Holly, a very happy anniversary! We were 37 days away from #53. Enjoy each other every day you can. 

Judy, I apologize for not mentioning Andrew. Everyone has to find their own way. Greg says don't quit until you have another job lined up, but give a two weeks' notice, lol.

Good Morning, It is pouring down rain here this morning.  My helper is coming this morning, she'll be here in about a half hour.  I'm not feeling very bright this morning, but at least I'm up and about, have my makeup on and am dressed.

Hope you all have a wonderful day, got to be better than here!!!  Hope you are all feeling well, BJ.

I've had my a/c on for about a month. I like it colder at night.

Not much happening here. Going to make an appt. with the ENT, as my ears are still popping. 

I'm going to do some random carpet shampooing later in the high traffic areas. I've put it off for weeks. 


 

No apology necessary, Devonne.  I usually don't work here from a list so about the time I think I'm done and post, I remember someone I wanted to reply to.  Oh well, next time...then next time I'm on to something or someone else.  However, like all of us, I care and pray and often have one of you one my mind just like family.


So... last evening, we tried the new Broaster chicken that's popped up in a gas station  in Westville, 3 miles from here.  They hadn't cooked any ahead due to it being a holiday and they weren't sure of customers because of the holiday, but the guy there said he'd cook me some.  And it was a disappointment.  Covered with what looked like a fried batter.  Too hard and not like the one we like that's much farther away.  Since it's a brand, I would think it'd all be the same like KFC.  And very expensive (to me).  $15.00 for 8 pieces.  Am I living in a dream world?  I suppose that is par for the course these days.  While waiting, we bopped down the road to Dollar General and I got the paper goods I need for Friday which helps out.  

Holly, how nice of your cousin to post that pic.   And of you to realize the importance of including everyone.  
For my wedding, 1st one, I had my first cousin, Ellen and his first cousin, Linda as my two flower girls.  Both their mothers, who didn't know each other but must have conferred, had their long hair done in banana curls, and they looked darling in their matching dresses.  We had no ring bearer.  No little boy in the families for that.
Do you still have your wedding dress?  Got rid of mine, that one...failed marriage, but I have the long, one I wore with Howard, a print and in style in 1978 when long dresses (we didn't know the word MAXI) were popular, like they are now.  

Better go and carry on.  We still have no house phone.  No one showed up last Friday even though we kept getting messages til 9 pm that "the technician is on his way".  Now they're supposed to come today between 1 and 5.  We'll see...

Mary Lou, can you tell when you are in afib? I’ve had two ablations, one for afib and one for flutter- one is the right side of the heart, the other is the left. They were each done same day. After the second, which was 2.5 years ago, he implanted a device under the skin that has a receiver (looks like a phone) and it sends a signal to the company. The doc gets a report once a month telling him if there was afib. I’m on eliquis to prevent stroke- does the same thing as Coumadin but I don’t need bloodwork all the time. I’m also on metoprolol, because I can’t keep my heart rate under 90 without it. I’m happy to answer any questions about the experience. The only medical advice I’d give would be to do what your doc says. They go in a vein in your groin ( I don’t know if the procedure has changed, if they can go in the arm now.) I had to lay flat for 4 hours after, which was such a pain, I had to void so bad by the end of the 4 hours!

This has been some week. Mr Hyde reared his ugly Sunday evening and hasn’t left, not even for a few minutes! We’re supposed to go upstate tomorrow and am dreading every minute. I’m trying to come up with an excuse, but DH says we have to go this time.
Add insult to injury, our roof is leaking near the chimney, we think. We had a roof guy here who spent over 2 hours here and told us they don’t do that kind of repair and we need a chimney guy. He came the same day and gave us a whopping estimate and said it would be about 2 months before he could do the work. 😵‍💫
I have a call out to another roofing guy. I guess I’m glad neither thinks we need a new roof. It just never ends here. DH complains about living here every day.
With regards to AFib, as Holly knows DH is always in aFib….and that’s with medication. It doesn’t stop him from jogging, etc. To him it’s an annoyance and something he has no control over…this is bad for a control freak like him.
We’ve only used the AC twice and only for a few hours each time. 🤷‍♀️

=19.5pxGood Morning, it has been raining here, but just a tiny bit now.  Very cloudy.  I have no plans for the day and neither has Frank.  He has a Dr. appt tomorrow.  Can't believe it will be June in a few days.  My bright pink rhodie is dropping petals pretty regularly; the ground is bright pink underneath.

I really don't have anything to say this morning, so will wish you all well and hope you all have a wonderful day, BJ.

Holly- thanks for letting me know and for notifying FB. They sent me an email.

HOLLY Happy Anniversary, I am so sorry I'm late, you are just a little behind us! My sis was our flower girl, she moaned about not being dressed the same as the bridesmaids, she wore the same as me. Sisters!!! We are so very close now, but drove each other nuts when she was little, she is 13 yrs younger!
I'll have to find a picture of our wedding group.

That's good news about your hearing help SANDRA so good you can get to Bingo, I wish you luck tonight!! I am taking your advice and resting up this week as much as possible, I'm too old to be getting sick like that and hoping to make an instant recovery!

HOLLY that was nice of you to report JANET's hack on Facebook, seems like more and more are getting hacked these days. I got a message request from someone, he said I have a nice smile - not falling for that one LOL, so easy for someone who is lonely to fall into a trap.

DEVONNE not really 100% yet, this might take a while, at least I am not coughing at night, and I am taking something to help clear my lungs. I am missing training with he girls, but there is no way I'd survive a session, maybe next week LOL

MARYLOU god to hear that you are not needing urgent help, it's good when they can put you off as non critical! I saw you take Jardiance, I thought it was something to do etc diabetes, W's sister took it for years, not sure if she still does. We don't take care of her pharmacy bill anymore. 

JANET so sorry that the Mr has appeared again, hopefully he will disappear on the trip,   how long? Will he ever be happy do you think.

CHERYL good luck finding a swim suit, seems like they are pretty skimpy for the kids these days, I saw some that would be OK for an 18yr old, NOT the 5Yr they were actually for. Finding a 2 piece is a good idea, here we can buy separates, so much better. 

I have been pottering about, got caught up on washing, wanted to give the house a good clean, get the gems out, and get all the bed linens done. 

Between that and getting the kitchen clean and Drs appointment I was tired. 
I saw the kidney guy yesterday, my function is fluctuating, I had the bloodwork/urine done hours before getting sick, he thinks it's messed with my readings. So now I need to see him again in 4 months. 

I am marking the QAYG blocks, they are going to be bumpy on the back, but can't worry about it, was only gong to be a 'see how you go quilting' exercise. I will give it away the finished, so therefore I may machine sew the joining strips instead of hand sewing as I usually do. I did one for Pete on the machine, as I knew it would be getting lots of wear and washing, it's help up well, and not really noticeable. 

I will pick up Dean today, he has exams and they leave school after the exam, so tis week it's mostly been finished by 10..45am, the Mr picked him up yesterday, they had an early lunch on the way home, I'll get him a drink, not lunch today, he'll be home before 11.30. John will probably want a drink as well, and I'll get me a coffee.

My sis was messaging us all yesterday, her dau and DDIL and Megan and me. She found that Jesus Christ Superstar is going to be in Sydney in November, so we ended up getting tickets. No idea on the cast yet, they haven't said. So I hope they are good. We have a small row of 5 (5 of us ) right near the stage, so it should be good. 

Time for me to get dressed and start my day, I have had breakfast, and read the papers. 

 

Good Morning!!  Hope everyone is feeling well.  My typing is taking me a long time as I have to correct so much of it as I go along. I guess 84 will do that to you.  I really have nothing to say this morning.  It is fairly cloudy and slight breeze, so will likely stay inside today.  Frank has a Dr. appt late this afternoon.  Rhonda is coming to go with him.  So that's nice.

Am going to sign off now, as I have nothing more to say.  Wishing you all well, have a wonderful day, BJ.
