Chilly Friday…

at 51 degrees and windy.  It was brrrr cold this morning in the 30s when I first got up.

My daughter and I went to Kohl’s and nosed around.  My daughter bought me a lovely St Louis Cardinal shirt for Mother’s Day.

I am one of their biggest fans.  I love baseball.

But before that we stopped at a church rummage sale where I found this lovely whatever you want to call it.  I have decided to use it to hold some of my cds.  At home I had beautiful built in oak shelves that Jim had built for me to store books and cds.  They were hooked to the wall so they had to go with the house.  Jim loved to work in wood.  I have so many lovely things that he made for me.  Rae’s husband is a master wood crafter and he worked with Jim in the beginning.  When I moved I had so many things (furniture) etc. that Jim had made for me.  I brought it all with me as I couldn’t bear to sell any of it.  Jim could take pieces of old things from a sale and they were beautiful when he finished putting them together, but the nicest things are the things he built from scratch.  I have a two bedroom place so it is kind of crowded.  One of these days I will let my kids take some of it.  For now these things comfort me.

I have just started organizing the Cds.  Lots more to go.

I hope your day is being good to you.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Thursday..

the day after.  I had a restless night but I feel so much better today knowing that is all behind me for now.

My daughter stopped by this morning and took me to the pharmacy and to Kroger to get a few groceries.  Each time I shop at the grocery store everything is higher.  Distilled water jumped from 91 cents a gallon to 97 cents a gallon since last week.  I have to use that in the c-pap so even though I can’t drink it, still it is a necessity.  

At the pharmacy I found out that a new drug that the doctor wants me to take will have to be approved by my insurance company.  No approval it  is $295.50 a month (30 pills).  If the insurance company doesn’t approve it the doctor will have to figure out something else as that is a little steep for my budget.  I hate new meds anyway as I usually have an adverse reaction to them.

The storms passed us by and I am glad although we are getting desperate on the rain needed situation.  It is sunny and beautiful today although pretty windy.  59 degrees right now and to get to the mid 60s by afternoon.

I hope you all have a great weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Way behind schedule…

this morning.  I had laundry to do, a trip to the pharmacy, a stop off at the bank, said hi to my friends at Kroger’s and gave them a chunk of cash and then finalized it all by stopping by the office and signing a new lease for another year.  By then it was time for Y & R and lunch but I am here finally as I am not breaking my blogging streak if at all possible.

It is a chilly windy day here. The temp is only 44 and the high for the day is mid 50s.  I am shivering in jeans and a sweatshirt so I think I shall have to turn the furnace back on for today anyway.

I had a wonderful visit with my son yesterday and my son in law filled the car with windshield washer fluid.  The msg my car greeted me with this morning was that I was driver #2.  I sent all leftovers home with my kids so the refrigerator is bare again.  Back to my old friends at Healthy Choice.

I hope this is a good week for us all.  You too RB.  Are you ready to admit that my blog is not gossip now??  Msg if you are.

You all stay safe and be happy!!

Today has been declared…

The Day All Old Folks Go Off Their Diet Day by my WV sis.  This morning she and her husband were entering the Jolly Pirates Doughnut Shop in Ashland KY at the same time as several older ladies.  (Now bear in mind that my sis is almost as over the hill as I am.  Actually she is 22 months younger).  My sis is a great people person.  She jokingly said to this group of ladies that this was officially the day that all old folks go off their diets.  This did not go over well with this group of ladies and they walked away in a huff.   LOL  I had never heard of a Jolly Pirates Doughnut Shop but I guess they are common in KY, WV and Ohio.   Have any of my readers heard of this place?

My sis and brother in law live in the part of WV where you can stand with your feet planted in WV and put your left arm in Ohio and your right arm in Kentucky .   The name of the city is derived from these three states.  Ken O Va (Kenova)  I think that is so cool the way that city was named.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenova,_West_Virginia

It is cold and windy this morning at 24 degrees right now and not to get much warmer today.  I am longing for Spring which stands in the countdown to Spring at 23 days.  I am waiting impatiently for a day with sunny skies, no wind, and 70 degrees.

Closing this off for now as I am observing “The Day All Old Folks Go Off Their Diet Day.”  Come join me.  The official age to celebrate this holiday is to be over the age of 55.  You are certainly eligible RB.

Enjoy the weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!
