Today is thrift shop day.

Why?  Because I have the checkbook and the OK to take some money out for myself.  I know.  I know.  The ridiculous OK to take some money.  But those who have been long time know of Chuck's control issues.  I could use the relaxation of just wandering the aisles of the shop.  And to go somewhere without being able to get something.......well, I will never understand why people would "window shop."  I could never do it.

And now for prayers.  I am very worried about my 13 year old grand daughter.  Dawn did finally get her to the doctor.  He isn't worried about her dizziness.  He says it is positional vertigo.  He did a CBC and will also run a Thyroid test too.  He does want her to see a neurologist regarding her constant shakiness.  Then after they get the blood test results and see the neurologist....she has the name and # of a psychiatrist.  This girl is hurting so much.  Dawn's oldest is an angry/sort of mentally uninvolved boy. But he is super intelligent and not in trouble of any kind.  He is kind of withdrawn like his dad.  Perhaps undemonstrative is a better word. They have all been through so much and with parents who do not present a stable attitude, who do not make the kids feel safe and loved-even though they are-they are all suffering.  Jeremy still hasn't heard about whether or not he will be given a position in maintenance with the wind farm.  Dawn said the reason so many people working on these wind farms have lost their jobs due to something the government did but she didn't have any details.  DAMN OBAMA! 

STILL no snow.  Really?  My son in Nevada says they have been having temps in the 20' through the 40"s.  Somehow that sentence sounds wrong.  We will be having super cold temps this weekend and posibble be breaking/setting another record.

Happy, Happy!

I got lucky!!!!!

Well, yeah.  That too.  Finally!  I guess if you are married to an "old" man and keep him waiting long enough.......he will um...well he....let's just say that things work as they should.
But no.  I am talking about an all day marathon of Criminal Minds!  And since Chuck left with Maggie, I get to watch our little-and currently only-TV in the kitchen.  Yay!

Chuck went to bed at 8pm because he likes to leave early in the morning.  I had taken a nap from 4pm - 8pm because I only slept 5 hours the night before.  BTW, whenever I talk about sleeping short hours....it is my own doing.  I chose to stay up.  Anyway,  I stayed up a couple hours knowing he sleeps better without me even though he says I do not bother him.  I was going to go to bed when he woke up but decided to help him get on the road.  A fresh pot of coffee and....how could I resist.  By then it was only about 4 hours until I would normally take my morning meds.  So I thought I would stay up and go to sleep after taking them.  I went to bed at 7am and when I woke up, I saw that I hadn't taken my pills.  What a stupid!

I don't hear much from my daughter.  I contact and offer but don't push.  My 13 year old grand daughter is now exhibiting the same behavior that my daughter did when she was about that age.  In fact Dawn still feels like that sometimes.  Meadow says she is often shaking and dizzy.  And my son called me to let me know he's been having more headaches and they are more painful.  He is not a complainer at all.  But since he is the one with the brain tumor....he pays attention to these things now.  He said he may or may not see a doctor.  He is smart and will do what he needs to.  He is the one who calls just to see how I am.  

Chuck has called me twice since he left this morning.  I wish he wouldn't drive straight through.
Speaking of driving....I am pretty sure we are not renting a place in Florida this year.  As always he waited until it was too late.  But I am glad.  We will just ramble around here and there, perhaps starting with North Carolina and going to Florida from there.  Will see his son and family in Orlando and then go down to Cape Coral where we used to have our condo.  Maybe the Keys....just the kind of trip I really wanted.  No.  I mean for real.  No pressure.  No time tables.  Just he and I and Maggie and the muzzle I am going to gift her with.  Ha!

Peace & love.
