thursday

It's raining, and there's a  breeze. It's a nice reprieve from the heat and humidity that's been hanging around for weeks!
Son stopped by last evening to exchange vehicles with me. Him and his wife are headed to Florida for their honeymoon. They didn't want to drive his pick-up. I'm kind of excited to be driving his truck for awhile.
Boyfriend napped today while I ran errands. The errands only took an hour.
I just don't know what to do with myself while not working. It's a dilemma for me!

tuesday

We went to the oncologist today for PET scan results.

He says boyfriend has an enlarged lymph node that lit up. So he has scheduled boyfriend to have  a bronchoscopy  and biopsy.

I'm not even going to try to fortune tell...........................we will know next Tuesday after the biopsy if it's cancer.

Met a couple of my sisters at dads house tonight. The 3 of us went through boxes and albums of  family pictures to split between the 5 of us...............we will have to go back to finish the job!

That's all......I'm tired and so I'm going to bed!

friday

It's very hot and humid here and will continue to be for the next couple of weeks! I'm looking forward to fall, my favorite time of the year!

Boyfriend had a neck to knee PET scan yesterday.
We will see the oncologist Tuesday.
Hopefully all is well. I suspect and hope it will be.
 No doctor appointments after Tuesday for awhile if the scan is clear.
We'd like to take a trip!

Happy 10th birthday, sweet, Weeping! We love you.

worked sat.

I worked Saturday. It was pretty much like all of these:

and that about covers it!   But it was a good day!    :O)

thursday

Nothing much going on today.
Boyfriend and I hung around the house. I have a cold. So I've been tired. Mostly I watched TV. I also worked a little on a cookbook I'm putting together for my children for Christmas. I'm including recipes for meals I've made for them as they were growing up. Many of the recipes are ones passed down by my mom.

I'm glad R. Ginsburg said out loud what she thinks about Trump. I wish she hadn't apologize. Like most of us she's concerned for America. She spoke the truth. Too bad more people don't do the same.

Nice fish, Billy!

This is my neighbors cat, Oreo.  They call her Moo. She's calm, cool, and laid back. I really like her. Every once in a while she'll join me on my porch.

 She likes to stretch out on the roof of my car in the evenings. Makes me laugh when I see her stretched out like this!

saturday

I'm sitting on the deck with Mr. Bojangles and Weeping reading the blogs that I read and having some coffee.
Someone in Indiana won the lotto last night. The odds were something like 254 million to one. I would imagine it would feel like some higher power was helping that person to win with the odds being what they were. "Why me?" would seem like a question they'd ask.
No one person should have that much money. I hope it is a group of factory workers that own the ticket!

thursday

I spent the morning cleaning my house. I scrubbed floors, cleaned mirrors and TV screens, vacuumed, and dusted. I also did 3 loads of laundry. It's easier to clean when boyfriend is out of town. I don't know why. It just is!  The house looks good!

The car dealer called. They said they cannot find a leak in my air conditioner, it was a little low on coolant, so they added some and they believe it is working fine. He also said it's possible that I have a really small leak that they can't see , bring it back if I have anymore problems with it! And they also did an oil change. I'm glad it's taken care of. Oldest son is going to borrow my car when he goes to Florida this month. I just hope the air doesn't go out on him and his wife.

Middle son stopped over after work and had dinner with me.
I made sloppy joes and corn. I sent him home with some brownies.
It was nice spending a little time with him!

I might watch a movie tonight or work on a painting.

The Powerball and Mega Million lottery have huge jackpots right now. This is when I like to play. I will buy one ticket for each game. It only takes one ticket to win!
I'd just like to make life comfortable for each of my children. And I'd like to be able to quit work for good without having to worry about health insurance!

Today I have to take my car to Honda to have the AC fixed. I've been putting it off because something always seems to come up that stops me from taking it in...........so on our way to the airport (boyfriend is going to Colorado for family stuff) we will drop off the car.

I paid my Cobra today and I ordered middle sons birthday present. I got him a season pass to Perfect North. A place to snow ski in Indiana. He loves to ski...........and so while it isn't Colorado, it's still a place he enjoys!

Work called this morning to see if I could work today.
I just couldn't even though I would have if I didn't have other things I had to take care of!
I did sign up yesterday though to work a day later in the month.

monday

Son picked the Sunflower from his garden and gave it to me. I love it!

Boyfriend bought a bunch of fireworks. We set them off Friday night and they did not disappoint! It was the best fireworks show ever! Son and his wife joined us as did daughter. We grilled, had a few beers, then fireworks. It was fun!

saturday

We had a nice camping and fishing trip. The weather was perfect. Fishing was good. We caught and released a bunch of bluegill and some crawdads. I fished every morning and evening. It's relaxing I think!

We had a camp fire in the evenings and some mornings. I like the sounds from a camp fire, the popping and cracking, and I like the smell of the burning wood.

In the evenings we played Domino's. Nothing terribly exciting happened. It was just quiet, relaxing fun. We're going to do it again soon!

Today we're going to head over to Indiana to buy some fireworks to set off tonight.

I told boyfriend I'd like to have music, a little beer, food on the grill, and some fireworks in the backyard this evening. So it's what we will do. I'll invite the kids over to grill with us if they'd like and then they can get on with their "real" plans for the weekend! But it will probably be just me, boyfriend, and the kitties. That's fine by me too!

Happy Birthday, Billy!
