An atrocious day…

Here’s how it went today…

Really crappy weather

Had a hard time finding good content for the blog

Barked my right shin really badly (won’t tell you how I did it, but it’s got a bunch of band-aids on it and they are sticking to my sweatpants, making the one leg ride up)

Got rained on as I took the garbage out

Forgot to cut my meat for supper (  had wanted to do it ahead of time)

Had a plague of flies that seemed to come out of nowhere–big ones, too–

My phone died for about an hour and a half  (it’s a landline, that’s not supposed to happen)

Caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror (something I rarely do) and I looked like I live under my car

All that being said, I am going to pour myself a glass of wine, go back to watching ER, have my supper and sleep until tomorrow morning

Hope you guys had a better day than I did.  I’m sure tomorrow will be better.

Have a good night all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

PS  I almost got scammed today by a fake medical bill, but it did not go through.  My Avira ant-virus warned me about the site.  Called my bank and they said it did not process.  Whew!

 

Another thing to watch out for..

You all have noticed that I do a lot of posts about animals being rescued.  I do not show any posts about animals that are clearly distressed, hurt, or abused.  That is because a lot of those are fake, and animals are actually being hurt.  It is totally sickening, so that’s why you don’t see that.

However, there is another issue–I will go to post a story and it will seem familiar–often it turns out that the story has been “stolen”  from another site like The Dodo (which is completely reliable) and re-labeled for some other outfit that I’ve never heard of.  This is more common than you think.  It just adds to the time and effort that have to be spent to bring you real content.

Why are people so despicable?

I’m sure that money is at the bottom of it–it usually is.

Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know that I am working very hard at “keeping it real” as the saying goes.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

This day completely got away from me..

Some days it’s just like that.

Seems like an hour or two has passed, and when you look at the clock–wham!.  The whole day has just about gone by.

I was out very early to the store this morning, but that didn’t take too much time.  Somehow it was enough to set me behind and I’ve been trying to catch up all day.

Had a nice long talk with my daughter yesterday.  It’s always good to catch up.

I also realized that I did not drink enough again today.  It’s deuced hard to learn a new habit (a good one–bad ones are very easy), so that will have to be addressed tomorrow.

Now it looks like we are about to get those showers and thunderstorms they’ve been talking about all day.  Great.

That about sums it up.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

July’s almost over..

Well, that sure went fast.

All the things I expected to do today–nope.

One of those days where it was virtually impossible to do what I wanted to do, and yet the day seemed to crawl by.

Go figure.

I am still feeling a lot better than I had been, so that’s something.

It was very cold again this morning–very unusual.  I hope to heaven we don’t have another winter like last winter.

On the plus side, the piece of boneless pork shoulder I cooked last night was marvelous and there’s plenty for tonight.  Cooking for one has been a major adjustment for me, but I seem to be getting the hang of it.

One of the posts today was about Jaws–that was a particular favorite of ours.  We saw it in the rerun theater when we were going together and we always watched it on Memorial Day to kick off our summer.  We used to catch a lot of sharks when we fished on Long Beach Island on vacation.  Lee did a perfect imitation of Robert Shaw singing Farewell and Adieu to you Fair Spanish Ladies.

Happy memories from a long time ago.

That’s about it for now.

Have a good night all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Saturday

Another quiet day today, which I can use.  Quiet is always good.

One bit of aggravation, though.  This morning when I opened my e-mail there was a bill from a doctor that Lee saw last August.  That is ridiculously late for billing.  Seems like it’s never done.  It wasn’t a large bill, but with all the modern technology available for billing one would think it could have been handled in a more timely manner.

Aside from that, all went well today.  I drank more water, and it may have helped (or it could be the placebo effect).

That about sums it up.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.,

God bless everybody.

Had a bit of a crash today

I had been feeling so-so for most of today, then in the afternoon I started to feel really crappy.  I realized it was most likely dehydration–I know I don’t drink enough, bad habit–.  I poured myself a full glass of water and sure enough I felt better.  Another one of the joys of getting older.

Today is my Dad’s birthday.  I miss him a lot.  I was a Daddy’s girl.

Today was one of those just-get-through-the-day days.

Tomorrow I’ll get better organized.  Why does that have a famous last words ring to it?

Enough rambling on for now.

Have a good night all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

A lot better today, overall

Great sleep last night, so today was a far cry from yesterday.

The weather was also very nice, although compared to yesterday almost anything would have been nice.  I truly have never seen anything like the weather we have had this year.   From last winters snow-laden deep freeze to this summers unbelievable heat wave and yesterdays storms of epic proportions, it has been a wild ride.

Next week I will resume the major overhauling of this place.

I will keep you all posted.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Today was basically…horrendous.

Last night I had one of those awful nights where you wake up just about every hour on the hour.  You are sitting there at 3 a m, knowing that the next day is going to be a disaster.   And there’s not much you can do about it.

Needless to say, everything I tried to do today was like pulling teeth.

I saw a statement from that very nice man who was tossed by the bison at Yellowstone.  He is really a good guy, who did the right thing, and he got flipped anyway.  It was the jerk in the white truck who decided to blast his horn, which was the last straw for the poor bison.  Very unfortunate situation.

What I am going to attempt tonight is to stay up a little later than I usually do, and see if that helps.

My friend in Florida went to the Dr. today for an odd rash that she has on her hand.  She’s had it for a couple of weeks–and it turned out  to be shingles.  We always kid that we take turns for assorted disasters.

All I need right now would be a case of shingles.

On that joyful note, I’ll close.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Being as I accomplished nothing today–I will leave you with this.

I know just how this guy feels.  He can’t seem to get anywhere.  At least he has the excuse of a mountain goat licking his leg.  I, alas, have no excuse whatsoever.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Patty

This is what I will wrap up with today–it is great!

It doesn’t get any better than this.  Brought tears to my eyes.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.
