When Its Bad.,,,,Its BAD

Know its late, but what a day.  AND nite.... was up about 1/30 soaking that toe.  Made it til about 7/30 and got up, called that doc, and got an apt over there.  Had to drop off my laptop, go to grocery store, so,,why not c him and get this toe taken care of?  Which i did.  He got a big ol hunk of sharp nail out of the side, way down near the base.  Going back in 2 weeks n get the root removed, cure this problem forever.  He removes just the root on the side, and it still looks like a normal nail.

When i came out and looked at cell phone,,,there were 2 calls i didnt recognize.  The first one,  a lawyer, was saying something about needing to talk to this person today! (voice mail).  Tried to call the number back, couldnt, and couldnt leave a message either, so,,,hell with it..  LOLOL Think he'll ever believe that so n so didnt get his message??? hahahahah  Second one,,i did get, was a parole officer, did tell her that i SURE wasnt the one she wanted.  In just that short period of about 30 mins, these 2 calls were left on my voice mail.  Hope someone doesnt get a jail sentence over that. lmaoooo 

OK,,now to laptop.  Dropped it off at da man... and by the time i was thru over there, he was finishing up doing his thing.  Turned out,,,now lets c if i can get this straight,,,, my anti virus decided to overload, and just kept on n on.,,,every day collecteing data here, data there.  Went crazy, lost its mind.   Soooo,,,he couldnt delete all of that, so he just deleted IT.  Had put all my stuff over on another thing, took that off, put a free one, AVG, back on,, reloaded my stuff, and YEAH,,,, im GOOD.  Worst thing, ive got that same Kaspersky on my desktop too, now what to do?,,,,Know one thing, im calling them, and getting my money back.  AND the cost of getting this fixed.

Im so tired, yall, but just wanted to update today. 

Day of Rest,,

Laptop giving me all kinds of problems, so here i am,,,on my desktop.   Ive gotten so used to using the LT, hard to change.  Its been getting worse n worse for days, and today, just went to hell.  Says 0 memory, wont let me open even my email.  Yesterday n day before, ive been dumping files like crazy, and now im finding out nothing helped.  Still saying the same thing,,, need to dump 300 MB.  Got my kaspersky running a full scan now, c what it finds, and i really dont expect anything.   I have it set to run scans every week, i think.  Ive called my puter man and gonna take it to him tomorrow unless i do a drastic change today.  (Like i know what im talking about,,,lmaooo). Only thing i do know, i know where he lives, hahahaha.

Had a wild crazy horse running around up here today, lololol.  Had chasers, animal control, etc, but when he got ready to quit having his good time,,,he let them put that rope around his neck.  Then, the mule across the street kept braying, wanting more action.  What a day!! Dont ya love it? 

Have to make a run out to Ns house,,,she can get ingrown toenails out really good.  Got a bad one.  Been soaking in epsom salts, keeping neosporin on it for 2 days.  Time to get the operation done. lol  This goes back nearly 2 years, to when i first saw that foot doc and he cut it off too far down on the side, made it start then.  Went thru lots of stuff for months, and he finally cut off the side of my toenail.  It got well then, but now,,the nail is trying to grow out and getting ingrown again.  He dropped me when i asked him not to cut way down on the sides any more.    Well, thats what caused it in the first place!!!  His charge for cutting my toenails was WAY up there, billed to medicare.  Without medicare to cover it, would have been less than a 1/3.

O yeah, Ns got a new rooster and 4 more hens.  Well, gonna have, by the end of the week.  The 3 hens she has left are getting over being scared all the time and the 1 attacked so bad, she still doesnt know if its eye is ok r not.  Its keeping the lid closed, but when it first happened, it opened that lid just for a few seconds, and the eye looked good.  I was thinking last nite, maybe its stuck,,,  Ill get her and well check that out today. Tuesday is her house cleaning day,,,, u DO NOT DISTURB that.  She called and said she was thru, about 1;30. Im not going out til a bit later.

Ok,,done my do,,maybe,,,ill bbl.

Good day, Sunday ppl

Used to just love sundays,,,getting all dressed up, going to church.  I even played piano for a couple of years way back there.  Now,,,no dress ups, no sunday nites,,,take time off for holidays.  Rare to find a preacher thats actually a God person, not in it for the money.  I dont believe being in a building will take u to heaven.  I DO believe that living a good life, will.  I have tried to do my best in that regard.

Had to start my laptop in safe mode today.  Then found out in a bit it was so low on memory, i couldnt even uninstall programs...had to delete some first.  What a mess.  Gotta remember im on a laptop,,,lol.  This one does have lots of memory, but not like desktop.  Have to start using flash drives. 

My sis, N, picked us all up some of that food at the fire dept. and i went out there for supper,,,,gosh, could just eat about 6 bites.   (wooohooo),,,well, anyway,,,found out that snake was NOT a rattler, had a long pointy tail.  They were back at the chicken pen when i got there, and i found out why,,,when i walked down there.  C had been close by working on something and heard a hen making a strange noise, and he went to c,,,and the rooster and another hen almost had this one killed...were both on her pecking on her head. OMG,,,still makes me sick.  Was blood all over her, and looked like 1 eye was gone.  Another few seconds and she would have been dead.  He ran the 2 off, out of the pen, and closed the gate.  Later they put antibiotics on her, and i did c her eye open, and i think it will be ok.  They had pecked on top of her head n on 1 eye.  Needless to say,,,theres 2 less chickens out there today.  Their neighbor told them they could have a rooster, n maybe 2 more hens.  He also told them they needed to feed them oyster shells.  Later i remembered that dad always fed back the shells to ours.  Not sure that i believe thats why those 2 did that tho.  What do yall think?  Back when i had some,,,that never happened.  Didnt feed them oyster shells, nor egg shells.

Need to go out to HEB, but sure not gonna today, n cant tomorrow.  Too hot today, respite tomorrow.  Ill just keep adding to my list.  Reason i have to go out there, is i cant get some things here.  Cant save that much any more, with the gas so high.  Like,,,im on my last roll of Charmin,,,ultra strong, ultra large and nobody carries that here.  Also, my soft soap,, i like the new one,,sea mineral, has those little bead things in it.  And,,,my breakfast bars. wow,,,what DO they have here? lololol

Started a movie last nite, but its a long one.  Sandra Bullock,,,with that huge black kid, football player.  Got to the part where hes leaving for college.  (Memorys gone,,,lol) and NO ,,,i dont need to be on the other end at respite.  What has brought all this alzheimers on?  I dont think it used to be that way.  Its like autism.  Ive never even known a kid with it, and they talk like its everywhere now. 

Been trying to think while im watching the masters. Gonna take a break, bbl
 

Rambling on

I've been watching the live stream of newly hatched bald eagles,,,at www.raptorresource.com.  They hatched daily and the oldest one will probably be the only survivor.  He's mean!  It's on ustream, if u can't find it by the above address, the Decorah eagles.  They r brand new.  Got to see the pair change places this morning, and feed the 3, then soo carefully sit on them.  It went off for a few minutes, and that older one was trying to eat the other 2!!!,,,They played dead, lol.  Was watching hummingbirds, but the cam wasn't on one day, and by the next, they had flown out of the nest!!  Then turned to the eagles, and just 1 had hatched so i've kept up with them.

Just today, i finished up the food my friend had sent home with me.  Don't even know how many meals it was, can't eat much.  But i would eat a little with 1 of those huge rolls.  Today i finished the roll with sugar free peach preserves. ummmm.  Roll was buttered, of course.  6 ritz crackers with pimento cheese makes me a meal.  Don't need much in my food budget,,,,lololol,,,wooohoooo.

Changed my sheets today, and took off the electric blanket.  Even got it washed and hanging outside.  Have a quilt at the foot just in case i need extra cover.  Plus,,,the comforter is still on.  I have to take that to the launder mat to wash it, then bring it home and hang out.  My spell checker says thats the way to do laundermat,,,,lololol,,,so ok,,,

Gosh, have water running out on one of the crepe myrtles,, a really old one.  Probably doesnt need it, but getting it anyway.  Nearly all my landscaping is native, or  things that survive on little water.  Also, ones that have blooms to attract hummers and butterflys.  Theres 2 mimosa trees that were here when i bought it, and they love those blooms.  AND, i DON'T care what anybody says about hackberry trees, I LIKE EM.  No care needed, and last to drop leaves.  Have 3 large ones, and 2 more growing in great places that need shade.  lol,,,everything needs shade here.  Have a huge chinaberry tree on west side that used to be all the shade i had on that side and i guess they r a lot more hardy than i had thot.  Had 1 pop up behind my storage shed, and thot, gee, wish it would make it.  Was too far for me to water, so i just left it alone.  wow, its in its 3 year now, growing like a weed, never had any care.  Im so proud of it, lol.  In the 10 years ive lived here, i now have a great big hackberry, and another chinaberry getting there,,,on the west side.  My sis, N, has her front yard full of oaks,,and theyve been blooming,,,omg,,,what a mess.  Between the exchange of leaves and the blooms on them,,,u begin to wonder why u ever wanted them!

bbl

Not much to add.  Fire Dept. is having their annual fish fry, bar-b-q today, and gonna go by and get a plate to go.  Last time i ate their fish, it was so salty, i couldnt go back for 2 r 3 years, (can't eat much salt), so maybe it will be ok this time.  Sis, N, is gonna pick them up, and im going out there n eat with them.  LOLOLOLO,,,,she was getting her minnow jars out of pump house, and 1 had this little snake in it,,, she swears was a rattler.  I described a young one, n she said yessssss,,,that was what it looked like, so maybe she did. I was laughing cause it couldnt possibly bite being in that jar, but she yelled loud enough to get C down  there,,,which he proceeded to smash it in the jar.  Surprised he didnt get the big guns out! LMAOOO.  A rattler doesnt have diamonds on its back til its about 2 years old, will have the black n white stripes on the tail,,,and a button.  The head is also not triangle shaped yet.  The more i told her, the more she swore it was one,,,hahahahaha.  I think he smashed it enough u wouldnt be able to tell even if u could find it now.  She kept saying it was ,,,cause it was striking, and had its tail up.  All snakes do that!!! hahahaha o well,,,maybe i just have a sick sense of humor.  I nearly picked that one up in my house that time, cause it didnt look much like a rattler.  Then later, my bro, B, told me why.  Now, that means theres a den nearby, and they need to really watch.  One that young hasnt come far from a den.  Shes probably already called B...hahahahaha, bring out ur gas!!!,,now!!! hahahaha,,,and here i sit, laughing with tears,,,,

Gosh its tooo hot.  Down to 95.4 now,,,Know lots more coming.  bye yall, tc

Happy Days

I swear, if i had to complain as much as Ben, up there, think id get help.  hahahahaha,,,have to read his blog, just to make my day happy.  Ben, r u really that miserable?  Always look on the bright side, was drilled into us from the getgo.  Every cloud has a silver lining.  etc etc lol  Now, there were a few years back there, i didnt have a bright side, was hell.  Maybe thats where he is now.  If so, u have alll my sympathy.

im one of those that dont use caps,,,o well,,,

Great news today!!!!... took about 45 mins to eat 2 hard boiled eggs with 1 piece of toast!!!  The mornings r the worst.  (what my friend told me)  Dont think i dare try to eat out, u can upchuck instantly if something kinda hangs up.  hahaha,,,anybody wanna take me out? Its not very much, and u could use a napkin.  Havent been that brave yet, tho.

Think ill probably be running my front ACs today.  Got so bad yesterday, for just a while, nearly did then.  Having all that energy yesterday left me drained today, i guess, havent done doodlely today.

Just had a man stop by and want all these ?s answered about the property next door.  Kept telling him,,,go to the agency,,i dont know. lololol,,,NOT telling anybody anything.  X n son have first option, but,,,im still not telling anybody anything.

 hmmmm,,,how did it work this time????

Have Another! lunch invite, lolol,,,n cant EAT

But,,,, im going anyway,,,i can at least taste,,,She's cooked a pot roast,,,yummmmm.   This is the friend, S, that took me to Austin Tues.  N invited me out last nite for supper,,,deer meat with mashed potatoes, gravy, pea salad, and YES,, i ate til i was way way over full. lolol,,,o yeah,,,bread pudding for dessert too.  Had to bring that home for later.  The amount i could eat was about half as much as earlier, and i didnt get hungry before bedtime either.  So, things r looking GOOOD.

Been real cloudy all morning, but i went out n started watering anyway.  (bring rain?)  At least no sun nor wind to dry it out.  O yeah, went thru car wash yesterday too.  Gotta rain now.  Guess i could hang my load of wash outside,,, leaving my windows open too.  What else can i do?  Let yall know about this.  Gotta work.

DD ,,, my sis, N, chased a red bird outa her chicken pen, and it was so tired, it landed on the ground.  Her cat had it instantly.  Now he goes with her every time hoping for a repeat.  When she walks this,,,thing she calls a dog, lol (c my vid on youtube, TROUBLEnTX)  both outside cats go with her.    The neighbors r just fascinated by that.   The half grown cats, were throw outs, r bigger than the ,,,dog.  I have a few other vids too,,,TROUBLEnTX1,,,check those out too, if u dare.

Time to go,,,,that lunch is calling.  Ill think about yall while im eating,,,home made rolls toooooo.  Not sure i can eat those, that bread is hard to do, but i can smell.                     

RAIN RAIN RAIN,,,thats my wish. byeee

 Later,,,,

surpriseeee,,,i did get to eat one of those rolls.  Just 1, because they were as big as burger buns.  Took small bites, chewed a lot. lol,,but,,,it worked.  Was smothered beef, lots of onions, n lots of gravy.  Then a pot of pinto beans cooked with chopped up ham.   A macaroni salad.  Yall hungry yet?  Then, she packed up all this stuff to take home with me, and of course, i didnt argue, much.  Did wash a few dishes for my meal, lololol.  Meals,,i mean.

Darn it, all those on Idol were good last nite,,,but i still just voted for my fav 3, Casey, James, and Scotty.  Wow,,,that Scotty last nite,,,and Wow,,,again.  He did an Elvis song, and ,,well,,just Wow.  Hes just 17, got that deep voice like Johnny Cash.  Getting scary now, to c who is eliminated. 

Just dont know whats wrong with me.  Had all this energy today, have done all kinds of things.  Went out to take a cover off the front AC, and was in the process of doing so,,,n felt something just staring at me.  YES, was a yellowjacket!!!,  right there in my face, almost.  He put his wings up, glaring at me, and,,,I LEFT.  But,, guess what,,,i went back,,armed.  Got that sucker with one shot. lololol  Then, i finished the job.  Now if it gets in the 90s any more, im ready.  I have wall units, not central.  Lots more economical.  I cool the front during the day, and the back, my bed room, at nite.  Have one of those gas heaters with a thermostat, and just that and 1 r 2 burners in my kitchen, is all i need to heat the front.  Never heat the back, like it cold.  I do heat the bed before i go back there, then turn the blanket off when i get into bed.  Works for me.

Well, that catches me up, getting kinda late in the afternoon, better get out n run a couple of errands.  OOO YEAH,,, all those clouds r gone.  All that stuff i did,,,for nothing.

bye  

My Ideal Doc.

Thank God i changed docs.  HE didnt tell me to start counting calories and go back to the dietician.  He checked how many cc i had in that thing, (3 outa 9),,,coundnt believe it, checked again,,,still was the 3!!!!  Stupid doc over in Round Rock, had told me it was 7.  Never checked.  Well,,,he gave me 2 cc and told me to come back in 4 weeks, might need more.  oooo tytyty new doc.... lol  Couldnt eat much after that, either.  Like,, on the way back we stopped at a McDs,,got stuff to go, and i could only eat the little fish patty.  For supper, could only eat 1/2 my grilled cheese.  wow!!! yea!!!  Bread and lettuce just dont work.  If u eat them, it will hurt and u will gag and throw up, not much, but enough to relieve it.  wooohooo.,,,after nearly a year, messing around with the original doc, chosen sight unseen out of a group i didnt know,,,,there is hope.  Talking about bread there,  i can eat toast.  U take small bites, chew at least 30 times, which i had done anyway, and u can eat just about anything.  The friend i went with, had hers about a year before i did, (she lives 2 blocks from me) and shes lost over 200 lbs.,,,without exercising too.  Shes had 2 foot surgeries since then and can walk quite a bit now.  lol... We weigh about the same now.  So, for any of yall thinking about lap band,,,DO IT.  It also cures type 2 diabetes.  Im off one of my pills, but will be off all in the future, even the high blood pressure one, and the cholesterol.  Hate having to take all these pills.  Half r vitamins tho.

Who am i to complain, my son is in so much worse condition, what with all his 4 back surgeries, and another one in the future.  He lives in constant pain.  Makes me cry,,,wish it were me.  Had to laugh about SS printing out his med records from just one place, and it just kept going, and going.  Dont know how many pages it took,,,and that was just one.  He has finally applied for disability, and 25 years ago, after first back surgery, his doc told him to do it then.  Dont think he'll have any problem getting it.  He told me that last neck surgery was over 100000. dollars.  He did have SSI to cover that.  He had to wait for months to get the approval, and one wrong move could have done him in.  BAD.  ok,,,enough.  Gotta look on the bright side, to what hes done with all the kids throughout his life.  Has saved the life of quite a few, just by going by every day to make sure they had food, clothing, etc, til CPS could take them.  Then he kept an eye on the foster parents to make sure they werent mistreated.

Did i tell u, he and his dad, my first x, r buying the block to the East of me? Well, his dad.  When he, son, looked at it, knew they HAD to have it.  At the top of the hill, u can see everywhere.  Down on the town, the dam on river, mountains.  Best location in town.  And,,,best of all,,,the quiet!! Has just one street on North side, that in 2 blocks, is a dead end.  Very little traffic.  NO DOGS.  lol,,,over there where they live, there r 100s, barking day n nite.  DD, these arent dogs like urs... these r in pens, no attention,,,just left alone to bark.  mostly big dogs too.  OMG,,,gotta tell u about the new drug sniffing dog the DEA bought a few years ago.  It lived 1/2 block from them, big german sheppard, and x was out with his cats,,when the dog got outa the pen and came hurtling down the street straight to one of the cats.  My x grabbed up the cat and saved her and took her into the house. Then he called and told them he would shoot that dog if he saw it come back.  They had already had 2 neighbor dogs come over in their yard and kill one of their beloved siamese.  And yes, they kicked up a stink about that, ended up with the 2 pitt bulls being put down.  Anyway, they told him he better not, that dog had cost 5000. dollars.  He didnt even hesitate, told them his cat had cost 10!!!! and he would shoot the dam dog.  It never showed up any more.  So thats what they have to live with over there.  My x goes home in time to take the cats out for just a while, then back in they go.  Texman, what would u do?  lol,,,I know what i would do...never even hesitate.  Working in home health, lots of people had little dogs, and  i really liked them.  Not the 2 pekingese, tho.  Yapping hyper never shut up dogs.  Just thot about what happened back when he bought that house, hadnt even moved in, and a skunk had gotten in thru the cat door.  He called the police dept. and they sent an officer who went in blasting!!!!,,,shot holes in walls, ceiling, etc. and of course the skunk let loose while he was dying.  Sure cost the city to clean that up and replace all the carpet.  Fired that stupid officer too. lmaoooo

Lordy Lordy, gonna HAVE to start watering.  Never going to rain.  Dont water much, just trees and shrubs.

Well folks,,,its lunch time,,,i think.  Im hungry anyway,,,do have that 1/2 grilled cheese left.  Sound good?
