Today, I wasn’t a people person sort of person
No, instead I was extremely cranky and not nice at all.
Why?
Well, maybe because The Curmudgeon woke me, less than an hour after I went to sleep, to tell me he couldn’t move, had to pee, and needed my help.(I am NOT a nurse and never once ever had a single glimmer of desire to be one.)
I am not a pleasant person when I have less than an hour of sleep.
When I wake suddenly and go directly into a state of panic, I am not a pleasant person.
So when you block my driveway and I ask you nicely to move your vehicle and please tell your guests not to block my driveway. Yet, they go ahead and block it anyway. Yep, you got it. I AM NOT A PLEASANT PERSON!
I WILL bring Gavin out and let him pee on your front steps, sidewalk, and on the offending car’s tires. (Be glad I didn’t let him run inside your house as he wanted to do–leaving the front door wide open was an invitation to him.)
I will peez wherever da Momma tells me to pee. I luvz to pee!
I’ll keep house hunting …
For as long as it takes to convince The Curmudgeon to leave this area, I will keep looking at houses on beaches, near beaches, or within a very short drive of beaches.
Mind you I am talking warm beaches. No more cold for me. The last couple of winters have been far too cold, so cold that even my bones would ache.
So, if you live where winter is considered cold at 50 degrees and near or on a beach, please tell me about the area. I may take a look at the local real estate there.
I iz weddy for da beach life!
Can’t leave her alone with The Curmudgeon…
I thought crating the little dickens as The Curmudgeon went up to bed so I could slip over to G’s place would not be a problem.
Turns out she barked the entire couple of hours I was gone. The stinker.
I duz not wanna beez in my cwate I wanna beez on da couch. So dere!
I don’t like to shop. I’m weird that way.
I wish I knew why I have such an aversion to shopping. Grocery or other, it doesn’t matter, I don’t like doing it.
Doing it with someone takes some of the edge off for me, but still, shopping to me is sheer torture.
Could it be the spending of money? I don’t think so but you never know.
Are you a shopper or are you like me and hate to shop?
“You could go buy me a nudder ball Momma. I luvz dis.”
“You have two of those already, Lucy.”
“Butz thwee would be more bedder.”
“I’m not saying my sissie is greedy…oh yeah, yes, yes I am.”

For those who are new to my blog:
I call my husband The Curmudgeon. He has secondary progressive MS.
We have two Bull Terriers. Gavin a standard Bull Terrier who will soon be 14 years old and Lucy a large mini Bull Terrier who is a rescue and approximately 4 to 5 years old.

Hurry up Mom, come back to the couch and get off the computer.
A couple of good days in a row?
It’s a damned shame that I am afraid to talk about when The Curmudgeon has a few decent days in a row for fear of jinxing it.
He has so few of them.
He did manage to scare the crap out of me today by, once again, not leaving me a note when he’s off somewhere. He claims he can’t write well enough to leave one.
Looks like I need to make a special board with a magnet he can move around.
I went to:
the pharmacy
the store
to get a blood test
a doctor appointment
I think that would work. Either that or have Lucy keep him in check.
Rainy day
With it comes the rainy day blahs. Not the blues, the blahs.
Woke up with no desire to do anything. Not unusual before coffee, but even with two cups on board, I still felt like doing nothing.
Gloomy, dreary, blah day. Even the pups weren’t interested in anything but dozing the day away.
The Curmudgeon spent the day being more curmudgeonly than usual.
Oh, how I long for a life on the beach where, even with rain, I can enjoy watching the waves.
Overview
So there’s rain predicted for the next couple of days. Happy to see it, we’ve been a bit dry lately.
Lucy’s boyfriend and his brother made quick work of the magnolia tree branches so there’s that off my list of things that need doing before winter.
I’m sure my mowers will appreciate having more headroom too.
Caulking, cement work, and other things will, hopefully get finished before the cold weather hits us.
I would rather be out of here long before then and moved to my dream beach home…but, that is a dream.
The revamping of the magnolia tree
Trimmed out more magnolia tree branches, using the loppers not the chain saw this time.
I have Lucy’s boyfriend on tap for the cutting of the heavier parts of the branches with the chain saw tomorrow.
It will be nice for our mowers when they no longer have to duck so many low branches while mowing.
My next project is getting the rest of the rocks in the yard relocated to where they won’t interfere with the mowing.
The tree in the spring.
Cheeze!!!
Oh, my goodness I iz ober da moon!
Momma went to diz place cawed da fahmers mahket. She broughted home a bag ob cheeze cubeez and she letted me an da brudder habs sum ob dem!
Day iz gud!!!
Gimme sum moah ob dat cheeze Ma!
CVS puts three MS drugs on its no longer covered list.
Avonex, Extavia, and Plegridy all three are MS drugs on CVS’s no longer covered’ list.
It’s bad enough there are so few drugs for patients with MS but to not cover three from that short list is despicable.
It’s all about profit. I say a huge profit needs to be set aside where the health and welfare of a person (or animal) is concerned. Do not price drugs out of reach or drop them from drug plans when they have been proven to be helpful.
Thank goodness some drug companies do offer help to those of us who desperately need it.
Shame on the ones that don’t.
Hey drug companies and pharmacies, go get your huge profits from vanity drugs like Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis and lower the prices on drugs for heart disease, high blood pressure, and diseases like MS and COPD. Lower the prices on antibiotics, vaccines, and other life saving drugs. 
Greedy drug companies
Finally there was a medication that helped Gavin with his allergies. It was expensive but it helped so we paid for it. Lucy is also on it and it has helped her some.
Went for a refill yesterday and the price has almost tripled. I might not be able to afford refills after this. I will have to rob Peter to pay Paul this month after paying for the medication.
Not my vet’s fault, it is the manufacturer.
Greedy freaking drug companies not only rip us off on our own medications but they keep many pets from having a happy, healthy life by jacking their pricing through the roof and making them hard to get.
Shame on them.
These two deserve to be comfortable.
