Thursday…

is slipping right by me.  I have been busy again today.  The cable guy was here right at 8 AM and he was done in just a few minutes.  I have everything up and running now so I am good to go.

My daughter came over and washed all of the outside windows for me.  I followed along behind as the carrier person.  She also sprayed the foundation of the house with Home Defense from Ortho.  It is the first insect spray that I have ever used that has no odor to it at all.  It is also safe to spray inside too.  I think I may spray the foundation in the kitchen and the bathroom but I am leery of spraying carpeted areas. 

After we got through with the windows we had soup and sandwich at Avanti’s.  The cheese soup there is excellent.  Then, don’t tell anybody that we stopped by and had a peanut butter cup blizzard.  I am so full I don’t know if I will even be able to eat mommy oatmeal tonight.  I call it mommy oatmeal because I fix it  and eat it like my mom always ate her oatmeal.  She put in a dab of oleo and a bit of salt and pepper.  I leave the salt and pepper out and use a dab of butter. 1/3 cup quick cooking oatmeal mixed with 2/3 cup of water and put in the mic for 1 minute 30 seconds.  Perfect!  and so good for the cholesterol.

It is a beyond gorgeous day here.  It is sunshiny and 66 degrees with just a tiny breeze.  Just a great day to be alive!  Thank you God!!

I hope you all are in line for a great weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!

A big flake…

or a little flake?  I can’t figure out  the difference between oatmeal that has big flakes or oatmeal that has little flakes.  I do know the big flake oatmeal has a heftier price tag on it.  I recently bought the big flake oatmeal going under the assumption that bigger is better.  And you know what? it does taste different.  I am not a big fan of oatmeal, never have been, never will be.  There comes a time in one’s life when we have to do (or eat) things that we don’t want to.  Since my last fasting lab was not good cholesterol wise I have been eating oatmeal at least once a day, sometimes twice a day.  Some days it gets very discouraging, and then I think stroke or heart attack and I dig into that bowl of oatmeal again.  Like I said, the big flake oatmeal tastes different, not necessarily better, just different.  I don’t believe it is worth the difference in price so I won’t buy it again.

I got the cough syrup prescription and last night I slept all night long and didn’t start coughing till this morning.  I feel a ton better.  It is amazing what some sleep will do.

I had to park my car around front yesterday as we were told maintenance would be coming to do something to our parking area and driveway.  Didn’t happen so I am still parked around front.  I need to go to the store but I am afraid I will lose my parking spot. 

You all stay safe and be happy!!
