Good afternoon, everyone! I can't watch the football games I want to watch, so I'm watching Undercover Boss reruns. They are always good.
At church today we had a combined service. The Bishop of our area was there to speak. We had a great day... with a luncheon to follow.
I will probably go to hubby's show tonight....might take a nap soon.
Kayak.. I hope your family and friends will all be safe. I have quite a few people I'm "following" .. hoping they will all be safe.
Sixgoofy has a second home that is right on the west coast. It's really sad. It's the home they were going to move to soon.
I think my nephew in Orlando will be OK .. just hope they don't get tornadoes.

I walked this morning for 25 minutes.
Went to a picnic with gal friends this afternoon. The gal hosting has a winter home in Fort Myers and is worried about her friends who did not evacuate and her home. Her hubby will head down on Tuesday to survey the damage if he can.
Lots of rain and wind in Deltona area near Orlando where my long time friend from college lives.
Will say prayers for sixgoofy!
Picnic was fun. There is a group of us women who met at church years ago and twice a year we get together. They remembered that tomorrow is my birthday and all gave me cards. Sweet.
Hard to believe it is 75 and sunny here after seeing pics of the hurricane.
Have a good week.
We will be praying for your surgery, AK, on Tuesday!! Hope your city does not get too much rain and wind.

I heard from my brothers friend about an hour ago in cape coral And they were ok. Had lost the pool screen?!?
Today I had one chore I wanted to get done. It required exercise. There were nine pieces of siding I could return for an out $100. I wanted to wash them first cuz they got dusty. I got all but 2 finished before yellow jackets chased me in
I sold 12. Of asters and cranes bill earlier
And potted 8 big pots of asters and trimmed down the lilies in the back...all was exercise for me. I did most from wc. My legs hurt a lot on shins where knees attach
So tomorrow I ll return the siding first and then have to work hard to get house ready for cleaners. I hope that goes well
And then I really have to do taxes even if I don't do them right. They are due next Friday
A K I do hope your surgery goes well. It doesn't look like the weather will be a problem now
My brother just texted and said he thought the worst was over and the surge was way less cuz storm went inland for awhile. He will check his house tomorrow and tell me how it is
Sounds like you had a nice weekend hiker. Hope rain doesn't mess you up this week and the kids are good
Hope you're having a good time tonight tutu.
I'm ready for bed

I hope my cousin in Naples is OK . . her husband is disabled. They are in their late 70's, I think.
My nephew is about to get hit in Orlando, but I'm not "too" worried.
I have another friend in Ocala.. I think the storm is there now.
We had a big crowd at the show tonight!
My husband got a text from the producer of the other show tonight. The guy told him he was doing a great job of playing lead!
He played the second spot last year, but is really a lead player. I'm so happy he is finally getting credit where credit is due.

Sunday-Got at least 7 gallons of water and put all outside stuff in laundry room and shed. Have candles and flashlights ready to go. Also loaded my .45, .38 already loaded and all my ammo is out just in case.
Supposed to be a tropical storm with high winds and rain. Might have a curfew if severe damage. Expecting a power outage. Hope there's no tornadoes.
Glad to hear everyone's friends and family are safe.

I found out that my friend who drove from Alabama to Orlando was helping her son move to a new place.
He and his wife currently live in San Antonio, where she works for Sea World. Evidently, she was hired by Sea World in Orlando. I'm assuming from what she said about helping him move. His wife is still in SA.
Anyway, they are still stuck in a Hampton Inn and there is a large group of people there from a recovery center and they have been smoking the whole time in a non-smoking facility.
She said it's horrible. They lost power last night .. no windows to open. She has a portable fan. What a mess. I don't think they are finished moving him in due to the um.... HURRICANE!!!

No exercise today. Graded papers and planned lessons after kids left school.
Laughed at kids who were trying to guess my age (today is my birthday). I told them the 2 digits of my age added up to 10. One girl guessed 73 and then said, "No, you would be close to retirement and I don't think you are."
My friend in Deltona has a lot of downed trees and power lines down, but house is ok.
Off to feed my face.

KIDS are so funny! Mine kept asking me every year how old I was. So one year when I was probably about 32, I told them I was 82. A few of them got really big eyes and said, "WOW!!"

Happy birthday hiker. Hope you get a piece of cake too
It really was like a miracle for my family. The storm jogged east one town before my brothers and the 15 ft surge was 1 foot. House is dry. Yard a mess. His friend lost some screening around pool. He even has power. But sketchy cell. His daughter is in Naples. That was hit hard. But house is up on slope and no flooding. I don't think she can leave house tho..roads not passable. Still. Very lucky
I have spent day trying To declutter and get furniture away from walls and windows so cleaners can get rid of dust. Iced been congested and I'm pretty sure this is why
I'm hoping to make progress on taxes while they work tomorrow
My asters are opening! I've been mostly flowerless for awhile. I have 2 monster shrubs that are ready to explode with daisy like blooms soon. I was afraid they had died from almost drought. I have 6 or 7 more daisies to pick. They last as long time in the house.
I guess I better keep plugging along. They are coming at 6.
Tutu I hope you hear from the ones you haven't heard from soon
I texted with a k...she hasn't had power

Monday-Our power came back on after about 8 hours with no electricity. Josh might be in trouble though. They have a power line down and could take longer to restore power so he might stay here.
So glad everyone is OK!
TuTu-Me and Mom live in a bad area with some gang activity hence the weapons. I am not sure I can handle my .45 any more that I bought in AK. Scary times we're living in.
Hiker-Happy birthday! Sending you a giant hug.
I sure hope you did something to make your day special. And kids....what do they know about age?
Kayak-Glad your family is OK! So far I haven't had to come out with guns ablazing....but would to defend me and my Mom. I worry about us but try to be vigilante where our safety is concerned. Wish we could move to a safer neighborhood.
Glad we can lean on each other during the tough times! Love you guys!

AK .. You are very wise to be armed and ready. Hope you never have to use the weapons. My husband has some guns. I know how to shoot, but have never handled a hand gun. I need him to take me to a gun range.
Kayak .. I'm surprised you can tolerate flowers inside. I hope that keeps up!
I'm bummed because my "new housekeeper" decided she couldn't fit me into her schedule. It may be due to my sensitivities. I really did like her. She said she would try to find me someone.

But when I move around its not following me.
I haven't been back in room...very wierd
Also I found my zyrtec and pepcid today. I didn't take it for a week and didn't feel any different. I wonder if I have MCS but not mcad.

Kayak .. but you slept all week.. Maybe those two drugs were helping with background reactions and inflammation from them.
Hope you find the stink .. Etta pooped??
Here's hoping AK is OK!!
I'm off to exercise at 1 and then will work on taxes since kayak is going to be doing the same.

We're OK but people still have power out. Josh's power came on around 10:30 this morning. Limbs every where but didn't have time to pick them up.
Josh is taking me to surgery around 3:00. I just took 2 Zanax that the doc prescribed and will take the pain pills before surgery.
I'm nervous.
Hope and pray this is the last time I have to have this done.

AK--Have been praying for you all day. Keep us posted.
Taxes??
Walked 20 minutes after work.
Frustrated with new grading program at work. Types in grades and it wouldn't save some of them.
Frustrated with lazy children, too.
Need to go have some prayer time.

Right now I'm watching the Harvey fundraiser...I just heard the last song..."if it wasn't for texas' I never heard it before....
Oops...I just told tutu that in a text. I had to stop and charge phone
Anyway my brother texted that he has power but half his town doesn't so he spent the day checkingbon his customers and making a list of who needs what. His wife told me he gets tired and quits about 3 now instead of 6...since the yr on iv and hip replacement
I hope he doesnt overdo
He sure has plenty of work tho
Ok. I need to try to sleep cuz cleaners coming back tomorrow. I'm tired but not really ready for her
My exercise besides cleaning was walking Etta twice...short walks...and setting out the potted asters...they are all starting to bloom!
Hope a k is ok and just too dopey to talk to us

Yes, I usually get an extension on the taxes .. It's not often I go this long.. but I have this mental block about doing them.
I should be finished soon .. I hope. I don't have much more to do unless I've forgotten something.
AK .. Hope you are resting comfortably!
I went to an OCC meeting tonight. I need to get to bed ASAP because we are putting shoe boxes together tomorrow at church. They come flat and we have to fold them.
Nite nite.. I just finished listening to the Texas Fundraiser on FB. It was great.

I'm resting after doing some stuff outside to prepare for pest guy at 3. Yes tutu...I have a pest guy a few times a yr so bees don't nest in house and carpenter ants don't come back
I have never had a problem with the chemicals. They are very strict about chemicals now
I don't know why roundup is still allowed.
Ok. Gotta hurry up and rest. Ha. I'm really tired
Cleaner says she will come tomorrow...but this is messingbup my schedule. I have not started taxes
My brother texted he fixed 3 condos with his helpers this morning. Its 90 down there tho. I keep telling him slow and steady. He turned 60 last week. And our dad died of heart attack
Hope we hear from a k soon with good news

I bet AK is resting. Her surgery was later in the day yesterday.
I walked 21 minutes after work.
Had a good day at work today, although we had early morning meetings, so I will probably be exhausted tomorrow.

Anyone heard from AK?
My exercise today was using pen to write a check for the power washing and sealing of the deck.
This would have been something I did pre-Lyme, but don't really miss the task at all.
Looking forward to lab tomorrow at school and then the weekend.

I'm up early with the remains of Irma. Light rain that we need. No wind
Hope a k slept and feels better when she wakes up
My shoulder that needs replaced is killing me. I'm on top dose of meds and supps cuz I moved heavy stuff this week for cleaner and pest guy but I cried a lot in the night. I hate that cuz it upsets Etta
I've been having pretty severe bathroom problems for 2 weeks also. The n d gave me med for motility....3 pills 3 x a day. 2 weeks ago I took 1 a m and 1 pm and I have been having 5-7 b m s a day...some accidents...continuous red blood...that should not be serious. I have 2 things down there left from delivering last child
But all of it together is a royal pain in the a$$...ha...2 weeks....similar thing happened when chiro gave me something. Both supps mainly had a lot of B vitamins...no senna or fiber other things I think help this problem. I cut my mag to 1 a day and kept 1 C cuz I really need them for other things
So the only thing I've done for taxes is put the box of stuff on the desk. I want so much to go out in rain and play in garden...but I'm really going to try to stay focussed and get this done. The refund should pay down half my credit card bills from fixing house
Hope everyone has a good day
Oh...last night I read about sewage problems after both Harvey and Irma. It sounds awful. People Will be dealing with that on top of toxic soup...more than mold will be problem
My brother is out In It. He was exhausted last night...but his wife and daughter came back. I think he misses her cooking!

Yes. If like to have my messes all gone so my energy could go to walking Etta...and riding?!?...and kayaking?!? Hmmmm now you have me dreaming
If also like time to see if I can figure out some better food combos that won't kill me
Tutu both of the supplements are to increase gi motility. That prevents diverticulitis for me. Its when I'm backed up that I have a diver attack
And my body is doing what its supposed to do when I take it...it's just doing too much. That's the way I am. I really have to use very small doses
One of the meds killsparasites and Lyme and other stuff too. I don't feel like I'm herxing tho. And sx are calming down
I count get to sleep last night cuz I drank so much coffee trying to focus on taxes yesterday. Its going very slowly.
I didn't fall asleep and at 224 our elec went out for 2 hrs. There was a huge boon first. House shook. At 5 I took zyrtec pepcid and benadryl because with machines off I started to have my mold cough pretty bad. It was raining and hot and humid. I slept for 3 hrs
Then got up to organize plants and put sign up. I have ad on Craigslist but no One has shown up
Etta wants to play with the chipmunks that keep running by getting ready for winter. I think they move from junk yard cars to back under my house this time of year. She's wagging her tail like crazy and whining...I don't think it would be good if they were nose to nose tho. I think she thinks it is a tiny cat
Oh my goodness...gotta get back to taxes
I have been spending time getting yard cleaned up so if we get storm I should be ok
Have a restful day !

I have been walking a mile every day. some days I do ok, others ahhh not so good. but at least I'm upright and moving.
I get worn out by 8 pm and crash. I have to be up at about 7 to walk cause I can't walk if it's 80 degrees or higher.
I'm also oil pulling every day. whitens my teeth but I'm not sure it's doing anything.
I thought this would give me some energy but it hasn't. I stay tired.

randibear--glad you are able to walk. I don't like the heat, either.
Walked 20 minutes this morning.
Dragged hoses out to water plants. Still so dry here.
Washed the car with the wand at the car wash. I wanted to go through the automatic, but it didn't like my money--machine kept spitting the bills back.
Cooked up some pork and chicken and made another loaf of zucchini bread.
Just went into work to check petri dishes. Bacteria are growing along with some mold. Will go in tomorrow and shut incubator off.
