The day after…

a very long day.  Yesterday was a super long day.  I have been having some bad side effects to 2 new meds that I was taking so the morning was spent waiting for the nurse to call me.  The afternoon was spent at 2 appointments and I didn’t get home till almost 6:30 PM.  Nothing like Peoria traffic after dark.  On the way home we stopped at the pharmacy to pick up a new med that the nurse I had spoken to in the morning had ordered.  You guessed it, on my allergy list.  Now I have to waste the morning waiting for a return call.  On the bright side I have been given the OK to start working out again.  Starting very slowly at 5 minutes per day for a few days and then working up to 10 minutes and then on up to my regular 30.  No lifting weights for awhile though.  And that is my gossipy rant for today.

I am over my little  aggravated spell.  One of my bogging friends suggested that perhaps the person was having a bad day and not feeling well.  I have bad days myself so I took that into consideration and I forgive him.  Thank you all for the supporting comments.  Twin and Bro, it is good to know you have my back!  Love you all.

I am trying to think of something to make for a cookie exchange.  It has to be 3 dozen of something divided into 6 portions and packaged separately.  A lovely lady from my daughter’s church hosts this.  Any ideas for me as I would like to make something special.

A photo from last year’s cookie exchange.  My favorite thing there was divinity which I love.

Have to close this off now as I have to call the doctor’s office again and tell them about this new med that I have no intention of even starting.

You all stay safe and be happy!!

Is this gossip?

I was told in a rather snarky (critical, cutting, testy) way today  by an acquaintance, that my blog was nothing but gossip.  Well, that is OK if someone thinks my blog is gossip.  Sticks and stones and that old saying, you know.  My blog is special to me and has been for over 6 years.  I refer to it as my online diary, and even though it may be only gossip to some, to me it is not.  So, here it is, straight from me to you, if you don’t like it, don’t read it.  Just sayin.’

There now, I bet you all are thinking, is this our little always nice Beth writing this post or is this an impostor?  Nah, it is me saying exactly what I am thinking.  Comment anyone??

Cyber Monday?

I don’t think so.  I ordered a purse from an online company last summer and since then I have been inundated with catalogs of every size and description.   At least my mailbox isn’t empty anymore.  LOL  Seriously, when I buy something I like to look at it to determine if I really want it.  Unfortunately the purse I ordered was not at all what I expected it to be.  I called the company and they would be happy for me to return it but I would have to package it up and pay return shipping costs on it.  The more I thought about it the more I thought what the heck, put it in the closet and there it has been staring at me every time I open my closet door.  NO! no Cyber Monday for me.

A dreary gray November day checking in right this very minute at 34 degrees, to get into the 40s later today.  Rain in the forecast and perhaps some snow for tomorrow.  You would think my Florida relatives would invite me to come for a visit. 

I have quite a few telephone calls to make this morning so this is a very short post.  I hope you all have a very peaceful week.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Another one of those days…

rainy with the temp checking in at 54 degrees to be dropping all afternoon with the rain turning to light snow.  I am not ready for this!!  Winter go away.

I made it to the K-Mart this morning.  And, yes, you guessed it, I brought some more things for Christmas.  I keep saying I am done and then I turn right around and buy something else.  I need somebody to stop me.  LOL  I still have 2 birthday presents to buy, one Dec 23 and the other Dec 24.  I think those will be money as they are both hard to buy for.

Thanksgiving was very nice.  I enjoyed the time spent with my son in law’s family.  Several little kids there this year, so that was nice.  The food was delicious.

Not much else to write about today.  I hope you all are enjoying a peaceful weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!
