After spending some time on the net this morning...

I did sleep in a bit… that is more than yesterday, this time a whole two hours later; till five thirty-two A.M.
Any-who, while continuing to do my morning rituals and pretty late for my dear ole chum, who is also an early riser I received her phone call around nine twenty A.M.; and that was after the other call from my doctor’s office, but I will get back to the other call later, okay?
My mouse just stopped working now and so I have no idea how I am going to save this… well I am back online and after Hubby did for me something above and beyond our marriage vows, that is he actually copied for me all that I had written up until we had to shut down and reboot this finicky techno marvel!
And guess what?
This thing saved my words too!
Do I have egg on face; hush you all!
Oh bless my soul and Hubby’s too; I am a southerner!
Although, when disgusted with a situation that a person caused a southern gal usually uses it instead of vulgarity that is really what she is thinking, hmm?
Yep, I learned that early on… now a southern gal for nearly twenty-six years, but you can try to take the northeasterner out of yourself but it sure does reappear when you least expect it, more on this later…hmm?

Oh, where was I?
That’s right; my ole chum had called with an update on her dear sweet Mom Clara.
The hospital felt that she should leave them and go home and build up her strength there, since that was their criteria to perform any necessary surgeries.
After two weeks of tests in house that is what they told my friend, and all those additional expenses of a hotel and parking near NYC, that’s right, eighty miles from her home in northwest NJ!
I sure hope this last effort works in all their favors…Our prayers and hopes and dreams are always there for both of them!

Now that little blurb about my doctor’s office calling back that is my eye doctor’s.
Yes, my eyes are causing me grief again with bloodshot beauties…that are not beautiful at all.
I have been on another dosing of the anti-biotic ointment and it didn’t seem to do anything after the seven days again!
And so I called there yesterday to see if perhaps after so many times of use perhaps I was becoming immune to it, sounded logical to me.
I racked my itty bitty brain thinking that it could be allergy related and no, we have tiled floors, I wash our bedding in hot water every week, and our Skipper is hypo allergic, since he needs to have haircuts by groomers and does not shed and we have had him for all of his eight years.
They said this morning that the doctor wants me to come in to figure it out, so no new prescription of an anti-biotic over the phone…oh well, I tried.
I hate having too many doctors’ appointments and I seemed to have gone a few weeks without any, hmm?
I think I broke my own record until now!

Any way to cheer myself up I decided to try an old idea that I hadn’t visited in Gosh several months… a haircut for myself.
All us gals know that getting pampered is what makes us feel pretty, well not pretty anymore in my case, but I guess we could say not mirror breaking?
Since I have cervical stenosis, means the bones in my neck are narrowing I cannot have them wash my hair in their sinks and so it was suggested coming with my wet hair, and so I did.
Recently, due to the Hypothyroidism and being inside more than out my skin has dried out so much it looks about the same as a dry river bed. About a week ago I decided that my regular moisturizer was not doing the job and that I would try good ole Vaseline, why not?
I had some in the cabinet from when I had my pre-cancerous skin lesion on my shoulder removed by laser and the dermatologist recommended it for after for healing that stuff lasts forever.
And so I started using it on my face and hands and feet when I would put socks on them at night and my hands and face before going in the shower to help it work.
But crazy gal me thought Gee these feet could use it too and so, yep you got that right…IDIOT!
I put that slippery sucker gel on my face hands and this time those lovely little shoe huggers!
And I nearly broke my neck!
Don’t try this at home or anywhere!
Fortunately, or miraculously I suppose my reflexes are not as bad as many would think and I made it to my bath chair and even brought my hose shower faucet down for me to quickly hose with warm water and soap that stuff off my tootsies! It was quite a chore too since I also had it on my hands…DUMB!
But all portions of my anatomy did feel softer than before to be fair and it did work rather well!

Oh that last part I called ahead for my appointment but the shop had a sign that if they were very busy it is not an actual appointment and to please be patient with us.
Well, you know me, but I was a good girl, they have sharp objects and finally made up my mind to do this!

On that wacko snippet of my blip in my time, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
