A hodgepodge day
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Never have an MRI done when you have a stuffed up nose. Oh, did I need to sit up and breathe! Longest 30 minutes of my life. No results for a couple of days while the radiologist reads the scan and reports on it to my doctor.
Earlier in the day, G and I went to Home Depot where I found a pot of flowers for the blue rocking chair on the porch, eggplants for two of my large pots, a large patio tomato plant in its own pot, and a smaller heirloom tomato plant for another one of my pots, and a pepper plant.
From there we went to Dan Schantz’s nursery and I found some pale lavender petunias to put in the three planters behind the blue rocker that I thought would go very well with the purple flowers in the chair.
A late lunch at Ihop of grilled a chicken club on brioche with a fresh fruit cup for the next stop which we followed with a quick stop at the nearby dollar store where I found three different types of radish seeds.
We got home just in time to unload my stuff and hers before I had to dash off to have the MRI done.

Oh great… more testing
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Busy day of running errands, a doctor’s appointment, and him sending me for an MRI.
When your doctor says, “In my 37 years of practice I have never seen this before.”
Run.
Now I’m in for more testing. An MRI with contrast to begin. The way he’s talking, there will be more tests.
Ugh.
Just send me away to beach, a peaceful beach… for the rest of my life. I’ll pack up my dogs and me and gladly go. Maybe I’ll find happiness again. I miss that. It’s been a long time gone.

Can I take the contoller away from him permanently?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Anyone else driven crazy by their husband’s constant playing with the controller during a good program or a movie?
There we were watching The Martian, and doesn’t he start playing with the controller. Turning on the closed captions, turning them off, playing with them on two controllers.
Got so I missed half the movie because he played around with the controller so much.
I finally told him, “If you touch one button you will be walking funny because I will shove that damned controller up your ass.”
I guess it’s a man thing. Once I start a show, I leave the controller alone.

Yikes, both hands in braces…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I have days where, to ease the pain in my hands and fingers, I need to wear braces.
Usually, it is just one hand at a time. Not so this night.
Both hands are painful. The left one is both painful and numb–that’s the elbow impingement working its mojo there.
This makes typing simple…NOT.
The Curmudgeon’s neurologist appointment went well. They are not as concerned about his kidneys as the desk gal that called us made it out to be.

If he can’t hear his TV…look out!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
The Curmudgeon got ticked off yesterday. More than usual. He was watching a favorite show on TV, when the neighbor across the street decided to crank up the music. Again.
After ten minutes of rattling windows, he figured they weren’t going to turn it down. He called the police.
It wasn’t me.
When The Curmudgeon cannot hear his TV which is 8.5 feet away from him because some idiot is blasting music across the street…Yes, the usually mild-mannered man gets pissed.
Cardiologist appointment
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I go to see my cardiologist every six moths.
Now, I wasn’t quite sure about his sense of humor, so I wore my new t-shirt under my overalls.
I asked him, “do you have a good sense of humor?”
He said, ” yes.”
“Does foul language bother you?”
“No.”
I showed him my T-shirt.
My cardiologist has a great laugh.

As I have grown older…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I have learned…
That pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing people off is a piece of cake.
You can have your cake and eat it too.
I no longer care who does or doesn’t like me.
There are people and situations that will never change.
I have no more fucks to give.
Ending the day with a glass of wine just might get me through the night.
I am who I am and I don’t care what anyone thinks of me.

Peace and quiet?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Where does one find such a thing?
I really need to find it.
I crave it.
Salt air, sand, and waves along with it would be ideal.

It is possible to both love and hate someone
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Tonight I hate him.
I can feel the venom filling my soul with hate for him.
I hate that he is no longer capable of doing anything around here and I am left to do it all.
I hate that he doesn’t give a tinker’s damn about my feelings.
I hate that he makes me feel this way and makes me hate myself.
