Morning, it's garbage day I suppose I better take the garbage out like a good little boy.

Mmmmmmm food! Thanks Thumper!

I'm glad to hear that Mz!

I slept good surprisingly! I thought for sure I was gonna have nightmares about ghosts!
Today is my last work day of the week. We got approved to have friday off. This weekend is my husband's family reunion where we camp out. So tonight after I get my haircut we have to come home and get things packed up. We will get up in the morning and head over to hubby's hunting property so he can try and kill some Autumn Olives (evil thorny bush thing) and then we'll head over to the park.

Morning all. It was only 67 this morning so I went running. It was great! Glad you worked out today too MZ:)

Sandy hope things were quiet last night.

I meet Emily's teacher tonight. I am excited!


have a great!

Howdy Folks,

Its 57 here this morning, high of 80 with more chances of rain. Supposed to be a high of only 74 and rain tomorrow.

I slept really poorly last night. Just woke up A LOT, looked at the clock and went back to sleep. I'm gonna be tired today.

I found out last night that I have an out of town funeral on Saturday for my great aunt. This would be my only living grandmother's sister. I've never been close to her so this one is more of a "we better go" than "we want to go". I do feel for my grandmother though, its going to be hard on her.

Not much else to report from here. Just have to wait and see what develops today.

oooooooooo hi!

I might have to try the work out in the morning thang, I know I love that snooze button too much.

The river rhythms thing last night was nice. really chill and not overly crowded. The band Brother is really cool too- they mix bagpipes, digereedoos (know thats spelled wrong-sorry Jules) and heavy drumming and it becomes melodic pop music. really cool.

Their music sounds like it would be fun to listen to. We have a band here entirely made up of drummers; they call themselves The Titanic Bananas.  They drum on anything and everything.  They put on a really cool street show!

 

Yeah, that was it.

It had nothing to do with ghosts, I was more afraid of cheap audio/video
equipment.

 

all week at work it has either been NOTHING or RUSH. its starting to grate on my nerves.

Mornin' everyone.

I'm a lil' grumpy today because my car continues to give me problems. I swear this is the second car that I've owned in a row that has eventually had to be traded in for the same problem. Stalling out for no apparent reason and the mechanics can't figure out what's causing it

I'm starting to wonder if it's the way I drive that does something to the cars. I have been told I have an annoying way of driving.

It's a big day today in my family. My sister and cousin have decided to go in on a duplex together. Their offer was accepted last week. Today an inspector goes though and if all is good they'll close on the 31'st. My lil' sis' is getting her first house!

Also, my Grandmother is leaving her home of 61 years to move in with my aunt and eventually my mother.

She's had alzheimers for years and it's been getting worse. She's been living along for seven years now and we're hoping having some people around will slow down the effects of the disease. She needs some mental stimulation. All she does is sleep (Be quiet Web ).

In the summers she'll live with my Aunt and in the winters she'll live with my Mom. We're expecting today to be an emotional day for the whole family as a new chapter starts in the family. We're a very tight knit group, and probably had 20 big get togethers a year at Grandma's house. That won't happen as much now.

She doesn't want to leave her home either. But it's a bad, BAD neighborhood and with her Alzheimers we're all just too worried about her.

Hope you are all having a GREAT day!

I can see that JR. Brian's family has a similar problem. His mom is all alone in the big ol' house that they moved into when he was 7 (they were a family of 6). She has dementia but not Alzheimers, but she would be better off if she had someone around.

Yeah, I can understand her needing some company then.

My mother in law luckily can remember things, but she still needs an eye kept on her. At one point, "an angel" told her that all her food was poisoned and that she shouldn't eat it. She was taking meds at the time, but the "angel" told her they were poison too. She's a bit more monitored now and is taking her meds regularly, but I still think that having some friends might keep her from making up her own.

Sorry your grandmother is getting that bad JR.  It reminds me of our decision to put my granny in a nursing home.  After my mom died, she got really bad.  She lived alone in an apartment complex for Seniors.  One night around 1:00 in the morning, we got a phone call from the complex.  Granny decided to take her dog out for a walk, slipped and fell on ice and was lying in the snow, nearly frozen to death.  She had been out there in the snow and cold for hours.  She was lucky the complex's security was out making their rounds. 

Years earlier, she made us all swear we'd never put her in a home.  She wanted absolutely nothing to do with them.  But she was so bad, none of us could give her the proper care she needed.  It was one of the hardest decisions we ever had to make.  She didn't live longer than 2 months after we put here in one.  I felt really guilty for a long time after her death for going against her wishes. 

Bueller.... ?? Bueller ??......

aw thats bad, Riggs.

Congrats to Erica tho and your cousin! how exciting for them! Are they staying in town? good neighborhood I hope??
