Scheduled to death again
I no longer have a life.
Nope, I have a schedule.
My life is ruled by appointments.
Take this month, not only do I have a couple of appointments, but so does The Curmudgeon–3 in one week alone.
Lucy also has one to get her teeth cleaned, which means two trips to the vet’s office one to drop her off in the morning and one to pick her up in the afternoon.
Not a morning person…
Never a morning person.
Call before 10 a.m. and you will either get a total bitch or a person who is completely disoriented.
All my friends know better than to call me before 10 a.m. and the smartest ones wait until after noon.
Therefore, for me to go to my cardiologist appointment every 6 months is not an easy thing to do. The latest appointment he has in his office near us is the one I always take and that is for 11:40 a.m.
This time they called to change it for an earlier time, by more than an hour, because he had to leave early.
I dragged my ass out of bed and sucked down a cup of coffee, took care of the dogs, showered and dressed, and was there on time. That in itself was a complete miracle.
The fact that I arrived wide awake and actually joked with the staff and him was unbelievable.
It won’t happen again in my lifetime.

Gone for the day
On the calmer side today.
I had a dentist appointment and told him if he had any trouble while I was gone he should call 911.
You see my dentist is a periodontist and my appointments average out, at the very least, an hour-long.
Comments were made on my Technicolor hands and chin. Jokes were told about them on my part.
I climb in my car to go home and a message flashed up on my dashboard. “your key fob battery is low.”
Crap…I don’t even know how to open the danged thing. Tried Advance auto parts for a new battery and they couldn’t open my key fob.
Decided to go to my car dealer and let them help out. Best idea I could have had.
I love Rothrock’s everyone is so sweet there and they treat you like royalty even for something so small as a key fob battery. They not only sold me a new battery, but they put it in for me.
Lucy has it all figured out…
Or so she thinks.
Pizza bones, the dog loves pizza bones (that pizza crust some people don’t eat…I do but *other people don’t.)
I think she may need an intervention after she gets the last piece of crust tonight.
You see, we usually supply an after trick or treat dinner for our friends. This year I was lazy and ordered several large pizzas all with different toppings. Seems that I am the ONLY one who eats the crusts.
Therefore, we had a pile of pizza bones and dogs were both celebrating.
Lucy gets the last one tonight when she goes out. Gavin already had his.
She will try to climb up on the counter for pizza bones. Good thing she’s too short to get anywhere. LOL! It is comical to watch.
Got Pizza bones?
Day 2 after the fall
Sore?
Oh yeah.
Every single inch of me is sore.
Once you hit a certain age, making a hard landing on to the pavement is much worse.
Parts of me are this color.
Trick or treat night…fun. Falling not so fun
I managed to take a bad fall near the end of trick or treat night.
One of those days
The miserably cold, rainy morning was a harbinger to what the rest of the day would be.
Miserable.
I couldn’t get away from any of it either.
No escape.
The Curmudgeon was in a mood.
Not cheerful.
Come on lottery win!
I am already feeling the effects of the chilly weather. This is not a good thing.
I have no energy or desire to go outside and work in the yard and it needs it.
The desire for a warm climate and beach is driving me crazy.

Some mall trips become adventures
G wanted to go to Bscovs for fleece sheets they had on sale. I was happy to drive us if only for a chance to get away from the house for a couple of hours.
We got her shopping done, put the stuff in the car and went back into the mall to just wander.
Some changes were made since we last were there. There’s a huge candy store with candy from around the world and bins of goodies.
Then there’s the counter of titillating temptations of tons of truffles. I wish I’d thought to pull out my phone to take a picture. Y’all would have drooled all over your keyboards.
I bought two dark chocolate candy squares. On of dark chocolate and sea salt and the other with chipoltes. OMG delicious!
Then I added a new tin of candies to my slowly growing collection of tins. A sugar skull tin!
Not looking forward to winter
I was enjoying our unseasonable October weather and now that it is more like normal for this time of year, I am ready to get out of here.
Yep, don’t like the cold. Makes my bones ache something awful.
Seems that Lucy isn’t very fond of the cold weather either. She’s starting to look for her hoodie.
I hate visiting nurses too young to know they know nothing.
Not looking forward to the visiting nurse from the MS society. She’s coming today.
Last time this nit-wit visited I was ready to take a two by four to her head. She is a complete idiot. I think she’s like 12 years old and has an opinion on everything. Most of which is wrong and out of line.
Actually I have little use for most nurses. My older sister, the idiot, is one and she has absolutely no common sense. I find this all too often in that profession. (My apologies to the few good nurses I know.)
I hope someone will post bail….
I repeat myself…
How many times does one have to repeat saying something to someone before they ‘get it’ please?
Daily, I tell him I am not interested in what he’s watching on TV and he still has to tell me what is going on.
I do not need a blow by blow on a show I don’t give a damn about.
I should have had this Tee on today…
