Welcome back!

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.

Remember in a previous blog how I talked about insurance?

I forgot one ! What else is new.

I forgot to mention rv insurance. I wish that we had an RV. Then instead of having to pack and be shuffled around, we would just put stuff in the RV and then go where we did not have to be concerned about needing to pack.

Of course, I know that we are pack rats (that’s one of the things that makes packing harder). So, the RV would eventually need to be emptied out, but that would be on OUR schedule.

It’s time for a quick trim.

My hair has gotten too long for my comfort. What I usually do is pull it up and through an empty tape roll that used to hold some box tape. You know the stuff, it is clear and about 2″ across.

When I hold the hair through the empty roll, I then place the scissors across the roll and snip what hair shows above the cardboard roll. It seems to work rather neatly. I have never had someone look at me, scream, and then run away. I won’t win any beauty contest, but my head is cooler, and the hair does not get into everything anymore.

If you are in the mood to lose weight, the summer weather should make it easy.

SWEAT IT OUT!

I wish that it was so easy. Or that you could put part of your (my) anatomy out in the rain and it would melt off. That would beat the latest fat burners. It is not so easy as that, unfortunately. It seems that it must be done the ‘old fashioned’ way. I have tried to cut back on what I eat. Most times I only eat one meal a day.

I look in the mirror and do not see much change. At least I do not increase right now. I am too busy sweating to do that.

Remember the mention of an overdraft?

I DOOD IT. Did I mention that I have been taking a new medicine? Well, that will only go so far. It won’t bring back the money lost from an overdraft. That $35.00 might as well be locked in solid steel metal buildings with walls 3 feet thick. It ain’t coming back to me any time soon.

I do believe that I am getting more used to the new medicine, but not soon enough. Slurred speech, slow to awaken each morning, groggy thinking.

The only part that is not a drawback is the absence of pain. I do NOT want that back any time soon.

A friend stopped by just now and was frustrated that he ran out of money for cigarettes. I have no idea if electronic cigarettes would help him or not. I guess it all depends on how much they cost.

He was working outside today and when he took a break, he met someone new. A fox kit stopped by and watched him. He sat down and watched right back. He tried to get the kit to get close, but it didn’t. They sat that way and watched each other for several minutes. Long enough to really study him and note that its chest was slightly red and the rest of it was kind of gray. The smile on our friend’s face when he told us about it was really amazing.

How often do we get a chance to study real wild critters without an interruption?

After what has gone on lately, mom falling and barely avoiding getting hurt. I almost fell getting into my own bathtub.

Being tired does make me clumsy. Maybe walk in bathtubs aren’t in all homes, I just wish (at times) that we had one in our apartment. It sure would make bathing easier. No more bumping my shins, hurting my knees, or worrying about tripping and falling.

Of course the one who needs that type of tub the most is mom. I do not want her to get hurt really bad. She has so far co-operated with not having throw rugs. Now we just need to get her to wear some proper shoes when she walks around her apartment. No more walking with just socks.

Yes, the new medication works. Relief is wonderful. The only drawback that I can see is that it makes me drowsy.

It takes longer in the morning for me to function. I slur my words, and my balance is not quite right. As the day goes along, it gets better. At least I can now feel what the absence of pain is like.

Of course, if I bang my shin, it still hurts, but my joints are no longer feeling as if they are on fire.

Lately I have been having trouble with my pain levels increasing. This is in spite of taking Ultram.

Went to the doctor and he suggested using a new (for me) medication called Amitriptylin. In high doses it is used to help alter moods. Well, I do not need the altering of my moods, but I do need some relief from pain. After months, it can get to you. He explained that in low doses, it will help my previous medicine work better. I will see what happens.

It happened!

What, you might say, happened? Well, my husband gets social security disability that shows on the third of each month. Today, it showed EARLY. Totally wonderful.

Now, if only the money would last longer than just the fourth day.
