I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
There used to be a show on called "the Unknown" I believe it was that had a man in a shroud and he would tell some spooky thing before the movie would start and then they would have one of those old black and white creature movies...Saturday afternoon..Mama never wanted us to watch those..she always said, "you know you will not sleep and I will be up with you all night." I would promise I would be ok and please please let us watch Mama...she would usually let us and then somewhere in the middle of the night you could hear me.... "MAMA.......... I bet she wanted to tear my behind up...lol
My first scariest movie I remember was "The Birds". Gosh, hated it when they were pecking trying to get her inside the phone booth. Latest one is "Chucky". That was years ago... we no longer watch ANY scary movies. can't sleep as it is... LOL.
I like the cable channel *MeTV*... my sig other is now watching some of the old TV programs for the first time, that I use to watch on a regular basis. Say what? You never watched Cheers? Or Carol Burnett? Or CHiPS? Nor Adam12? Nor Quincy, M.E.? Oh my gosh, he never watched Love Boat !!
I watched a couple of clips from Baby Jane. It was scary how it reminded me of my mother. doo wee ooooo. What's even worse, sister Blanche reminded me of myself.
Susan, wow... your mom seems to be changing a bit rapidly?... sometimes it seems slower when we are right there with them day in and day out but others see it as a sudden change. Ha, like my brothers whom hadn't seen mom in months said "she's worse every time we see her". REALLY?
Hang on girls...
Anyway... it is weirder than people can imagine. It makes me feel sick when she does it.
Son called just now and is doing ok, just very sore. He got smacked in the ear and side of his head by the airbag, so his ear is still bothering him, and he's pretty sore.
Mom seems better this evening, still a little off in the memory department, but this seems to be how it's been going with her for some time now - she does well for a couple of weeks, then there's some new little glitch - memory, incontinence gets a little worse, mobility gets a little worse, etc. Then she's a little better for a couple of weeks, but the new symptom stays.
liver doc called today about my recent ct scan . it looks good cept for a little thickened speck of tissue somewhere between my esophagus and butthole . i aint real clear on what all goes on there but its gonna cost me another dmnd endoscopy .
i dont mind that , just hate the meds - versed , reversed , p*ssed off cops , etc ..
i asked her if the ct mentioned my howling lumbar to which she replied it indeed did but i should take that up with primary doc . ive no problem saying that some of the best info on the web concerning spine problems comes courtesy of the va . im the va test monkey from hell . needle bearings , u - joints , whatever they wanna try im crazy enough to let em . ive no intention of easing up on hard labor .
My boss likes the website, he's the type that I am surprised he doesn't have a huge billboard on the roof of his building with his photo and name on it :P
FF - I eliminated my LinkedIn account months ago myself - it's becoming less and less of a professional networking site and more of a spam site. I never got any benefit from it, and it was just another passing fad, so I don't miss it now that I don't have it. The last straw was when I found out my ex had looked me up on there. He's involved enough in my life as it is because we have children together. I don't need him checking out my business.
hope, it was so nice yesterday I almost wanted to start up the rototiller and get going on the garden, almost... we do have several more months of this to go so I shouldn't be too hasty, it's just that I'd rather be outside doing anything than inside doing house stuff. Fresh air is good for the soul.
Today at work I got this letter size manila envelope with a return address from someone I never heard of.... inside were three very poorly xeroxed cut out sheets of paper with codes and dollar amounts for iTunes... say what?.... after handling these pieces of paper I quickly used some antibacterial hand sanitizer, and threw the items out.
How did this person across country know of me and my work address? Ah ha, I bet from Linkedin. It just creep me out so much I decided me being on Linkedin wasn't worth it for me.
Whew, I have enough to worry about, I don't need this kind of junk mail.
