Morning Almost Gone

How can i just dilly dally a whole morning away?  I do it almost every day, lol.  First,,coffee and paper, then blogs.  Those blogs take quite a while you know.  By the time i get mine done,,i'm into the afternoon.  Have to check the tv guide too, catch movies to record maybe.

Haven't heard any more from my son, gonna text him later.  It's still early morning there.  Does Disneyland have a closing time?  Never thot about it.

There was a rescue call out at Enchanted Rock yesterday, then it became 2.  One 13 year old had fallen about 30 feet down into a hole, took a couple of hours to get him out, had to go down into it with rope.  He wasn't seriously hurt, tho.  The other was an 80 year old man that was taken to the hospital in the next county.    There's lots of calls out there, lots of people this time of year.  My son came back on that road a couple of weeks ago, and,,,there was a line of traffic 2 miles long, waiting to get in.  When he finally got to a back road turn off, he turned!  lol.

Coming back that way after going  to F'burg for Mother's Day, couple of years ago, we saw a huge rattlesnake going across the road, and less than a mile on, there were 3 old people out of their car on the side of the road the snake was going to, taking pics of bluebonnets,,,and we laughed all the way home about, what if we had told them about that snake?,,and how fast could they have gotten back to their car.  We know better than to wade around in stuff like that, at this time of year especially.

Nephew doing a BBQ tomorrow, with the egg hunt for all the kids.  Think i'll make my 3 bean salad, which he loves, and for that i need to go to the store.  The longer it marinates, the better it gets.  I always leave the leftover for him, but NOT in my bowl any more,,,lost my largest tupperware one that way.  I got some bowls with lids at Walmart not too long ago, but i don't like them.  Of course, at any of our family things, there's games going on all the time.  Moon, poker, washers, horseshoes,,just about anything.  All our kids grow up learning all these, so all play.  Might have posted this before, but way back, when my g/dotter was about 10, we paired up a lot of people for a washer tourney, about 20 teams, put her with a man that had never thrown a washer, and his face showed what he thot about that,,NOT GOOD,,,UNTIL,,her first throw!  Against my bro B at that.  He put 2 in, but,,so did she.  That game ended with her and p losing by 1 point.  If he had made any, they would have won that tourney. Like my bro B, losing to his 6 year old, and just handing over that 100.00 bill.  We just have lots of fun, and kids are included.

Gonna get dressed and think about that store trip.  Yall tc, and

Glasses, Coincidences,,,

Reading about new glasses over there in a blog..  I stumbled around for a couple of years, before my parents sprung for glasses.  By then i was 14, but i was so amazed,,i could see!!!  Never took em off, except to sleep, and still like that now.  Tried contacts once, but they dried on my eyeballs, lol, sooo,,,stayed with glasses.  I would have hated keeping up with reading glasses anyway.  When i had the cataracts removed, i had the choice of being near or far sighted,,,i chose to stay like i am, near sighted.  Those reading glasses were why.  My mom had great eyesight, but when she finally had to use reading glasses, she sure didn't let anyone see her using them.  I walked in one day and she jerked them off so fast, don't know how she didn't break them...Guess being called 4-eyes made her ashamed.  This neighbor boy in class told the whole class that the only reason i was wearing them, was to make me look better,,,,hahahaha, he didn't intend that to be a compliment.

OMG,,was doing a text to send my son, telling them i was already there, DisneyWorld, ahead of them, when he called! hahahaha.  Wanting to know how to go to my Youtube videos.  The man they were sitting by on the plane is from Mason, a hop away, and is here eating at Coopers a lot... The vids have the snakes.  When my 2nd hubby and i went to Vegas, there was a man on the plane,,,from HERE,,with his gf, and they were going to the same hotel!....He came over one morning, saying someone had stolen his car at some big casino the nite before, so we took him out to look for it,,hahaha,,yep, it was still there, the only car in the parking lot,,,he just wasn't sober enough to find it the nite before..lololololol.  My son is feeling lots better, after those meds took effect.  Now i'm glad they went on, on their trip.  He said he had to go, they were getting off the plane.  Won't be back til late Monday.

I'm so glad i can quit taking the powdered and liquid forms of the 2 meds i take.  Also that chewable vitamin,,yukkk.  Quitting the one for acid reflux, don't think i'll need that either.  It didn't even help.  I never had that til the band.  She talked me into staying on the statin,,,even tho my cholesterol was l56 last check.  IF i can lose some weight, i WILL quit that too.

Don't know about yall, but i'm bored with this, so yall tc, and

I have finally adjusted to the time change, and slept good the last few nites.  I do not remember ever having this much trouble with it.

Talked to my son about 8 am,,and he's better, was going back to bed for a while.  I'm trying to remember to tell him they might need to check on their airline.  I don't know if it goes thru DFW or not.   I think they're leaving on an 8am flight, so that means they have to be there for security check in, etc, way earlier, which means leaving here in the wee hours...lol.  Gonna suggest they go on to Austin today, get a motel.  That would make it a lot better.

I always record movies for nites there's nothing on tv, and it's sure been slim pickins lately, for them.  Found just 1 today.  The ones on, are mostly repeats and i've seen them.  From Fri on thru the weekend, i use them.

My "about" quarterly check up is this afternoon.  Not sure how long since i had it, but,,guess i'll find out.  Since i had that lap band deflated, there's 2 prescriptions i need to change.  One from a powder that mixes with water, the other a liquid.  Sooooo glad to do that.

Mini Post Today

My son called about 11 am and just had talked to his doc.  She told him it was a bacteria causing all this, and was prescribing 3 meds, and would call Walmart.  I told him i needed to go, so i would pick them up.  Got there about noon, went straight to the pharmacy to tell them i was there to get them, and OMG,,she told me they didn't have this, (was a 3 in 1) and if she found it elsewhere in town it would cost 489.00!!!  But,, if it could be the 3 not combined, and generic, it would lower the price a lot!  I told her YES, and she called the doc, got the ok, and i went on about my business there.

 Got thru, went back over there to pick them up, and,,,,they weren't ready.  The one lady i had talked to, went to lunch, so nothing was done.  I had to wait til they got them ready, which took about 30 minutes.  The 3 cost 280.00,  i got them, grabbed a quick lunch,  TexMex, yall, and headed back.  Took the meds straight to him and he started them right then.  The doc had told him ASAP.  14 days worth.  Be SURE and take like ordered.  He was in bed, has had no sleep, pain in lower stomach.  These 3 meds will be 99.9% effective if taken like they're supposed to be, otherwise , would have to start over.  The potato soup i've been making him is about all he's been eating.  It just sits on a bad stomach, good, and he has some left.

So, that's the update, and i think by even in the morning, he should be better.  Gosh, they're leaving in the wee hours Fri morning.  So, yall tc, and i really appreciate all of the concern, and i will still keep you updated.

Weather?,,What Weather?

Watching the weather, we're not gonna get anything, typical.  My man is here mowing, gosh, those weeds grow fast.  I put the round up on some of them yesterday.  These showed up here a few years ago, and bloom out, have burrs that dry out and then,,if you step on them you will end up with your house full of them.  You just can't scrape them off your shoes.  Horrible things.  And they are everywhere, not just in my yard.  With all the traffic at my bro Bs house it was full of them.  I told him the only thing i could think of was weed and feed, and it worked pretty good.

Got my bill for car insurance, and i pay it in 2 payments of 179.50.  That's just what i have to have to get by with.  Liability and comp only.  That's for a year.  That and my house insurance are the 2 most expensive things i have.  No mortgages, just regular living expenses.  Gonna check when it comes due later, because i sure don't put many miles on it.  I think there's a new discount for that now.

Pics of the weeds i'm talking about.  Barely got them before they were mowed down.
Weren't any doodle bugs yet.

Jojo was talking about coyotes there in town.  They are, here, too.  My son rode his bicycle around during the late nite hours, and would see them.  What i really miss, tho, are the armadillos.  Back in the 80s, someone came to town and offered 50 cents each for them.  I guess that just about wiped them out around here.  My son told everybody, he'd better not hear of anybody killing them for that!  I blame the fire ants for the loss of the cottontails.  Then, there's a LOT of stuff gone out of the river.  Like, mussel shells, crayfish.  Used to find the tiny mussel trails in the sand,  and you could find them that way.  No more, not there.  Like, doodle bugs,,lololol,,,still have those, they EAT ants.  We, as kids, used to have contests, to see who could find the smallest ones.  Used a straw or piece of grass to make them move.  I was in my 30s before i knew they turned into a dragon fly like thing.  And that grub worms turned into June bugs.

I will update later, after my son sees the doc.  He hasn't thrown up any more blood, because he wouldn't let himself do it, but it shows up in urine and stools.  He called earlier, said he hadn't slept but a couple of hours in 2 nites, was going to nap til the appointment.

Made myself some chicken salad this morning, and just had a sandwich, with a few frozen fries i baked.  Trying to unload my freezer, and it's getting on down now.

UPDATE

He was gonna whip their asses, if they killed armadillos.  He came by after doc's visit, had 2 different medications, and 2 more prescriptions to fill.  Took all kinds of blood tests and will know tomorrow about an ulcer.  I didn't know they could do that with a blood test.  She's treating it as one.

More More More

 

This is a big creek with a slab, just west of town in a development, that still has water.

And,,a century plant.

I don’t know what these blue flowers are, but so pretty.

For DD, pics of paint brush, mixed in with the bluebonnets.

I kept seeing this, there’s some across the street from me here in town too, and it looks like someone had just splashed paint out.  It is dead grasses blown over, but, unusual.

And,,, the new community center, with the inside arena.  Has to be ready by the time of the crawfish open, and I’m not sure of the date, but think it is the 20th-21.  I would think it needed 24-7 to do that.

My son called me about 6 pm, because he had just thrown up quite a bit of fresh blood.  I told him if it happened again to go to the emergency room!!!  It didn’t, but I worried all night, called him later, and then this morning.  The shots he has to take for his back, causes this nausea almost every time, but not the bleeding.  Almost has to be an ulcer, and I told him to get to a doc TODAY.  They are planning on going to CA THURS!!!  I will update later. 

Otherwise,,nothing going on…yall tc, and

Fishing Time

 

Almost could feel the burn one of those kids was gonna get.  Didn’t take em long to get that thing in the water and off they went upriver. 

The camping lady is still out there, lol, among all those jeep people.  But they were mostly gone yesterday.  She said she had found a job at the 7-11 here.  Hope she can get outa that place before the crawfish open comes up in about 3 weeks.  Biggest event here.  There’s a huge team roping competition, golf tourny, and tons of crawfish.  Goes on for 2 days.  I didn’t even go out there last year.  They had fenced off the park so that you couldn’t even park to listen to the zydeco music,,which was the only reason I went in the first place.  They bring in one really good band for that.  And of course,,country too, but,,,I leave.  Maybe with that new arena built across the hiway, maybe the crowd won’t be so bad.   There’s a huge washer tourny too, but I think B has quit running that, and playing too.,  He and a partner used to win those all the time.   Read my post of 3-17-11 about one of his games,,,lolololol.

And yeah, I know it’s April Fools day.  Don’t pay any attention to that any more.  Just change my calendar,,,lol DD,,,NOW, it’s a new month…..

I’m getting outa here for a while,,,bbl, so yall tc, and
