Good Morning, everyone
Well, Its Tuesday, and our flooring was suppose to be started this morning in the Kitchen and my Computer room./den.. but the flooring didnt get delivered last week, as promised,, Nana and the kids worked all weekend cleaning the walls down, I knew when the flooring hadnt been delivered by Friday, it was futile. I called the Manager at Lowe's yesterday morning, and explained to him, my situation.. The lady that called me back, said Nana had said it would be picked up.. I told her that was a damn lie, because Nana was with me when it was paid for, and we specifically said, it would have to be delivered, and I couldnt help. Well, anyway, its straightened out now, as far as delivery,, then they were going to start tomorrow, but that wont happen either, because the flooring has to acclimate to the room temperature for 48 hrs,, soooo,, supposedly it will start next Monday, and they will finish Tuesday, so I will have to get some paint, to paint the trim and 1/4 round that will be installed after he flooring is down. Also some spray insulation to shoot around the bottom, to see if I can seal off some of the air that comes in,, this back room floor is COLD!!!
Nana and I have gotten new phones,, the Windows Phone 7, by HTC, The "Surround" pretty cool... expensive, but cool.. still working on figuring it out.. each of us had to have a $25 a month Data plan (2GB) plus, we had to have the $30 a month family unlimited messaging plan, Plus $5 a month smartphone insurance (if these get broke, there is no way I could afford another @ $500) though I seen them at AT&T store for $200.. so not sure how much they really ran,, I think they want YOU to think, theyre giving you a huge break on costs,, still cost us $24 a piece..then the $85 more a month. Just when I thought I was going to get a break on the phone bill... Now if I get the kids to start paying for their phones with no other charges.. Hate to ask, when they are so strapped for money.. but ....oh well,, enough of that..
New horse in Farmville.. actually a couple,, one breedable,, the Black Beauty horse, and the winged Pegasus.. I have them both.. Black Beauty, I bred yesterday and got 25 foals to pass out,, may do more today.. not sure if I will or not..
Have Dr appt at 1pm today, with the GI doctor.. this one I seen a couple years ago. but he is in the same office, as the one that did the colonoscopies when I had the bleeding in the hospital the first week of January. So my appt to see Dr Thomas on the 14th of February was cancelled, because he isnt my GI doctor though he was the one on duty performing the colonoscopies.. Makes sense to me, LOL.. go to one that didnt look in my butt, lol
I have the computer cabinets cleaned out (cubby holes) well, they were, but I had to put some of it back in for the time being.. they'll still be able to move stuff around, after I disconnect the computer and other electronics,, Going to reformat (restore) my computer with the disk, sometime before all this happens,, this thing hasnt been right since I let the Geek Squad work on it when I bought it,, tried to get them to come out and fix it, but would cost another $100 dollars to fix what they screwed up... then as time went by, it quit taking updates from windows, HP, etc.. so will have alot of work and several days before it gets back to operating right.. Not sure I remember how to do all of it, its been so long since the last time I did it.. Plus I will be installing new speakers, that I didnt have before (side stereo) and may install a cd player around here somewhere, too..
Weather warmed up, all the snow is gone again, though we did get more over the weekend, it has melted already, after the huge storms that blew through sunday night.. Lake is flooded, though wont get up to the house,, but is almost to the top of the deck,, boat is sitting higher in the water than it has in a long time, LOL,, had to go out and pump the bilges yesterday.. Really need to get new cushions and floor this year for the boat,, as much money as I am hemorrhaging, youd think I had lots.. lol,, All this, and still trying to work in some camping on the weekends,, and told Nana last nite, I want to go for a week as soon as possible.. I may wind up going without her.. LOL..
Today is my son Shawn's birthday,, 37 today,, will have to call him in a few minutes to sing Happy Birthday to him.. Hope I dont have to pay the royalties for singing the song to the copywright owners,, LOL..
Nana and I got our hearing tested yesterday.. Nana lost more, well, I did too.. but I have tinnitus, (ringing).. Nana has had hearing aids for years,,, Insurance pays pretty good on them.. but BOSE (the speaker people) have delved into hearing aids, and came up with one that is closest to a real hearing as human can get (til the next generation of hearing aids, lol).. $5900.. and insurance pays 2400..so through some jockeying of billing, we will owe 1150, I get Nana's hearing aids (her old ones, will help hearing but not mask the tinnitus) and they will bill the insurance another 2400 for hearing aids we already have,, so we wind up paying $1150 for her BOSE hearing aids.. she really liked the way she could hear with them.. I tried Nana's on yesterday for a moment,, ehhh,, not that big a deal with me.. dont like listening to her bitch anyways,, lol so may or may not wear them.. lol,, the ringing in my ears comes and goes,, usually when Im being tested it isnt there (like right at this moment) but yesterday, during the testing, it was there,, not quite as loud, but there.. a high frequency sound.. hard to describe. but some of you might know what I mean..
Started Cardiac Rehab last week again.. I had started in December, but the next day wound up back in the hospital with fluid in lungs,, then after that the bleeding, then the gall bladder,, then waiting til the gall bladder surgeon released me,, so FINALLY got to go last Wednesday.. then went drinking afterwards (about 18-20 beers) and even though the beer had nothing to do with it, (I dont do hangovers) I didnt make it to Rehab Thursday, because of not feeling good.. sometimes, after I take my morning meds, it upsets my stomach, and Im just miserable as hell for several hours. even if I dont eat, which I usually have something..
But went again yesterday, and wore lounge pants and t-shirt/sweatshirt.. and they weighed me at 12 lbs or so less than last week,, I told them I left my wallet in the truck,, lol,, but got on the scales this morning, and I dropped a couple more lbs from yesterday's weight here at home, wearing the same outfit.. so its coming off slowly but surely,, hopefully I keep it off,, no,, I WILL keep it off, because I wont ever let myself get back up there again.. Wish I was that firm about quitting smoking.. but, one thing at a time.. really have to get mindset for quitting, and I aint got it right now.. too much stress around here for several months now.. and no end in sight..
Just dont want to lose so much weight, I look sickly.. people will think its cancer or something.. instead of just exercise and diet.. Im just doing, what works for me, to lose weight,,, a modified Atkins diet where I try to keep my carbs under 50 per day.. if I go over, its not a big deal, and I do pretty much eat what I want, even if it does take me over 50.. My sugar is staying in the normal range, my Blood Pressure is good,, and the only thing else theyre concerned with right now, is Im a bit anemic (since the bleeding and transfusions) and Im taking Iron pills twice daily for that.. I feel good, just low on strength, and energy, but that is coming back a little at a time.. as I said before, here, the Cardiologist said, with everything I went through, its going to take 8 months or so before I realize the benefits of the heart surgery,, and he is ever going to be pissed about the smoking,, LOL
well, thats enough for today,, Lowes just called and will be here in an hour to deliver the flooring and trim.. One guy,, hate like hell he has to do it all by himself, but I still cant lift over 10 lbs (dr's orders)... sure is hard when I used to lift 200# and more.. Once caught a 400# welder falling off the truck, and sat it on the ground,, more like slammed it, but controlled slam, lol.. Boss came running over to make sure I was alright.. he knew what it weighed, I didnt,, but he sure would have been pissed had it hit the ground the way it was headed.. but I havent lifted anything like that in years,, and lost strength over the years,, if I could lift 100# now, Id be surprised,, but then, I dont have to anymore, so not a big deal.. lol,, hey,, wasnt I ending this?? cant seem to shut up my fingers.. LMAO..
Happy Farming
