Wow, our phone service went out on Tuesday nite, and just got back yesterday about 1 PM. It's Verizon here, and a tech called this morning asking if my number was correct, so they're matching numbers with correct names now.... He said it was some kind of software crash, and they were STILL working on it, had been since Tuesday nite, 24 hours a day. I also asked if there was going to be some kind of compensation, and he said call in about that. I used all my cell phone minutes, even having to call 800 numbers, and had to buy more. All this side of town, N of the river, were out. THANK GOD, my internet stayed on. Takes 2 wires for phone, just 1 for internet,,,,in connection... was told that before. It's kinda horrifying how much we are dependent on these things now.
I'm no better nor worse,,, just getting by until I know what's gonna be done, and not even sure the doc will be able to tell me that on Friday. I DO have high hopes of maybe getting a shot in there to help, but he might have to wait and see an MRI report. The other doc, did fix my wrist with the injections, and there is no pain there now. He just doesn't do spines. As far as the therapy, between the phones out (doc's offices here) and my doc not in the office until Wednesdays, a holiday, last week was a lost cause.
Our forecast has a chance of rain, 30%, tomorrow. I'm keeping my hopes up. Not able to get out and water anything. Don't care about the weeds, but my trees are precious,,,have to have all the shade I can. In case you don't know, it's Texas. That means the weather makes liars out of forecasters,,,lol.
Think i'm gonna doze for a while,,,lol, nothing else to do. Did get a load of laundry mostly done,,gonna put in the dryer now.

Nothing New
Nothing has happened since last Friday. Thot I could call my doc here this morning, and the phones are out,,,was told they would be fixed by TOMORROW! 11 AM. Even 911 service is out. All this part of town and I don't know how much more. So my cell isn't helping in this situation. The doc's offices are out too. I check every once in a while, see if maybe it's back.
I figured out a way to help me sleep. That's by bending my knees and laying on either side. Somehow that relieves the pinched spot in my spine. Gonna try not to take that pain pill today. Might have to just sit all day tho. I was so hoping I could get that therapist here today.
I've looked all this up on the internet, but don't want to do something wrong.
My son went to the library yesterday and picked me up 2 books, and took my utility bill to pay. My sis came and cleaned my house and changed my bedding. She's the clean freak, lol. Washes her walls all the time! She said she had had a mouse get into her pantry, and had to throw out all that food stuff. Ended up trapping 3! Hope she got em all. She even cleaned my ceiling fan and omg, it needed it.
Ok, gonna try to cut my hair and shower,,,so yall tc, and

Not Good
No easy fix for me. I'm to see Js spine doc,,,lol. In 2 weeks. I was so hoping I could get something done today. He did tell me it's not bursitis, and thinks it's in the lower spine, why I have to see the spine doc. Meanwhile, i'm going to get therapy, and maybe that will help some, until we know exactly what I have to do.
I woke up last nite just before 3, hurting, and could never get into a position where I didn't, after that. I finally went to my chair, kicked back, and dozed for another hour.
We got back about 1;30, so I had a nap. lol, need another one.
TV sucks!! At this time of year. I haven't even found any movies to record. Watched one last nite even tho after a couple of minutes, knew I had seen it before. Then, most of the ones I've recorded, I've seen too.
Well, yall tc, and

Hard Day's Nite
I have an appointment to see the same Doc I saw with my wrist,,,on Friday at 11AM. J is gonna drive me. I'm about ready just to be put to sleep..
His new office is out on E 71 about 30 miles, and he uses that instead of an office here. I just didn't like that other one, and this one did fix my wrist great.
I woke up about 5 this morning, and couldn't get into any position that didn't hurt. I finally got up and got into my chair, kicked back and slept til 8.
After that big fire, and they're still getting calls to put out hot spots on it,,,there was another one the next day, not quite as bad tho. Then, one out close to my g/dotter's house and they're gone. No structures were burned, tho.
When I was in the 3rd grade, our house burned, and that leaves you always worried when you hear the call for the fire dept. The house was burned up in the attic, and people passing by, stopped and took everything out, so we didn't lose anything, but still. Well lost a place to live. We were renting so we had to find another place. I use all precautions and always have. One time, we were eating supper, and the fire alarm started beeping. I wasn't cooking, so I got up to look around, and when I opened my youngest son's bedroom door, OMG! A huge box was flaming right by the window curtains. You talk about everybody running! Hubby filled a pan and threw water on it, J grabbed a big towel, wet it, and threw it over the fire. And that's what put it out. It scared my son so bad, he wouldn't even sleep in that room for days. I still don't know how it did it. He had a candle burning, setting in a metal pan on top of the box, and somehow, the wick got out and caught the box on fire. Yeah, I keep smoke alarms. We had insurance that paid for the little bit of damage.
Nap time, so yall tc, and

Got the Patches
They are Lidoderm, and maybe they are helping a little. I need to get them in the right place, and not sure where that is. They are like, 3x5, so they cover a large area. Nearly took the skin off, taking it off after the 12 hours,,,lololol. 12 on, 12 off.
There's a grass fire out W of town, and I just don't know how the volunteer firemen dress in those suits and do this. Bro G retired a couple of yeas ago and he sure hated those uniforms. (from that).
I need to go to the grocery store, but,,,, right now I need a nap worse. Also need to fill up my car, do that when it gets down to 1/2. Don't know why, just do. I guess I like to get in it and go, without having to put gas in to do it.
Well, that grass fire just got bigger, they're calling for more help. Won't be going out that way when I get out later.
I've been watching for movies to record, and there just hasn't been any. And the ones I've been watching, I've seen before, not recognizing the name when I record them. It's like books, never remember the name, and rarely the Arthur. I put a tiny mark in the front cover so I can see.

OOO NOOOOOO
Woke up during the nite and in pain again! Guess I moved wrong and now I have a set back. Sitting here right now with an ice pack. This is the same as a torn muscle, with set backs and everything. I've gotten by with just one pain pill a day, but now,,,who knows? lol.
I was feeling so much better yesterday I even got in my car, almost pain free doing that, and went to the Sonic for a strawberry shake,,, didn't know they were 1/2 price. Was the 20th the start of summer?,,and when is the summer solstice? Today or tomorrow? It doesn't show on my calendar.
Hunter Hayes was on the Voice this week, but way back, lol, he's all of 20 now,,,,he was on Youtube with Hank Williams Jr. AMAZING!! Look it up. Knew right then that kid was going places. And i'm so glad he has. (Watching him on Today now)
Thinking about all this hot weather where the weather forecast is the same, no need to watch, I use this method. Since weeks seem lots shorter than months, I think of it as 9 more weeks til it will cool off. Weeks fly by for me, so,,,gosh, before I know it, it's almost Sept. And yeah, it's still hot, but like I told B, my bro, there's a good chance of a cold front. One year way back, and the only reason I remember it, is on the last day the swimming pool was open a norther had blown in, bringing the temps down to the 60s, and the kids just HAD to go to the pool. hahahahah,,, they were the only ones and the life guard was walking around with a wrap on. They had to stay in the water because their teeth chattered when they got out. They didn't last long that day. lolololol. So that's why I look forward to Sept. There's a chance.
Meantime, I really don't mind staying in and cool. Still have a good book, my games, and lots to do. So yall tc, and

Still Waiting,,
On my doc's call, that I thot I would get this morning. Since she missed a day, yesterday, she's having to do makeup.
All the years I worked in offices, no one else could do my work. It was there waiting til I got back. I never took more than 3 days vacation at a time, and included a weekend. That was one reason why. The last office job I had, I worked 4 1/2 days, putting in 40 hours. I was on salary, but still.
My son (after I called him) came by and got my list and went to the store for me. I haven't been out of the house since last Fri or Sat. Not that i'm missing anything and it's so darn hot anyway. He picked up a rotisserie chicken for me and mercy, was it good. I had a big container of potato salad to go with it. Made me feel like I actually had a good meal. I keep French bread in the freezer, sliced, so just stick a couple of pieces in my toaster oven, good to go.
I'm getting those darned black beetles back in the house again. Woke up a few nites ago, felt something crawling on my arm, and yep, that was it. Wish there was some way to keep them out of my house. I've tried spraying around inside and outside the walls, but here they come.
See yall later, tc, and
