Rescue,,,got Rescued

  This is who I call Rescue.

Yeah,, on my computer desk,,,not making too much of a mess tho.  You can’t tell how long his tail is,,it’s at least 3” longer than normal.  And you can’t tell how big his feet are.  They are huge.

J and I went out to the park yesterday,  and it was so nice.  He liked the sun on his back.  3 MORE WEEKS!!!  His surgery is the 31st.  Finally!  Has to be there at the spine hospital by 9 AM, further instructions following by mail.  Counting the days now.   Not sure if I will stay down there or not.,  His gf is gonna be there, so I probably won’t stay but 1 day.  If it’s like all the others, he will be up and walking by the next day.  He will have to wear a brace for a few months, but,,,NO MORE PAIN.  The surgery gives instant pain relief.  The steroid shots he got were not from the bad batch, found that out too, tho I already knew that.  He’s in my living room on the floor, on a pallet.  lol,,,I think Rescue is with him.  That cat is SMART.  Had cats always, but had 2 before this one, that were super intelligent. 

Gonna get up to about 80,,,feel good weather.  Lots of south wind.  We’re going back to heat.

X Those Beans,,,,

J has already called, saying he would be here in a bit with the breakfast tacos.  Hope he's half way on time, sure am getting hungry.

I didn't get to sleep last nite til after 1,,,rolled, tossed, got up for a while.  I will NEVER eat beans with bar b q any more.  I was so bloated, i took some tums.  They have been doing me that way for a long time, but ate them at noon, and then paid for it half the nite.

About 5 yesterday, i was coming in from the park and heard the bridge was blocked with some kind of farm equipment and a bus.  There was traffic backed up forever,,,lol.  I stopped by the little park at the South end and just waited, had my book.  After a bit this duelie came off pulling a wide something and the traffic got to moving.  BUT,, there was a cop waiting on him at the end of the bridge.  Then later a highway patrol showed up too.  The guy didn't have a valid dl, the farm thing had nothing on the back to be on the highway, and it was too wide for a 2 lane bridge.  Ended up he went to jail, a wrecker showed up, but not sure if they hauled it off or not, i left.  He had a little dog with him and i guess his gf was traveling with him, cause she pulled up right after he stopped.  Guess she took the dog.  He was from Paris Tx,,,lol, where i have a lot of kin.   Was doing good to have gotten this far with it.  He also had a couple of warrants too.  Is that dumb,,,dumb and dumber?  Heard a lot on my scanner.

J showed up, and we ate those tacos,,,yummm.  He had me look up this steroid injection stuff that i had heard about last week.  There were 2 bad batches sent out that could cause a fungal meningitis.  I told him he didn't get that with his injections, but we're gonna ask about it when the doc's office calls back,,,,i already had a call in to see if they had gotten all they needed with his tests.  Nothing to do with that, but we will ask.  His gf and dad were in a panic about them.  I told him he would know if he had that stuff.  And yeah, he had some of the symptoms, but,,,goes with his back problem.

He went out to get his 2 pills that are due now, and must have gotten lost,,,lol.  Not really, he's messing with Rescue.  Told BB i'd put a pic on here as soon as i can.  The ones i took were with my camera and bad batteries, so not doing them.

Another Boring Day

Almost noon, and ,,, nothing accomplished,,,  I've eaten my waffles, and washed dishes,,,that's it.  Both cats have been in and eaten, one at a time.  Rescue didn't want to come in for a while, so i didn't chase him,,lol, if he's hungry enough, he'll come in.  He was acting kinda scared,, have no idea why.  He finally made it.  He was feeling frisky all day yesterday, outside,, he's still just a big kitten.  I keep telling J to find him a home.  He'll run and bounce off J's side when he's playing,,,no claws.  He did that in the house too, bouncing off the walls and things,,,lol... He lands with all 4 feet doing that.

Out of all the movies on this weekend,,i found one yesterday, and one today!  To record.  I even watched a western from yesterday,,,last nite.,,,,Buck.  Wasn't much to it, but i kept on til it finally ended, at my bed time. 

I did go out to the park for a while yesterday,, was nice to just sit out there in my car, and read.  J was here most of the day, and we both thot we would go to Bs, but never caught him at home.  J's gf was busy most of the day, but got thru by mid afternoon.  B gets antsy when he's home alone,,,lol.  I know he was there by the time the Longhorns came on.  

My yard was mowed like,,,a week ago, and it already needs it again.  Gonna just let it go for a while, maybe catch it for the last time by then.  My windows on the N are wanting to fog up today!  It's still cold, 48*.  And that wind is still blowing too.

OK,,,enough of nothing,,,lol,,,shower time.  Yall tc, and

Lost a Week

Got up today and started shutting windows...  Was 61 and north wind.  I let the cats in one at a time to eat, then each wanted back out.  I think they like it.  I cleaned out my heater yesterday, and then lit it.  It's doing good.  Those heaters have the biggest pilot lite i've ever seen.,,,about 3" long, and it puts out heat just by itself.  There's no adjustment.  Boy, can they heat up a place!  Mine is small, like the burner part is about 10-12" wide, and that's all that's needed.

J and i went over to Marble Falls yesterday, just a quick trip, 2 stops.  He had to make one stop, and then a quick stop at Walmart.  Gonna talk toilet tissue here,,,lolololol.  The only kind i like, i can't get here, so that was one reason for Walmart.  hahahaha,,,It's Charmin, strong mega rolls.  It's that mega part i can't get here.  Those double rolls keep me changing all the time!  OK,,,said my say on that,,,hahahaha.

He called 45 mins ago, saying he was bringing breakfast tacos, in about 20 mins,,,I triple that, but i sure am getting hungry.  These are soooo good. 

Now,,,Back at the end of Sept.,,,the last Wed, he had all the pre-op tests done that his Doc in SA wanted, and  they were supposed to fax the results to SA.  We waited a week, heard nothing, and called SA to find out the status, hoping they had a date for the surgery.  Well guess what!!! They hadn't even gotten them!!  So he has lost a week on this.  The nurse in SA called and got them,,we hope,,was told so.  By the place here.  We will call again Monday to be sure.  We don't know why they did this,,,the doc here hasn't called back so we can see what he says. 

Nap time,,yall tc, and

I Made It

I still can't believe how much better J is feeling, taking those BP pills.  He called about 2 hours ago, asked if i had eaten,,told him no, had just got up, so he said he'd bring some stuff,,be here in about 30 .  Well,,, i ate and he's still not here!,,,I did call and tell him,,,lol.

Had to have a little heat this morning.  Was 52 outside, so i turned on a couple of burners on my stove.  Just those will heat up this area in a few minutes.

Did i tell you i threw Rescue out a few days ago.  He looked all around, found the opening to go under the house, so all's well.  I just don't do litter boxes any more.  Jude quit a long time ago.  J saw a chicken hawk fly across the street to a little tree by the porch where he was, but he took off for under the house,,,lololol.  Guess he knew what that was too.  He's at home outside now, so i don't keep him in all the time.  And last nite was Jude's turn,,,  Jude is still scared of him,,and Rescue's wanting to play, but Jude doesn't understand.

Fixing to go to the library, and pay my utility bill.  J's out the door taking pics .  I'll show you some of them,,maybe ,,, if they will work.  He has one of those really expensive cameras.

Now, BB,,,if all of this stuff of mine isn't boring, just why do you think yours is?  lololololol  I've said the same thing,,,gonna quit, but,,taking a little time off helps a lot.

So Yall tc,,,and

BOOOO!!!

Having my waffles right now.  Thot my drain in the kitchen sink was stopped up, and i was running hot water,,thinking it was grease,,,and i took the stopper out, and there was a piece of potato peeling laying over it...lololol.

J said he'd be by in about an hour, so that means 2 or 3.  Maybe he's still feeling better, he was running an errand for his dad.  I've never known a man that can be punctual.

I was so bored yesterday.  I went out to the park, finished the little bit left of my book,  went back out later.  It was like i just couldn't sit in the house.  Don't know why Sundays seem to do me that way, long days, and lonely.  Yeas ago it would be a huge crowd, usually in Mom and Dad's living room, watching football all afternoon.  That was always a fun day.  Family is too scattered now, not anything like it used to be.  I told my bro a couple of days ago, the kids growing up now, will never have the sense of family like we do.  Maybe it's been going away for a long time, tho.

My friend Sue and her hubby are getting a divorce, a very friendly one.  I have to smile,, he comes for supper, puts his paycheck in their account,  they're just living in different places now.  Maybe they're doing it for the financial help she can get, being single.  She's on disability already.

I know these are lots shorter now, but there's just nothing to write about.  Soooo,,,yall tc, and

Another Month GONE!

I think the rain is over, and my gage has about 2 1/4".  Not bad.  Got up today and had to shut the windows,,that north wind blowing.  Made for good sleep,,,

Gosh, i sure miss J on the weekends.  Getting used to him being around.  He is feeling like,,80% better the last 2 days,.  Could that blood pressure med do that?  How?  His back isn't locking up now, like before, just once yesterday.  By the time it was taking effect, he started feeling lots better, and the pain better too.  I don't know what it is, my machine, used once, doesn't work!  That's what i get for buying a cheapie one.

I drove out to the park yesterday and fed the geese.  There  was this huge bird sitting on the dam, and i think it was a whooping crane.  Was raining so i didn't even try to take a pic, and my binoculars were in the trunk.  I'll go back today and see if it might be there again.

The lakes are up a little, hope more in the next few days.  Missed what they said about Buchanan, but Lake Travis was up about a foot.

I just turned my calendar!!! Now i have to do it again!  Yall tc, and
