Able to make the pitcher of the lemon drink this am.
And pick up Rosie's two deposites from when I wasn't able to pick them up.
Got the plastic off of the paper plates and bowls.
WAshed water dishes out for dog and cat.....built up of hard water on them as it is rare I am doing well enough to scrub them out.
Hoping to do a better job of that. Hard ater is bad here.
Able to finally get that dead plant pot from the ahallway door to the patio with all the other dead plant pots.
Able to clean out the cat litter box adn take the bags of litter to the dumpster.
So I guess you could say I have been on poop patrol this am.
7:17 am now. Caregiver is coming at 8 if she is on time.
I am resting. Not sure if I will have her help set up the tent this am or not.
Next step is to clean teh dishes in the kitchen.
I would need to pack the food in the ice chest and put ice in both ice chests.
Adn get things in car. Brain can't recall what else needed to be done. Heat and weekend crowd are two concerns at the campground.
And of course health being well enough to go.
Havne' gotten dressed ye tthis am either.
Haven't taken excedrin yet which usaully helps me be able to do afew things
AS I lay here..I am thining health is not doing well enough tovie the campign thing a try yet.
CAt just jumped on the bed and walked over to the edge of bed and jumped down to her feed dish.
So far, I have only found one place in the apartment to put her feed dish that Rosie can't get too..it is in the corner near my bed.
The cat is heavier on her feet than Rosie is when she jumps on the bed and she is so much less weight.
She also is a health indicator for me...can't explain it but nerves or soemthing are on high alert when heatlh is lower and she jumps on bed and walks across it....I dont' like her then..I know it is not the cat..she is a good cat.
it is my ehath.
When heatl is doing better I aam fine with her being on the bed.

Gave Rosie and Myself a shower and then took her around the blk...i now have more poop to pick up when able.
done in...resting now
gave caregiver my card for the mail me the prescription with human...i don't know how many tries to get this job done...
caregiver came to me wanting to know my address while she was on phone with humana
i then got on the phone yelling
they then wanted me to repeat my humana number taht the caregiver had just gave to them..they said i needed to say it..i told the person with humana that i was having the caregiver read it because i couldn't read it..i was laying in bed while she read it
...the person on the line wanted her to tell me the number and then have me repeat it to her.
i am sorry but i threw the caregivers phone at that time..thankfully it landed on my bed
i also hung up before i threw the phone..not as satisfying to just click on the end button
i rarey throw the phone even before i got lyme...

i had also told the person taht it is rare i am able to talk on the phone so we need to get to the bottom line as to why the prescriptions are not being filled.
And that i have been trying far too many times to get this taken care of.
And taht i would not be able to be on the phone long so could we just get to the bottoom line
people say to ahve someone call for you..that turns into a more frustrating thing and usually doesnt' get the job done either.
I dont' know how many times i have given the caregiver my address for calls and she has written the address down along with my info..but she continues to ask me...the the person ont he line wants me to say it is ok for her to handle the calll.but first they want me to give them my address and phone number and card number and all those things i usually can't do.
ok rant over...calming down now
i think about the next step later

I was going to tell u guys about my banana dream last week. I have this problem of all the bananas getting ripe at once. Last week i kept seeing them on the table getting riper and riper and i just didnt seem able to eat them
Then one night i had this crazy lifelike dream of walking to the kitchen and seeing a whole bowl of black bananas and i went nuts swearing and throwing things and having this big hissy fit over the bananas and it was all in a dream
Wierd. I think it must have been cuz of all my frustrations about other stuff
So far today i picked up house a lot, took skin off a bunch of tamatoes cuz i have way too many. Im going to make sauce later. Also my friend came by and changed the filter in my air cleaner and i think i have done 2-3 loads laundry
The roof guy put the window in and it looks really nice. Hes coming back later to finish the original job i hired him for: the sheetrock
In a few minutes im taking the step ups to the mechanic to see if he can put them on. I bought them online...and they cost half what he quoted me...but i know sometimes they dont like to put on anything except what they buy
I also have to talk to him about some noises and smells...i hope its just cuz im used to a new. Truck not a ten yo one
Kam...you have been busy! For two years my doc refused to send my prescriptions to the pharmacy. Now hesays he will. Im curious to see if it works. It would be easier that way

Able to walk into ma and pa health food store and drive thru bank to get quarters for laundry.
And roll on down the hallway and put more quarters in dryer....I think the problem is the caregiver over loads the dryer...
we'll see if two turns in the dryer gets the towels dried and sheets this time.
Bill for ma and pa health food store was around $20 this time. Again, I am confused as this time I was expecting it to be much more.
Eye sight was not good so I will check on line to see what it was.
He said they would be there until the end of Oct...but the shelves are ..well..i am guessing they will be closing the doors the end of the month as far as having anything to sell.
Now I have quarters for the shower at the campground too if needed...

Kayak..hope all is well with the truck.
Got the linens out of the dryer...not able to see if the stains are still in the linens or not..I have told her in the past not to put them in the dryer if they have stains but looks like i need to tell her every time
also able to type out a note and leave in the lobby...i had ordered dawn refill large bottle along with some other things from walmart on line
i got all the other things but my walmart record shows the dawn was delivered today and it wasn't.
2nd time this has happened.
there was a box outside my door from walmart but it wasn't the dawn it was another item...so left a note asking if the fed ex guy got confused and left it at another person's door.
I know i saw him with a lot of boxes
Ok that is most likely it for today....I lasted longer than baseline with being able to do things this am..it is 12:35 pm.
I usually have to veg by 9 am.
Hoping to stop by the pharmacy after they get back from lunch which i think is around 1:30 pm to see if they have the syringes for the b shots.
The thing with the on line pharmacy is it is getting to difficult for me to get to the pharmacy to get meds and to re order them..
so i have been trying to do the on line pharmacy but the humana right source pharmacy keeps sayign taht the doc has not provided the prescriptiosn adn the doc keeps saying they have sent the presciptions in...
i know they got at least one presciption because i did get it last month

What's the matter with doctors not complying with the mail order pharmacy? It shouldn't be any harder for them than the regular pharmacy?
I know our DR's office gets signals crossed with our mail order pharm, but they eventually get it done. It usually goes pretty smoothly. It's even easier if they will give me a hard copy to send it, but I don't usually have to do that.
kam.. maybe "ma and pa" are helping you out a bit? They need to get rid of their merchandise, so....?
kayak .. Will the house be finished by the end of next week? That would be so cool!
I ran many errands today and my neck and shoulders are killing me. My feet aren't much better, but I'll survive. Our church is having a big 25th anniversary celebration tomorrow and we're doing a fundraiser for the backpack program here.
It provides food for schoolkids on the weekends. Some can't afford food over the weekend .. and I think some parents are so neglectful they don't cook or take care of the kids.
Should be a fun time. We're having a pig roast and lots of awesome entertainment! All for the cost of a donation.

Went to energy healer, which relaxed me, although I am sweating out toxins.
I actually turned the heat on in my house tonight. Earliest I have ever done that as it is still technically summer. Brr.
I am adding a blanket to my bed tonight, too.
Our church is having an Italian Dinner and silent auction tomorrow night to raise money for the missionaries we have in Chile and some other programs.
We are a very small poor parish. I am not even sure how we pay the pastor.
Kam--sounds like you were very busy today. You, too, LP.
I always have trouble with my neurologist getting my seizure med prescription. I find it works better when I call the mail order pharmacy and they call his office. I have to start over a month in advance of when I need the new prescription and it is a real pain.
At least I get three months at a time and one refill, so I only have to do this 2x a year.

My problem is the mail order pharmacy says they haven't rec'd the prescription from the doctor's office.
And the doctor's office says they have sent the prescription in several times.
The doctor's office has always been good at geting the prescription to the local pharmacy so I assume it is the Human Right Source that is the problem
It will be nice once this thing gets going.
Making the telephone calls are so difficult for me. I need to find a way to communicate.
I did sign up for the relay service on the computer. But, most of the time the brain is not working well enough to do that either.

Hiker..sometimes the church is helped out by the bigger church if they are under the umbrella of a bigger organization.
I know the church I was going to at the beach was doing very well. They were also able to keep other churches running that were not doing as well through out the US and in other countries.

When the pastors parents or his wife's parents needed help they ended up moving to one of those churches that was not doing as well and pastoring it so they could be closer to their parents and help them.

8:45 am able to get some groceries. Went to walmart as safeway was out of a lot of the gr giant frozen vegies i like.
Safeway had a sale for them 2 for $5.
Walmart sells them for $1.00 each. So no more safeway to purchase gr giant frozen veggies.
At first Safeway was the only place in town to get the frozen green giant vegies.
Glad brain was doing well enough to notice that.
used elec cart and put on peltor ear protection muffs and got help with putting groceries in the car.
Put frozen stuff away and then drove Rosie to the dog park. I wanted to see how she got along with a new dog in the hood.
They said hello to each other and then went on with their business. The new dog was more interested in me than Rosie and he is high enough I could kind of pet him for a short time.
Beautiful dog. The owner is one of the first people I met when i moved here. I am hoping they can join me when i go out to the forest area.
Both of us can't move much now a days so we can just hang out while the dogs have some off leash time.
The owner of the new dog doesn't know how his dog will do off leash yet. Not sure how to test that out.....
He stays with his owner while at the dog park...they walk the perimeter of the fence..so assuming he will stay with his owner at the forest too.
Rosie always keeps me in site too unless she sees a squirrel or rabbit...but she just runs for a short time and then comes back..she is not out of my eyesight for very long at all.
Regrouping now then not sure what...maybe put the sheets in the washer to soak and/or clean up in the kitchen.

tutu...good to hear about a local church giving back to the community.
and yes...i noticed the cash register receipt at the ma and pa health food store is no longer listing the items and what they cost...just the total.
i had forgotten to check my bank acct on line to see if it was $20 until you mentioned it again..so i checked and yet it was $20.
Hiker...at the old apartment complex i lived at a neighbor was being supported by a church.
His dad use to be a pastor and died. The son was now taking care of his mom who had Alzheimers.
The church was providing for the family.

Our little church does a lot for the community.
We make meals and serve at several "kitchens," buy Christmas presents for kids for the Angel Tree Program, visit and hold services at a nursing home etc.
I am amazed at the generosity of our small congregation.
Tutu--you would be impressed with our 10-15 person sized choir (half the attendees).
We do need to attract some more children. I am surprised we don't have very many as we run a preschool during the week at the church.
The advantage of such a small church is the pastor really knows the people. He was praying at prayer night the other night and could name every single person (about 20) that was on the prayer list. He also sends out cards to people for encouragement or for birthdays.
Did my grocery shopping this morning--hit 3 different stores to find what I wanted. Am cooking a bit to freeze some meals for the week.
Hope to get out and walk today or tomorrow.

Oh my goodness tutu no i dont think it will be done soon...but im getting there. At least i have permanent walls, windows and roof now
Monday he comes to finsh sheet rock in exercise room...then that room needs two coats paint, subfloor, floor, and baseboard /trim
Office still neefs baseboard trim
Then to my bedroom that needs a floor and to figure out closet...for two years using eve rt y pridyct i could find and ozon. I cannot get rid of cat urine smell. There was an old lady here with cats andvthey used the closet for litter box i guess
So i am having the guy take down all od the sheetrock and replace it and see if that helps. However....
When he takes down the sheet rt ock he will see the framing in exactly the opposite place in the roof that was leaking. We expect it to be leaking like the otherside cuz it just makes sense...so we shall see
When all of that is doone i plan to go to the bank that has my mortgage and get a loan to get one of those walk in jetted tubs. My brother got one for his wife with ra and they got a doctor note for it and could write it off. On. Taxes
Man...if i had that and could get my sayna working i would be in detox heaven
It will happen. I know it will

Able to put the sheets in to wash. Put them back in to wash again. wanted to put them in the top loading washing machine so they could soak but someone was using that.
It has been done for some time...pillows etc left in the washer...but even if the person got the pillows, etc out of the washer I wouldn't want to use it.
It left lots of dirt on the drum...
I have bartonella....I guess on my back..so get blood stains on my sheets and clothes that dont' come out.
WAshed a nightgown in cold water along with the sheets and the blood stain came right now...thankfully
but had other pj's that I had soaked in water when I was the blood stain and that didnt' come out even after several washings and scrubbing with stain removers.
I really miss not ahving the health to get things in the wash right away...I don't think I would have this problem
Also able to put the dishes away that the caregiver washed. Need to rewash a few of the items..they stilll have food on them.
Able to fill the sink with the dirty dishes and hot, sudsy water...hoping to wash those dishes soon.
Regrouping after the laundry run.

OK washed those dishes and scrubbed the pot the caregiver uses to hard boil the eggs out with SOS pad.
I also used the SOS pad on the wall behind the stove...I have been trying to get splatters off of that wall for a while now with different cleaners.
Once I am doing better..I'll take a look and see how I did with the pot and the wall. Kind of out of it right now more than baseline.

Hiker.. I can imagine your choir because ours is very small too. You would put us to shame. We average 8-12 people.. depends upon our "seasonal" members who belong to two churches.
Everyone says we sound much larger, though. So it's all good.
Our celebration was so awesome. We raised a lot of money even though not many came besides members and all of the people who performed. We had the Country Gospel Music Association there and they sang for hours. (probably 10 singers)
Then two local entertainers who have shows here full time, sang. They were INCREDIBLE. My favorite singer wrote a song for our congregation, as he is best friends with our pastor. It is an AWESOME song.
It was "freezing" out there until about 2pm when it finally warmed up and the wind died down. Gorgeous weather!
I had to stay inside for part of the time to monitor the puppet show someone put on for the kids. It was cute. At least I stayed warm!
As for churches who have outreach, if they don't have outreach, they aren't much use, are they?

Talking about exercising in dreams...... my hubby says the last while in his dreams he's having to walk so far to get where ever he's going, and he's SOOOO TIRED!
I've been reading, but not taking time to post much - I've been busy canning & freezing... very thankful for the full freezers and jars. We'll have plenty to eat this winter.

Hi manna!
The party was a huge success. The lady was eithet 87 or 88..no one could figure it out. Big surprise for her. Great finger food and mostly protein...all of it good for me, yea! Then i had cake. Reall. Good cake...i cant remember the last time i had cake
I brought a doggie bag back and shred with etta...she likes shrimp! And i met a wan who lives near me and has a nine lb shih tzu named sophie. She said they would come to visit! And i have a fenced yard so i think it will be really great
Right now the back yard looks like a hayfield but maybe knowing they will come will motivte me to mow it
Hope i can get up while its still too cold for bees to fly to plant the second butterfly bush. I think there is a yellow jacket nest close to the spot i want to put it
Better get to bed i guess if im gonna get up early

kayak...i hate i when that happens.
i woke up from a dream where i had a very dissatisfied (sp?) job that made big bucks.
along with a group of people we went from place to place tasting oysters and shots of kind of alcoholic beverage...it was the shots we were to evaluate.
I keep thinking..I have got to find a better source of income. This is rediculus (sp?)
Those with me thought it was great..they got paid to pour poison in their bodies and get drunk. Not my kind of crowd at all or employment. Posts: 15927 | From Became too sick to work or do household chores in 2001. | Registered: Dec 2002

I checked the weather report. Depending on which site you look at...cooler now with monsoons predicted....monsoons usually only last about 10 or 15 min around here.
So weather wise it looks good for camping.

Thats a funny dream kam...they can get wierd, huh
I ended up leaving my bed for the recliiner and ended up in the daybed...but slep well
Alot of pain again and i realize it is mostly the knee i had surgery on a year ago yesterday...the doc had told me it could take a yearto get better...its been a year and its worse
He wants to do the othe knee and then my hips but at this point its a pass for me
Unless i cant get away from the pain im ready to just slow down activity and spend more time in wheel chair rather than go thru the surgeries again
Yes tutu...since i have lived here my closest friends are a group that live close to each other(but i ended up moving away)
The one that keeps us together is the one that does all the construction on my house...always there for me. She is 55 and i am 65 and the two other longest in the group are single women 79 and 87. Then there is a woman around 70 who has been battling cancer for years who outlived two husbands and just gotmarried to a third last june!
We are quite a bunch...theres at least two other couples who live close...everyone helps eack other and i would say dogs and cats are the common denominator
Many of us met over pets
So it was a good time...i got to know a woman better who used to have an irish setter and now has a shih tzu who is too pudgy so im.hoping we can get them together-the dogs-to run off some lbs while we visit
My house isnt finished yet but i can see mysef making more timefor social stuff...its really important and good for me
Slow todsy...must start by picking up messy house...but it is beautiful out and i hipe i get to di something outside eventually

I mowed the lawn myself for the first time this year. I am so out of shape and could barely do it. I will be sore tomorrow.
I had to get the neighbor to start the mower and once it was started I could not take a break for the 90 minutes it takes to mow, because he left and there was no one to restart the mower.
Now I am going out to rake--the lawn was really high.
Not sure what happened to my teen who mows. He never replied to my e-mail and it just needed to get done.
Beautiful outside today, though, so I should not complain. And I should be glad I am well enough to mow.

Hiker i went a couple years relying on someone to start the mower and when i moved here i broke down and bought one of the plug in ones. Im glad i did but you have to figure out how to not run over the cord and it sometimes pulls your arms a little...but better for me
And i also let the house go after doing dishes and laundry and got a good chunk of lawn down. It was like a hayfield in the back
I wanted to put poly on the office baseboard but didnt get to it
Im beat but will need to pick up a little more and shower cuz sheet rock guy is coming at ten...i need to be sure i have paint ready for himcuz he said he would paint and do floor and when hes ready i want to be ready
Im still wheezing and having breathing and fatigue problems...i hope i get blood test results tomorrow. The inhaler is on its way but hasnt gotten.here yet

LP--I would have to have a very long cord for the type of mower you have. I have 1/3 acre to mow.
I think next spring I will buy a gas mower that has an electric start, so I don't need to pull the cord.
Still, pushing the mower undid a lot of the progress I made with my elbow and shoulder this spring and summer.
I may need to find someone else to mow the rest of the season, because I think my teenage boy is now too busy with school and another job.
LP-perhaps you should not mow until you get your inhaler.
Kam--I heard on the news heavy rains expected in the Southwest due to the hurricane that is approaching Baja, California.
Arizona was in the heavy rain area--be careful if you go camping.
Anyone hear from AK?
