It's Another Gorgeous Day

Here it is, yet another beautiful temperate day.  You'll see in the first picture. Not supposed to get above the 50's in temp. 

In the second picture, you can see I have long hair blowing in the wind and...boot cut bottom pants on.  Equally blowing in the wind.  So was my jacket. (blowing in the wind)   It was 48 F. when I started. 

Hey, the mystery is over.  Last night Katie horked up a record sized, extremely large and wet return of the merchandise.  I heard it start when she was in her recliner.  I had a small cake in a paper plate in front of me, as I was sitting in MY chair.  It was her or me.  I jumped up with the paper plate and made it just in time.  Horked all over the plate and of course the little cake.  Sigh. I aso heard a hork in the night.  Got up the usual time  this morning and after turning on the light, I looked around the bedroom and there it was...in the middle of the threshhold.  This one was kibble, the size of a jumbo egg and fairly easy to get up.  I no longer have my breath held as to when she will un-do the carpet cleaning.  That time came yesterday. 

Have to leave the house at 1330 to get my flu shot.  I took too long to call about it. I usually try for early in the month.  My Dr. doesn't seem to feel I should get the newest pneumonia shot. I have the one they gave what...20 years ago?  But when I asked him about the whoopty-do one of now, he didn't think I should because of could-be problems relating to my heart surgery.  My surgery was far more complex than what most think of when they think of heart surgery. Not the valve thing.   I read about it all, and of course, he is right.  That shot's side effects and consequences-- once you read about it in their own brochure-- is enough to make a crocodile run. Assuming you threatened him with a pew-moany shot, that is. 

Here I go...just getting started

Got my little leather bag and a baseball hat at my side. 

OH MY!

 I'm fuller'n a tick.  Stuffed all the way up.  Had a thick home made tuna salad sandwich.  Then I went back and cleaned out the bowl of its remaining tuna,  maybe quarter of a cup--- but boy, it pushed me all the way over the edge.  

Was out on Blankenship Field this early morning, where high school football is played and hoofed it around the track.  I have just started that up agan  (walking) after a very long absence away from walking etc. All I have been doing when I had time and energy to do so, was aerobics.  I was so covered up this year I didn't even do that much.  BUT now I am starting again.  Not quite as fast as I was but I will be.  

I should be in the kitchen doing the wood floor.  I am so stuffed, I feel as torpid as a cold turtle.  (probably look like one too).   Since I started this blog I have steadily sneezed about every 10 seconds.  All the way to now.  There went another.  It's a wonder I haven't scared the cat.  Can't be the tunafish.  Had it for supper yesterday.  Ah.  Seems to have quit. Probably maybe 15 or so.  

Last night..rather the night before, I woke in themiddle of the night with Katie's arms holding my upper arm.  She'd laid her head and throat on my arm as well.  Who wouldn't go straight back to sleep, and  that, smiling.  Warmth and love.  Can't beat that.

OK  The tub awaits it ceaning...the floor await's IT'S.  Oh I am stuffed.

Grr...But Only About the Television

My gosh,  I got interested all at once and to the nth degree in watching Walker, Texas Ranger.  I happened on it a few weeks ago..at a very opportune part so it would seem and I have been hooked on it since.  LOVE it.  Couldn't miss any of the shows the past several weeks I have been watching.   I always swore I wouldn;t like it, that show but it's right up my alley.  And I see that H&ITV is no longer in the channel line up on antenna type TV.  I cut the cord a long time ago and saved thousands by doing so.  I have internet...and that's it.  I have Magic Jack phone service, an internet protocol provided phone service-- complete with 911.  The entire years charge of/for that service, is what I had to pay for one month of Comcast phone service when I quit.  One month's payment amount now pays the entire year. 

I am sad when I can't see several favorite shows because of antenna TV but I see plenty, regardess.  There is something wrong these past several weeks with H&I channel- which went "out" so much one could hardly look at it at all.  Once they fix it, it will be back.  To save thousands, it's worth the inconvenience.

My dearest furriends and friends here in the CB have lifted me up very high with the cards, the love they wrote and shared with me, and calls.  I am so grateful for each and every one of you, and I always will be.  Everything you sent, even some flowers is in Erich's memory book.  Thank you.

I started my low impact aerobics again.  UTube upped and took away my Premium status, so that caused me to miss one!  I wrote UTube  and it was reinstated quickly.  I was allowing everything to keep me stilled as though everything else was not important but that has lifted thanks to all the love.  Guess what?  A dear friend and her husband are coming to see Katie and me Nov 1, 1 I think it is.  My home is still a very small plain one; as I never saw much use in fancying it up.  But they don't care.  We are grateful for one another's friendship.  Who cares what the house looks like?  The cat is the most impawtent.  And her is a beeyootee! 

Hey...want to show you a present I got.  A sterling silver little basket from Imelda Marco's house in Manila.  I don't  think I showed you.  My middle boy brought it and other things back as souvenirs. from the Philippines.  They sell little things to help support that museum.  Lemme go take the pic.  I won't polish.  May bend it. 

Another Day...and I got Very Irritated

 Howdy!  Just got back from Face Book whereupon a person decided to  take it upon themselves  to tell all and sundry others  on a posting *I* had made-- that I must have been in a convenience store because everywhere else, prices were lower so I had to have been wrong.  Snarky in tone  I have bourne snark from that person for years, but this time, it flew all over me.  I can take so much--- and my Patience Cape I  mentally tie on for occasions like this (it's red, I guess)  is ragged and tattered, so until I mend it, it won't keep someone's snark from bothering me.  I was and am, p-i double s'd.. 

Moving on, look at what a dear friend had sent to me.  

They are notes in linen...sealed in a linen envelope and each note is different and beautifully written.  I will not open more than one a day and I will carefully save them to re-start when I have opened all of the notes.  Look at the  small perfect envelope in the back, with each sealed with a touch of adhesive-- and I have shown it in front too. The gift box it came in has that sweet open window in front.  I shall save that as well.  

Guys, it is a beautiful day.  One of a string of those beautiful days.  I am usually in bed before 2200 and rising at 0700.  A big departure from my bed-to-be normal. Amazing.  But for all that sleep I am still yawning and burning eyed by very early evening.  I wonder if it will take a lon time to get fully rested? Seems like though it hasn't been that long ago that I was  finally able to get to sleep through the night... a few weeks.

 Now...I need to get out in the beautiful day starting tomorrow and whiz around the track.  I am very out of shape now.  Someone come with me.  More fun talking and stuff. 

One of Katie's other fave brothers, along with my fave DIL and my fave grandson James, are in the very well known beach area of Myrtle Beach,  SC. for a space of time.  They must have gotten there a few hours ago.  If anyone deserves that vacation, they do.  Unless something awful happens, I won't even text them just to give them a complete break from here and all they left behind temporarily. 

Thanks for letting me say I got mad up there in the first paragraph.
