A Little Bit of Everything


Tuesday was heart doctor day.  Still have the same problems, but they are under control.  She said all the tests show that my heart is fine.  She is still convinced that my problem is pulmonary.  I will be taking the pulmonary breathing test again next Wednesday.  I am now on Symbicort for maintenance along with Albuterol for emergency.  I do not use the Albuterol nearly as much as I was.  I do not have to see Dr. Bennett for a year now unless I have a problem.


Since I was there most of the morning, I didn’t get much accomplished except my daily chores.  I did take a nap because I was up so early and worn out.


Not getting much done in regarding yard work.  First it was really hot and humid, but now it has been raining every time I want to go outside.  Today I did weed the containers (the Franklin trees are doing just fine), weeded around the azaleas and the forsythias.  So, I guess I got a little bit done.  I also paid some bills.  Yesterday I called the electric company because my security light has burned out.  Of course, I had to leave a message and I have not heard back from them.  If I don’t hear anything today I will call again tomorrow.


Looks like I am having problems getting books delivered through the US Mail again.  While I was in Ohio I ordered three books through Barnes and Nobel.  I have received one.  Guess I will need to make some phone calls about this.  So, I did make a call.  The folks at Barnes and Nobel were very nice.  They are considering the books as lost in transit and will be sending two new ones.  Thank you Barnes and Nobel.  No hassle whatsoever.


Penny is on guard duty again this morning.  I assume she caught a whiff of another mouse.  The trap is set.  I made sure it was baited.  We will see if I get another one.


Didn’t get a lot more done today. I had a really bad day with my vertigo, arthritis, fibromyalgia and VOR.  Thinking positive – tomorrow will be a better day.


The electric company came this afternoon and replaced the security light in my front yard.  It was like daylight out there last night.  However, I have room darkening curtains so I didn’t have any trouble sleeping.


Yes!  Today is a better day.  I have accomplished quite a bit this morning, and, hopefully, will get a lot more done this afternoon.


In addition to my morning chores, I signed up for a genealogy class, made reservations to board Penny, cleaned out the bookcase in my bedroom, and talked to Jana and Renea on the phone.  After lunch it started raining and rained the rest of the day.  Was still raining when I went to bed.  Didn’t get much more done.  Just some odds and ends.  Tomorrow is another day.


Good Morning!  Got a good night’s sleep.  However, Penny woke me at 5:30 a.m. so I shut the door and went back to bed until a little after seven.  I checked the mouse trap, and it seems I have a very clever mouse.  He is somehow eating the peanut butter, tripping the trap and still escaping.  This is going to be a challenge.  I WILL GET HIM!


I just checked the rain gauge and found we had 1-1/2 inches of rain yesterday.  I guess we are no longer in a drought.  However, I still lost my three tulip poplar trees and two of the new pecan trees. 


Worked on my genealogy today.  Actually got quite a lot accomplished.  I entered the information I found regarding Jim’s grandparents and great grandparents on his mother’s side.  I still have quite a bit of research to do as far as they are concerned.  They seem to be very elusive.


I was invited to Kevin and Renea’s for supper.  They were having a grill-out, so I said yes.  Renea’s mom and dad were there.  I took a glass of wine with me and enjoyed the late afternoon and evening.  Renea was not feeling well so I didn’t see her.  Watched a little television when I came home then called it a night.


This morning I went to Barnes and Nobles to get a couple of books.  However, I was told that one of them wouldn’t be released until June 6th.  I did pick up a few others.  I just had to because I had two coupons! 


The rest of the day was quiet.  Went to Mass at 5:30.  Picked up my prescription.  Watched a little television.  Then called it a day.
