Welcome back!

His arm is looking good. We recently had a regular doctor’s office visit and got a good report there. The incision on my husband’s arm is not looking infected, swollen or extremely irritated.

These are all good signs. He has not asked for any pain pills in a couple of days. The only time it gets sore now is when he forgets and tries to use it to lift something, or bumps it.

Soon he will be able to get the stitches out, and be able to use his arm again.

Yes, the cancer on his arm is gone. He is however having trouble with the soreness because of the operation.

I am thankful that the operation only took one cut to remove all of the cancer. The pain pills that my husband has are helping with the hurt, but the best way to get the hurt gone is for it to finish healing.

I am seriously outraged.

A woman, who knew that she was legally blind, decided to go shopping. She had her two daughters in the car with her. Oh, by the way, she also has never had a driver’s license. She decided to leave the mall, drove out into the intersection and killed a man who was on a bike run with other bikers.

She told the police officer that she didn’t see him. She hemmed and hawed about whether or not she could actually tell if the light was in her favor. She also told the office that she was legally blind.

When she went to court for this, she tried to get a lower sentence and get the court to feel sorry for her since she couldn’t see very well. The judge threw out her appeal and sent her to full trial. The jury found her guilty of manslaughter. Now, her family is trying to say that she did not get a fair trial since she is black.

I wonder just how fair the trial was for the man she killed when she broke the law and got behind the wheel of the car she was driving? Her family has offered no sorrow for the man killed, or for his family.

What’s up?

The price of gas, the price of prunes, the price of food, the price of almost anything. That’s what’s up.

Heard that before? If you have to commute to do anything, you know all of this. Online Schools, are their prices up? I don’t know. How some people are surviving is amazing to me.

There are so many other countries that are in worse shape than ours is, yet I know that things are happening. I truly do not want things to get worse. Families with children are in fragile shape. I wish there was some way to put protection around them so the economy would not destroy them. The lists of things that families need to purchase for the kids to go back to school are amazing.

I am so fuzzy headed right now thinking about these things. How do they do it?

I’ve thought about relocating, but the going rate on apartments right now is out of sight.

Where we are staying, the rent is based on the income of each renter. Otherwise, the rents would be over $500 for even a dump. We have wondered about getting steel buildings to put all of our stuff in, but since it is really hot right now, that would be a bad idea. Everything would be melted, or…..

I have to have air-conditioning, so does my husband, so living in a steel building is not the brightest idea for us, unless it was extremely insulated. Even then, we would have to have a lot to put it on. We will keep packing, anyway.

There are things happening in our neighborhood that some do not like.

Gas is being taken out of gas tanks, some have had windows broken and cars rifled. I understand that the trash being gotten into and being scattered is being done by raccoons. But raccoons cannot get car doors open, or gas siphoned from tanks. I think that some security cameras might make the difference and tell people what is really going on. The raccoons have been actually seen by my husband and others. This other stuff, however, the culprit has managed to stay unseen. People in this neighborhood cannot afford to have expensive gasoline stolen, or things taken out of their cars.

We’ll see.

Isn’t August supposed to be in the fall, or nearly there?

I can’t tell it by this heat that we have going here in Texas. When fall comes, the leaves start to change, people start to shop for things they will need in the winter, snow boots, winter coats, yata, yata, yata. Well, I guess that it is not yet fall. If someone walked into a store and asked about any of those things the sales people would think they were totally nuts.

The weather people refused to say that it is going to have a slight cool spell, because the temperature will only drop from 100 to 99. That’s a drop? Who are they trying to kid?

Another thing to think about if you use a swimming pool, or outdoor spa - wrinkles.

These days people have noticed that too much time outside can cause wrinkles. If you don’t want to spend a lot of time looking up wrinkle cream reviews, make sure to use a lot of sunscreen lotion to protect your skin.

My husband used to spend a lot of time in the sun, and now he has to have his skin checked for things that should not be there. Well, I do not let him just stand in the sun anymore, I remind him to get in the shade ( being hot outside is another reminder). We will see what happens in a couple of months.

I guess that people have a lot of ways that they like to relax.

Me, I like to read, books, my bible, magazine, a lot of types of books. Some people like to get in a hot tub (aka spa), and let the warm water relax them. The only thing is that if the spa is outside you would also need spa covers to keep any trash, or leaves from getting in. I know that pools have covers, so spas would need covers, too.

There are times that I would dearly enjoy having a spa to sit in, and other times when a swimming pool would be great. I just would not want to have to clean them up in order to use them.

There was one thing that I did not think about when I was thinking about having an RV.

Guess what it was - motorhome repairs. If you have something that moves, it will one day need to be repaired. Even a home that does not move needs repairs from time to time.

Right now we are thinking about our van and the one to come and repairs. Needing the have an RV repaired on top of it all would really make me grumpy. Well, since we don’t have an RV, we do not have that repair to think about.
