It's Hump Day so let's chat...what is up with you today?
Good morning. Hump day is just about over for me. Plus, tonight I am only working half a shift. Got to go to the Rangers game again.
Pretty uneventful day yestereday. I slept while Mary and Eddie painted the front hallway. They are working their way to the dining room.
I am so blessed to have a wife who understands how much I despise painting, and does not expect me to help.

Hi, It has been crazy for me. I went to Minneapolis to the Mall of America with my sisters. Talk about sensory overload. I am glad I went but I don't want to go back for a long while. My DH is working longer hours getting ready for bean harvest. Have a great day everyone! Mona

Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!
Today I'm going to more meetings but they are not all day long. Most of what I'm doing is cleaning out my closet. I'm washing and ironing teaching clothes and getting sweaters and jackets to the cleaners. I try to plan it so that I have two weeks of clothes before I need to wash and iron again. That's not to say that I don't have to wash everyday clothes like faded jeans and sweats every few days. It seems as though I have accumulated more work clothes than lounge clothes; hence, the always wearing pajama bottoms and tees. So, the rest of this week, aside from doing syllabus and lesson plans, I am getting caught up on my domestic responsibilities.
Oh, and next week, between teaching classes, I am going to look for a new car. I don't want a brand new car, because I don't want car payments, but I am going to get a good used one that I can pay cash for.
That's it for me. Have a good day
morning! what a pleasant surprise!!! doe sthis mean trouble sleeping brenda??? hope not!!!
after work yesterday, i got my hiar cut- it looks great!!! finally found someone who listens -besides carla!!! --bad thing is of course, now that we are moving!! anyhow- went to wally's to pick up my new glasses --i can see!!!! OMG!!!! i didn't realize how bad the old ones were til i put the new ones on and was driving home!!! but--dang it--there is a scratch in the center of the left lense-on the inside of the lense not on the outer side where it would normally scratch!and these are scratch resistant lenses!!! and i didn't see it til i got home- so after work i go back to wally's--they'll probly say too bad so sad since i took them outta the store- it doesn't really effect the vision but i know it's there and i just paid over $300 for them outta my pocket...oh-michael doesn't like them--they are big and they are tortoiseshell -they do take getting used to on my face -gives it a whole diff look since my hair is short -but i can see!!!!!

it was the (eye candy
) fire guy that was the former bull rider- he wrote in answer to one of michael's craigslist ads to sell the ****atiels--how did he know it was us??? any how- he was commenting about brody and what a wonderful dog he is and hopes i found him a special home when we move--i guess he didn't hear me say brodythesuperhero is going back "home" to his wonderful family in cygnet! (sorry- see-roxiethewonderdog is named such since it is a wonder how she escapes and how she survived not one but two skunk incidents a few falls back!! or how i let her survive!!!!!) --he has large dogs as well and appreciates the breeds tho i don't know what breed he has- so i wrote back in my own email...all innocent like!!!!!! and folks-if you knew brodythesuperhero--you would agree he is a truly special boy!!!!!!!!!!! quite dignified and regal yet a big baby clutz with those huge feet and long tail and all legs!!! when he runs it is graceful but look out cuz he'll knock ya down!!!!! he is so special and we have been blessed with him in our home since last november- he will be very hard to give up but it is in everyone's best interest that he not move with us!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Good morning to all of my OFF family. I hope that your hump day is great.
I will getting ready soon for our little Kayden to be coming. I hope that he is in a good mood. But one thing that I know for sure is that he will be in a good mood after he gets here...he is always (or mostly always that is) in a good mood with us. He knows his Grandpa and Grandma love him soooo much...but he has no idea how much yet...wait until he is older.
Bill is going to the doctor with me this afternoon since he informed me last night that he doesn't want to stay alone with Kayden while I am gone. I have no idea why but I sure hope it isn't because he is going to have to be surgically removed from my beehind. It seems like when he is sick or has some bee in his bonnet he hangs so close to me that I always tell him that if he gets any closer to me he would have to be surgically removed from my beehind if I stopped suddenly. Oh I can't stand it when he is in one of those moods. One good thing about this doctor visit is that I am going back to monthly visits once this one is over. She has been seeing me every 2 weeks while all this is going on with the infection. I appreciated all the care and thoughtfulness that she put in to this whole mess. I have a whole new outlook on her as a doctor and a person.
Nothing else much going on here today. If the morning is good I think I will take Kayden for a walk. I do better with my back when I am moving even if I move slowly. I guess slow is better than not moving at all.
Oh...the apartment manager came by yesterday and told me that the steps are up to code and they are grandfathered in so they don't have to do anything with handicap accessibility. I don't think that is right. She told me that they have a handicapped apartment that is coming empty and we could move in there but the rent is $150 more a month and it is going up another $40 soon. I told her that I can't afford that and then she told me that we will probably need to find other housing. And that when our lease comes up for renewal we will be put on a list that says that we are non renewable. It doesn't matter to me or Bill since he told me that he wants to move anyway. He told me that a couple of weeks ago. I am just going to have to start saving for that. It is going to cost so much to move with the rent and security and we will have to have the electric and gas turned on and so on and so on. Oh well, it is going to be worth it to get out of this place. I don't want to be a burden to anyone...but I am going to find out about this not having to do accessibility stuff. I don't think that is right since they accept federal money I would think they would have to follow federal laws. We are going to get some boxes and start packing stuff that we don't use and keeping it in the storage unit until we move. It will make it a lot easier.
I went through some high end clothes that I got off freecycle a while back and most of them fit now. I am going to clean them and then I am going to have a lot of new outfits to wear. Most of them are professional stuff so they will be nice when I go to church or out somewhere. That is...when I have a life. ha ha
I better go...sending love and hugs to all and prayers are being said for everyone. Have a super day and don't forget to smile pretty......

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