Yesterday

Both of our appointments went well. With me all looked well with one exception...I'm vitamin B deficient and got a shot and can get a monthly shot or take pills. I'm opting for pills only because I don't want to have to go every month for a shot.....Richard's appointment went as expected.....It was very cold and the same for today.....BUT....50s, and 60s heading to hear 70 next week!!!That's good and bad. I'll love it but don't think plants will benefit. They'll be fooled into thinking it's spring and then get zapped when it turns back to winter😢...Loving the new bed and the deliciously snuggly fleece sheets!!......latet

Really Cold!!!

It's 8 here I know that doesn't seem that cold if you live in Minnesota but we are the south!! However, we'll get to 62 later this week. I wouldn't mind but I have a morning drs. appointment and Richard has one this afternoon.....Loving our new bed and the new sheets are fleece. I had flannel previously but fleece is even better!! I'm thinking I'll make chilli tonight..seems like the right thing for this weather......later

New Bed

All the parts came yesterday and with the help of Mr. Ciui  and the girls it got out together! We slept in it and one problem is that it is too high which means we'll have to take bedding and mattress off so we can adjust the legs. I slept great and Richard is still asleep....Raining now but a change to snow later so we'll stay in today. Tomorrow is the issue. We both have drs. Appointments tomorrow. We may reschedule depending on roads....later

Quiet Weekend

Our new bed hasn't come but we now have the sheets and hoping for bed coming in the next few days...Today I'll head to lab to get that taken care of for my Wednesday appointment which I may have to cancel if we get the predicted snow.  Richard also has appointment later on Wednesday. I'll also stop at Kroger s and the library....I couldn't get on Muirs blog this morning as it didn't come up so I could pull it up.....latet

TGIF

Looking forward to getting out new bed! Some of the new sheets came yesterday....Richard has eye appointment this morning but nothing I need to do....Every morning when I get up Whiskers is waiting for me. She comes into the bathroom with me and then runs to get tower where she waits for her treat. This morning no kitty. I called her..nothing! Finally I went down to basement/garage. As soon as I got to bottom of steps I heard her meow!!. She was locked in cold, dark basement all night!😢 I went down there about 6 last evening to get something and she obviously snuck in behind me.....poor baby!......I finished reading Becoming. It was really good and made me so sad to have to face the reality of our current president and his cronies in the white house.I think of the white house staff and how they loved the Obama's and who they are serving now...very depressing......later

Rainy Morning

I'll be heading to Wal-Mart as soon as it gets light. Sometime today parts of our new bed will arrive. Hopefully, it will be totally installed by the weekend....The girls will be here this afternoon and I hope the rain will be gone by then. Not much to do inside...I moved kitty's litter to downstairs which she adapted to right away☺.......later

Hump Day

Not sure what I'll be doing today...Walmar t maybe it Knoxville and Publix.....supposed to rain but normal January temps.....The new bed had been ordered along with bedding for it. Richard continues to sleep in his chair in the great room. Whiskers keeps him company but is in our bedroom in the morning waiting patiently for me to get up and give her her morning treat... Getting so, so sick of the shutdown!!! Trump is such a fool and a disgrace as a president!!!😡😡

Damn!!

Just lost my whole blog as I was finishing, so no blog today😠😠

Brrr!

Very cold but nothing like lots of the country!...Disgusted with outcome of both football games. The Ram who body slammed the Saint and wasn't penalized was beyond belief!! I really like the Chiefs and was so hopeful but Pats win again!😬.....Richard's back was very painful most of yesterday so he slept in his chair and is much better this morning.....I have dentist appointment this afternoon......later

What's Going On?

Usually out local NBC station is on at 4:30 but not today?!? It's basically local news and weather and I need to know the weather so I know what to wear! ......My worries about Madison driving to New York are over. She left early and is at Horsehead NY. I have never heard of it but will look it up. ......My plans today are haircut, Kroger and Subway for tonight's dinner.......later

It's Always Something!

Kitchen sink a problem and Richard is anti plumber. I need to run the dishwasher and can't use the sink! Maybe I'll just go to a movie and let R deal with it!!.....Rain coming later and cold and winter weather in the horizon....Still haven't gotten a haircut...Just can't believe the mess our country is in and pretty sure it will go from bad to worse with Trump in the Whitehouse!!😠.......latet

It Happened Again!!😡

Blog disappeared!!! Recap...book finished, going for haircut, Walmar T shopping...... 

Dreary Monday

The sun stayed hidden all day with on and off rain. Laundry got done and done other chores but it was a good day for reading! I'm still reading The Book Thief...a great read! Since it's on my tablet I can't tell how long it is but where I'm reading it's 79% ....I have no grand plan for today but I need a haircut so may do that latet.....Starting to worry early for Madison's drive to upstate New York. Her job starts on the 23rd and her plan is to leave on the 20th. ....later

The Weekend

It was a lackluster weekend here. Saturday the girls came and got a lot of cleaning done. ......Good sports news and Vol s basketball brought another win! It was a close call but a win against Florida. Yesterday it was football and also Saturday. I was happy for a Chief's win and Saint's also. Patriots also won and while I like them, I'm tired of seeing them win!!! Dreary, January Monday!.....later

Improved

Richard did much better  yesterday! He took a pill at 2 am and another at 7 but none since then and didn't need the walker, just the cane. He was walking around more. I hope this continues....We had a fire last night since the cold returned and very cold this morning. Chili will be on the menu tonight and no plans for the weekend.  .......later

AGAIN😠😠

I was near the end of a very long post about yesterday spent at the Dr T Ut!! We got there at 10:30 and got out after 4. We stopped at pharmacy to get RX  and were told it would be ready in hour and half!! We went to drive-in and are and went back and picked up meds. We got home at5:50 and we were exhausted. I got Richard settled in his chair where he planned to sleep.He took meds and we watched tv. Finally after nine I decided to Go to bed but he thought he could make it there and he did and slept well. We'll see how today goes!!.....latet

Brrr!

Winter is back after 2 weeks of balmy weather.We'll head back t ok the gym after time off for the holidays. We would have gone back on Monday but Spectrum was scheduled to come to address ongoing ptoblems. We would lose the internet, phones and some tv. An agent was here for 2 hrs. and changed settings outside and all was good and then a repeat of problems twice yesterday but it self corrected. Who knows about today.....We haven't had a fire for over a week due to warm weather but for sure we'll have one tonight!....later

Bye Bye Christmas

So Friday and Saturday were busy taking down and storing Christmas decor. It's always nice to get my house back....Yesterday was a lazy day and I got a lot of reading done. Richard got me Becoming for Christmas and it is really good!! When I'm finished I'll pass it on.....Yesterday we started watching Springsteen 's Broadway show but will finish it later. Tonight we'll be watching football and hoping for a Clemson win but not sure they can pull it off😡........Time for me to get a move on....laundry underway and I'll be heading to Wal-Mart this morning......later

Damn!!!

I was nearly finished with a fairly long blog when it disappeared so the shortened version now.  Very rainy so will mix a movie in Knoxville. Tomorrow will be bye bye Christmas at our house. Did some things yesterday and will do some more today. A warm and sunny weekend promised😀 but I fear the cold weather will appear soon!😡......later

Rainy Thursday

I guess it rained most of the night but I heard nothing. Nothing going on today but I'll start taking down more of Christmas. I'm ready to have my house back! I also need to wash the bed sheets and such. This warm weather makes me think that when it ends we'll be in for ice and snow😬.....Madison will be driving to upstate New York later this month and I'm already anxious about that! I'm hoping she'll love the finger lakes and her internship!...My kitty just curled up next to me on my chair which means I can't get up for a coffee refill!......later

Chargers

My tablet is 57% so decided to blog early. Yesterday it got up to 83% but down overnighy. I ordered a new charger yesterday and it will be here Friday. It has been so warm..60 yesterday but 74 on Monday!...The New year's meal was delicious and plenty leftover so dinner taken care of tonight.  Started reading Becoming yesterday but The Book Thief not yet finished. It's on my Kindle so don't want to finish it until I get my new charger. It is a great read!!!....Starting to take Christmas down a bit but major take down will be Saturday......later

Happy 2019!!

Slept past7:00 but got to bed about 15 past midnight. Plans today...watch the parade and football, make the traditional pork, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes ala Julia Child! .....later
