• Mid Week and Some Changes

  Gosh, it's already Wednesday!  Time seems to be going by so quickly.  Which, I guess, is a good thing.  Better than one day dragging into the next!

  ===========================

  Yesterday evening, we had someone from church stop by to try to fix the faucets in our bathroom.  The problem all started with my sink and the cold water faucet handle breaking off.  We bought two new sets (for Jesse's sink and mine) and someone came to install them.  Unfortunately, he took Jesse's apart first and then determined the problem was more difficult than he had anticipated.  So, for the past month we've had my broken cold water side and just a hot faucet attached and nothing at all working on Jesse's sink.  Last night, the friend from church got Jesse's sink hooked back up and now we will wait for a "real plumber" to come and change out the faucets.  Apparently, the faucet connections are soldered to the water supply pipes.  Not as easy of a job as unscrewing connections.  It will require blow torching the connection apart . . . and I'd kind of like to keep my bedroom as it is, without it being burned to the ground!  LOL

  Having all of these people stopping by our house for the past week, reminds me of a funny story.  Jesse told me that one of the neighbors stopped him outside yesterday and asked if everything was okay with me.  Apparently, when cars started appearing at our house, he had become concerned.   

  *  Friday Santos and his family came, Marie was here, someone from the church came with dinner, and many different cars bringing dinner had come all week. 
  *  Saturday Stephanie came, then Jesse left and brought back JoAnn from the airport.  Marie came by.  Then, Santos and ALL of his family arrived. 
  *  Sunday, Stephanie came to get Annamarie and she stayed to do laundry.  Then Jesse's Aunt Marry and Uncle Bill came . . .  

  Mind you, these were vehicles with Oklahoma, Texas, and Florida tags!  I guess the neighbors thought I had died!!!  The thought made me laugh, anyway!  At least last night, the neighbors could assume it was friend and not foe!

                            

  NOTICE TO EVERYONE WHO READS MY BLOG: 
  I had to change my Xanga status.  I was having a problem and became upset because of things some had "done", "said", "etc." and decided to make my blog private - for Xanga users only.  If the problem/s continue, I will have to lock it to "Friends Only."  I hate to make *any* changes, at all, but for my mental health - it has become necessary.  *Some* have to spoil it for *ALL*, I guess!

                           

  JoAnn is taking Rissy back to the neurologist this afternoon.  I don't know what he'll do because we STILL HAVEN'T gotten Rissy set up with an orthopedic doctor.  Late, yesterday afternoon, the referring doctor's nurse called back (the one that said she'd call me right back at 8:30am!!!) to say she was working on getting us an appointment.

                            

  Tomorrow is the new chemo drug.  I have to prepare my list of things to tell the doctor.  Not so much questions this time as I need to tell her the effects the last treatment had on me.  I wouldn't have mentioned those things, except JoAnn said it might help a patient in the future.  Good thinking, JoAnn!

  I took a nap yesterday afternoon.   Another funny story.  I have a documentary DVD on the Amish.  I've tried to watch it a couple of times and each time have fallen asleep.  It happened again yesterday.  I don't know if it is the gentle voice of the Amish gentleman narrating the story or if I only lie down to watch it when I'm tired.  At any rate, I kept nodding off and awaking to watch a part (and thinking, "I remember seeing this before") and then zonking out again!  I told Jesse something was wrong with the DVD and it must have some subliminal message under the narrator's voice!  He told me to try watching it the next time insomnia plagues me!

  ==============================

  I made Belgian Waffles and bacon for breakfast today.  Never got around to making the pasta salad yesterday or the evening before.  JoAnn had the ground meat out to make a Mexican dinner of beef enchiladas, tacos, and bean & rice.  Instead, it was "sale night" at Popeye's chicken and that's what we ended up eating - JoAnn's treat.

                                       
                                                                    (Heeeeere I am!)

  Today's To Do List:
  *  Wash our sheets and give Jesse new pillows
  *  Balance the check book
  *  Finish getting Stephanie's b-day gifts in gift sacks
  *  Compile questions or info for the onologist, tomorrow

  Be Blessed  ~
