Mini Post Today

My son called about 11 am and just had talked to his doc.  She told him it was a bacteria causing all this, and was prescribing 3 meds, and would call Walmart.  I told him i needed to go, so i would pick them up.  Got there about noon, went straight to the pharmacy to tell them i was there to get them, and OMG,,she told me they didn't have this, (was a 3 in 1) and if she found it elsewhere in town it would cost 489.00!!!  But,, if it could be the 3 not combined, and generic, it would lower the price a lot!  I told her YES, and she called the doc, got the ok, and i went on about my business there.

 Got thru, went back over there to pick them up, and,,,,they weren't ready.  The one lady i had talked to, went to lunch, so nothing was done.  I had to wait til they got them ready, which took about 30 minutes.  The 3 cost 280.00,  i got them, grabbed a quick lunch,  TexMex, yall, and headed back.  Took the meds straight to him and he started them right then.  The doc had told him ASAP.  14 days worth.  Be SURE and take like ordered.  He was in bed, has had no sleep, pain in lower stomach.  These 3 meds will be 99.9% effective if taken like they're supposed to be, otherwise , would have to start over.  The potato soup i've been making him is about all he's been eating.  It just sits on a bad stomach, good, and he has some left.

So, that's the update, and i think by even in the morning, he should be better.  Gosh, they're leaving in the wee hours Fri morning.  So, yall tc, and i really appreciate all of the concern, and i will still keep you updated.

Weather?,,What Weather?

Watching the weather, we're not gonna get anything, typical.  My man is here mowing, gosh, those weeds grow fast.  I put the round up on some of them yesterday.  These showed up here a few years ago, and bloom out, have burrs that dry out and then,,if you step on them you will end up with your house full of them.  You just can't scrape them off your shoes.  Horrible things.  And they are everywhere, not just in my yard.  With all the traffic at my bro Bs house it was full of them.  I told him the only thing i could think of was weed and feed, and it worked pretty good.

Got my bill for car insurance, and i pay it in 2 payments of 179.50.  That's just what i have to have to get by with.  Liability and comp only.  That's for a year.  That and my house insurance are the 2 most expensive things i have.  No mortgages, just regular living expenses.  Gonna check when it comes due later, because i sure don't put many miles on it.  I think there's a new discount for that now.

Pics of the weeds i'm talking about.  Barely got them before they were mowed down.
Weren't any doodle bugs yet.

Jojo was talking about coyotes there in town.  They are, here, too.  My son rode his bicycle around during the late nite hours, and would see them.  What i really miss, tho, are the armadillos.  Back in the 80s, someone came to town and offered 50 cents each for them.  I guess that just about wiped them out around here.  My son told everybody, he'd better not hear of anybody killing them for that!  I blame the fire ants for the loss of the cottontails.  Then, there's a LOT of stuff gone out of the river.  Like, mussel shells, crayfish.  Used to find the tiny mussel trails in the sand,  and you could find them that way.  No more, not there.  Like, doodle bugs,,lololol,,,still have those, they EAT ants.  We, as kids, used to have contests, to see who could find the smallest ones.  Used a straw or piece of grass to make them move.  I was in my 30s before i knew they turned into a dragon fly like thing.  And that grub worms turned into June bugs.

I will update later, after my son sees the doc.  He hasn't thrown up any more blood, because he wouldn't let himself do it, but it shows up in urine and stools.  He called earlier, said he hadn't slept but a couple of hours in 2 nites, was going to nap til the appointment.

Made myself some chicken salad this morning, and just had a sandwich, with a few frozen fries i baked.  Trying to unload my freezer, and it's getting on down now.

UPDATE

He was gonna whip their asses, if they killed armadillos.  He came by after doc's visit, had 2 different medications, and 2 more prescriptions to fill.  Took all kinds of blood tests and will know tomorrow about an ulcer.  I didn't know they could do that with a blood test.  She's treating it as one.

More More More

 

This is a big creek with a slab, just west of town in a development, that still has water.

And,,a century plant.

I don’t know what these blue flowers are, but so pretty.

For DD, pics of paint brush, mixed in with the bluebonnets.

I kept seeing this, there’s some across the street from me here in town too, and it looks like someone had just splashed paint out.  It is dead grasses blown over, but, unusual.

And,,, the new community center, with the inside arena.  Has to be ready by the time of the crawfish open, and I’m not sure of the date, but think it is the 20th-21.  I would think it needed 24-7 to do that.

My son called me about 6 pm, because he had just thrown up quite a bit of fresh blood.  I told him if it happened again to go to the emergency room!!!  It didn’t, but I worried all night, called him later, and then this morning.  The shots he has to take for his back, causes this nausea almost every time, but not the bleeding.  Almost has to be an ulcer, and I told him to get to a doc TODAY.  They are planning on going to CA THURS!!!  I will update later. 

Otherwise,,nothing going on…yall tc, and

Fishing Time

 

Almost could feel the burn one of those kids was gonna get.  Didn’t take em long to get that thing in the water and off they went upriver. 

The camping lady is still out there, lol, among all those jeep people.  But they were mostly gone yesterday.  She said she had found a job at the 7-11 here.  Hope she can get outa that place before the crawfish open comes up in about 3 weeks.  Biggest event here.  There’s a huge team roping competition, golf tourny, and tons of crawfish.  Goes on for 2 days.  I didn’t even go out there last year.  They had fenced off the park so that you couldn’t even park to listen to the zydeco music,,which was the only reason I went in the first place.  They bring in one really good band for that.  And of course,,country too, but,,,I leave.  Maybe with that new arena built across the hiway, maybe the crowd won’t be so bad.   There’s a huge washer tourny too, but I think B has quit running that, and playing too.,  He and a partner used to win those all the time.   Read my post of 3-17-11 about one of his games,,,lolololol.

And yeah, I know it’s April Fools day.  Don’t pay any attention to that any more.  Just change my calendar,,,lol DD,,,NOW, it’s a new month…..

I’m getting outa here for a while,,,bbl, so yall tc, and

Fishing Time of Year

Still no phone, so i DID call verizon this morning, and told by 4-3!!  Called that man twice yesterday, and still didn't get a response so maybe it was a bad medical problem. Could have been tied to that funeral thing,,,since he never called back and it was all happening at the same time.  I guess it's no big deal, i do have the cell, and everybody i know has the number.  When i call my number it just rings and rings.

BB sure has a good place to fish down there.  What more could you ask for?  lol.  This is the time of year my Dad always was calling saying,,"let's go fishing".  With our river here, that's something i''ve done since i was 6.  I remember going with my grandmother and her making that dough bait, catching carp.  Yuk.  Had to bait my own hook too, and take fish off.   Had to have been perch. lol.   I was also the one that got the "honor" of untangling backlashs.  I'm seeing people at the park fishing, but not catching anything.  That girl was the only one with that one fish.

Gosh, another month gone.  I just can't believe how fast the time goes now.  I turn around and,,it's another month.  And i'm not busy.  You would think it would drag,,or i always did.

Got my waffles cooking,,breakfast time,,yall tc, and

Still No Phone!

I called and left a message earlier to the repairman, but,,no call back.  With him telling me he had a medical emergency yesterday, i don't know if he's even working or not.   My son told me yesterday they had had the same problem, no phone, but internet, for 2 days at their business location.  So,,

I always wait til afternoon to get out and do errands, and i told him that on my message.  Gotta go back to the place that cut my hair and get one spot cut a little more.  Doing that at 2;15.

There's a huge jeep rally going on here, this weekend.  The park is full, town is full, they're everywhere.  Doubt if i can get into the park at all today, or all weekend.   Where i was parked there yesterday, this big truck showed up, pulling one.  They just parked on the side of the little road going thru, and unloaded, set up tents.  There were 2 little boys with an older one, and i guess, the dad.  When i left, i gave them the old bread i had, told them how much the geese loved it... Hope they show up for them.  I haven't seen them for a couple of weeks, except for 4, about a week ago.  They're somewhere tho.  Maybe the females are setting,,would love to see new ones.  Years ago, i saw them with some.

There was a funeral yesterday out in a country cemetery,,now you're wondering why i'm telling you this, aren't you?  Welll,,,during the burial a man started having a heart attack and they had to call the ambulance for him.  Hope it wasn't the husband.  I have never heard of this happening before, have you?  I went to school with both of them.  She was at our class reunion 2 years ago, and i didn't think she would make it another month,  but she did.  He's a year or 2 older than me, even tho he was a classmate.

I got to start school at 5, in that little country place we lived, and i had just turned 6 when we moved here.  The teacher decided not to say anything because i was doing good, sooo,,i was a year younger than my classmates.  There was one other boy, like me.

Ok,,outa nothing to say, so yall tc, and

HAGD

Forgot,,,

Forgot i didn't do a post this morning.  None of my house phones are working so i've been fooling with that, and got to a place,,who knows?,,I've got internet, and i've switched, unplugged, skipped,,changed those line filters, done  everything i could think of, and still, no phones.  On either of the 2 lines.  How can i have internet?  Could that lightening and rain shorted out BOTH phones?   I dug out a real old one, not portable, and it's not working either, even outside in the box on the house.  But,,who knows if it would work anywhere?  lolol  Got a dilemma here.  A repairman was supposed to come by, but i just talked to him, and he doesn't think he'll make it today, sooo,,i told him to call my cell if he could.

Ok, sorry about not posting more today, but i gotta get outa here and do some things.
So, yall tc, and
