thursday

I like this little townhouse. it's in a nice neighborhood with beautiful mature trees.......except the tree in this front yard looks kinda dead. I'm going to look at it tomorrow..........of course i still need to sell this house.............
cut the grass &
went to see dad today........did a few drive bys in my search for a new home..........

mom was transfused today. she doesn't feel so great. she sounds down and tired. I'm taking her to a doctor appointment tomorrow......................dad has an appointment at his dentist, so I'll take mom...............

I'm sick of Romney........i don't like his Stepford wife either..........I'm sick of all politicians.......self serving hillbilly bastards. they make me sick.

mom was discharged from the hosp. Friday afternoon........she went back to hosp. Sat. and stayed till morning...........she had blood work today, needs to go back to hosp. tomorrow to be transfused.........after she gets blood she will feel a lot better.................me, boyfriend, and daughter went to see her today. she's in good spirit......joking, laughing. ......said she's not letting the GI doctor do any tests.......said she will live to be 80 and they (the doctors) will just have to tolerate her through 1 more GI bleed approximately every 18 months for the next 5 years.she's a trip..&...i love her.

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.

sunday

I wanted to not do anything today except chill, read a book, and watch TV.But I wanted to doitwithout guilt. So I cleaned the inside of my car, hung the new curtains I bought for daughters bedroom,andwashedmy scrubs. Now I'm on the couch with a bowlofpopcorn,  soft drink, book(The Pelican Brief),and the remote control.
I'm content.

thursday

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....

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, sweet daughter of mine. I love you!

monday

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!

I love you.

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.
