New Curtains

I’m back.  Yesterday (Thursday) I had the oil changed in my car.  They also rotated the tires, and checked the brakes.  All is well.  I wanted everything checked before we headed to Ohio.  We (Kevin, Renea and I) will be there for one day.  We will travel on Friday, be there on Saturday and come back home on Sunday.  Steven is coming home from Hawaii, and Brian is having an open house type party so we can all visit with him.  He will be home for about a month.  I have made arrangements to board Penny.  However, Stephanie and Rebecca (Bruce and Jennifer’s daughter) will be staying at Kevin and Renea’s to take care of the dogs.

After I had the car taken care of I went to Barnes and Nobels.  I bought a couple of books.  Not many new ones out there that I am looking for right now.  After leaving there I went to WalMart which is in the same shopping area and bought a few groceries.  I also bought curtain rods for my new living room curtains.  I then headed home.  I was shocked at the amount of traffic.  I’m usually not out driving at that time of day. 

After I finished eating supper I had planned on doing my physical therapy since I didn’t do it earlier.  However……I was kidnapped by my next door neighbors to go with them to see Bruce and Jennifer’s new house.  It is big and beautiful.  And, they were kind enough to bring me back home.  By then it was almost bedtime and I’m sorry to say I didn’t do my physical therapy.

Woke up bright and early this morning (Friday) and after I ate breakfast and started my laundry.  I did my physical therapy.  If all goes well I hope to do another session later this afternoon or evening.  Depends on how tired I am.  My laundry is now finished, dishes are done and the house has been straightened up.  Time for a break.

No, I didn’t do another session of physical therapy.  I was too tired.

Saturday I woke feeling miserable.  Had a lazy day.  I did do my pt, but I did it in “sections” kind of like I mow my grass.  Kevin did mow the back yard.  He stopped in to tell me my mower is out of commission.  Something has broken on it and he will be fixing it when he gets a chance.  That’s okay because he has been mowing my grass since I have been having my dizzy spells, etc.  Now I have another excuse J 

YEA!!!! We had some rain today so I won’t have to water the trees and plants.  I received my water bill yesterday and it was triple what it normally is.  Hope we get more rain!

Forget more rain.  I am back to watering everything.  Right now the most important item is the dawn redwood tree (Jim’s tree).  It is starting to look better.

Yesterday I had my physical therapy and she added a few more things to do.  I sure hope this helps.  After the pt I am always tired, so the rest of the day was kind of lazy.  On the way home Renea (she was driving) and I came to a complete stop on Hwy 80.  The police were making everyone turn around.  That was interesting because we don’t know the back roads too well.  So we got out the GPS and found our way.  Turns out there was a wreck between a tractor trailer truck and SUV.  Five people were killed including two children.  So said.  Don’t know any details.

This morning I washed the windows in the living room and hung my new curtains.  They are burlap, and I’m glad I went with them.  I really like the way they look.  Now let’s see how long it takes for Penny to try taking them down.  I hung them differently so she shouldn’t be able to

Do that.  I did hang them in a way that she can look out the windows.  Now it’s time for a rest before I do anything else.

Did you see her waiting to check them out?  This is going to be fun :)
