Think I'm Recovering

How u like it?  Was reading about the changes in blogger, got into this.  I'll take a vote, like or not.

Lots lots better today.  In fact i woke up about 3.30, and in a bit, got up, paper was here, made coffee.  lol
After all that, went back to bed for a bit. 

DoT,,that's u, daughterof texas.  I did mention why i didn't post to ur blog, having to fill out too much private info, and it's because u don't use blogger.com.  You and 2 others.  That's why u can't post to ours.  Plz come join us.  As concerning ur age and career, that's about when i got into home health care, and it became my favorite of all the things i had done.  Sure beat sitting  behind the same desk, in the same chair, for 40 hours a week.  You can get just a short training to become a cna, and increase the pay, or go a little longer and become an lvn, which is really good pay in the field.  There's all kinds of jobs in the medical field that would require a little training and age would have nothing to do with it. 

Get out of there BB, u have to, if u can't blog u know.  Can't catch fish, can't blog, geeezzz,,,can't fix Bubba Boat,,cmon...

OOO YEAH!!! Almost forgot to mention these bugs we have called the kissing bug.  You'll welcome bedbugs,,,over these.  They are blood suckers too, but can cause this Chagas disease, and that's NOT GOOD.  I've seen em around here, but don't think i've been bitten by one.

 
The article was too long to post here, but look it up.  Also called cone nosed beetle.

OK drawing a blank, gettint tired, maybe bbl.

Sick Today

Bad day, did make it to the doc,,,i have pneumonia again.  Not much, but feel horrible, just wanted to let yall know.

What a Difference a Day Makes

WOOOOHOOOO... it's working right!!! Got another cc put into this band, and now,,,a few bites is all i can handle.  Just one cup of coffee was all i could get down too.  Made for a horrible nite tho.  Took my late pills, late, and that was after drinking one of those things that are meal replacement drinks, and o boy.  All nite, i had those bitter pills coming back up in my mouth.  Won't drink anything after 6 any more!!!  Was after 5 before that let up, had to lay on my back, otherwise the pressure would push that liquid up.  yukkkkkkkkk. Gonna have to watch my sugar carefully.  Tempted to just drop those pills.
Eating oatmeal now, and a few bites is all i can do.  Sue just showed up with some stew type stuff. YUMMM.

We drove thru a lot of the burned places on 71, and it makes u sick.  Then last nite, heard there is another fire going in Bastrop County again!  Was 25% contained late last nite, and no houses lost yet.  Read why so much of those places around 71, where we were, stays like it is.  It's in a habitat, and to just cut down a cedar tree, u have to have a permit.  Even in ur own yards.  They just changed it, after the fires, to,,,u could cut down cedars up to 3" without the permits.  Prices to pay, when u deal with the government. 

My concern is,,where do all the animals, birds, reptiles, etc go,,after these fires, that is, if they lived thru it?  No food, no protection, and i was told deer were showing up at peoples homes, hanging around now.  I remember an old Steve Irwin show about going thru rescuing all kinds of things, after a fire.  Does anybody do this here, now?  They do dogs and cats, pets, but not the wild ones.  Did see where some people were taking food out for the wild life.  They've lost their homes too.

Ok, off my band wagon, lol.  Quit trying to eat, will try again later. 

Think i really need to get up and make a few moves.  Like, shower, do a little vacuuming, (MAYBE),,wash dishes.  Need to go pick up another can of that expanding foam stuff, for the door.  Hope they have it at the $ store.  Everybody hates to go to Buttery's.

Might make it back later.  who knows.

OK,, New Door

From the inside, and trim not painted yet, waiting ‘til storm door is up.

This is open, showing porch post too.  See my funky color?,,,lololol,,,House is lite yellow, with that as trim.   Got the blinds ordered yesterday, and I did find the magnetic ones.

My font won’t stay this size, having to change it every time I make a new paragraph.
It’s 10;30, and I have 2 hours ‘til we leave for Austin.  All I have to do is eat and throw something else on.  And let me tell u men, I’m NEVER LATE.  Think my Mom made me this way, making us late everywhere we went, and I hated it.  If I’m late, there’s something wrong. lololol,,,got it?  hahahaha  I have leftovers from supper, a kid’s plate of chicken strips/baked potato.  These strips are like nothing I had ever seen.  They make their own, and they look like big fillets of chicken breast.  One is enough.  And they give u 2, on the child’s plate.  The only difference in a regular plate and this, is no salad, which I can’t eat lettuce anyway.  AND, it’s been on a recall too. lololol.  Let’s see, cantaloupe, ground beef, lettuce…What’s next?
Got a load of laundry in the dryer.  Don’t like to leave those running when I’m not here.  Used to all the time.  My washer had a seal break under the tub one time, just a few years ago, and I got the whole tub of water out in the floor, plus, all the wet clothes still in it.  MERCY!!! Did I ever have a mess to clean up.  So, not trusting them any more, I run them while I’m here. 
BB, I put MY pics up,,now,,,where’s the FISH?  hahahahaha.

PS ,,Really appreciate my new members.  Thx yall.

Good Ol Monday,,,Again

Got one door done Saturday.  Took 'til about 3, and i had some things i needed to do, so we were both glad to agree to do the other one next Saturday.  That will be the storm door.  I absolutely love my new one, with the windows on top.  Not sure what i'm going to put over them, but that's ok for now too.

 Hobo, i've found out i had rather pay by the hour.  It's higher paying by the job.  This is the same, but i'm paying by the job. lolol. Costing more.  But u know what, i'm sure not complaining, knowing what they had to go thru to make that door fit.  Maybe the storm door won't be too bad, since i had one put there way back.  The north wind hit it so hard a year or so ago, when i had company coming in thru it, it broke and even pulled out the closer thingy from the door jamb.  I'm having them put on a chain this time, to help with that.

Got out already and did a couple of errands, paid my utility bill.  It was down about 30.00 this month.

I'm really hating to keep reading that Texas might be in a drought 'til 2020.  Had enough!!!  Bro G told me yesterday that the reason our river has been lots higher was because they have made places quit pumping out above us, for private uses that don't comply with the drought conditions.

Gotta go to Austin tomorrow, but not leaving 'til around lunch time or so.  Apt is at 2:30.  Going with Sue.  She had her band loosened a few weeks ago, needs to check in.  I need mine tightened some.  I always enjoy the trips with them.  We're just going down there for that, and coming right back.  Yeaaaaa.  I  never have any reason for other stops, and it makes for a long trip when others do.  But,,i'm with them, won't complain.

Ok, time to do SOMETHING,,, eat for one thing,,not sure what.  Guess i'd better get up and look, see what i can find.

Best Bar in Texas

Tffnguy made me remember this,,,,talking about chickens in a pen.  This is honest to God the truth.  There was, heck, maybe still is, a bar in Austin, out there on Burnet Rd.  kept a chicken in a  pen, sitting on the bar.  On the bottom of that pen,,was a checkered pattern with numbers in them.  You could place ur bets and pay up, on any number on the bottom of that pen.  When the chicken pooped,,,that number won the pot.   The whole bar sat and watched,,,waited,,,hoped,,wished for that chicken to poop.  Then all the yells,,whooping and hollering.  Pen got cleaned out, started all over.  Made for a happy chicken.  Lots of food, lots of attention.

I barely made it to church at 11.  But,,,i did.  Very few people i knew.  Very very few oldies like me.  There at the beginning.  It was our 60th reunion.  Now folks,,, i was minus 5 when it started,,, hahahahaha.  Lots of memories in that little church where we all grew up.  Mom always got the prize for having the most kids there on Mother's Day.  Every year!  They had 3 of us, then later, decided to have 3 more.  In one 9 month period, our Mom, and the 3 oldest of us, had kids.  How's that for getting started on being ur own grandpa? lolololol..  Had a diabetic episode, and had to leave right after i ate lunch.  Had to get home to check it.,,,was 117, so it must have done a huge drop.  To be that after eating.  Didn't know if it had gone hi or lo,,,why i had to check it.  Was feeling weird.  Had snacked before i left, but then we didn't eat 'til about 1.  Sooo sad,,,i missed all those desserts!!! hahahahaha

Short Saturday

LOVE these temps!,,,Had to turn on a little heat this morning.  Without that darn AC running in this room, it's sooo quiet too.  The fan runs all the time, but it was a freebie, so i'm not gonna complain, but when i have to get another one, u can bet ur bottom dollar it will be one that cuts off when it's not cooling.

Got the 2 men working at the front, lol, hear them discussing the problems with making a new door fit into an old house.  That's why my bro B didn't want to do it.  These 2 put the door on here in the back, and had the same problem.  Glad they have patience. 

Heard a structure fire call about the time they showed up, on the street a block East of me, was in a bathroom in a trailer house.  Guess it didn't get out of control, which is amazing, because i never saw any smoke or anything. 

Took a while to get to sleep last nite, but then i did sleep good. 

Forgot about this, lololo.  Got off doing other things.
