Another day...

69 for a hight yesterday and 39 is the high predicted for today. Thunderstorms rumbled through last night which means the back yard is a mess and whenever Baxter has to go outside I will have to put him on his leash and take him out front. I don't mind just tired of the winter temperatures, I am so ready for Spring warmth.

Started Laundry early this morning and fell up the stairs, so this tells you how my morning so far is going..LOL

I am sitting with a patient at the hospital tonight so hopefully by then my day will be going alot better :-)

The pic above is of Baxter after he got in trouble this morning. Apparently he decided to pull all of the covers off the bed and make a bed for himself at the foot of it. Wasn't so bad but he decided everything on the dresser should be there also...I was in the basement folding clothes when all of this was going on. When I cam up stairs and went to the room to put the clothes away I found a mess on the floor and he was laying up on the pillows in the bed. I swear he had a smug look on his face that said...See what happens when you leave me alone !!!

I hope everyone has a Wonderful Weekend.

Irritating....

Grrrrr.. This really irritates me. Phone solicitation has really been taken to a higher level of annoyance.. Now they call and a recording asks you to hold for a representative of ______... What is up with this? I actually wonder just how many people hold on until the live person gets there. I did this the other day and was on hold for 10 minutes and it was an announcement from some public official with a survey.

I called Charter last week over a cable problem and the woman put me on hold for about 30 minutes...Guess I called during her lunch time. What really got me was after holding that 30 minutes when she came back on she told me she would have to transfer me to a technician, which by the way took up another 15 minutes on hold.

Baxter and I went to the market this morning. When I came out of the store a man was standing by the car and Baxter was snarling and baring his teeth at the man. I had to ask the man to step away from the car because Baxter was all over the window on that side while he stood there and I couldn't get into the car afraid Baxter would charge out. The guy said I have a pretty mean looking Pit Bull there. How anyone could think a Boxer looks like a Pit Bull is beyond me.

Whew....

Well the gum balls are raked up into many piles scattered all over the yard. I will wait for Tony to come home so we can fill the yard refuse can with them. I figure there is no sense in me having all the fun. LOL

I can sure tell I don't do manual labor at work. Old age is not gently creeping up on me, it is slamming into me. I had to rake a pile and take a break and rake a pile and take a break and so on..

I am seriously considering taking a nap and I never take naps. Besides the electric company is back to working on the holes they dug in the yards and they are making quite a racket. No one could sleep through that.

Gum Balls.....

Baxter and I are gearing up for an attack on the gum ball seeds in the front yard this morning...

I am sitting here eating Ruffles potato chips and French Onion Dip for breakfast...Baxter is just eating the chips...no onion dip for him...LOL

Never said I was one for eating a sensible breakfast.....

Up Late...

Or early...which ever way ya wanna look at it....

I was suppose to sit with a patient tonight but they got released from the hospital. So I am back home and sitting here wide awake tonight.

Making me a list of "To Do's" as I have the next several days off. Baxter will love this as he won't have to go into the dreaded cage during the day...LOL Right now he is laying at my feet content that I am home...

I have a yard full of gum balls that need to be raked tomorrow. With 60 degree temperatures predicted tomorrow that will be a good day to get them done.

I am anxious for Spring to arrive.. I am ready to start working in my flower beds.

Sisters

This is the last picture we had taken together of us...As you can see from my face I was told to hold still and act nice for the camera....LOL Older sister still threatening....Nothing has changed....LOL

My Older Sister...

Marsha (age 3 1/2) ---- Me (age 2)

We might have had alot of differences growing up but when push came to shove she would put herself between my Dad and me to stop what was being done to me. I remember the last time my Dad was beating on me and she got right in the middle of it. I moved out with my Cousins not long after that one, then with my Grandmother.

A few years ago when I had my emotional breakdown I moved in with my Mom and Grandmother. They helped me through alot of what I was going through. Marsha also moved back home...

I met Tony on the internet and we dated long distance for several years until I decided to move here to Saint Louis to be with him.

I miss my kids but I love Tony and I love living here... We plan on when he retires to move back home to Arkansas.
