Is this Thursday?,,,
Heat's here til the weekend. And i think we still have that African dust too. Just saw on FB where my G/dotter's ac is out. Never fails to do that in the worst of the summer. Not sure if it's fixable or not.,,,Surely it is.
You either watch Olympics or turn the tv off. Mine's off. Just need the quiet sometimes. Fixing to eat some oatmeal, maybe nap a little, and read. Almost thru with my book.

Not Much Today
I did get everything done that could be done for the insurance. Now, it's wait. If we find out he has to have surgery soon, i'll call them and see if it can be effective by 9-1. IF HE CAN WAIT THAT LONG!
Sorry, just can't function today, so yall tc, and

Dog Days Here
J just told me his back is giving him major problems, and i told him to call and see if his doc would see him as an emergency. He's done it before. I have this paperwork ready to go, so i told him i'd get it faxed, and a copy mailed. He's going to bed with ice. When this happens, his left leg, sometimes the whole side, starts trying to shut down. So now i'm waiting to hear back from him.
He just called, his doc is gonna schedule an MRI and call him back.
Just not in the mood to write now. Will try to get back later and let you know about all this.

Bright Red Monday,,, (Hot)
I've been playing around with this for a while,, not sure what i'm doing. lol. I did get on a virtual tour in the parks in CA.. Really fascinating. I can go there,,right here,,,,and drive thru twisting and turning to look.
Got out and did a couple of errands already. Got the $Store trip done. In to stay. I never left the house yesterday.
Got the outside water cleaned out and replaced too. It's kinda under the crepe myrtle and gets the falling blooms in it. When i opened the door for Jude late yesterday,,he kept looking, and stopping, to the left of my door like something was there. I need to check that out. Like to never got him to come by there. So he has either seen something there, or it was there. He finally took off fast and ran in...lololol. But that was after all the looking and sniffing. Heck, could be a grasshopper, been seeing them lately. Never know about him,,but i sure learned to look!!! After the rattlesnake in my house.
I've about quit using this laptop in the front of the house. The battery doesn't have a long life, and i kept letting it run down. It will say, low battery, and in a few seconds, it's gone. Seems that way. I didn't look out that much anyway.
Anybody watching the Olympics? I 'm not, but i do listen when they're talking about a few things,,like swimming.
J was the swimmer,, always. Had to have him take lessons at 4,,before he drowned himself. Had NO fear of water, ever. The next summer, first day, he ran down to midway of the pool and jumped in,,,FORGOT he could swim!! About the 3rd time he came up, i asked the life guard to get him...lol... He'd climb up the ladder to the high board and jump off. He was still small, and thot he had to wear flippers so here he went,,flippers and all, up that ladder, flopping out to the end and jumping. The life guard would be there, waiting, trying to stay out of the way,,,lol.
Later, he was on the swimming team, and was really good. But he never understood that in the races, his time was what mattered, not being way ahead of everybody. I have a pic of the team, and he's on the front row, on his knees, looking to his right at his now gf...they were both on it. She was his gf then too.
I watched a 3 hour movie last nite. Don't like to do that. I'm having a hard time finding ones to record, tho.
Ok,,i'm boring yall enough, so tc, and

Ho hum,,
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
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
