Nothing New

Same ol Same ol,,,

Haven't seen or heard from J today,,,and just tried to call, no answer.  hmmmm...

Need to get a laundry going, but,,,here i am.  This time of year is not good for me,,always get down.  I know i just have to get thru it, and it will get better.  When  the kids grow up,,,Christmas is just not the same.  And there's no little ones in my family, in fact, we are at the end of the line.  One g/child, and she's not ever gonna have any.  So that's it.  Coming from such a big family,,,i never saw this coming.  My son J,,,might be getting married but she's past the age of having kids too.  How many of yall have this situation?  Just curious.

I did finally get things straightened out with Verizon, but having to wait til next week to pay my bill.  I'm having to wait for all the changes to take effect, like my canceling my online account, so i can go back and sign back on again.  They put it on hold til the 20th so i have time. And i think i'm getting a paper bill in the mail, so i can do it that way this one time.

One time, i had spent hours and hours trying to straighten out another bill, so i finally told em,,i'm billing YOU for MY time, and made sure i charged them more that what we were arguing about.... lolol,,,they left me alone after that.  Why do they assume your time is worth nothing? 

Ok,,laundry time,,yall tc, and

Missed Yesterday

J surprised me showing up early yesterday, and stayed all day.  We had a good time, eating waffles, napping,,going out to the park feeding the geese.  His back was hurting, he thinks from the weather.  The change coming. 

AND, the change showed up this morning,,wind out of the N, cloudy.  Not much cooling off tho.  Rain?  HA!  TV says East,,of course.  They always talk about the I35 corridor,,, E or W of it, and that's how it really seems.  I35 goes thru Austin, so,,,E of us all.

Saw that BB had about the same thing i did last week.  Wow, seems it's everywhere now.  That stomach stuff.  Mine didn't last but a couple of hours.

Earlier, there was a car hit a deer, and caught on fire, and then just a few minutes later, a few miles from that, another roll over.  Don't know how that fire could have started but it did.  Don't think anybody was hurt seriously tho.  At that time of day, you always think kids driving to school.

Ok,,time for waffles, yall tc, and

Is 75* a Record?

Last nite was our lighted Christmas parade, which i have loved in the past.  I was disappointed this time, tho.  It did have quite a few floats all lit up, but not much else.  The temp was 75*!!!!  This was after dark!  As soon as the last one went by i left...when i got to the intersection behind me, i just drove thru the tape strung across it,,,and lost my antenna.  It was just stuck on there, not attached.  I went back by twice and didn't see it, so,,,came on home.  I'm gonna go back today and see if it's still laying there somewhere.

O yeah,, it was still 70* this morning when i got up.  I can remember when i was in hi school, and it was hot during the holidays and we nearly went swimming.
 
DD said he's having trouble with blogger or something.  How can that be?  I mean, on both his puters.  DD, it makes NO sense to me.  And how can your service affect it?  Gosh, now my brain's overloaded,,,lololol.  On one thing,,yeah, but on both?

Any of yall use a registry clean up thingy?  I ran one this morning,,,and finally just cut it off.  Guess it means this laptop is really messed up, huh?  I was doing the free version,,,(you can buy it for 29.95) or get it free is you buy from certain merchants.  It was still going at thousands and thousands...I'd never get to use this again, if i had to finish that, then let it clean them all,,,lolololol.

Ok, shower time, so yall tc, and

Not Done YET

It took til about 9 am to realize it's Sat.  The Today show wasn't on,,,lololol.

Got an email saying Verizon had given me credit and my  bill was,,,so n so.  #%^&)*&*_%  They did,, for ONE charge, not the TWO!!!  Which means you know what.  AND it will be Mon before i can do a thing.  There was a $90.00 charge,  for the first 1/2 hour,,then a $40.00 for the next one,,,they took off the $40.00 one.  Maybe my ear will be well by then. 

It wasn't foggy here today, but it's still cloudy mostly.  I'm like DD, it's staying warm much longer this year.  We did have one good frost last week, and the leaves are falling like a storm.  That usually happens some time in Oct.

Got 2 orders in yesterday.  My Christmas ones.  From 2 different places,,got home and there they were, on the porch.  Sometimes i don't see my front porch for days.  I try to remember to look daily from the street when i drive by going to the drive way.  These were big enough to see for sure.

This year has been too busy for me to be able to do the things i normally have done.  Like the shopping.  I've never been this late.  And i haven't done anything for my niece's family and don't think i will.  Last year i ordered some things and had them shipped there directly, but this year, just haven't had the time to look.  They have 3 girls.  She's the only one i buy for besides immediate family, (my three).  Cause she always brings me something!!!  Told her not to.

Ok,,yall tc, and

O Woe is Me

Well,,,i've spent hours today, dealing with Verizon about my bill,,,that has an overcharge of about 150.00.  First thing,,hold,,finally a voice says how can i help you?,, then more hold,, and more hold,,,goes on for over 2 hours.  By then my ear is numb, my shoulder aching,,,,and i'm still not thru.  They finally tell me it has been corrected and that amount taken off, but won't show up til JAN!!!!,,,which means,,my draft will still have the overcharges on it!  Hey wait a minute,,,i can't do that!!

Soo,,now i call the bank and they ask if they can call me back in a minute,,i say yes.  HA!!! My minute and their minutes just don't mean the same....  I finally call back and am told,,o, we were just fixing to call you,,,yeah sure.  Then they tell me there will be a 30.00 charge for canceling this draft just one time.  I tell them NO WAY. 

So,,back i go to Verizon,,and in the holding,,again,,,time,,i look on my online account and see where it says de-enroll,,,,hmmmmm.  I finally get a person again,,who keeps leaving me to ask my questions to someone else,,,so i start clicking this online choices...  Maybe,,,just maybe i've done it.  Gotten out of that draft coming up in mid Dec.  Someone back there somewhere did tell me they would send me a paper bill, which i will NOT pay that amount, but pay what i actually owe.  Let them use my credit THEY gave me to correct it.  O boy.  The tech that i called first,,said,,,he felt for me, cause they had messed his own personal account up, and it took ages to correct,,,lolololol.

Yall tc, don't mess with Verizon,,,and

It's COLD

It was showing 30, earlier.  Guess i need to get the covers out for the outside faucets, even tho i've never had one freeze.  Gonna be a fantastic day ,,,,

lol Just set my waffles on the table and J called, asking if i wanted the B/taco.  I'm back on my waffles for a while,,,the taco is good sometimes tho.

Hey BB, i'm so surprised you haven't made any comments on RVSue, about the slabs.... lollololol.  Do you miss going there?  O yeah,,,you're catching those big bass, lolol, chasing golf balls, riding that billy bike,,,etc..having so much more fun,,,

Sometimes,,my head feels so strange, funny, like woozy.  It was doing that yesterday and i checked my b/sugar, b/pressure,,all ok.  Just don't know what it is, but it goes away.  Brought it up cause it just had a touch happen again. 

J is doing so good, and it's been almost a month now.  Not having the spasms as much.  It's amazing, when you think about it,,how fast he's healing.  He's just about quit wearing that brace that doesn't fit right, rubs on the spine where it shouldn't.  The doc even said,,don't wear it... On about the same surgery back in 2000, that doc didn't believe in them,,told him he had him screwed together enough he didn't need one,,, (those were the ones taken out).  He is also 1 3/4" taller,,,

We went out to the park yesterday,,he finally has seen the attraction i have for it,,,and watched all the different birds.  The geese, some big black ducks, sea gulls, a lot of white cranes, and one blue one.  He loves it too,,now.   Have to give my Mom credit for my love of nature and all it's creatures.  When i was a kid ,,, was fascinated with red ants, and bees.

Well, i'm just rattling on here, so yall tc, and

Is it Monday?

Hmmm,,nope.  I went out to the park yesterday and waited for that front.  Sure enough,,it did cloud up, even thundered a little, and then the wind hit.  LOLOLOL,,had to move, those little oak tree leaves were like snow coming into my window.  It had been hot and still, til that wind hit.  I had done my little bit of walking before then, tho.  It did actually rain a little bit.  Not enough to measure,,,went by to the South and on to the West where they got good rains.  Didn't seem to bother those geese at all...

Haven't seen J since last Wed, but he called and is bringing a breakfast taco.  Sounded good today.  Mine are egg, bacon, potato, and cheese...His are made with chicken, onion, green pepper, cilantro, and are really good too, and filled so much he takes over half off and makes another one.

I got my Christmas shopping done over the weekend,,,lol,,,,Ordered them.  Got the three i buy for, the same thing.  An Admiral FitzRoy's storm glass.  Got this little catalog, called Bits and Pieces, and it has some of the neatest things in it.  A long time ago, i gave J this clock,,,had ball bearings that would roll down a chute each minute, then every hour, they would all fall and start over...,.,hahahahaha,,,Didn't take him long to move that thing out of his room,,,lolololol.  Never knew what happened to it,,just another thing that disappeared over the years.  WELL,,,for the first time since then,,there is one in this little catalog!!!  Gonna show him,,,when he gets here.  NOT gonna buy another one....

No plans for today, well, i will finish my book, don't have much and hated to put it down last nite.  I read during commercials,,lol.
