I cleaned mom and dads house today, and did moms laundry. Luckily when I got there this morning they were gone. I crossed my fingers that they'd be gone most of the day so that I could get into my cleaning zone and get it done......................they were there for the last hour that I cleaned..............so I got a lot done while they were gone.

Dad criticised me for getting the new windows and siding.
Dad gives great advise some of the time, and he's a smart guy, but he thinks there's only one way to
do things, and that's his way. If you don't do things the way he thinks they should be done, or if you do something that he doesn't think needs doing........then you're just wrong..................................and after your questioned by him in a manner that makes me feel like I'm being questioned by  a prosecuting attorney and I'm a hostile witness ,he criticises.   It's all very exhausting. Today I refused to participate and I won't participate anymore either.  It's sad really.

While vacuuming moms living room I hit my baby toe on the couch leg. It's purple, swollen, and hurts like a mother ficker!

If you like garlic and if you like green olives, try the garlic stuffed green olives. They are delicious.

I put in a vacation request for November and another one in December. I'm not sure I can wait that long!

sunday

nothing new going on here................
. i got collars for the kitties. it has our phone number on them. i got a pretty blue one for we-ping because it matches her eyes and i got a bright pink one for mr. bojangles because it looks pretty against his black coat.

i wish i liked wine. when i see people on tv drinking wine from a wine glass they look sophisticated i think........and the wine always looks so good.
i hate wine. i hate the taste of most alcoholic beverages.

saturday

Middle son adopted a kitty from the animal shelter.
His name is Ty. I haven't met him yet. I hear he's a cute little fellow.

 I haven't done one constructive thing today.
Mostly I sat in a chair with Mr. Bojangles watching TV and napping.
I'll probably shower in a bit and head out with boyfriend for a drive...........maybe go to the store.

my neighbor stopped over yesterday to show me the video he took of an 8 point buck that was in my backyard that  morning. it was cool.

the weather here was beautiful yesterday.
boyfriend and i went to the little roadside hamburger stand. we sat at a picnic table and had lunch.
mom and dad pulled in while we were eating, and they joined us for lunch.
we sat together for several hours talking and enjoying the warm sunny day.

son had the inside of my car detailed  for me.
it looks awesome!

I took Mr. Bojangles and We-Ping to the vet yesterday. Both of them had to get shots, 3 each to be exact. We-Ping weighs 13 lbs. 6 ounces. Mr. Bojangles weighs 11 lbs 9 ounces.
 I gave both of them a cat nip toy after we left the vets office.  They did good.

I signed the papers yesterday to have 13 new windows put in my house and to have new siding hung. I talked the guy down $ 2080.00 from the original price he quoted me.

Happy 7th birthday, We-Ping! I love you!

thursday

I have to go to the bank, do a little shopping,and curl moms hair today.
If time allows I'll do some cleaning.

saturday

The George Zimmerman verdict = not guilty.
I've followed the trial and agree with the verdict even though when the story was
first in the news I thought Zimmerman was a snake in the grass. After watching the trial and listening to the facts and evidence I was hoping for a not guilty verdict. That being said,
I still feel sad for Travon and his family.

I went to mom and dads house this late afternoon. Mom wanted help with a bath. I sat on the deck talking to dad while the tub filled. I asked mom to come get me when she was ready to get in the tub. She didn't. She got in and out of the tub on her own and bathed without my help. I think she really just wanted me there for just in case..................Then she bragged to me a little about doing a load of laundry today.lol. She's so cute. I helped her to hang the laundry..........and I lotioned her legs and feet.
She looks great.
Her breathing is better than it's been in 10 years. She says it feels better than it has felt since her heart attack 10 years ago.......
Her mind is clear. She was terribly confused for several weeks after coming home from the hospital. I wasn't sure if  her confusion was permanent. It started improving a couple of weeks ago but I still wasn't sure it would clear all the way. A few days ago I  started to notice a big difference....a big improvement..................................and it's such a relief. When she was first at home from the hospital she looked at me and said "I can't lose my mind Sandy. I've lost so much, I just can't lose my mind." She was pleading for help...........it was so sad.....devastating even......................all I could do was reassure her.........and convince her that I believed her memory problems and confusion was temporary........it felt like the right thing to do even though I wasn't sure it was the truth. I wanted her to have hope...................
today and the last few days she's back to normal. sharp as a whip! I am so grateful.........so happy!

saturday

The guy up the street stopped feeding his cat. He informed his children he'd no longer feed either of their two cats. His children told daughter. By the time his children told daughter this kitty was skin and bones. You can't tell from the picture. We've been feeding her. She a very sweet, loving cat. I call her Sara. The guy up the street is an abusive asshole towards his children,his wife,and now his pets.

This is Oreo.He lives next door.They call him Moo Moo. He doesn't bother any of the other cats. He's laid back, and friendly. He likes being in my yard. He's cool.

I love this little guy.He's the thoroughbred of all cats.   :O)

I found this on my floor this morning. It's WePings fur. It's a huge hunk. I'm guessing her and Mr. Bojangles fought last night.

The banana peppers keep coming. I'm loving it!

It's my weekend off work. Yay!
I'mnot sure what I will do.
I should clean my house. I should clean my moms house.
I don't want to do either of those things.

thursday

My off day this week is tucked between 2 double shifts.
Any day off is a good day but one day isn't enough time!

I bought a super soaker water gun.
The cat next door is a bully who is tormenting my cats.
My cats are living in fear. I'm sick of it!
So I bought the gun.
My neighbor said it was okay to shoot his cat when he comes in my yard. He thinks
his cat is crazy.

:O)

sunday

I stopped by mom and dads on my way home from work.
Mom's doing much better.
She wants to drive.................she wants me to take her out so that she can practice driving.
I told her I think she needs more time to get even better and stronger. She's just not ready....don't know if she'll ever be.

Dad  got me a book from the library. It's "The Smart Guide To Understanding Your Cat." lol....cracks me up. I'm looking forward to reading it.

I had a guy come out to give me an estimate on new windows and siding for my house. It was much higher than I had anticipated! I'll get one or two more estimates.

Bought some good stuff today to grill tomorrow. I'm not sure who will show up but i'm prepared!

The restless leg thing has only bothered me once in the past month. It's been great being able to get some sleep!

Hi Billy!

tuesday

I broke a tooth chewing ice. You can't see the tooth. It's towards the back of my mouth. But it split right down the middle. I knew better.

3 children from the neighborhood are on my porch right now........I got home from work at 10 pm ish........and there they are.......2nd night in a row. Their parents didn't pay their cable/internet provider........so they are on my porch connecting with my service .Cracks me up. I'm going to kick them out soon!
