Hump Day,,and it's the 13th

Guess DDs the only one to use that link i put on yesterday's post.  Over the years, when i gave a gift for a birthday, i would make a copy of that day in history and give it too.  Everybody loved it, and you would hear all the oo wow,,gas was,,, bread was,,,, i didn't know that.  lololol.

 One time, when g/dotter was a teen, i was giving her jewelry in the box, so i wrapped it in money... lololol.  Different bill denominations,,, She took forever to unwrap it,,,lololol.

I haven't heard from J yet, on our trip tomorrow, to San Antonio.  He was gonna call the doc and see if there was anything he had to do,,OMG,,the phone just rang and it was him,,,how's that for timing?  And there's nothing he needs to do, but be there.  His gf is going too, which i'm so glad. 

Woke up this morning just before 8 and it was really dark.  Had a little thunderstorm move over, and cooled it off so good i haven't turned on the ACs yet.  Looks like about a 1/4" rain in my gauge.   Guess i'll need some more 20s,,to get mowing done,,lololol.  I think he mowed 3 times last year, the whole year.

Guess you can see, i don't have anything to talk about.  Just saw one of those MRI tubes on TV, and don't remember if i told you about there being a chair you can sit in now, to get them done.  I had told them at the doc's,,,i wasn't gonna get in one of those any more.  I had my teeth bleached,,ONCE,, and it took like,,an hour to pack my mouth with gauze (not kidding),,then she would put the stuff on, had to sit 15 minutes with your mouth propped wide open, then clean it off, do it again,,,3 times!!!  By the time that 3rd one was done, i was just about to start screaming,,  Those 15 minutes crawl by.  Wasn't worth it, didn't last.  Mine were stained with the usual, smoking, coffee, tea.  You have to do upkeep and i did til i ran out of that stuff.  Hated doing that too. 

Enough nonsense,,,so yall tc, and

Yeaaaaaa,,,Haircut Today

This site can take you back in time to 1920.  DD was doing it on his blog today, and i've always loved to look back, too.  Scroll down the page til you  see the different years to go to.

This is one i've used a lot to give to someone on their birthdays.  Their special day in history.  They always love it.

I called around earlier, and when a shop wouldn't even answer their phone, let a machine do it, i hung up.  I finally found one and have a 2:30 appointment.  It was brought up in my last post about cutting my own hair.  I've done that for years using a razor comb, but,, this style i'm wearing now has to be done with clippers,,,short on sides and back, not quite a mohawk, but close,,,lolololol. 

When all my kids got in school, i just almost went to barber school.  It would have been a drive to Austin for about 9 months, but with one or two more sharing rides, wouldn't have been bad.  I had cut hair from the time my dotter was about 2, doing the boys and hubby later, too.  I had been to the school there, got everything arranged,,UNTIL i found out i would have to work under another barber for TWO years!!!  NO WAY!  By then, i was the only one here doing the longer cuts on boys, and just no way would i work under a barber here.  I told the younger one, he sure needed to learn to do those, and he did.  Heck, i was doing em for free!  Quit that when they got to demanding them when THEY wanted, not when i could do em.  Beauty school was out, didn't like all the other stuff like perms, etc.

I won the contest with DD yesterday,,,i  WANT TO LOSE THIS ONE!  I got hotter here than he did there.  Now, would you want to win that one? 

Gosh i hate to turn my desktop on, and have to when i need copies.  I know, i need a wireless printer, but sheesh, just do copies every once in a while.  When i turn it on, there's always updates to be done, and i don't know why, but i still do them.  That room is too hot, and too cold.  Besides, my laptop is faster.  Maybe it's thru updating now, and i can turn it back off. 

Anyway, yall tc, and

Bring Em On,,,

Made it thru the Hatfields and McCoys,, was great!  TY DD for telling about them or i wouldn't have known.  I, like everybody else, can highly reccomend them.  I looked at tonite, and ,,nothing.  Good thing i recorded 3 more yesterday.

I didn't get out yesterday except to go to Taco Bell and pick up a couple of tacos, nachos,,for supper.  Nothing appealing to me about getting out in a 100+ temps.  Gonna be worse today.  I'm reading a good book,,The Help,, got movies.  Even my heart doc, i always carry a book with me, saw it and said he'd seen the movie.  Has to be hilarious. 

Gosh, i need a haircut.  That 20.00 for this,,,20 for that, is 20ing me to death.  I do a lot of trimming myself, but,,,gets to the point i have to have help.  Even tho i just want half a cut, it still costs the whole amount.  Not sure anyone works on Mondays around here either.  Never wore my hair long after Mom finally! let me cut it when i was 12.  Hated it.  SHE couldn't grow long hair so she made ME...make any sense?  She never forced my sisters.  Even tho my dotter had this blond curly hair, i whacked it off because of her screaming every time i had to wash it.  Told her when she could do her own, she could have it long. 

She and one of my sisters,, got to be about old enough to want their ears pierced,,kept on all the time about it.  SOOOO, one day, just to shut em up,,i told em to sit down, and i'd do it.  OMG!! They did!!!,,,I HAD TO DO IT.  I did it like mine were done,,,put a clothes pin on them,,for a while,,put a cork behind, thread a needle, dip in alcohol, and using a thimble, push that needle thru into the cork,,pull it out,,,tie the thread.  I was shaking like a leaf,,,lololol,,and they weren't,,didn't feel a thang.  I even got them straight, and they healed right up in a few days, put the earrings in.  Learned my lesson,,keep my mouth shut,,never say things you didn't mean.

90* here, at 11AM,,, dog days,,here you come.  Yall tc, and

And,,,It's Another Sunday

Made it thru the 2nd Hatfield, McCoy movie,,reallllyyyy hard to stop.  With nothing on tv most of the time, i have lots of movies recorded now, to take up the nites of nothing on,,,  Today i'm doing 3 more, Lifetime,,lolololol,,i know you guys don't like em, but,,,i sure do.  Like the Hallmark ones too,,so there!!! hahahaha,,  But for tonite, that 3rd H&M one is on.  I have HBO, and Cinamax but,,most of those, almost all, i just don't like.

Haven't heard a word from SS, since i called and found out they both got jobs in Longview.  Know they're horribly busy, house hunting,,moving,,selling one.  They were gonna move personal stuff, til the house in Lake Worth sold.  Heck, she would never have a problem finding a teaching job anywhere, coming from that prestigious one she's been at.  And as for him,,named SE TX coach of the year his first year, in baseball, when he was at Hi Island, np either. 

If yall haven't read the blog of lotta joy,,you need to, and tell others to, too.  It's listed as one i follow as WITLESS RELOCATION PROGRAM.  I just finished the last one of her past, and i get chills thinking about it.  And tears. 

I can never thank God enough for my parents, and we did get our share of spankings,,The worst was when Mom told us to go get our own switch,,,and if it wasn't a good one then she would get one and it would be worse,,,Heck, we believed it,,never took a chance,,,hahahahaha. 

I still laugh about one time,,we didn't come up from the creek to eat supper, after we had been called several times,,,,and here come Dad,,we knew we were in trouble, but,,he forgot to duck going under a big pipe there by the bridge we were under, and while he was stumbling around almost knocked out,,we ran by fast as lightening,, He forgot what he had come for and we made our escape.....He rarely ever paddled us.  And he let me be me,,the biggest tom boy in town.  Mom kept wanting to girlie me up,,but no way.  I had 2 brothers, 3 neighbor boys to grow up with, had to hold my own,,ya know.  Was about 13 or 14 when i discovered boys were a different species,,not to be fought, beat in games,,,etc.

And i guess, back then, things like lotta joy writes about, were just kept secret in families.  I know families now, that have been that way, and it's lots better now than back then.  It's more watched for in schools, and the medical area.

I Don't Wanna Go,,,to the Vets

Still not over that trip, my feet are still kinda sore too.  Sooo, i'm still not doing much.

I heard about a possible rabid fox last nite, and just now, another one.  I got a card, reminding me to take Jude in for his update shots, even tho the rabies last 2 years and it's just been one.  When there's more around the vet reccommends every year.  It's the setting an appointment, then trying to have him around where i can get him into a carrier and go.  The best i've ever found, is an old nylon travel bag.  You put one in it, zip it, and then they're invisible...lol...  Easy to carry, too.  Guess i need to get it out and let it lay in here, for him to get used to.

I woke up before 7 today, and could NOT go back to sleep, so i got up about 7;30.  Already need a nap.  It was cool too.  Almost to the summer equinox and not bad.  Know it's coming tho....

Ok, that nap is yelling at me now,,so yall tc, and

HAGD

Hmm,,Thot I Lost This,,

I was so tired yesterday, that i kept thinking, gonna call and cancel my 2pm apt with my heart doc, but,,then would think,,nooo,,go and get it over with.  That's what i finally did.  I just drove over there, saw the doc and came home.  No walmart, no heb,,nothing else.  I was doing great, said come back in a year.  Yeaaaaaaaaaaa,,,glad i went on and did it.

I have the old dvd, vcr combo, and i've been looking at them after being told they don't make em any more.  Heck, i found plenty.  It was kinda confusing, tho, about tuner, plug onto cable thingy,,,and what they actually do.  I just want one to do what this old one does, IF it ever stops working.  And, i guess i need to look and see what else would do recording, etc.  My bro B has something that records bunches of movies, if you want, and stores them.  But it probably cost, too.  What i was looking at, was 100.  Now, that's my speed, lol.

I think i'll start that series, Hatfields and McCoys, tonite.  I have em all on one tape, can watch when i want.  I saw they were back on today, or at least 2 and 3, not sure where 1 was, on lifetime.  Everybody i've talked to, DD, has said the same as you,,really really good.  Starts right off with a bang.

I've been out of waffles, will get more today, but i've been eating a fried egg on toast, with cheese and bacon.  yummmm.

I clicked on publish,,and it wouldn't go,,,thot i had lost all of this.  Now it seems to be working right, which is saving the drafts.  That way, i can go back and find it in edit posts.  Part of it is gone, and i'm not sure i even remember what it was,,,lol.

Sooo, yall tc, and

HAGD

PS,, told em at the doc's,,that i wasn't gonna do any more of those stress tests, not getting back in that tube.  The nurse told me there is one in Fredericksburg now you can get it done sitting in a chair, don't have to lay on that tiny metal table for a long time, not moving.  I might consider that if it ever comes up again.

Long Day

Woke up to RAIN!!  I think i missed the heavier stuff, but it's still raining.

When i got up for the first time during the nite, i could hardly walk on my feet.  They were so sore from yesterday's traipsing in and out with J.  We got everything accomplished for his medicare and medicaid,,which was turning in the application for medicaid.  Both offices were in Georgetown, so no trip to Lampasas is needed.  AND, it's all done except the wait.  Medicare won't take over til 9-13, and there's no way to wait for the surgery.  30-45 days will have to be done to see about medicaid.  In the meantime, i take him to San Antonio next week to have serious injections put in, and they will put him to sleep to do this.  That will help him for a while on the pain.

The medicaid office there had the most friendly, decent people working there, i've ever seen.  We had filled out that huge app except for a couple of things.  We had the other things too, that had to go in with it, all except the medical expenses the last few months.  They made copies of everything, got it faxed in right then.  We will put off applying for that TCIP now, til we know about the medicaid.  This surgery could cost like,,250,000.  YEAH,,that's right.

That was just 2 of the stops,,lol,,,there were about 6 more.  That's what i meant about my feet.  Should have had other shoes on.  Was way too hot to wait in the car.  They are just about ok now, tho.  Good thing, i have to go to Marble Falls today, doc appointment at 2.  That's the ONLY thing i'm doing, too!  Well, might eat lunch.  There's a pretty good Mexican food place there.  Good prices on lunches.
