Best soup I ever tasted

Twenty minutes to heaven.
Even The Curmudgeon (not a big fan of soups) liked it.

I can’t do this
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Maybe if I were younger. If I didn’t have my health problems. Maybe then I could do this.
I don’t have the strength to watch him leave piece by piece. So much of who he was is already gone.
I cry every night after he goes to bed. Body wracking, red-nosed, snot running, tear-stained face, ugly cries. I’ve cried for years. Hard to believe the tears still pummel me. I wonder when they will stop. Will they ever stop?

If I had three wishes
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I have three wishes and they are:
- To have my house cleaned and painted from basement to attic.
- To have the front porch repaired
- To have my yard landscaped/hardscaped so the erosion stops and it is easy for me to take care of year round.
Three things I would wish for but know they are impossible to fulfill:
- A cure for The Curmudgeon’s MS
- To live on a beach for the remainder of my life
- To never have to worry about money again

Whoohoo! I have all of my files!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I finally got brave and connected my Passport hard drive to my lap top. I had feared the hacker had found it and infected it too since I had it connected to my desk top when he struck.
He missed it! Yay! It is clean and clear of any interference.
I have all my books, all my pictures, everything!
Doing a happy dance!
And to the hacker I say:

Not fun to wake up sick
Posted by doggonedmysteries
With a throat on fire, ears all wonky, and a headache that wouldn’t quit, I told The Curmudgeon that I was off to our doctor’s emergency and walk in clinic. He knows when I say that, I am SICK.
I hate going to the doctor’s.
Worse thing is, I have another appointment on Thursday.
Sigh…more pills to take.
Now I’m going to follow doctor’s orders and get some rest.
Come on Momma. I willz snugglez wiff you and make youze awl beddor.

Isn’t it over yet?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I’m already sick of the election and it isn’t even 2016 yet. If the idiot in the toupee makes it to the primary I think I’ll seriously look into becoming an ex pat.
I hate mud-slinging and I can’t abide idiots. This is a record year election for all that already.

Zzzzzzzzzz, Oh my!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
What is it about having a dog who is snoring while snuggling with her head against my hip that makes me so sleepy? This is a nightly thing around here.
I can’t believe how sleepy I get when she’s next to me snoring her silly head off.

My tens machine…it keeps me going
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Constant injuries to my back from lifting and moving The Curmudgeon around has me grateful that I have my tens machine.
On days like yesterday, when I wake up in so much pain I don’t want to crawl out of bed, it does give me some much-needed relief.
I do not want to take pain killers or have surgery so this is how I deal with it.

Out and about
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Even though The Curmudgeon had a rough start to his day, I HAD to get out.
G and I dropped off the old router at the UPS store. The guy behind the counter was a hoot.
Then we picked up my Sit-N-Cycle at Bed, Bath, and beyond. On sale fifty dollars off and G had a coupon for an additional twenty percent off. I saved eighty bucks!
Time to go out for lunch after that and Longhorn Steakhouse waved us in. We shared a mussels appetizer and we both had a lovely prime rib sandwich and fries, yummy!
After that, we needed some exercise, so we went walking around the nearby mall. G found a wallet for a good price.
It felt so good to get out of the house after two weeks of being shut in with him.
I will have to get out once more this week. We need some groceries. Another lunch out sounds good too. I wonder who would like to go shopping with me, lunch is my treat.

Oh you made plans? Tough shit.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Had it all set up. G and I were going out to lunch, shopping for my exer-cycle, sending the old router back to Verizon, and getting me out of the house because I am ready to keel him.
Well, that didn’t happen.
I had to snag a neighbor to get him up off the floor when I got up. Lucky for him he’d just gone down and wasn’t there for hours. Then he informs me he has a pain management appointment and I have to take him.
He rushed me so much, that I left without my purse which meant I didn’t have my Kindle to keep me happy. Therefore, I was not a happy camper when I had to sit around and wait listening to an idiotic judge whatever the hell this one’s name was show on an old boxy tube TV with horrible sound.
For what they charge there you’d think they would at least put a decent TV in. Seriously, it looked like this one.

I just want to sleep all the time
Posted by doggonedmysteries
At least we had sun yesterday.
Much better than more rain.
If only energy had come along with it.
I might have accomplished something.
As it was, I cooked dinner and did the dishes.
Wow. So much energy. Not.

Too damned cold already
Posted by doggonedmysteries
For a couple of days now we’ve had our heat turned on and I’ve had to wear a hoodie to take the dogs out.
I am not ready to face another winter.
The house is not ready for another winter.
Brrrr.
Where’s my beach?
