Ho hum,,

Got quite a bit done today, and not in the mood to do this.  I cleaned a little in the kitchen where i used glass cleaner, (i make my own), cooked some hamburger helper, and just generally took my time.

This is the glass cleaner, best i've ever used.  Came from Ann Landers a long time ago.  Makes a gallon.

1/2 c sudsy ammonia  (i use plain, can't find sudsy)
1 pint isopropyl rubbing alcohol
1 tsp dishwashing detergent

add water to make gallon.

Easy huh?  Cleans grimey, greasy stuff excellent.  No streaks. 

G came by yesterday for a bit, then said he was going out to Ns, asked if i wanted to,,of course,,i did.  Had a great time.  B and SIL showed up too, going out to a Volunteer Fire Dept. barbq.  Got home barely in time to eat supper and get thru by 8.  My movie time.  Water for Elephants is a good movie.

I sure love that site at ustream,,petespond.  All kinds of wild life show up there.  Elephants, zebras today too.  And i read about something new on Google Earth,,lets you take a road trip thru some Nat'l Parks, like you're really driving it.  Gosh,,need to do that and see them.  They are in CA.

There's a site on facebook for this area, a swap, sell one, and i put my other laz y boy chair on it, but didn't think the pic loaded, so i just left it,  couldn't find how to delete.  SIL told me it was there, and people were asking about it, but today it's not.. Think they kicked me off.  And i don't know why my pic never loaded.  Then did, later.  I'll try later, and if i can't maybe she will do it.

DD is talking about why people like blogs.  I agree with all he says.  But the one thing i like most, is when the blogger comes back and answers the comments.  It lets you interact more with them.  The ones that never answer are the ones i rarely leave comments on.  And sometimes i might miss going back and not seeing them, so i apologize now if i do.  Any way,,, that's the best ones,,

Time for lunch, or,,,i'm hungry,,lol.  Time doesn't matter.  It's crunchy taco,,,good.

Huge Drug Bust

Yep,, huge drug bust in Austin,, of, hold your breath,,,BATH SALTS!   Who is crazy enough to do this?  Says similar to the others in symptoms.  Now i can't go buy bath salts,,without looking like an addict...hahahaha

DD is talking about singing,,lol,,i never could carry a tune, but,, my mother made me take piano lessons when i was a kid,,(girlie thing).  My teacher was a blind woman, and her sheet music was in brail.. Pretty cool,,huh?  Well, i went twice a week for a couple of years, and she finally told me there was nothing else she could teach me.  I had to have the sheet music, no talent by ear, but she taught me chords,, so it sounded like i played by ear.  She lived like 1/2 block from us.  Later, when i was around 19, i started playing for church.  I could pound it out,,,boogie woogie style,,lol.  I guess when i had J, was when i quit it.  Now, i've forgotten it all, been so long.  Not even sure i could play chop sticks.  I've always loved music, and dancing.

My 1st hubby had NONE in him, so we never danced,,and that was for 26 years!  After we split, i started going to a club with sis N,,dotter L, and one of their friends.   There were a couple i didn't know how to do, soooo,,,here's this 10 year old niece,,SS,, taught me how to do the Cotton Eyed Joe, and the Chautice?,,, Her dad had a band and she knew em.

One time, for a New Year's Eve party,,,she gave me a blinking head band,,hahahaha...I put it on at midnight...

So much for getting out a little early to go to the store.  I'm gone,,so yall tc, and

Guns,,,and Chairs?,,, lol

 

Heard on tv,,guns are selling like crazy here in TX.  Mass murderers,,,BEWARE!   Even my dotter has one.  I think she finally got her permit too.

This is my old chair,,,,

and new.

They put a longer thingy on it, to raise it with.  It’s like sitting on a cloud.  The leg rest has more positions than the old one.  Like,,I can barely raise it,,,and sit like that, without going way up.

Our Sonic here makes their own onion rings, and I’m hungry for them.  Don’t know what I might get to go with them tho…lol.  I really really need to cook something.  Been thinking about hamburger helper, but I get tired of that before I eat it all.  Maybe make some I can freeze.  Still have lots of home grown tomatoes.

Guess I’m gonna have to check for movies a lot ,,,for the next 2 weeks.  There is one thing I want to watch for, and that’s a track run,,not sure how far, but a guy is running from Marble Falls.  Went to UT.  Think his name is Hernandez.  Also, I like to watch Phelps.

For some horrible reason, I woke up about 5 and couldn’t go back to sleep, so,,got up about 6.  Will make for a bad day.  I’ve had my coffee, read the paper, and need to get back to sleep. 

To make it clear on my blood tests, they are done about every 3 months, no special reason.  They just keep up with my diabetes, blood pressure meds, cholesterol,,,things like that.  I keep asking if I can delete some of those darn pills, and keep getting,,NO.  lol.  I forgot to ask about my feet, why I feel like I have a stone bruise on the left one.  Know I don’t.  When I get up at night it really hurts to walk on it.  Can you pull a ligament in your feet?  I think that’s what I did.  It doesn’t hurt all the time tho. 

Gonna eat my waffles and go back to bed.  Yall tc, and

All Good

Got that call just a minute after 8 am,,way early, but i was accidentally up.  All blood tests good.

I'm already tired of Olympics.  On the Today Show, just about all they had.  Then,,,my night shows will be messed up for the 2 weeks.  There's very little i like, well, not enough to stay with them for hours.

I got my floors mopped today, and yes,,that's a major clean for me.  I think it's like my car windows,,when they get to where i can't stand them,,then i clean em...  With just me and Jude,,they last a long time.  I clean spots as needed.  But today,, it was moving everything,,sweeping first,,then the mopping.  See what i mean?  Gosh, i used to be able to whiz thru a whole house, doing it all, in record time.  Had my walls shaking with R&R too!  My first day working in home health,,,i went to 5 places, and none of them had had help for weeks.  I cleaned them ALL.  After i got home,,i almost didn't go back.  I did, and learned to handle all of it better.  I filled in for the ones that didn't have regular help, so i went to lots of places.  Over 3 counties,,and sometimes more.  I was paid mileage and driving time, so i rested while i drove.

That was my last job except doing my own,,private.  All of us got laid off, when the company had to downsize.  Drew unemployment almost a year, tho.  Never could find another job that would pay enough to live on, tho, so that's when i took early retirement.  And i love it!

Gosh!!!!!!!!!!!  It's HOT.  Went out to get rid of mop water, hang up the mop.,  Whew.

Another Doc Visit,,,and I Don't Even Know Why

Today was a visit to my doc,,and i don't think either one of us knew why,.  All i know is i was told to come back in July  for,,,???.  And she wasn't sure either, so,,,got some blood work done,,checking whatever.  I got really p....ed off,,when i got in to sign in,,,they handed me a paper said i had to sign.  Well,,i told em i was gonna read it first.  So i sat down,,there were 20 things i would be agreeing to by signing it.  There were some i objected to so i carried it back and told them i wasn't gonna sign it.  THEN,,,i'm told if i don't i can't see the doc!  New requirement,,,so she asked if i wanted to talk to the manager, and i said yep,,sure do. 

She starts explaining them to me,,and i stop her, tell her i understand what it's saying,,that i'm objecting to some of them.  Well, long story short, i had to sign that darn thang to see the doc. 

I already need a nap.  Gonna get in that chair and kick back, shut my eyes, and,,,,hope i doze off.


You can check out this pcip and see what we are doing at http://www.naschip.org/.  It's a federal program for people like my son and everything i have seen, sounds good.  At least there will be insurance.  There's just no other choice.  No where to go.  When we go back to San Antonio, i will talk to the woman there about it, show her what i have.  She didn't know anything about it, had never heard of it.  It's 2 years old,,,is why, i think.

Well, need that nap so yall tc, and

Just Hi and Bye today

Just not gonna be able to do much of a post today.  I spent most of the morning on J's medical coverage, and after talking to several people,,doing research online,,gonna go with pcip.gov plan.  It's just a couple of years old, and not many people have heard of it, but,,not much of a choice now, since he was turned down by Medicaid.  It was suggested thru a letter from SSI.  He fits the bill for sure...

I'm tired, so gonna have some late lunch, and then,,nap time.  Yall tc, and

Time for a New Chair

Strange,,,my page won't load.  Won't let me reply, won't show blogs i follow.  Think it has something to do with IE?  Hmmmm,,,think i'll check that out.  Yep,,guess that's it.  I keep getting pop ups saying i need to update IE,,But,,i have the latest one, so why?  I've tried running it, and it will stop and tell me that.

Well, we sure have the dog days back,,probably thru Aug.  I'm considering myself lucky to have had this summer cooler and wetter.  LOLOLOL,,,sure cost me in mowing.

I'm gonna go and check out new lazyboy chairs later.  There's nothing wrong with the one i have, just not comfortable for me.  I bought it because it didn't sit as low as my old one, easier to get out of.

Well, just got back and having that new chair delivered between 1 and 2.  I think i'm gonna love it.   Gosh,, need to remember to get my camera out of the car, i'll show you.  I had talked to J earlier and told him i was going there today about a chair,,and they were wanting a sofa or futon...i told him to check there.  While i'm waiting for the paperwork to get filled out,,she gets a call about a futon,,,lololol,,,wasn't him tho.  

So stupid,,i keep hearing about gun laws.  Don't they realize if someone had been carrying,,,that shooter in CO might have been stopped?  Thank God,,here in TX, we can.  Years ago,,in Killeen at a Luby's a gunman went in and started shooting.  This one woman had taken hers out of her purse, left it in the car because a sign said no fire arms.. Her parents were killed sitting there.  Amid others, don't remember how many now.  That was something she would have to live with the rest of her life.  IF she had left it in her purse, she could have shot the gunman.,,,,saved some lives.  If i had a permit, i would darn sure keep it with me, in this day and age, wouldn't you?  I just have my shot gun now, no hand gun.

Just got a call, they are bringing the chair,,yall tc, and
