Sweet Interruptions: Suite # 309

im so sorry to hear you had such a bad day Susan. Sending you hugs.

well, for the woman - she seemed ok until she talked to me. I don't think she trusts me - I told her by email that we hadn't been able to do anything the day before because Bob was at the hospital. Then when I mentioned that her damage deposit would be put in trust for her, she gave me an odd look and asked me to put it in writing - I already had. Obviously something didn't "click" with us, in person. Maybe it's because I told her as a Christian, I keep my word on stuff. Could be that she didn't like that reference? I really don't know, and at this point I don't care. I'm moving on in life - I am not going to let her ruin my day/week/life. I won't take ownership of her bad manners.

I sure hope you can find a renter quickly.


Well, we have been looking for an suv, so it is easier for me to get in and out of with my hip. It was so hard for me to get in and out of our truck we had.
Today, I went and bought a cadillac srx, dark metallic blue.

Beautiful SUV, and so happy that you'll be able to get in/out of it more easily! That's important :-)

LizH, thank you. God has richly blessed me with sisters like you and a brother too!! Thank you again Liz.

Karen, I am overwhelm with your offer of picking me up. You don't know how SAD that makes me feel. Yes, sad. I have a man living in this house that wants me out, and there you are that haven't seen me and loves me more than him.

Oh yes Pegi, I believe that God always help the righteous. I am proof.. not that I'm righteous, but because He loves us.

Susan, some people feel threatened when dealing with Christians.. guess they think we aren't regular people. Quite true too!! Lol.

Brother Ernie, I had my first fresh tomatoes two days ago, but store bought. I thought about you. My church sister invited me over for supper, and I went crazy even though there's no taste. I left the meat on the platter, and indulged on tomatoes and stir fried fresh green beans!! Not as good as yours I am certain.

I am forced to make this short.... waving to all.. and LK, I love that SUV.

My head is spinning, just got back from the doctor. I lost sixty six pounds total. He puts me on Prozac, says that will work better than the current anti depressants.
More meds.. but thanks to special angels.. I'll be medically taken care of for the next few months.
Lord Jesus is so good to us all.

Love your SUV Linda Kay, it is a beauty.

Jaye, I have been on Prozac for a long time, doctor increased it when DH was put on hospice and I became a basket case. I am so sure that helped me over all the rough spots. Congrats on the total weight loss!! Would love to lose, but if only I would quit eating things I shouldn't have. You deserve those special angels you have all around you.

I've been thinking it is time to make a doctor appointment and get acquainted with my new one. Just thinking, but haven't really decided yet.

Pegi, you better get in with the new Dr. it may take a while to get in.

Also sending prayers for Bob and family.

I will be taking the Cadillac to San Antonio tomorrow for an injection in my hip. I hope he has the referral for me to the orthopedic surgeon.

Nice ride there LK. Love the caddy's. they always ride so smooth.
jaye glad you have some angels .
Susan some people are never happy and need to make others miserable. I think that lady is one of them.

Jaye - WOW - was this weight loss intentional, or due to meds? Whatever it is, congrats!! Now, if I could lose that much, I'd be better and easier on the knees.......

Just got home, and I'm exhausted - couldn't find the swiffer pads to wash the floors at old place, so picture this - me, squirting the cleaner from the swiffer wetjet, then bending from the waist to wipe the floor with a microfibre. I can't bend at the knees without a lot of distress. This is tiring work, to be sure. I'm going to hut down the box of pads here at the house, but first - nap time.......

LK you be careful driving that new luxury mobile down the highway to the big city it is so easy to speed when the car floats like it is on a cloud. I know speed controls help out just saying be careful but am sure you will be. I am 5 to 6 weeks away from a real tomatoe which I can't eat on my kidney diet. There may be som cherry toms ripe sooner.

Good job Jaye if I could have lost 60 pounds or so on my own I wouldn't have had to have stomach bypass surgery. It was effective I lost 105 pounds. My a1c went down from 10.5 to 6.2 and now I don't have to use insulin or metformin.

The Mariners just lost to NY again boo hiss, Now to turn off the commentary those armchair heros use makes me sick. You would think they get paid by the amount of words they second guess and rehash with what was obvious duhh.

Susan your son is a brat cut him out of your will

Well I did it today I hit my gh table with my electric wheele chait and down it went. It is 4 feet by 16 feet. It only had a few plants on it and a flat of green bean seeds. The few plants stayed put and none were damaged. The beans will have to be replanted. It was a rickety thing which I take up and put down. LOL I really put it down this time. No problem I will fix it right this time just as soon as I feel better. besides I don't really need it for about 8 months.

Susan your son is a control freak brat. Who does he think he is censoring who can talk with who. Just because he has a problem with his son is no business of his who talks with anyone.

I will be careful on my trip.

Ernie - I'd already decided that if he tries to reconnect with me I FB that I would dismiss it. I won't deal with a brat...... too much drama in my own life........

Susan I have one to. He called this morning at 6 my time . It did not wake me I was up but he should time his calls by our time not by where hes at.

Watch that knee Susan. You are not a young un remember~

Good thing that table didn't topple over you! We are too far away to help, Ernie!
I think some folks need a license to operate an electric wheel chair!! Lol!!
My late FIL tried to do "pop a wheelie" with his.

Sue, Kel gave me only 20 for the doctor's visit, even though he knows the bill would be 100. I was wondering how in the dickens could I pay for the meds.
Seems that the NP that had called in, had referred me as a special financial case. For all the meds needed, I was given a BIG discount. I used whatever little balance left from my own personal CC.
When I got home, there was money waiting for me in PayPal. From an unexpected source. God is good.

You'd be looking good in that Caddilac, LK :D

The Prozac helped me sleep last night, and today, I cried only once!! And that's over the unexpected help.
It wasn't a planned weight loss sisters and brother.
I just couldn't eat. Synda had to call me and remind me to eat. More often, I forced myself to nibble on something even with the foods I love.
Yes, it's great to lose that much. I can now take out my old clothes, and mercifully, they still look 'current'.
Yes, like brother Ernie said, one good thing is I use less insulin.

That is a lot of weight to lose Jaye, please be careful, and eat something!

LK, my face has slimmed so much that I can see my ears now!! No fat cheeks to block them!!

Today, I forced myself to eat half a peanut butter sandwich. Before I leave for church, I'll find something else that will whet my appetite.
Promise you that LK, that I will at least have 500 calories before bed :)

Eat the other half of sandwich for me! :)

Told you my son must have unfriended me.........well, for "good or ill", I figured that if he asked to re-friend, I would dismiss.......... Today I saw his Feed Post on my page, so I unfriended HIM. I couldn't find him to unfriend him before - guess he was "gone from my life" at that point, so I couldn't do anything. And no, before you think he may have made a technical mistake and didn't really unfriend me - he's very much tech savvy. He & I both worked as tech support in the same company once upon a time....... him in a more technical dept than I.

Still looking for a renter for our mobile........

Hope you find a renter soon Susan.

Been thinking about buying a laptop, since my computer fund is looking pretty good right now, but I really should save that money for necessary things. Something I will have to think a lot about before making a decision. Maybe I should just invest in the flat panel screen which I've wanted for a long time.

Wow, I now found that Windows 10 icon on my task bar. Coming out July 29th and because I have trust issues I thought it was some hacker trying to mess all of us up. A few web sites telling all about it. I guess they finally realized how many people don't like 8.1.

It's legit Pegi. I've heard for some time this was coming.

In order it happened, not importance:
1. got our place rented via kijiji.ca - lovely young couple with a baby who'll be 1 in August. Rent as of June 15

2. Alice & I talked on the phone - she was in hospital for 1 week (home now). They think either it's her brain tumour, or a stroke - she was talking oddly, not making much sense. They say she hasn't much time left. A month ago they said "3 to 6 months".......... still on that timeline. Alice says she will make sure to make the most of this summer - a Winnipeg Summer, to be sure..........

Please pray for Alice and her husband Glen (who also has cancer).

My prayers continue Susan...

Susan that's the pits those poor people sheesh not one but two.

Daylight is on the way I can see the sky. If it was a bit warmer I would go outside and do something even if it is wrong.

Alice spent a week in the hospital - she was pretty darn sick...... throwing up a lot
Also, they're not sure if it was a stroke, or the brain tumour, but she was talking oddly - not saying what she was trying to: meant to say "My sister is coming over to tidy the house" turned into "My sister is going to wash my elbow". She corrected herself, but that was happening a lot. At cancer care they said "Where is Alice and what have you done with her" because she wasn't sounding like herself at all. Anyway, she's home now, and facing the inevitable.........
Poor Glen - they are so much in love after all these years - he'll be lost without her. She's only 72, and he's mid-70's (not sure exactly). Far too young to be facing this. But, is anyone ever really old enough? She's had lung cancer for 17 years, and fought it until now. He just got diagnosed with cancer a few months ago.

Keeping them in my prayers.....

Thank you, Barb

Keeping Alice and her hubby in prayer. It is so hard going through all these health problems. My brother-in-law is saying weird things too, and they said he had a stroke.

I had to call the Geek Squad because I didn't know if the windows 10 download was the real thing. It just is up to the person if they want it or not. So many don't like Windows 8 and I hope 10 is a better choice.

Thanks Pegi
Win 10 is real, but as it's Cloud-based, everyone will see your stuff (including police & gov't) - it's all about sharing...... that's what Cloud technology is

Oh dear Susan, I'll keep your family in my prayers. When the mind is still there but the speech doesn't co operate, that must be so hard too on Alice.

I didn't get an offer for Windows 10 on my pc, but Kel's laptop did. We are both using Windows 7 Home Premium and as Susan had said, if it's Cloud based, I think I'll just let Kel upgrade, and I'll still hang on to 7. Maybe his was offered for he had 8 before switching to 7,

LK, did you get the referral you needed? Or they think shots for now is the way to go?
Hate knowing you are in pain most of your waking hours.

Prosac has been helping me a lot.
Cried only once yesterday. Seeing I was getting a little help with my meds.
Sleep deprivation, hope that's becoming a history.
Yes, sleeping better and today, as much as he tried to raise my ire, I was calm.. very scaringly calm.
It scares me too!!

I have Windows & and I got the offer. It might come in yet.

I am back home. Dr. Said he will keep giving me injections as long as I need them. I did get a referral, I need to call tomorrow and see if they take my insurance.

Hope it wall works out for you LK. sending healing thoughts to you.

LK me thinks you need a new DR.

Jaye when I have trouble sleeping I take Melatonin it is a natural sleep aid and taken with a cup of coco is just what the Dr ordered when I told him I wanted a non narcotic sleep aid . Don't rise to Kels bait you will be happy with yourself and It will p333 him off that he did not get to you.

If my Win 7 professional conks out that will be the end of my computer stuff. From the sounds of things I don't want anything to do with Win 10.

I gave away three big pots with two Tumbler cherry tomato plants loaded with blooms. They make such neat gifts set outside the kitchen door they are quick to grab for salads and are handy for snacking on.

(((((LK))))) hope they take your insurance, and glad you're getting a referral

Met new tenants tonight, got lease signed and damage deposit - they're an adorable couple with a 10 mo old baby girl - she's so sweet, placid and happy

I do hope your insurance will be accepted LK.

I truly don't think I'll upgrade mine to a 10, Karen. Since it isn't offered, I might have to pay for it if I chose to.

Good for you Susan!! Bet a new baby quilt will be in your to do list. So glad that Lord led the family to you.

Brother Ernie, I will get a bottle of Melatonin tomorrow. I had tried it once, aeons ago, but it didn't work for me, didn't do without hot cocoa though.
When my "French" nieces and nephew were here, my three red cherry tomatoes and one golden one were feasted daily by them. If trhey could zap the blooms to turn into instant fruits, they would. They also stripped the raspberries!!
Not only do they devour the fruits, any bugs they see, they'd try to catch them. City kids!!

hmmmm well, have to set up my sewing room first, and I have a feeling that's a ways off yet.......
and we're going camping the 3rd week of June - can hardly wait!! Ready for a break........

All I got this year was a couple grape tomatoes for Amelia. They are handy on the front deck and she will eat them as soon as she finds a red one.

Morning everyone! I crashed about 8 last night and slept till 7 this morning. Coffee is ready!

Susan, I am so glad you found that nice family to rent your place.

LK - I'm over the moon about them, they seem SO nice.
Now, if I can get these tenants to stop parking on the lawn, and get the landlord to remove the 3 appliances, then I can get going on making the yard look like a YARD, instead of a parking lot & dumping ground....... it looks so trashy at the moment.......

I have a Dr's app't at 1:20 re: my knees......

Jay a glass of warm milk before bed helps to. So if you don't want the sugar from the coco.Oh the Dr said milk coco not water coco.

Deep watered every thing it is going to be very hot today high 70 low 80 yuk. By that time of day I will be in the prone position taking inventory of the insides of my eyelids.

Sugar snap peas are ripe Linda picked me some last night then forgot to cook them. I guess lunch time. Hey I can boil water maybe I will just have a mid morning snack or maybe not.

Maybe casino tonight but then it is a pain in the wheel chair.

Ok back to work for me have a good day all. LK thanks for the coffee.

Susan did you know MJ helps with knee pain so my DR told me.
