Serene Sunday
Going to be a hot one here, woke up at 5.30 and just could not sleep as already too hot. Have just closed all windows and balcony doors, and switched on the AC.
Will get an early start to my chores as have already had coffee and my usual breakfast (protein oatmeal and 8 strawberries)...off to the shower, and then cleaning out the cupboard under the kitchen sink..An avocado salad and shrimp lunch, the pool for some exercise, and if "on a roll" with the closet/cupboard thing will do the hall closet while the laundry gets done. So terribly mundane, ordinary and boring, but my knee has been such a bother the last month and a half that I have been unable to do anything and I need to do these menial tasks.
Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday, doing what is best for you, and for those in pain my best to you and prayers for improvement...

Jennifer, sometimes we HAVE to do those mundane tasks.
Friday my son and DIL came by for lunch. Then our son took his nap before going back to work. My DIL and I went to the living room. Began talking about our cell phones. I was trying to get mine to do something. She and I spent FOUR hours messing around with our phones! Where did those hours go.
Yesterday our DIL came over and WE made quillows. One for our son, one for her son's dorm room. We have one more to do today for our grandson's friend who is also going off to college. Again, we spent the entire day doing those 2 quillows! How fast the day goes when you are concentrating on something like that!!
Today, we will finish the last quillow. I say we, but she doesn't sew. But she is very good at measuring, cutting and pinning. Those are the things that get my back!
Prayers for all who need them!
Everyone have a fantabulous day.

I am resting in my hotel room, awaiting our trip to the St. Louis airport for our flight to Philadelphia, for our trip home after our lovely weekend here. Casey, my daughter-in-law, was awesome in her performance as Maria in "The Sound of Music." The entire cast, including the children, were awesome.
So, today will be a travel day. Nothing exciting. See you all when I get home.
Hugs and prayers to all.

Morning OFF family...guess if anyone wants to know what I have been up to go back to thursdays whats happening post and read all about it...still not sure what will happen to this woman but if I have my way charges will be charged on her!! Have been living in fear for last few days and headache from hell from the stress! BBQ is saturday and its on the other side near where this woman lives. Thought about calling it off until further notice but then that wouldn't be fair to the others. Just want to get it over and done with and that will be the end of it. No more. As for the holiday dinner(s) not sure IF I will do it or not. Depends on how this goes I guess. Wanted so much to have a chili cook off contest this fall but now I am not sure if I want to do that either. Yes I am afraid...Police told me to watch my back and not to be afraid to call on even a dirty look if I feel threatened by it from her. OK. But still....
Need to clean the refrigerator out today thats for sure! Something spilled in it and I have no idea what it could be. I hate this small ref. we have and its a pain to try to fit anything in it! Looking for a small freezer also. This also has a small freezer and hard to buy anything that might be large and make it fit. We are using the ref in the club house for extra storage...actually the freezer part we are using.
So that is about it for my excitement...been lurking reading and keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers...have a good day.

PS just after 11 am here...so far cops here 3 times already! Yes 3 times! Once for tenant finding pills all overthe ground outside her place...next time was car broke into...next time I am standing here doing dishes call over scanner...DOA at my other complex!!! I scream out the door for Rick...he comes running inside I hear the apartment number...he says go grab the keys and he runs...I get the keys and I run...hell I can't run anymore with this old body!! Police and ambulance already there...Rick stops me says do not go inside...like I want to?????? Not sure if its a heart attack or what but he is dead....56 years old...I can't take much more of this I need a vacation!!! Squad guy asks me if I am o...I said not really but yes...he said take a deep breath and relax...easy for him to say...Maybe a good stiff drink would help?? I doubt it!!
Thanks for being here....HUGS
Pretty mundane here, too. Trying to stay cool as always. 89 degrees and going up. Juliette sitting on the recliner arm next to me, relaxing ... she's already getting the bumpies again. Hope they're not as bad this time. It's not even been a month since she got her shot.
Talked to mom this morning, told her about my knee surgery. She asked who would take care of me. I said I'd figure it out as usual. She said, "Well, I can't come down there." I said, "You didn't come for my last two surgeries, so I figured that." She doesn't travel anymore. I never expect her to come to wherever I am. The last time she was in a home I lived in was the condo in Grand Rapids, when I first bought it, I had a housewarming party and my brother Ed brought her up.
Not much else happening. Finishing up my coffee, then I'll get in the shower, have lunch and off to work later this afternoon. We'll be short one guy the next two weeks but that's what happens in the summer.
Judy, sounds like you have too much excitement in your life. Sit down with a cool drink (is there a pool?) and relax a bit ... a NASCAR race? next week there's the Olympics and there are equestrian events ... you like the horsies. I'm looking forward to the Olympics, but I like the swimming, gymnastics and track more ... love Michael Phelps ... nice looking at the guys in their skimpy suits (I used to cover men's swimming in college ... man, that was fun!).
Have a good day. Stay cool.
Hi Eileen! I am waiting for the horse events...but I will probably miss them being so out of it as usual...no pool here and no NASCAR race today...seems each time we try to relax more things happen!
Boy oh boy how in the world does your cat get this if she is an indoor cat??? Weird huh? Hope she will not suffer like before!
Its 88* here and Rick is cleaning the grill for our corn on the cob and hot dogs. Hopefully we will make it through our meal without a phone call...had one just as he started to get ready to clean it...tenants bathtub was full of dirty water that backed up...ewwww so off he went to get that taken care of. No rest for those that are worn out I guess! He said he was taking tomorrow off...asked me if I would. I have a new tenant coming in at 10 to sign a lease so maybe after he gets that signed and all that done I will close up and get shopping done for the BBQ this saturday...still not looking forward to this at all but others are...
Hope you find someone that can take care of you Eileen!! It has to be hard being far away from people that know you that can care for you....best wishes and will keep you in my prayers and thoughts for a good turn out this time!!!

Really going through a rough time with the bi-polar thing. Didn't go to bed at all last night. Staring off into space most of the time. Can't even get myself to pray for me or anyone else even tho I believe that it's what I need most of all. Even music isn't helping. That's when I know I'm in trouble. When I can't "feel" the music it's bad.Trying to talk myself into doing something. Anything. I have to get my head on straight as I have a new client I will be sitting for (2 dogs: 1 spaniel, 1 greyhound/doberman mix.) I haven't kept up with posting here for a while. FB is easier because it's short answers, etc. Besides I don't like to admit when I'm out of control. Have appointment with my PNP tomorrow, not that I think it will do any good. In 3 months I have gone from depressed to manic and now back to depressed. Nothing bad is happening here that is causing the depression. Business is going well. Bills are all paid for this month and I can stock up on good foods now. Bi-polar problems come up for no known reason sometimes. I know this one is due to medication changes which aren't easy as we try to find the right drug at the right dose. I'm really ready to go back to my original drug called Triavil. I'll talk to Darren about that tomorrow. This clearly isn't working for me. Sorry to drop this all on you, but I am trying to hide it from Ellen. She is leaving on a trip soon and I don't want to spoil it for her. I just stay in my room until she leaves for work. Then in the evenings I just sit and watch TV. Yesterday I didn't touch the computer until 8:30PM. It use to be that I was up and on the computer by 6 or 6:30 in the morning. Boy, I would like to be back in that routine.
Hugs, Mag
