Raining

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Welcome back!

It is raining right now., The lightning was oing on earlier so had to turn everything off. No fun.

Went out and got soggy. At least I didn’t ge the carpet soggy when I came it. If it was tile flooring, it would be easier to clean up, but this apartment has carpeting right near the front door.

some of the apartments are without power right now. The electric company is circling the block trying to figure out where the interruption is so they can fix it. Meanwhile, people are not happy. We are one of the few that have not lost power this time. That’s cool, except for the fact that we had to turn everything off because of the lightning. Oh well, at least we are dry.

He’s getting older

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

I know that my husband is getting older. I need to think about getting some of the best multivitamin for men for him.

He has had surgery and is now recovering nicely. The pain that he was in is fading and the soreness is getting smaller and smaller. Soon he will not be having pain from the operation and he will be fully recovered.

We are both looking forward to that day will glee. We had both been worried about the operation since it was located in a very person place. He made it through and now is on the downhill side of it. :)

Tomorrow

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Tomorrow, he will be operated on. My husband that is.

He has been waiting for this to happen since the beginning of November of 2009. Thank God he has not been waiting 12 months, but it has been long enough. I have a bag ready with stuff to keep me occupied while he is in surgery. If I had any promotional items that I could share, I know there will be a lot of other people waiting also.

He is nervouse about this. It is occurring in a very personal place, so the nervousness is understandable. He is also impatient top get it over with and no longer will he need to be catheterized. I mentioned in earlier posts that he considers it to be another type of torture. Well, time will tell. He is sleeping right now and I hope that he is getting the rest that he needs for tomorrow.

Would You Believe…

Friday, November 27th, 2009

There is another movie out. Another disaster, only this time supposedly the whole world will end.

Of course that means that life insurance would not necessarily be a bonus. However, who knows, if the world does not end and you do not survive, your family would benefit.

I often wonder where people get all of these idea about things ending. I sometimes think that they might be writing down their nightmares and then the nightmares become new movies. What do you think?

He’s better

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

My husband is better. He isn’t throwing up a lot right now.

I thought about all of the antibiotics that he’d been taking, and remembered that thay can mess up your digestion. At first, I was thinking that he was allergic to something new and I thought about getting some new air filters for the apartment.

Now that I remembered about how the stomach can be sensitive to too many medicines, I got him some yogurt to eat. So far, it seems to be working and he is definitely feeling better.

That is a relief. :)

Singed Eyebrows

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

My husband has recently gone through some pain with his big toenail. Now he’s trying to make himself bald.

Yes, I did say bald. Now, you might wonder what that has to do with singed eyebrows. Well, that is what I am going to talk about.

He likes to keep his hair short. Do you remember the buzz cut? Well, every once in a while, he gives himself one of those hair styles. This time however, the clippers had another idea of their own. It is called shorting out. Suddenly.

I heard a pop, a yipe, and then a loud thunk. Of course being the calm person that I am (ahem), I asked him if he was okay. He said yes, but that he just lost part of his eyebrow. That comment did nothing to calm me down. I checked him out as he brought out the offending clippers. Yup, one of his eyebrows had parts missing. It was a very interesting look for him, but not to be recommended. I trimmed his eyebrows so that they both matched. He gave me the clippers to check the cord for any breaks. It did not have any, but I am not ready to become a widow and I cut the cord so the clippers can’t be used again.

I am thankful that I still have a husband. He was wearing his flip flops at the time of the short and the electricity did not harm him except for the eyebrow of course.;)

Is Anybody Listening?

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Ok, I have been reading. I have been watching.

There are so many people that do not want Obama-care that it is unreal. The news talks about the protesters. The politicians ignore those speaking out. People from other countries are making comments. The BBC website has a lot of comments.

What I do not hear is a reasonable way to fix things. Politicians in control of our health created Medicare and Medicaid. Politicians are the ones who have helped this country into having a hard time financially, not just the investors, banks, and stock brokers alone. Why would we want them in charge of our collective health? Remember, they have their own health-care system. They would not suffer.

Grrrrr

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

I know that is not a word, but right now that is how I feel.
GRRRRRR

I was trying to do something on the computer, and the memory has gotten real tight. I have no idea why, but it has gotten tight. Down to 5% of all things. I am no expert, but that sounds wrong. I know that laptop memory can be improved and expanded. I just wonder about table top computers.

I was working on something, the next I knew, it was frozen. YUK The only thing that I could do was to hit the reset button. A narrow excape, but from what?

What was it that I said before? Oh yeah…..Grrrrr.

Heat Wave

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

The heat wave is continuing.

We have been asked to cut down on electricity.

In Florida, the NASA program has had to hold off on a launch. Too bad they cannot send the rain our way.

Rolling Blackouts

Friday, July 10th, 2009

The heat is on. The threat of rolling blackouts is also on if people do not find a way to cut back on their electric usage.

Since we live in a part of Texas where the heat goes over 100, cutting back on the AC is not reasonable for those with health problems. Turning off extra lights, going on line after 10 pm, not watching TV all the time, however are reasonable.

Here is hoping that we do not get blacked out.
