Still not much of anything going on. I think the 4th celebration is gonna be Sat, the 30th. Since i haven't bought the local paper in about 20 years, not sure. Businesses will still close on the 4th. There's an all day thing that goes on at the park here in town. The Little Miss Sparkle contest starts it off, and i think there's a kiddy parade too. Ends with a good band, street dance, and fireworks, if allowed.
It happened again,,,lololol... I get in the bathroom and my phone rings,, I've told everybody, if i don't answer, wait a minute and call back. lololol. It's weird, how it happens all the time. This time, was just a credit card co,,,left a message. I don't have anything extra on my home phone, like caller id, long distance, anything,,,just the basic. I have all that with the cell. So if someone doesn't leave a message, then i never know who called on that one.
I've lost 3 lbs...i went ahead and weighted this morning, cause if i hadn't lost, i was quitting. lololol. Too darned much cooking, cleaning up. The only vege i like is corn, and it's forbidden. Fruits have too much frucose (sugar) so they are out. I still have that huge bag of veges i can stir fry, make em almost palatible. Gotta figure out some other things to eat. Gonna add salads for sure. WITH dressing!!! I've made it thru 6 days, almost 7, so i can add a few more carbs. Try to stay with about 60-70. What it amounts to,,,IS,,no white, no sugars.
Not sure what i think about health care. We were forced to have car insurance, so what's the difference? It actually might help people like my son. I'm past the age for it to matter anyway.
Highs in the 90s for the next few days,,HA!!!,,according to the great weathermen. Yesterday WAS cooler tho. Keep your eye on my little weather thingy.
Just had to kill 1 or 2 flys yesterday,,maybe getting better. Still have no idea what caused it. Years ago, i bought some fly traps you hung outside. It was a lid they went into a gallon jar thru, and couldn't get out. To attract them you put something stinky in the jar,,like a fish, and hung it way away from you. Believe me,,,they worked!!! BUT,,,to clean out 1/2 gallon of dead flies, and stinky fish, was a horror. We had to dig a hole and bury that. This was out at the ranch and got worse when we were raising 2 pigs to eat. Even tho they were not close to the house. These are just the common ol house flys i'm being bothered with. Never had this many tho. Woulda helped to have lots of gallon jars...
I've been watching a live cam on ustream about the decorah eagles, but they have left the nest and looking into others today, i found one i LOVE. It's called pete's pond. In Afica. Has lots of wildlife show up to drink.

Long Time Coming
Had a lot going on this morning,,so not much here today.
Took little Jude to the Vet for his check up, rabies shot. He was wanting outside about an hour and a half before we left, couldn't let him go out. He was good, just a little howling,,He freezes up for the vet to handle him. He weighted in at a mite over 11 lbs. He was so quiet coming home, didn't make a sound til i told him we were almost there. I opened the carrier in the car and he looked a minute then hopped out. All done, til next year.
Just got home and G came by and stayed a couple of hours,,,always enjoy. Then i got in my chair and laid back and shut my eyes a bit. Just now got thru with a shower.
Got off my diet last nite. Had felt so bad yesterday, kinda sick at my stomach, and eating that meat, green beans for supper didn't help. (i think i'm allergic to green stuff,,). Soooo, about 8 i made 2 waffles and ate them,,yummmmm. Back to the diet today tho. My sugar read 243 this morning...after that. Why, i don't know. I ate those for breakfast every morning before. It's 97 now, just checked. Have never figured out what matters with this. In all the years,,5?, i've had it, one time,,it was over 300. I rushed to the doc,,pa actually, and nothing was done, just didn't eat for a while. That was the only time it ever did that. My sis N's can go up to over 500 some times,,now,,that IS scary. She does the shots, and stress is her problem. Hers is called brittle. Mine is just type 2.
OO mercy!,,,Nothing to write about, so yall tc, and

Lap Band, Diabetis,,,Yeah I Have Em
Lol,,was asked about those. I had lap band done about 3 years ago,,lost the whole first year because i had a stupid doc. and a leaking port. Had to change docs to find that out. Had to have it replaced. But, when it was finally set to the right place, i would burp up stuff or whatever during sleep, and get pneumonia. So i had it all unfilled,,can't do the pneumonia.
I have diabetis 2, hi blood pressure, and hi chloresterol. All because of my weight. I control it with pills. Like, this morning my sugar was 66, kinda low. Gotta watch that, maybe decrease one of my pills. My blood pressure stays way down, under the 120/70. and the chloresterol is about 150. BUT, i have to take all these darn pills to keep those doing good. HATE it. That's why i'm trying this protein diet. Been 4 days and i'm not sure if it's doing any good or not. Would hate to think it's not. It's NOT easy to avoid carbs and sugars.
Uh oh,,just had a fly go across my face!!! Thot i might have gotten all of em yesterday, but NO. Get the swatter and fly spray out AGAIN. It smells my chicken (leg 1/4s) i'm cooking in my convection oven. Doing it now before that triple digit heat gets here later. Austin set a new record of 109 yesterday. I saw 107 here when i got out,,,once.
Saw on RVSue, in the comments, someone was telling her that rattlesnakes came out for the heat..BS. In this kind of heat, they are in cool damp shady places. The only time they like heat is when they are leaving their dens and come just outside of it, to soak up the sun. My front flower bed is overgrown with the viney ground cover plant in it, so to get to the faucet, i will have to clear it out with a hoe,,,NOT gonna step in it first. Even beating around with something won't make them move. (Son told me that the other day). We're rattlesnake country here, and B and J are experts on snakes. So avoid cool damp shady places! That's where i found one a few years ago,,under the lantana where my AC drips.
Called about my jury summons and was told i didn't have to...Cause i'm 70. It reads,,,if you're over 70 you have the choice,,,didn't know if that meant 71 or not. She laughed about me and the diuretics,,,lol. All i have to do is drop the letter off there. It was municipal court, not criminal. LOLOLOL,,i had to ask what the difference was.
We went back under a burn ban a few days ago,,,don't know if there will be fireworks or not. They're shot off over the river so probably so. I can see them from my drive way if i want to sit outside, which i probably won't.
OMG ID had 22* yesterday, and KS had 115. Going to ID. Become a snowbird. How's the weather today, BB? Know what DD would say...hahahahaha,,,Go to the malls,,DD,,sit in one all day. Or,,swim in your swamp,,,kinda yukky thot.

Gosh, Don't Know Why I Keep Doing These
Don't know what's going on with this laptop. Froze up on me yesterday and just did it again. THEN, get all this update stuff from google, (not using that, using IE) and can't continue until i say ok. Had to sign in again too. Now, does this have anthing to do with the freezing up or not?
This extra low carb thing is hard to do! Seems almost everything has them. The green beans i ate had 4 in 1/2c. I think. Not gonna get the can out and look again. The stir fry ones have 7 per serving. I had to do this before the lap band surgery, and lost about 10 lbs in a couple of weeks. That was doing the strick count.
Austin is forecasting 107 today. Guess where i'm gonna be? lolol,,,Only thing i have to do is get the trash out later.
Do yall have more flies than usual? I sure do. I don't remember ever having this many. My sis said the same thing. I'm having trouble keeping them out of the house. Every day seems i'm chasing one. Just saw another one by the trash but don't know where it went.
I took all my filters out of the ACs and vacuumed them. They were clean back when i turned them on, but,, once a month is good. The one in this area i do more often. This,,being dining room, kitchen area.
I feel like i just don't have anything to say. I did get to see SSs new house in Longview. I LOVE it. It was built in 1940, so it has big rooms, yeaaaaaa. It's been remodeled and she said nothing needed doing to start with, unlike others they had looked at. 4-3, 2 living areas, large garage with upper storage. On an acre, with the back against 5 wooded ones. She mentioned building a pond, and i told her just let me know....I did mine. B helped me level the liner, but the rest i did myself. Even digging that big hole,,,,lololol. Wasted a year trying to find out how to build the waterfall, and one day i just got out there, and started stacking,,AND, it worked! Don't use it any more, the pump quit working, but i'm not able to do it now anyway. It's full with rain water, need some minnows in it.
My left foot is really giving me trouble on the bottom of the heel. Feels like a stone bruise, but not going away. I didn't do anything that i know of. It did start when i went with my son and his gf about a month ago, and did way more walking than normal, with just flops on. Got up one time this morning, and could NOT walk on it,,,had to wait a few minutes. Then limp along,,,lol.
I'm outa here, so yall tc, and

Hey, Mondays Don't Matter Any More,,,
Nothing new today, staying in and cool. Just got out and went to the store before it got hot,,ha,,hot now. Needed more eggs, tomatoes, and bread. The bread is 13 gr carbs per slice, so i limit myself to 2 a day.
Called bro G yesterday to tell em have a safe trip, and found out they were already up there!!!,,,He had told me they were leaving today, not Friday. Got a wild hair and went.. lol. I always hated to make plans, just get up and go. He's the one that wants to leave in the wee hours. Then i always say, why ruin the whole day?
Gosh, tv has gone to the dogs and then some. Having to catch movies to record, so i'll have something. Watched 2 over the week end from TCM. Not too good, but ,,,, was Harry and Tonto,,,and Sundowner.
My Jude hasn't shown up this morning, but i think i know why, The place behind me got mowed sometime,,and i didn't even hear it. So he's hiding. That ol guy that did it, sure didn't do a very good job, left a lot, but, better than it was, won't have to worry about fire so much.
Got text from my niece, SS,,,lol,,lottajoy, and they've bought a house and moving stuff into storage til paperwork done. Haven't sold the other one yet either. Texted her back, saying,,CALL ME. lol,,,i can't have a conversation doing those!!! I want to hear about the house. They lived in one there in Lake Worth that was wall to wall houses. Postage stamp yard. So i know they wanted one with property. Their 3 kids need running room..
Don't have to cook today, well, after i boiled some more eggs. Have leftovers. My feet are really killing me lately. Feels like stone bruises, hard to walk on.
Don't remember if i told you i got a jury summons or not, but i just can't do that any more. Just got a call back and was told she would find out more and get back to me. I know my Doc would excuse me, but that might not be neccessary. The meds i take would not let me sit for long periods of time, diuretics,,So i could just see me holding my hand up,,asking to be excused,,,lololol..

Still Not Good
Really really getting concerned about BB. I've never seen him go this long without a post. PLZ BB, if you read this, let us know you're ok..
I had 3 comments from RVSUE ,,didn't even know she read this, but she was asking about WHAT had happened to Ben. Gosh, it was on his blog in the comments. I read comments again on the older posts because there's more, and it was all on there. One of the first i had read. When i read a blog, there might be a few comments, but by the next day, a lot more, see what i mean? Then when i saw how many i went right into them and got the shock that was so upsetting.
Sue, i'm not a follower of yours because of having to sign on with too much of my personal stuff to do it. But i do read it every time it's renewed, and sure do enjoy. Would sure welcome you on mine.
DDs sounding like he has a HUGE job to do, what with putting together that storage shed for his mower. Don't you know it's too darned hot? Besides, it might blow away with this upcoming,,lol, hurricane. I'm gonna sound like Ben now,,those stupid weathermen,,it COULD do this,,it COULD do that,,doesn't take a brilliant mind to know this, does it?
I still haven't finished the paper. Here it is, noon. N called just as i was getting up and we talked til i just had to have some coffee. So nothing has been normal today.
Stuck to my diet fairly good. Protein, protein, and more protein,,trying to stay under 30 gr carbs a day for the first week. That is HARD. 2 toasts, 1 glass of milk might have put me just over a bit. Had 1 toast, 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, iced tea for breakfast an hour ago. That holds me a long time. Cooked a pot roast yesterday, so i have that to eat too. With stir fry veges. Meats, eggs, cheese, mostly. Not gonna weigh for a week. lololol,,hope it goes wayyyy down. Even the veges have a few.
Ok, i'm rambling, so it's time to go. Yall take care!!! and

Blogs ARE Family
It was such a shock to read about Ben this morning! It hit me hard, even tho we didn't get along, didn't see eye to eye, i still feel like a family member has passed away. Get tears every time i'm thinking about his finally getting his Casita, getting it ready to go. Yes, i still read his blogs every day, even tho i was blocked from making any comments.
Maybe when this shock gets better,,, i can see that he went the way i want to. Like MY Dad.
His Aunt in NM helped me with my Indian ancestry, gave me ways to go back and try to find the connections i needed. She is an amazing woman, sharp as a tack too.
I'm getting tears too, when i think about his 2 rug rats. How lost they must be. My Jude is about the same age as i am, in his cat years, and the thot of going before he does, just is not good.
I regret not knowing he went to the hospital, so i could have had him in my prayers. I never went back to any blogs after yesterday morning, so i missed it. The last i had seen was his friend from Austin was coming.
This is my tribute too, to a member of our blogging family. Amazing how close we are.
