Hi It is almost July 3rd Friday,
Two of my grands are here; the four year old and the one year old. His birthday is Sunday and he will turn a big five. He is quick to tell me that now he is a big boy and can comb his own hair. Nice. The baby will be two at the end of August. Both are going with hubby and me to our parties tomorrow. That will be interesting.
Well, it's raining here and the coffee is a dripping. I overslept which is way unusual for me and the kids. We were up late waiting on granddad to get home.
Today will be filled with chasing and entertaining the kids. Hopefully they will want long naps.
Hi All,
I'm still trying to get used to being home... there are so many details to handle that I haven't gotten to yet. I need to wash clothes, empty the little trashes here and there, go through two weeks worth of mail and newspapers. My daughter watered but she missed some things (quite a few- she concentrated on the patio and front porch- but I had some containers on the fence and out further in the yard) and it just so happened that we were gone during a very hot spell (100 and up every day) so lots of things died. We also came home just in time for a big drama of my daughter vs her roomates- I think I want to go back to Canada for another month! Tonight will be fun. There will be a special singer at our pub. We think we know this boy's father from 20 or more years ago. It would be a kick if he showed up at Kelley's tonight. I'm sure that our core of friends will be glad to see us back. That's it for today!

Hi Carla and my OFF family:
Oh man, I wanted to be up there with you guys, but my body is not cooperating with me this week. I felt OK when I got up yesterday except my leg was swollen again, blown up like a balloon from the knee down. As the day wore on, the knee started to hurt more and more, and if I sat with it bent (as I would have to in a car), it really hurt. And then my back and shoulders hurt, and the little spot on my forehead where I conked myself on the dresser on Monday hurt ... well, I was a mess. The longer I waited for Margo, the more I questioned whether I should I go. So I decided it wasn't a good idea.
And I sat up last night and couldn't sleep, I'm glad I didn't. It was easier not sleeping in my own home than it would have been doing it at Nan's, without familiar stuff.
I'm a little better today ... knee isn't quite as bad or as big. I did some stretching in bed with it last night that, when I was doing it, hurt, but as I went along, seemed to help. So I'll try that again tonight. It's supposed to stretch the patellar tendon out. That's been my problem area, although it hasn't been bothering me lately ... the pain has been farther down.
We had some sunshine earlier but now it's clouding up again. I slept til 11 ... didn't get to sleep til after 2 sometime. Had a rough night ... fell asleep during the Angels game but then got up and couldn't go back to sleep and finally got up and went out into the living room and watched some TV til I got really sleepy again.
I have no big plans. There are a lot of things going on around the area, but most of them involve money, which I don't have, so I'll stay home and enjoy my TV and watch baseball. I may go out and get a rotisserie chicken for dinner ... that will last a long time. They're on sale at Meijer for $4.99 and I have a coupon from Meijer for $3 off (anything), so it will cost me $1.99 ... I can afford that! I have $8 left for the week and three-quarters of a gallon of gas.
Anyway, it's nice to have four days off with nothing to do. I have plenty of things I have to do around the house. Have a good day.

Good afternoon to you, Carla and my OFF family. Today is the day before the big boomer day.
Bill is off today since the 4th is on Saturday. He was a happy camper when he found that one out. We thought that might be the case but no one was sure on that until last evening.
Bill had his doctor's appointment this morning and we got through that. He has to get a stress test...complete with the i.v. and such...he is not going to be a happy boy when that happens. They are going to call him sometime next week. He has been having some pain in his chest mostly at work and so the doctor isn't taking any chances...and I am glad about that. He got his meds changed a bit...not the meds really but the strengths and doses.
My appointment with Dr. Stanish did not go well yesterday. I wasn't allowed to see him and that irritated me...then on top of that I was told there was no infection and when I asked even with the green puss, pain and smell? I was told that is normal. Oh really..... I go back in 3 weeks and then was dismissed. I saw Stanish while waiting for the next appointment and I stared at him. Never said a word to him then even though he wouldn't look me in the eye...he said..."Brenda, how are you doing?" I said to him I guess alright. That was it and then he went on doing something at the desk. I am NOT happy with this at all...and it WILL come to an end. I was told that my visiting nurse was to anxious and then they said that they thought that something was wrong since she called all the time for the doctor. But nothing is wrong....it sure must be nice to be alright..of course I might be according to them but it sure doesn't feel like it to me. I told them about the eating and the nurse told me to get 80 grams of protein for the healing. Well...I would if I could but it is to hard to do. Hello...is anyone home and listening???????
So I am now going so no one has to listen to me go on and on anymore. Now stop your jumping....for joy that is. I am sending love and big hugs to all and prayers are being said for everyone too. Don't forget to spread the seeds of happiness and joy around wherever you go. It will bring more joy to all around you.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
