Yesterday was my mom and dad's 56th wedding anniversary.
I think that's beautiful, and wonderful! Happy anniversary, mom and dad!
I'm cooking Jambalaya.
It's simmering as I type......... the house smells great.
We-Ping left a bird on the mat at the front door. I think it's a gift from her to us.
I thanked her, and asked her not to bring anymore.
I had my hair cut and my eye brows done today.
When you get your hair done it always seems to put a little extra pep in your walk.......at least it does for me.

I cleaned out my semi finished basement today. My driveway is filled with old crap jsut waiting on the garbage man or the guy in the old truck who cruises the neighborhood on garbage night looking for treasures, or crap to clean up and then sell.
I also cleaned out two basement closets and boxed stuff I didn't want to throw away.
I swept the cobwebs from the basement ceiling, and swept the floor.
There's still a lot of work to do down there but I made a good dent in it.
I got up early this morning and mowed the lawn before it got too hot outside.
All in all it was a productive day.

monday
I feel good. I think the Thyroid medicine is kicking in....I almost feel normal again.
I have more energy than I've had in well over a year.
Hopefully it's here to stay!
It's 98 degrees today. Mix the high temperature with high humidity and it feels like it's 105.
Yesterday there was a Gay Day Parade at Fountain Square in Cincinnati.
I wanted to go to honor my best friend who had passed away but I was still in the hospital.
Daughter and two of her friends went though..........it made me happy that they went and had a great time. They brought home bunches of colorful condoms. :O)
I thought a lot about my friend yesterday. I swear to you he was the funniest guy I've ever known. You couldn't help but love him. Thinking of him makes me smile.
We-Ping and Mr. Bojangles are doing well.
I have extra water bowls outside for them, and make them come in more often because of the heat.
The kitchen floor must be cool. That's where they go and sprawl out when they come inside.
Boyfriend took daughter and I out for dinner this evening.
Boyfriend had steak. Daughter hd salad. I had broiled shrimp and salad. It was pretty good, and we had a nice time.

sunday
I was admitted to the hospital via the ER Saturday.
I woke feeling like I had something the size of a plum stuck in my throat. That combined with the recent abnormal EKG, and the heaviness I was feeling in my arms, scared me. SO I went........and since my EKG was still abnormal they admitted me.
After all was said and done, the cardiologist thinks the whole throat thing is gastric reflux. He thinks the heaviness in my arms is caused by anxiety...................and the abnormal EKG, though concerning, is not life threatening.
I follow up with the cardiologist I met in the hospital one day this week for the stress test that my insurance denied. He said he'd take care of the insurance company.
SO that's that.......
I bought a newer car this past Friday.
I've been looking for one for at least half a year,
I didn't really want to buy one but sis will need my old one to get to school this fall, and to get to work.
I wanted a newer used car with low miles, leather interior, sun roof, and in my price range. I'm cheap though.........I was beginning to believe that what I wanted, especially price wise, did not exist. Friday on a whim I stopped at the place son owrks & found a car that had everything I wanted except that it was a Ford. Son even said he was going to call me about that car but didn't because he knows I don't like Fords.
It was a compromise I could live with though.
It's a Ford Fusion. It's cute.
They gave me sons employee discount, and didn't charge me all those silly fees.
And I insisted that they knock two points off the interest rate offered to me. They agreed.
Over all I feel like I got a good deal. (don't rain on my parade, Billy!)

stuff
My computer is fixed.
It had several viruses and other crap.
The computer guy fixed it. Boyfriend put better virus protection on it.........
Last night and today daughter and I moved her stuff to the big bedroom / her big brothers old bedroom.
We re stained the wood work around the windows and doors, threw away some furniture, packed away a lot of her high school stuff, exchanged stuff from one room to the other, and cleaned all the walls and windows.
We also shopped for new sheets and comforter set, a new lamp, and a cool Marilyn Monroe picture.
Now both upstairs bedrooms are clean, purged, and organized. It looks good. ( I know the paneling isn't very pretty. I don't have it in me to paint it, and I'm afraid of what I might find if I remove it.)
It was fun spending time with daughter.

happy 4th!
I worked today.I get paid double time for my 12 hours of work. That makes me happy.
Daughter took all the Christmas decorations that I've been storing in the spare bedroom out of the spare bedroom and put them in the storage room by the basement. That makes me smile.
Boyfriend had steaks grilling when I got home from work. He even had an iced drink ready for me when I got home. It made me smile. :O)
Scott the maintenance man at my work is still asking me where his box of taffy is from my trip to Colorado even though he knows I didn't buy him any. He's also still making fun of me for serving hamburgers and hot dogs at daughters graduation party instead of something more expensive.
He cracks me up.
WHen I got home from work Mr. Bojangles was waiting on the side porch for me. WePing was waiting on the front porch. They always make me smile.

saturday
It's my weekend off of work.
I got up early this morning for an hour or two and then went back to bed.
I slept until 7 p.m. I wish I was normal again.......
Now I'm having a soft drink and pickles.
I've been craving pickles for a few months.
I eat a few jars of them a week. Weird huh?
I've been following the Casey Anthony murder trial.
I think she's guilty of pre meditated murder. She did searches on her computer for how to make chloroform. She's the last person to be seen with her daughter. Her car trunk smelled like human decomposition and the carpeting in the trunk had fatty acids consistent with those found during the decomposition of a human body. Also found in the trunk were larvae that feast on rotting flesh. Chloroform was found in the trunk. There was a hair from her daughters head in her trunk that had a death band. She did not report her daughter missing and only told her mother the daughter was missing 31 days later and that was only after her mother called the police to try to get answers on where her grand daughter might be. After the police were notified that Casey's daughter was missing, Casey lied to them about the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of her daughter. When the skeletal remains of the child were found, the skull had masking tape covering where there once was a nose and a mouth. The young girls remains were found very near the home where she and her mother lived with the grandparents.........
I think she's guilty.
I don't think the jury will find her guilty of pre meditated murder.
I predict a hung jury.
My computer isn't working.
As soon as I log on, my computer freezes.
I've done everything I know to do to fix it.
