  • A Cold Start

    We had a bit of a cold start to our day - 45 degrees.  Right  now, my ankles are cold!  I could put on some socks, but I've chosen to enjoy the moment of "fall chill" because it will warm up into the 70's later today!

    Annamarie's appointment was canceled yesterday afternoon, and we'll see if Luci's is canceled today.  Julie, the therapist, was ill.  I was happy not to have to go anywhere yesterday.  I woke up at 4am and felt dazed and confused all day!

    I woke up (AGAIN!!!) this morning at 4am.  I guess, for whatever reason, my body has decided this is the new time for me to awaken, and the solution to my sluggishness will be to go to bed around 8:30 each night.  I guess when the time changes and we "fall back" I'll be up at 3am!  Yikes!  That doesn't sound pleasant!

    I'm getting ready to take Luci to daycare and pick up a prescription for her and a dental prescription for me.  Who knows what they'll give me this time????   It's not like anything they've prescribed has helped me!  I asked the dentist's receptionist if she thought he'd want to try again to tranquilize me or if he'd given up and wanted me to come in sober and talk just as much as I do on tranquilizers!  I DID tell her that, with the last round of stuff they gave me, I never DID fall asleep - not even when I got home.

    We don't have plans for the weekend.  Never really do.  Since we had some rain on Wednesday, Jesse may have to work on Saturday.  Lawncare needs are starting to slow down and he said he thought he would start taking off on Mondays.  He took off last Monday, we'll see how long his new plan lasts!

    I made Mexican soup last night.  It was a toss up between hamburger/vegetable soup or Mexican soup.  The girls wanted Mexican.  I make it different each and every time.  This time I made more broth than usual, which left more room for sour cream, shredded cheddar, and lots of ground up tortilla chips!

    The plan for tonight is fish sticks, mac & cheese, and green vegetable.  Jesse isn't big on any of those items and added, "Or, we could just have leftovers!" 

    I'll putter around here today until I find out for sure if we will be keeping that afternoon appointment for Luci.

    Got most of the girls' laundry done yesterday, as well as the new blankets I bought for the birdcage and for us in the den.  Our old blankets (fleece) in the den will become Sampson's new bedding!  I may use one or two for the cat, Jesse-boy.  He's just a sack of fur and bones with very little meat and NO muscle tone.

    I'm slowly knocking off items from my to-do list!  Made the dog & cat bedding, new bird cage cover, some fall colors displayed in the house, etc.  At some point I'll have to pay bills today!  Praise the Lord I have the money to pay them! Right?
