Today is the last day of my vacation.
I stayed in bed most of the day reading a book, watching TV, and reading blogs.
I have a fever blister on my bottom lip.
It hurts to smile. :O) (ouch!)
I'm kind of looking forward to getting back to work.
On the other hand........why can't I just win the lottery already!
I went to the doctor a few days before Christmas for a routine
check up. My B/P was 110/62 (Perfect)
He agrees training to run a marathon is a good idea.
Not sure how we got on the subject.
I think he baited me.
Now I can't seem to quit thinking about it.
He really pisses me off some of the time.

Xanax anyone?
We had a showing of our house yesterday.
I haven't heard anything from the realtor. So I'm guessing they didn't like it.
I feel a little insulted each time we have a showing with no offers........I also end up feeling a little relieved.
It's beautiful outside.
We got about four inches of snow during the night.
I'm a little worried about oldest son. He went out to The Shack ( it's a shack they built on the property they hunt.) last evening for the night. They built a wood burning stove in the shack.. I worry about carbon monoxide poisoning, and fire.
My older sister looked like shit on Christmas. She was frying on some kind of drug.......I hear she uses Heroine and Adderall............her son is also using. I hear he's using Heroine. He had a wild far away look in his eye mixed with a look of paranoia...........lsot in his own head. I'm 99 % sure they're using together. I can't begin to imagine using drugs with my child........or anyone elses for that matter.
I had a little bit of hope for her a few weeks ago........she sounded clean. And maybe she was...... But she's not now............... she looks like a strung out junkie.
I have no doubt that she will die. If you could see her you'd understand.
Dr. Drew says it's much more difficult for older people to quit drugs. I forget his explanation for why.........................................
Maybe there's hope for my nephew (this is not the nephew I wrote about a few blogs back)..........it's sad seeing them like that...........................................which brings me to my daughter....................so the school counselor, who daughter says is a psychiatrist spent time talking to daughter...................................................she concluded daughter has ADD without hyperactivity............................she referred her to a psychologist......................................I took her to the psychologist who reviewed daughter's testing for learning disabilities done while daughter was in high school.....................and she talked with daughter for quite some time..........................she said to me, with daughters permission, she believes daughter may have mild ADD (that's what she said) with an anxiety disorder. She believes an anti anxiety medication will help with the anxiety which will help daughter to focus in school.
I don't have much faith in the psychiatric community. They're quick to pull out a prescription pad...............and in general I think they're full of shit ....................with the exception of Dr. Drew, and he's not really a psychiatrist.......................................................................but I worry about daughter ending up self medicating. this whole school struggle thing has been going on since the third grade. Something has to give.............................................................................................we had the psychologist send her notes/recommendations to daughters doctor...............she still goes to her pediatrician.......because she can until she 23,and because we don't think about finding her an adult doctor until she gets sick..............................................so we'll talk to him and see what he says.........................................................I kind of feel lost as to what to do........................................................most ADD and ADHD children have behavior problems........Sis has never had problems with behavior in school or at home...............................................the only thing unusual I remember about her from she was a little child was she loved to climb..........more so than other children....................so I'd take her to all those wall climbing things where they'd harness you in and you'd climb..............she loved it............................................................................and she had one horrible grand mal seizure where she turned grey and stopped breathing for what felt like an eternity............while I was on the phone with 911 I remembered I was a nurse, threw the phone and ran to give daughter mouth to mouth...............and one year to that day exactly, she had another seizure...........................................none since that I'm aware of...................she wasn't sick either of those times........didn't have a fever or anything......................not sure why she seized.............neither is her doctor.........................I don't know what to do.............................................I don't want her on drugs....................I don't want her to end up self medicating........................................and I must say that I still believe her anxiety is a result of her difficulties learning rather than the other way around.......................................but I hate the thought of her being on ADD medications....................... somethings got to give.
We need help.
Good help.

happy birthday nephew!
I did a double shift yesterday and Saturday.
After a double shift I usually feel a little hung over/tired the next day. It's how I fee lnow.
We had a pot luck at work yesterday.........and even though work
was full moon, off the hook crazy busy, I had a good time with my co-workers.
When I clocked out last night, I was very happy and looking forward to having
the next 7 days off work!
My house is clean and looks beautiful with the tree and decorations.
The presents are wrapped and under the tree.
I bought some great looking steaks and shrimp for dinner with sons, daughter, and boyfriend
this evening. After dinner we will open gifts and then play poker. I'm looking forward to it!
Al lI have left to do is bake a couple pumpkin pies, and make a pasta salad to take to moms house Christmas day.........and make a cheese cake for this evening.
Today is my oldest nephews birthday.
He was born when I was just a teenager................it was the first time I felt that
maternal love. I loved him so much........with all my heart and soul......... we spent
so much time together. We camped, went swimming, fished........
He loved going to Star Wars movies. We went so often that he'd finish the actors sentences annoying
the other movie goers. I thought it was cute, and funny.
Eventually I married and had children of my own.................and his parents cleaned up their lives and became good parents........................I stopped over his house last night. He lives a block away from me..........a cute little brick/with rock house that he bought 8 or 9 years ago..................he lives with his dog, Monty..................................so I stopped at his house to give him a birthday gift.................................it was a tee shirt with a picture of Yoda wearing a Santa hat........and the caption said "An Elf I am not." Reminded me of him......I figured he could sleep in it......................................so I stopped by his house hoping he'd be home/awake......he was........with a house full of company........:O)..................................nephew and I had a nice chat. I told him how he'd annoy the other movie goers..........he cracked up........................I love him ( I hugged him tight and told him I love him) and regret not maintaining a clsoe relationship with him.............

my friend
My best friend passed away in May of 2008.
Last night I dreamed about him.
In my dream I turned, because I felt compelled to, and I looked up and off in the distance.
I saw his face. He was smiling at me. A huge smile. I could feel the happiness that he was feeling. I smiled back at him.I was excited to see him,and happy that he was happy. He winked at me and then I winked at him.
So that was it.........that was my dream.
It felt good seeing him. I smile when I think about it.

We-Ping
My cat, We-Ping.
The vet says he's not fat. I think he looks like a big ham.
He has the softest fur I've ever felt on a cat........and the most beautiful bright blue eyes.....even though he's cross eyed. He likes to drink from the bathroom sink faucet, and sleep in the bathroom sink. He has a special fondness for my oldest son. We-Ping is not typically a physically affectionate cat, except with oldest son.
I love this lil guy.........
wed. i think
the last 9 days i've worked seven 14 hour shifts, spent 5 hours cleaning mom and dads family room,their downstairs bathroom, and i put up their christmas tree. i recruited 3 of my 4 sisters to meet me at mom and dads house a couple days after cleaning their family room to help me clean the rest of their house. i just couldn't do it all by myself. they showed up (i was so happy)(mom and dad left to run errands and such while we cleaned) and we cleaned our butts off. but it was fun. my sister who is a year older than i am is a little ocd. so it took her forever to clean moms bathroom. and that's okay because i knew it would be the cleanest room in the house. my other sister, the one a year younger than me cleaned dads bathroom in under 10 minutes. i sent her back in to recheck her work. she was like "it's fine! it's clean! so when she went on a lunch run, me and my second oldest sister re cleaned dads bathroom. laughing the whole time, and trying to get it finished before other sister returned. it took the 4 of us about 6 hours to clean the rest of the house and to put up the rest of the christmas decorations.
whne mom and dad came home, sisters and i went over the christmas dinner menu with mom. every year she insists on doing all the cooking. i usually stay behind after the christmas celebration and wash dishes. i told mom no dishes this year, and that she is not doing all the cooking..........we would all 25 of us eat on paper plates, drink from paper cups, and eat with plastic forks..........PERIOD!......................and i told sisters we'd each bring a dish and a desert in a serving bowl or pan that we'd each take home that night to wash in our own homes. it took some convincing to get mom to agree, but with a recent episode of an acute congestive heart failure leaving her feeling very tired, and short of breath, she agreed to everything but said she was still going to bake a ham, a pork tenderloin, and make some roast beef with gravy. I told her i'd wash 3 pans, 3 knives, and three serving spoons/forks............anything else was going in the garbage. she agreed......and laughed, cause she's relieved i think.........
while i was cleaning the family room and bathroom mom's internal defibrillator alarmed...(it sounds like a police siren coming from her chest).......with her having just gone through an acute congestive heart failure, having the alarm go off freaked me out on the inside. mom panicked and her first instinct was to get up to run up the stairs to get her doctors phone number........and she was pale as can be. dad became very quiet, fear all over his face. made me feel sad for them......
i made mom sit, checked her pulse, reassured her she was okay......................i had no idea what was going on though, and i wasn't sure if she was okay or if the defibrillator was going to shock her or if she was going to pass out or owrse..........................................................when all was said and done, the defibrillator wire had cracked and needed to be replaced. mom decided against replacing it, until she changed her mind. so she had surgery yesterday morning, and came home this evening. she is doing great..............................
i didn't ask one of my sisters to help with the cleaning because she's not permitted at mom and dads unless she is working the 12 step program and clean of drugs.
i call her now and then to say hello, and let her know i love her. i don't ask questions. i just don't............people using drugs lie anyway........they live in a world of denial..............she called me the day after me and my other sisters cleaned moms house. she missed out on a really pretty cool day. (who knew spending the day with your sisters cleaning could be so much fun) it was a nice talk. it was truthful.
i had heard through the grapevine that she is going to meetings. i could tell from some of the things she said that she is clean..............and has been for a few weeks to a month or so.........in august i was certain she'd be dead within the year.................now i have guarded optimism she might be okay.
so after cleaning moms i shopped until 2:30 am buying wrapping paper, and what food items i could buy for the christmas meal i cook for my children and boyfriend, and for the stuff i need for moms meal.........and the next day i put up my christmas tree. it's my prettiest tree yet!
i was off today. i did nothing except call mom to tell her i love her and i wouldn't call her the rest of the day so that she could rest undisturbed.......................................................................and then i watched the last 2 episodes of Dexter "fish FUCKING filet" is what his sister said today. she cracks me up!....................and i napped for several hours.
it's 8 pm. i'm hungry and going to getsomething to eat.......

Boyfriend and I did a little Christmas shopping last night with oldest son and his girlfriend..........went out for pizza, and then to shoot some pool, listen to music, and have a few drinks.It was a fun night.
I got up early to pickup son and his girlfriend to take them back to the place we had drinks so son could get his jeep.
Ran to the bank today to deposit the bonus I received from work for the perfect survey. :O)..............................cleaned the house for Thanksgiving, and did laundry.

They had a party for us at work today to celebrate our perfect state survey.
It's my off day. I didn't want to go to work on my off day, even if it was just to party.
Billy, the gun is gone.
Son can't find it........vaguely remembers selling it to a girl at work.
I apologize.
He offered it to me to give to you.
I didn't think for a second there was the possibility he didn't still have it.
If I did, I wouldn't have offered it to you.
Again, I'm sorry............and will find a way to make it up to you.

it's time to plan my thanksgiving meal.
i don't like the traditional meal. it's gross, except for the pumpkin pie and left over turkey
for turkey sandwiches.
everyone else in my family likes the regular stuff. so i guess i really don't
need to plan anything.
bummer.
i wonder if it would be a disgusting waste of money if i took a year off of work.
i don't know what i'd do with my time off. i just think it would be so great for time, all
of that one years time, to be my own.
i'm not going to live long. not with my family history of stroking out.
at least if i die in the next 3 years i would have had 1 premature year of retirement.
so if i die early then it wouldn't be a waste of money...........on the slim chance that i live a long life, then maybe so..................................................but it still seems like it would be worth it.........a year to call my own.......while i'm still healthy.....................i dunno.

I didn't get to vote.
State inspectors
showed up at work Monday for our yearly inspection.........the inspection usually lasts 4-5 days.
My plan was to vote Tuesday before work........and be a little late .........not an option
during an inspection. I was on my way to work Tuesday morning
before the polls here were open.........and I didn't leave
work yesterday until long after the polls were closed. So for the first time since I was 18, I didn't vote. I was a little bummed.
On the other hand, yesterday was daughters first opportunity to vote in a presidential election.......she said she felt regret over her choice as soon as she left the city building.

PS
I bought a box of chocolate covered cherries. I'm having one now...............ex husband loves them.......I buy him a box every year for Christmas........I get a craving for them maybe once a year......today was that day.
thursday
It was a slow day.
I got up early and then went back to bed until noon.
Oldest son came over.
He wanted the coffee table that I didn't want anymore.
It's big, heavy, solid wood. Weighs a ton. It's pretty. But it was getting on my
nerves.
I told him to take it.
Now it sits in his and his brothers condo. They say it looks great!
I'm happy they're happy with it.
I made lasagna for supper, and set the table with candle light. Boyfriend and daughter joined me. The lasagna was pretty good. The home made bread was delicious.
Middle son stopped over later and had some of the lasagna. I tried to get him to take the leftovers home for him and brother, but he was on his way to meet up with friends.
I put it in the freezer for another day.
If I choose not to sell my house
the following must be done:
1. gut and re do my kitchen.
2. put in new bathroom doors.
C. get rid of the fuse box and put in breakers.
4.insulate
5.new dining room light fixture.
F.finish the semi-finished basement
7. new rail on the stairway that goes to the garage.
8. new railing on front porch
9. cosmetics in daughters bathroom
J.kill the freaking honeysuckles once and for all
11. lap pool and hot tub
12. front yard landscaping.

I didn't like our facility psychiatrist at first. I can't really explain why. Maybe I didn't like him for replacing the psychiatrist that I had worked with forever, and who I really liked. Who knows..........I've worked with the new guy for awhile now....... I like him. He kinda looks like a throw back from the 60's. He cusses. I've always liked doctors that cuss. He's not vulgar or anything. He just cusses now and then. I think his cursing puts me at ease.
I was answering his questions the other day about his patients.
He asked how Mr. B was doing, and what I thought about him. I told the doctor I though Mr. B was a prick. A big prick. I asked him if his anti psychotic drugs would help Mr.B's prickism. He said probably not.
I asked if maybe Mr. B should be seen by a urologist for his prick disorder rather than a psychiatrist.
He laughed ......and meant it......
Now I like him even more.
I went shopping with daughter and her cell phone the other night. She can't put it away.........I hate it.

Daughter is at school. Boyfriend is at a doctors appointment and then has to have routine car maintenance done. So lucky me has the house to myself for a few hours.
I just watched the latest episode of Dexter. Dexter's sister went on a tirade full of cursing. I loved it.
Dexter is a good name for a cat, Billy. Especially if it's named after Dexter the serial killer. I was thinking about naming my next cat Audrey Hepburn. I guess I have to meet it first and see if the name fits.
So while I enjoy the show Dexter, I love the show Nurse Jackie. She's the ER nurse in charge, married and with two children............ having an affair with the hospital pharmacist........and she's a drug addict. She frequently uses her name badge to cut pills and then snort them.
In one scene there's a man in her ER, his ear had been ripped off by the woman he raped, beat, and tortured. So the rapist who was in the ER to have his ear sewed on was going on and on to Nurse Jackie about how he was just doing to the woman he hurt what that woman wanted him to do...etc...he was a mother fucker with this sick sense of entitlement..&;....he was a diplomat with immunity from prosecution. Next scene is Jackie in a bath room stall holding this guys ear.......she holds the ear near her mouth and yells "fuck you!" into the ear........then....drops it in the toilet and flushes.
While I was on my sick leave from work I found this show.....................I watched it over and over............ I loved watching her yell"fuck you" into the severed ear.

Boyfriend took me out to dinner today. It was nice.
We also went shopping.
I bought a couple shirts, jeans, and a few under clothes.
I found a new head board for my bed. I didn't think I wanted one because it's just something else that takes up space and that will need to be dusted.......but my pillows keep falling over and off the head of the bed.
Mr. Bojangles hasn't come home yet tonight. I'm a little worried. When he goes out at night he usually comes back to the porch by 9:30, 10 P at the latest.

work went better today. I'm working on uncluster fucking the new unit........and on getting a routine going...............i guess i just want it to be easy...........it's not going to be..............so i'll deal..........i can't quit........not for 9 more years..................and i'm too tired to change jobs........................
daughter's doing okay in school but her professors are asking if she's been tested for add/learning disabilities.......................they encourage her to be tested again........................anyway......if everything goes as planned, she should complete school Jan. 2014............................she's thrilled and looking forward to getting her Savannah cat from me to her for a graduation gift. I want one too.
She's taking shack up's car to school tomorrow .her car is due for an oil change and it needs new head lights.....................shack up was cleaning the head light covers and found that her head lights are out...........she's been using her brights........ho hum..........
boyfriends brother donated his body to science.............in this case they will keep his body for 6 to 8 weeks then return it for cremation.
i'd hate the thought of one of my family members donating their body. it just grosses me out.
boyfriend is going to be cremated. he tells me to flush his ashes........pisses me off when he says to flush him...............
you're missing out on dexter, billy. i thought it was going to suck this season..........turns out that it's good.............
PS........i sound judgmental when i talk about the Pipe guy..........truth be told i respect him for always trying to do better..(though i think he should give his self a freaking break once in awhile).....and not giving up.............

my new unit at work is overwhelming.
i don't know what to do about it.
i can't go on a 12 hour adrenalin rush dayafter day.
it's not normal. it's not healthy. i resent the powers that be......
we-ping met me at my car when i got home from work.
she makes me smile.
when i got in the house, i pet mr. bojangles.
he hissed. i hissed back at him. he cracks me up.
I think it would be fun to work at a full service gas station........remember those?
I think it would be fun to clean wind shields, check oil levels and pump gas for a few hours a day a couple days a week.
i might do it when i retire.......if i canfind one that still does those things.......

sunday
scrubbed the kitchen and bathroom floors. washed the TV screens and mirrors.cleaned the counter tops, dusted and vacuumed......and did 3 loads of laundry.......................then i spent 4 hours in the backyard cleaning up garden rocks an old neighbor had delivered to his back yard. he had them delivered to a hill in his backyard against a chain link fence that separated our yards....... the weight of the rocks deformed my fence and some of the rock ended up in my yard.....i had the chain link fenced removed a year ago..........was tired of looking at the rocks flowing down the hill into my yard.......and was tired of looking at the half buried blue tarp that the rock had poured on when they were delivered...................................so i pulled all the little fucking rocks down the hill (probably 5 wheel barrels full)and into my yard.........cleaned the weeds in my neighbors yard that had grown over the rocks.....and.......threw the fucking blue tarp away............
the dumb ass who had the rocks delivered lost the house to foreclosure.............the new owner rents the place out...........neither the owner or the renter seemed to be bothered by the mess .............fuck them both.
I'll use the rocks somewhere in my yard................................................................. i cut down fucking honeykissmyass suckle trees......and then showered just in case i was dealing with any poison ivy...............so i got lots done today...................feels good............
I'm sitting in my new bed with fresh, smell good sheets, with Mr. Bojangles and boyfriend.
boyfriends brother passed away today.
boyfriends brother made the decision to
go with hospice. he didn't want to continue to live paralyzed and unable to eat.......the outcome of a stroke.........
boyfriend spent a couple weeks a couple weeks ago in Colorado with his brother. they talked about a million things, spent everyday together............. and when it was time for boyfriend to come home him and his brother said their finale good-byes. sad........sad that you love people and eventually have to go, or let them go...........
Mr. Bojangles is behind my computer screen. his tail is wrapped around the computer and on the screen. i keep touching his tail tip. it's cute. he's cute.

They changed our assignments at work.
My new unit is much busier than the one I was moved off of.
Partly because it's a big cluster fuck. My plan is to uncluster fuck it.........make it easier for
everyone.
It's been so pretty outside ..........sunny, crisp and cool. The tree in my front yard looks beautiful with the colorful leaves. I love fall. Mr. Bojangles and We-Ping seem to enjoy it too.
Boyfriend went to the mall today.
I don't like the mall and didn't want to go. I wanted to stay home in my big, new,comfy bed watching Halloween movies. So that's what I did................and every so often I'd sit on the porch and enjoy all the pretty fall colors, and the warm sun.
I'm still not sure if I'm going to buy a new home and sell this one. I definitely don't want to buy a condo.
I'm leaning towards staying here.........

Billy, The new season of Dexter starts tonight. Even though you don't really like the show, I'll keep you up to date on the good stuff. :O)
The realtor called me at work yesterday to schedule a showing for today.
8 days of a miserable stomach virus .........boyfriend in Colorado with his sick brother....... 2 double shifts for me to work this weekend.........a clogged kitchen drain, under clothes on the floor in my bathroom closet, construction of a cabinet underway on my living room floor....................i think not....... told her that we can't show the house until Wednesday.
but in all honesty my real fear is that the house will sell. otherwise i would have pulled it all together for a showing. i have a love hate relationship with my house. right now i love it. i can't seem to make up my freaking mind.
Billy my son has a CVA 50 caliber muzzle loader(I think that's what he said) with a walnut stock that has a clogged nipple and a stripped bolt on the side of it............said he doesn't have the ambition, time, or desire to fix it...........is it legal for me to mail a gun to you? You can have it if you want it..........if it's not breaking the law.......unless u think it's not worth mailing......

it's not often i get the house to myself.
today it was all mine.
it was quiet. i loved it.
i watched a love movie, and ate sushi. it was fun. :O)
after the love movie i did a few loads of laundry, cleaned mirrors and TV screens.
son came over this morning and helped me bring an old dresser from his and his brothers old bedroom down the stairs and to my bedroom.I've shopped for months for a new dresser. they're either too expensive and small, or inexpensive and small. either way they're too small.........and not made very well. the dresser that son helped me to bring downstairs is an antique. it was my mother-in-laws, mothers......... has wooden wheels..............and huge, deep drawers. it's well made..........heavy and sturdy .it's not beautiful.........but neither is any of my other furniture...........i like it.
a work friend of mine passed away. she had a stroke a few days ago.........she died yesterday. it's just weird, you know? she's here, and then she's gone. she had a smile on her face most of the time..........a really nice person..............................and i know we're not guaranteed any amount of time on this earth.............she was only in her mid fifties............was in her prime........it's sad.
mom is doing well. daughter and i spent the late afternoon/early evening with her and dad yesterday. her left chest is bruised from the surgery........otherwise she is fine............she has stopped bleeding...........took 5 visits to the hospital, 10 units of blood, and 3 or 4 weeks time...........but finally it stopped.......she's feeling normal again.......
yesterday oldest son, daughter, and i went out for lunch and did a little shopping. oldest son is one of the nicest young guys in the world.............it's a good thing spending time with him...........
boyfriend is in Colorado visiting his family.
i miss him, but time away from each other is good. :O)
my boss called me yesterday to tell me "your baby died."my first thought was why would my boss call to tell me Mr bojangles died...............and how would she know he died.............................but she was referring to my favorite patient. most of the workers didn't find him to be very endearing..........i felt for him.........didn't want him to feel like he didn't have anyone to count on.........not that he couldn't depend on other staff.....he could........................................the day before he died, which was unexpected, he said to me "you love me, don't you, Sandy."
I'm glad he felt loved.

mom spent the night in the icu being transfused. she's still there but is feeling better.
some of the time after being with my family( my sisters and parents) i feel like my head will explode and i'm relieved to get away from them.
our realtor called yesterday to tell me we have a buyer, that our last showing went really well, they loved the house and asking price................i expected her to call later in the day with an offer. i haven't heard from her, and i've been too busy to call her. so who knows........

The Drew Peterson jury got it right. Good for them!
And to Jeff Ruby, thank you for telling Drew "fuck you!" You crack me up.

She's tired.
Dad kept her spirits up by telling jokes. Mom wasn't really laughing at dad. My oldest son's cheeks were sore though from laughing at grandpas jokes.................... oldest son laughing made mom laugh...........
I have to work tomorrow.
I'd rather spend the day with my mom.

The town house was very pretty but I hated the lay out. The more I look at other homes, the better mine looks to me.
I've found lots of land to look at........know little about buying it........what to consider.......hidden costs and such....................
It raining sheets.......has been for a day and a half..............i love the sound of rain fall..........thinking about sitting in my car and reading my latest Koontz book............I'd be close to the sound of the rain, the phone won't interrupt me, I can sneak a smoke if i want, and the surrounding darkness will set the mood for my scary book.

i also went grocery shopping today.
it's pathetic that my off day was spent in a grocery store, and balancing a check book/paying bills............oh, and i painted my toenails........Cotton Candy, that's the name of the nail polish color...........I watched "Somethings Gotta Give" with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. It's a good movie.......funny.

Mom's back in the hospital for GI bleed and shortness of breath. So far she doesn't need to be transfused. They'll watch her counts for 24 hours and transfuse her if she needs it.
They started an IV on her in the ER. Her blood pressure was low. It's always low. It wasn't low from blood loss. It was low per her usual.
The IV fluid would cause her to go into heart failure............and I so that's what I told them. Because I know from past experience with her...... I just wanted to give them a heads up......and prevent more problems..........I asked them to check with moms cardiologist before giving her a bunch of fluids.
The nurse acted a little pissed off......
I was just trying to help my mom, and the nurse.......it wasn't about being right or wrong...........it was about my moms heart.......and making sure she was okay...........
The nurse was good enough to check with moms cardiologist then returned to the room and discontinued the IV.
So anyway, I'm worried about her...........she was in good spirits though, considering.
The nurse who admitted mom asked her if she was married. Dad said "I'm her husband. Actually I'm her 3rd husband." Then he pointed to my boyfriend and said "he's her second husband. when the black guy comes in, well he's her first husband."
Mom's been married once. Dad cracks me up.
So now it's been 3 days since mom was admitted to the hospital.
They did a colonoscopy today and an echo cardiogram.............she's still bleeding but hasn't required a transfusion.......................the colonoscopy didn't show anything abnormal..................i guess it's just a wait and see ...............hopefully the bleeding will stop and she'll come home tomorrow.
.................today i wasn't able to get off the couch. i was so emotionally and physically drained. everything felt over whelming . i shut down......stayed on the couch........i have to work tomorrow. that will force me to get up and get going again...............pathetic, huh?
i need something more.........i don't know what though....

We all gathered at mom and dads house yesterday to celebrate mom's 75th birthday. It was great and I love them all........but I felt relieved to get out of there.....
Daughters 1st day of her 2nd year of school was today.
Stick with it, Girl!
I worked today.
I wish I could retire tomorrow.

searching
we went looking for our commune this afternoon. it was a beautiful day. you couldn't ask for better weather.we got to see the beautiful horses, and the cows. i love cows. always have......i think because they're so laid back, and don't seem to have a care in the world. i immediately feel calm around them..and to me they're pretty.
we got to see a lot of shacks. i wanted to go inside them and explore. if i had been a child with my dad, we would have gone in and explored.
the eagle on the barn is cool though i really don't like barn art. i think barns in and of themselves are art. i love them............took a picture of a chicken with her baby chicks. they were cute.
took a picture of a tractor . the weeds are growing around it and up through it. i suppose the owner left it in the spot where it broke down. reminded me ofmyneighbors driveway..............the other piece of equipment is used for sifting gold? i don't know for sure.
it was a beautiful day.

The Commune
Today I cut back maybe 20 Honeysuckle weeds.I stopped though because I cut the electrical cord in half. Boyfriend edged the yard. I laid some grass seed and covered it with straw.
Now it's raining, so we came inside.
I have cod in the oven baking. It smells good. Kitties will be happy!
SO the new plan is to still try to sell this place and buy the condo, if it's still for sale after I sell this house...............but now I've been thinking about wanting some land. Just 10 or 20 acres.........with a big pond or a little lake with fish. When we dream aloud about the place we refer to it as the commune. A place for me, boyfriend,sons, daughter......and the families they may have some day, to get together away from it all..........................or for them to spend time there alone with their families/girlfriends/boyfriend.....................or for me and boyfriend to get away.......................................and we talk about target shooting, deer and duck hunting, horse shoes, frog gigging and fishing...........camp fires.............................dark skies and stars.
I could put 3 or 4 of these
there as camps...................one for each family........throw a table and a couple cots in each one........maybe add a window or two. You know it sounds fun.

We-Ping's favorite resting place.
I crack up when I see We-Ping half under the car.He kind of looks dead, or like he's working on the car.The mess above is my neighbors yard. I think he had a wet basement. So anyway he fixed it maybe a year ago. He just hasn't cleaned up or put his front porch back on yet. His mess might scare off potential buyers of my house.
The code enforcement guy drove by twice the other day. Hopefully they've told him to clean up.
Happy 24th birthday, Middle Son!

Stalker showed up again at daughters work. She didn't know he was there because security sent him away. I have his name, phone number, date of birth, and place of employment.
I was tempted to call his employer. if he is unemployed though he'll have more time to stalk daughter.
I found out he was put on some kind of restriction as a local college because he exposed his genitals and masturbated in the computer lab in front of other students.........and he also stalked a female student. Ho Hum.............dad wants to break his knees. I told him NO! I want to break his knees. But I won't. Oldest son has been meeting daughter after she gets off work and walking her to her car. Stalker doesn't have a car that I know of.....
Middle sons birthday is in a few days.
I'm cooking a nice home cooked meal for him and the family tomorrow evening...............and carrot cake.
He mentioned a couple months ago wanting an owl for his deck. I found a neat little owl at Ace Hardware. So I'll give him the owl and some cash for a birthday gift. I'm looking forward to having my boys and daughter together at home for a bit.
No lookers at the house yet.
If we don't sell, I'm putting in a new kitchen and a lap pool.

I want my house to sell.
If it does sell, it's going to take awhile. I'm not very patient. I want it to happen now........
We've had thunderstorms on and off all day.
I like it.
I used it as an excuse to not do much of anything today.
I payed bills.
I packed my lunch for work tomorrow.
I laid out my uniform for work tomorrow, and I switched the stuff in my
purse to another purse.
I took a nap.

Happy 6th birthday, We-ping! I love you.
My little buddy, Mr. Bojangles, napping. I love burying my face in his fur and kissing him. He's so cute!I hired a painter to paint my living room, dining room, and hallway. He did most of the work today, and will complete the job tomorrow. It looks nice.
Daughter has had a second job for at least a couple of months. About five days ago some guy came in to her place of employment and started a conversation with her. He shadowed her the rest of the night while she was at work. Even talked to her as though they had some sort of romantic involvement and long term relationship plans. No one took it serious. They even joked about it. Daughter though instinctively knew he was weird. She even told her boss that the guy gave her the creeps. Boss guy joked and I guess he figured Weirdo was just smitten with daughter. Well Weirdo came back the next night and followed daughter as she went about her job. Security escorted him out. That same night when daughter headed to her car after work Weirdo was waiting for her at her car. He walked away though when he saw daughter was being escorted to her car. He showed up at her work the next night. He had a bruised face and grossly swollen eye. I don't know why........but thought it was worth mentioning. So he shows up at her work.......this time Security stops him at the door and made him leave.
One of the girls who works with daughter recognized the guy. She says he has Aspergers disorder & was expelled from a local university last year for stalking a female student.
Daughter is off work for a few days. Hopefully he will go away. If he comes back, part of my plan is to go to the police. I'm not sure what the other part of my plan is yet.

I have air! It's great!
My house is a mess though. I need a maid. How awesome would it be to have a maid. I guess many husbands could answer that question. Maybe I should get a wife.
Daughter ended her relationship with her boyfriend.. The cultural differences proved to be too much, so said she. I think it had more to do with differences in character.......
Whatever the case may be, a new start is usually a good thing.

It was 106 degrees yesterday with a heat index of 113. It's been like for well over a week. Without central air the inside of my house feels like an oven.......cats don't pant but Mr. Bojangles was sitting on the coffee table panting. I thought he was going to die. I watered him and We-ing then put them in the basement where it was a little cooler.... I threw my bed away a week ago............so sleeping on the floor in an oven has sucked big time.
The guy worked on the central air. He said the motor in the central air unit had been put in upside down and that it wasn't the right motor for my unit..............I told him it had to be something else because I've lived here for 21 years and even if the motor was in upside down, and even if it was the wrong motor, it's always worked...........but I was at a loss because I don't know about this type of crap.........so I allowed him to replace the motor, and whatever else..........after he completed his work& turned the unit back on, the compressor went out. So a $660.00 job will now cost me around 3500.00. for a new unit or 2600.00 for them to rebuild mine. I'm bummed......and can't help but wonder if the compressor was the problem all along, or did he fuck it up.............
The air conditioning people are coming today to sell me, and hopefully install a new unit................the carpeting people are coming this week to lay new carpeting.............and hopefully I'll haVE THIS HOUSE ON THE mARKET BEFORE THE WEEKEND. Unfortunately a better, cuter house down the street just put a for sale sign up........the overall appearance of this street is going to hell........I might end up in this house for the rest of my life.

we watched the fireworks show fromdowntown main street last night.
it was pretty.
the heat has been miserable. it will be 101 again today. my old central air can't keep up with it. my house is suffocating.
my dad and nephew planted 5 ornamental grasses out front for me. i woke one morning to noises out front........and there they were.......they had removed two old bush trunks and were planting the ornamental grasses. i was thrilled. planting anything around here is extremely difficult for me. the ground is mostly clay and rock. nephew and dad made it look effortless.
they saved me from so much work.............
if the grasses make it through this heat i'll be lucky!
the moon was so beautiful last night. the picture didn't turn out so great though......
mr. bojangles is sprawled out on the coffee table. we-ping is on the kitchen floor. i think they're wore out from the heat.......

Just had a whole grain bagel for breakfast. I smeared grape jelly on it..............i'm still at the kitchen table.........mr bojangles and we-ping both just came in to eat and drink..........first though they both stretched having just woken up, and both rubbed against my legs and feet. i love them............
it's beautiful outside, but it's going to be a scorcher!
i set extra water bowls outside for the kittys.
my flower pots look beautiful. i thought the heat would kill them, but they're thriving..........
today i need to paint the rail outfront, set the freshly painted chair on the front porch, and replace the wood work that runs along the bottom of the kitchen cabinets.

I had a really bad nightmare night before last. It seemed so real. I woke with a racing heart and fear........and even though I knew it was just a nightmare I got out of bed and checked the doors to make sure they were locked, and went upstairs to make sure daughter was okay. When I was a child I didn't have nightmares. Weird.
Daughter and 4 of her friends went camping last week. They went fishing, swimming, sat around a camp fire........................and
They went hiking, left the hiking trail, and ended up lost in the woods for four and a half hours.........eventually they found their way back..........and learned a few lessons.
clean bedroom walls.
clean bedroom, hallway, and kitchen light fixtures
hang new bedroom blinds
wash bedroom curtains
throw away matress and box springs
Your tomato plant looks good, Billy!

I couldn't fall asleep last night. I turned the tv and light off at 330 a.m. and eventually fell asleep. Work called, waking me at 630 a.m. I felt a little disoriented when I talked to them. They asked if I'd come in and work today. I said NO, hope that's all I said, and then slept until 1030.
We still haven't finished chores around the house. No matter how hard I tried to get up and going yesterday I just couldn't. Same today, though I did manage to go to the grocery store ...........and I have a meatloaf in the oven. My house smells good!
My goal was to have my house listed by tomorrow. Not sure that's going to happen. I've decided to buy the condo........if it's still available when my house sells.
Jerry Sandusky and his wife repulse me.
George Zimmerman reminds me of a snake in the grass.
I hear him on the news in a police video recounting what happened the night he shot and killed Travon Martin. It doesn't have the ring of truth.
I know there are dangerous 17 year old boys out there in this crazy world. I'm not convinced Travon was one of them.
It's such a sad sad situation.

We started in on the garage yesterday. put
a bunch of crap to the side for a yard sale.
put a huge load of stuff at the edge of the driveway for the garbage man. An elderly german guy stopped in to chit chat and to pick through our garbage. he found lots of treasures. he said
he moved to america 33 years ago. lived in germany for 41 years and 1 day. he said the only thing wrong with america is that people are lazy, and there are too many blacks and mexicans causing trouble.
i wanted to tell him to go back to germany.
on the other hand......
today we will finish in the garage. we still need to spray down the walls and the floor, and i have to scrub the basement steps. also need to clean the sanitation sink.........................went through boxes and boxes of baby clothes yesterday. it brought back lots of memories. it was difficult for me to throw them away. i kept a large bag full though.
my mother-in-law spent several years in an orphanage. i think when a child turned 16 they were released. when mnl was released one of her favorite orphanage workers, mommy feldman is what she called her, gave this to her................................see above.......................................it's a pocket watch like compact with pressed powder make-up. the outside has an engraved picture of a lady wearing a victorian dress. she's standing on a bridge surrounded by trees and flowers. it's pretty.
my mother-in-law gave it to me. she was a good lady. i have fond memories of her. i thought i had lost my little compact. i found it yesterday packed away in a box in the garage.
i have poison ivy on my left upper arm, right hand, left breast, right upper posterior thigh, and right side of my face. i itch. some of that honeysuckle must have been poison ivy!

Mulched, pulled weeds, filled 8 planters with flowers, and painted the outdoor cast iron furniture today. I also argued with boyfriend.........well not really argued.......he pouted, gave me the silent treatment, said what he had to say, and is now not speaking, again, to me. I bit my tongue. Saying what I wanted to say would have only made things worse. Eventually I'll say to him what I want to say.
If my relationship with boyfriend ever ends I'll never have a long term relationship again....ever.
Oreo, the cat next door was sprawled out under the tree in my front yard today. Mr. Bojangles was right there with her. It was cute to see.

I'm on vacation for the next two weeks. Yay!
My plan is to do work around the house and yard.
I looked at two other houses this morning then came home and worked in the yard for about 7 hours. I must have cut down 20 freaking honeysuckle shrubs. I'm so sick of having to cut those fuckers down every year.
My 14 year old nephew was with 2 friends. They were exchanging punches in the arm, playing I guess the way boys play.................until one of them got pissed and punched my nephew square in the middle of the chest. And I suppose the punch that hit my nephew came at just the wrong moment causing nephews heart to stop. My nephew said THAT DIDN'T HURT took a few steps backward and dropped to the ground.
He was resuscitated and is fine. His heart is good, no damage.......will have one last test just to be sure.....but has been given the okay to play freshman football...................
I found a pair of prescription glasses I lost last summer. They were practically brand new, and my favorite pair. While cutting the fucking Honeysuckles weeds I found the glasses half buried in the dirt under the deck. I soaked them in a pot of soapy water to clean them........and believe it or not, they don't have a scratch on them........ YAY!

My search for a new home continues.
I looked at a town house this morning.
I was pleasantly surprised. It was more spacious than I thought it would be and it's
on a very quiet dead end street. The bathrooms and kitchen are updated. Neighbors waved as we drove by. Daughter liked it, and the asking price was less than I had expected. I really liked it but still not sure about the whole condo town house type living....so
I'm looking at 2 other properties tomorrow.
Our hours at work are still cut.
They called me in this week though to do paper work and I've been filling in on others vacation days...so for the last month I've managed to get all of my hours ..........our census is almost where it needs to be to get our hours back...
I received my yearly work evaluation last week. It was great. Really, really great. The raise though sucked big time.
HAppY BIRTHDAY, BILLY!

shooting pool
I was headed out the door tonight to go to Walmarts for toiletries and such when oldest son called and asked if I wanted to join him and his girlfriend at the VFW. So I did..............Son and I played, as a team, 4 games of pool. We won all but one game.
I had 3 beers, a buzz, and listened to some great music while we played pool. It was fun!
