Considered loading power chair and taking it to store this am but decided to conserve energy and use store's elec cart.
Got to store and remembered I did not stop at dog park before hand to let Rosie toilet.
Started to pull out but saw an elec cart in parking lot. Got in it and went to gravel area ...that was torture..no power in elec cart and a slight incline...body started hurting.
But, got the job done.
Not sure hwo ong I was in store. Made it quick. Couldnt' stay long..alll went smoothly...until I got to the point I had no patientce and felt like hittng someone...no strenght to do so...knew it was time to go.
No one in particlular...jsut wanted to lash out due to low health.
Able to put groceries away. Resting now then heding out to forest area.
Started to rain as we were going in the store. Ground was wet when we came out. Glad we were outdoors when it wasn't raining.
Saw a person with a heavier duty ponchol that was long on my way home.
Figured maybe that is what I need. The light weight short poncho I have isn't keeping me dry when I am out in the power chair toileting Rosie.
Nose also started to run and I got stuffed up while in stor.e I did notice a lady behind me in her PJ's and a very wrinkled face whose smelled of stale cigarette smoke...smelled her before I actually turned around to see her.
Taht si when nose started to run.
But, nose also starts to run when health is to low.
I did consdier getting some fans as someon suggested to blow the cigareet smoke from my neighbor out the window.
Not sure hwo that would work. Ghey would need to be quiet. The movement of the fan would also bothter me so need to find a way to put up a barrier so I don't see the movement.
I could put one in my bedroom window on the table that the cat uses to watch out the window....it is a cat stand.
As far as the screen door ..not sure what to do abou ***..anotehr fan but need to find something to set the fan on that is the right height..and the strength *** would take to set it up and move it doesn't seem worth it..so problem not really solved yet.
CAn't do fan on patio as things disappear around here that are left on patio...but that would be the best solution I think...i'll deal with it later.

Also able to make the gf pizza dough. I have had the package for a long time.
I thought i needed to get some yeast in order to make it. But, read directions again and learned the yeast was in the bag and I could make the dough and put it in the frig.
Did this last night. HOping to have what it takes to make the pizza next maybe.
Brain struggles with too many steps most of the time so trying to take this step by step.

A wild fire group has been camped out in one of the shady areas that I go to with Rosie.
The land they are on is private. It is an undeveloped forest area but homes are slowly being built.
The land backs up to the National Forest and there are lots of trails thru that area. Wonderful place to hike.
I have been tempted several times to set up my tent in the area...but know it is private land.
I have also wondered if it was possible to set up a tent on the National Forest side of things but have yet to find out..I have never seen anyone camping in the area but I only get 5 min in on the trails.
Do you think they would notice Rosie and I if we kind of snuck in and jointe dthem and set up my tentt while they were there??
Just kiddin. I think Rosie would give us away...especially when we got in the chow line.
IN the past, I have seen one van in the area with the chain saw and clean up crew.
This year is is big....lots of vehicles...and equipment..equipment that chops up the trees and brush on site..that truck is full, emptied some where and then is filled up again.
It is a good thing they are doing as far as fire control or prevention in the area.
It also woul be a very good job for those who like the outdoors and taking care of trails and the forest. Pretty cool.

put clothes rack together put double lazy susan together hung ironboard and iron rack on the back of exercise room door-the iron board hangs right but not the iron
then at 7 i went out as sun went down and watered the plants that were wilting...etta went with me at first but was too hot so went in before i was half done
i didnt see the snake this time
i just had a tomato...im ready for bed again...it was really hard to get the computer on ... i hope that doesnt break it finally let me come here but it wont go to yahoo and i need that to talk to my neighbors
kam-the truck is 2004 chevy silverado, 1500, extended cab with lots of push buttons
i only drove it 5 min as test drive...it was perky getting on highway...not used to an 8...13 miles a gallon doesnt sound so good...but the monthly payment is good...it still isnt on the road...needs work done
hang in ak...if you let yourself feel the hurt when it comes up it goes away sooner...i still look up and talk to kris...and sometimes he comes to me in my dreams

Tutu..drove by where the group was this evening and they are gone now. They were clearing brush.
Lots of stacked fire wood all over the place.
I wanted to help myself so I would have firewood for camping but too labor intensive for me.
I know it would take about a year to dry out also..I assume.
I am sure others will come along and help themselves.

Finally got the litter bags for the cat to the dumpster. I didn't realize how many had accumulated.
I scoop out her business from the litter box and hang the plastic bag over the small wooden fence outside my door until I am able to take it to the trash.
Took Rosie out to toilet. I was still in pj's and robe..still am. Didn't ahve shoes on so went back with shoes on to pick up her deposit.
Next is to plug in large power chair to charge.

AT least I won't have to be concerned about getting something to cover my power chair.
I"d like to bring the big boy power chair so I can travel further while I am there.
There is a camp ground across frm the one I camp at that I might be able to let Rosie be off leash on.
It is a horse camp but the roads are not paved so the big boy power chair would work better and be more comfortable.
It works better on asphalt roads to so I can cruise around the campground site I am at more.

Pizza--sounds better than the leftovers I am having tonight.
Had a pretty good day with my legs yesterday and most of today, but by the end of the teaching day the legs were going out again.
Did get my parasite med in the mail today. Will check with energy healer tomorrow that it is safe to take. Hope so as I would like to take it for at least 2 weeks and get rid of these suckers.
Not doing much exercise these days and my gardens really need weeding.
Supposed to rain all weekend--bummer since it is a 3 day weekend for me. Might be able to get some weeding done in between rainstorms.
LisaK--Vacuum? What's that? You are setting a bad example for me! LOL
I'll check in tomorrow.

Good job, Lisa! We need to vacuum here too. I can't do it though.
Kam.. hope you can go camping!
Another hot day here. Hoping for rain .. it seems to be on its way. I don't have any plans, so it doesn't matter to me.
hiker.. I hope tomorrow is a good day for you and your legs hold up ALL DAY!
We're STILL waiting for the title to our car. Toyota lost it.

Tried to log into right source again..humana on line pharmacy....
but like the times before I wasn't able to
Next time I finally get on I will write down the id and apssword..i thught I had last time but must have been too exhausted brain wise to do so once I got on.
I sent an email to see about meds and wanted to check for answerss.
So, while caregiver was here, I had her call right source...they said they needed the doctor' to fax over the prescription..that explains why I just got the sleeping pills last time..
they , the PA must have just faxed over the sleeping pills and did not fax the other two prescriptions.
Hoping finally got this long over due task done and life will be mroe do able.

The air was nice and cool today. I got started early sorting carport stuff from wc...i made progress but its getting hot now and everything is spread out and my allergies are kicking in bad-ragweed-i took an allergy pill but still bad. I know there is some mold in the stuff from storage and there was dust in shed from when we did the last floor
I think i will probably just clean and sort this weekend...and then gave a sale next weekend...the weather is perfect but im kinda stressed out all ready
My ac is working so my breathing is getting better...hope i get more done after lunch
I didnt see how many times i posted before...hope its only once this time

It was twice, but I got it, kayak. I just found out yesterday how difficult it is to post her from a phone. OMG!! I couldn't even get it to take my password.
So .. 72 degrees is "hot?"
Be careful about the mold. Maybe you can sell all that stuff and be rid of it... and $$$$ to boot!!
kam.. glad you got the phone call made. Now to get the message to the Dr's office.
We are hoping for rain here by tomorrow. Sure need it.

Crazy stuff, huh!? So that is where I'll be tomorrow.

Did the grocery shopping earlier this morning and made a meatloaf.
I am watching the Illini football game. They don't look like a very good team.
It's halftime and I thought I would try to go for a walk, but it started pouring.
So, I guess God is telling me to relax--LOL.
I got my prescription drug for the parasites and started on it yesterday. Had an energy healer yesterday with my Christian healer. She worked a lot on my nervous system as well as trying to kill the parasites.
I have a lot of laundry to do, but keep putting it off. Need to clean the fridge etc. too.

Thanks for that sign, payne! It's a good one!
We got the car taken care of. So now we have 30 days for the title to show up. Kinda nice that we're getting to skip two car payments! Hey, they OWE us!
hiker.. hope you can relax, but also get a few things done that you need to do.
kayak.. those signs work wonders when it comes to garage sales!
We may get some rain today. Had a beautiful double rainbow last night. It was the talk of the town!
