Squish!

Yesterday went smoothly at the doctor's office.  Just some questions and a set up for a procedure.  It's something I've have done some years before and it's not too bad. 

Now lets return home to where I really wouldn't liked to be.  I get home and my sil says we had another emergency.  Basically she's talking about something breaking in the house.  Well this time the house didn't do it, my sil did.  The sewer line has been stopped up and we had a flood about three days ago.  We've called these people who flush it out, but they haven't been able to show up yet.  So after the flood I pulled out my steam vac and suck up all the water and clean the carpet.  Yesterday afternoon in all her wisdom my sil decided to use the washer and wash some bed spreads.  Now this isn't an emergency like dirty underwear, it's something that could have waited.  I get home, go back to my bedroom and my feet begin to squish.  My sil laughs and tells me she tried to wash something and the water backed up again.  Now I'm not the smartest person in the world, but wouldn't you think that after the water backed up one time from washing that it would do it again until you got it fixed.  So more using the steam vac and putting up fans to dry the carpet.  I do look forward to moving.  At least if I have to clean any mess it will be of my own making.

We're expecting snow this afternoon and tonight.  I think if FMom was alive, this year would be a big thing for her since she loved snow so much. 

Well everyone stay warm and take care.

Things Keep Going On.

I know I'm pretty far down South, but it's cold down here this morning.  We're at 25F and the heater is out in the house.  So I have a little box heater in my room and it makes it OK.  I don't look forward to summer here, but spring would be a welcome relief.

I've got a doctor's appointment today with a gastroenterologist.  I was telling Andi that in the last eight months I had lost about 42 pounds.  Since I haven't changed my diet and my activity is about the same my GP wants to run all sorts of test.  I haven't weighed what I weigh now since my early 20's.  What makes me mad is I've given away all my good clothes that used to fit me before I first got here and gained so much weight.  The shirts and stuff are still OK, but I guess I'll have to buy a couple of pairs of new jeans so I won't have to tighten my belt so much.  So I'll see the doctor today and he'll probably order test or procedures that I know I won't want to go through, but what can you do.......

George is still doing good.  For being over a hundred in human years he's still yappy as can be and still runs and jumps everywhere.  I watch the shows about dog breeds on Animal Planet sometimes.  After seeing all the health problems some dogs can get, I guess I'm pretty lucky with George.  I guess you would call him a mut, but I'm happy with him.

I'm still waiting for one of my brothers to get things together with me moving out of FMom's house.  Honestly, I can't wait.  I'll be very happy to be on my own again.  I love my brothers and sister, but a little privacy goes a long way. 

Other than that everything is going well.  I hope everyone is doing fine.

Just A Little Horoscope.

I usually don't pay any attention to them, but I decided just to look today to see what it said.  The first sentence I read sort of blew me away.  Here it is:

Despite quite a few recent nap attacks, your energy level isn't decreasing at all.

Anyone who knows me knows that the word nap and I go synonymous.  I'm not so sure about the energy level thing though.  So I would say that for not having read a horoscope for a couple of decades that that one was at least 50% right.  

I’m sort of glad that one was only 50% right.  If it had been 100% right, I’m sure I would be acting very stupid right now.  If it had been 0% right then I would have been acting very smug and probably condescending which are two traits I don’t care  for at all.

So do I believe in horoscopes?  Of course not, unless they are correct that is. :)

Everyone take care today.

New Blog

It seems like I'm back with a new blog.  I'm trying to keep it as close to the old one as possible, but there will be things I've forgotten or just missed.  This time I've gotten everything written down so I hopefully won't lose things as before.

I have a feeling that setting up this blog will take some time and I hate to say it, but it will also take a lot of effort.  I was telling Andi the other day that something had popped into my head and I had thought that would make a good story for my blog.  Unfortunately as soon as it popped into my head, it popped out again.  I hope this is a sign that I'm ready to start writing again.  One draw back I have right now is that I can't use Word as I did before.  Once my brother got this computer cleaned of all of his info, they left Word but I have to use a 25 digit code to get it to start working.  It is supposed to be on a disk that came with the computer.  Until my brother finds that disk I'll have to use the word processor that comes with blogger.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I found it easier to use Word.

OK this will be the first of I hope many new posts.  I hope everyone out there is doing fine and take care.
