Always Something

Okay, so Sunday was a lazy day.  My blood pressure was acting up.  First it was low, then it was high, then it was low again.  Really weird.  So, I just took it easy.  I was also somewhat lightheaded, but that was because of the blood pressure.  I did go to Kevin and Renea’s for supper.  Renea fixed spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread.  Sure was good.  They both had a salad with theirs.  We had apple pie for dessert.  Not as good as Renea’s since it was store bought, but still good.  It was just the three of us.  Stephanie was sick.  Not sure why Ryan wasn’t there.  Renea’s mom and dad were not feeling up to par so they stayed at the camper and Kevin and Renea took some supper down to them.  I came home and watched some television.

I had planned to run some errands today (Monday), but one of my prescriptions was not ready for pickup.  I had run out of refills and needed a doctor approval.  The pharmacy called about noon and said they were ready, but I decided to wait until tomorrow.

I started one of my projects today.  I bought a set of placemats and napkins that need to be embroidered.  I have not done any embroidery for years – probably since I was a teenager.  These are stamped cross stitch so I thought they might be good for an easy start.  I started, and finished, one of the napkins this afternoon.  Doesn’t look bad.  Not perfect, but not bad either.  I actually enjoyed doing it.  I will embroider the other three napkins before I start the placemats.

I started the other three napkins.  Didn’t get too far.  Watched a little television then went to bed.

This morning was not a good morning.  The first thing I noticed was something was wrong with my television.  Lights on it were flashing.  I could not turn it off, but I was able to turn it on.  It went through several procedures and now that is working fine.  I turned on my stove to heat my tea water.  The light came on saying the burners were on, however, none of the burners worked.  I tried the oven and all I got was a clicking noise.  I flipped the breaker, and that didn’t do anything.  I guess I need a new stove.  Then, since it was rather chilly in the house, I turned up the heat and it would not come on.  I checked the breaker.  It had not tripped.  Not sure what is going on here.  Everything else seems to be working just fine.  Hopefully, it won’t get too cold before I find out what is wrong with my furnace.  I can always use my little electric heater.  I called Renea and she is going to have Kevin come over this evening and check my furnace and stove.

Next on the agenda for the day was going to Phenix City.  I stopped at Walgreens and picked up my prescriptions, then stopped at the bank, then Walmart to pick up a few items (especially bird seed), and then dropped off some items at Goodwill.

After I arrived home it was time to put Penny’s flea and tick medicine on her.  It’s just a few drops on the back of her head.  For some reason she does not like it, and now she is unhappy with me. 

I worked on the napkins again.  Watched some television and called it a day.

We are having a very windy day today.  Had some rain during the night/morning.  Not much.  However, it’s cloudy and turning colder.  Did some research on the computer regarding a new stove. 

Kevin came over this evening.  He was talking to Brian on the phone.  They had me check several other appliances while Kevin checked my breaker box, etc.  Not only is my stove not working neither is my furnace, hot water heater, dryer or dishwasher heating elements.  Brian said we have an electrical problem, and I should contact an electrician because Kevin does not do electric – and I don’t blame him.  If I understood Brian and Kevin correctly I have lost a “leg” of my 220 wiring.  So, I spent the evening cleaning out the corner of my bedroom where my breaker box is located.  Since I have no heat, and it was going down in the thirties tonight, I bundled up in pajamas and had three blankets.  I did just fine.
