots easier.

My bro B is bar b qing later today.  A nephew and his family are here from Sherman.  Well,cousin.  lol.
I keep getting better with my hips, back, all the time.  I walk excellent now, it's the muscles in my back that gives me problems now.  Not the joints.  That's why i still can't stay on my feet very long.  BUT,,, no pain walking!

Did yall know that you can't buy a hamburger at Sonics any more?  What you buy now, is a cheeseburger, cut the cheese for a hamburger!!  And of course, you're charged 3.79, and don't get a discount for cutting cheese.  Have any of you ever heard of such a thing?,,,

Well, that's it, folks,, tc, and

Hate Google!

Did you know you can't get rid of Outlook.com,,, nor Gmail?  I've spent hours and days trying to do this,,,, NO WAY... I took googlechrome off today, had to put it back for some of the things i use.  Like, blogger,, coundn't even do a post without it.  I even spent a couple of hours on the phone with Verizon,,, and it didn't help at all.  Even they can't seem to do it.  I keep getting a pop up message saying my Verizon account is almost full, need to add an extra account,, HA, can't do it.  AND,,, WTH happened to OutlookExpress?  Who knows,, it's just gone.

I have watched that darn cat video so many times,,, and LMAO every time!!  I know you've seen it,,, it's been everywhere... My Mom had a cat just like it,,, she could just see a dog, dogs, going down the street, minding their own business, and here she went,,,catching those poor dogs by surprise, making them yelp and run... no matter what size.  And o Lord, help those that dared come into the yard.... hahahaha.  Go to this on Youtube,,, if you are the only one that hasn't seen it,,, hahahahaha.
Heroic Cat Saves Kid from A Vicious Dog Attack!.

O yeah, we got 3" of rain,, total.   Was fantastic!  Bring it back!

My doc is leaving!!  Horrible!  I went yesterday for a final visit,, good thing, today is her last day.  Since my calcium was up higher on the 2nd test, she had a parathyroid done.  I had a bad charlie horse in my calf days ago, and it's still not quite gone.  She also froze off a little, kinda scaly spot on my face, thinks it's ok.  She recommended another female doc... too.

Just saw that cat vid again!! hahahaha,, the news channels love it too.

My first X, with the car lot, said he needed some curtains, and the next day i remembered i had some like he needed.  Wide narrow windows.  So i dug them out, still had em from my last house,,,lol.  Took them to him and also told him i would cut off and re-hem new ones, if these didn't work.  He checked my car ac, said it was low, and some time he'll put in some freon.  Now, isn't that worth the exchange?  lol.

This one news channel has shown that cat vid,,, 3 times now,, in just the one hour.... hahahahah,,

Gosh, the Voice, and Idol,, both ending next week.  Hope there's something coming on in their place,  i know So You Think You Can Dance will be.  I've always loved music, and dancing.

Been a While

I don't know how i ever did a blog daily.  Even now, it seems there's nothing to say.

I left the house yesterday to get milk,,, got distracted i guess, and soooo,,, this morning i didn't have milk for breakfast.

I've pretty much been staying in out of the heat.  Where i used to get out and go to the park, or somewhere, now,, too hot.

The last 2 mornings, i've gotten up with fire ants on my kitchen counter, and had to spray, clean, and hope they didn't come back...   Well today i used another product, supposed to leave a guard to keep them out.  We'll see.  I looked outside and can't see where they're coming from.  LOLOLOL,,, they're not as bad as the maggots i found one time... hahahaha,,, got out of bed, went to the kitchen for my first cup of coffee, and just stared.  Right there on my counter was this HUGE mountain of maggots!!!,  Squirming around!  I just looked, got my coffee and left.  During that first cup, i was thinking about those darn things, so when i went back,,, i did look up above on the upper cabinets, and there was the source... wood ants,, dropping their larvae down!!!  Done it all night i guess.  There was a smaller pile on the other side of the sink.  I scraped all of em off, and threw them out..  No more ants!

Got this big vase of flowers yesterday,,, from my dotter, for Mother's Day.   So pretty.  Still hoping we get together tomorrow, tho.  Haven't heard nothing.

With all the rain in TEXAS yesterday,,, not a drop here!  Just kept going around.  Don't know whether i believe we'll get some or not,,, Mon-Tues.  Said 3-4"  HA.

O yeah,,, all my scanners have just become obsolete.  They've switched to digital, and i've been researching,,,  The one i think i want is called Homepatrol.  Says you enter your zip code, and it sets itself.  Gonna call Mon and talk to them with some questions.  A man here, told me there were 2 different ones, and you had to get the right digital one.  What i was seeing didn't say anything like that.  I have 4 operating now,,,lol, 3 gotten at garage sales,, but with the price of these new ones,, i'll have to make do with one.  Just over 400.00.

Ok, back to my chicken salad making.  O,, have yall ever burned eggs boiling them?  I KNOW better than to cook without my timer!
