Today I am going to attempt to make a salad. Oddly enough I have all the ingredients in my fridge. No cilantro or parsley, but they get stuck in my teeth and I won’t miss them.
Yesterday I took the day off to go have a CT of my chest. took less than ten minutes. My department planned a Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. That morning I went online and ordered groceries. What an excellent day. Traffic was with me. Sun was shining. The food was good. And it was there that I got to eat some of this lovely salad. We played games and won candy. I really like not working on Fridays.
Along with my salad, I decided that I will cook pork chops and 2x bake potatoes. Today I feel like cooking. At the moment I am sitting in the living room watching Jungle Cruise. It is not as bad as I thought, I am so over with The Rock being in almost every movie made.
Later I am heading out the door to do a little decorating (read cleanup). I am going to put up my pop up awning on the deck directly from the backdoor. I am going to fill up the tent weights with sand I just bought from the co-op. Geez what are you doing? Winter is coming. You don't need to put up an awning!! Look you took down the sails. good grief. Yeah, actually I do. That area is going to be the place that I set up my little wood splitting project. Seems I read somewhere that this winter is going to be cold. I am not a fan of cold.
Guys!?! Justin honest to God cleaned the house last Saturday. I went to get out the vacuum cleaner and noticed the carpet looked really good. Checked around he had wiped counters and dusted. The bathroom? Cleaned. I did tell him that I noticed and thanked him. Could he thinks he should help out. I hope he remembers.
This is not me. I like her hair tho. Do you remember way back when I was diagnosed with my old friend, pulmonary sarcoidosis? How I had every test under the sun to diagnose what ever was going on? And how we battled it for a year with the most godawful legal medication? Yeah it never goes away.
Today I went to see my doctor who had my PFT results and we were going to go over them. My bp was 111/58, can you imagine?
Well in my tests, I had to do a 6 minute walk. It was back and forth down a hallway at St Lukes. I knew to turn back when I walked up to the little orange cone. I got to sit in the PFT booth and had several tests run there as well.
Evidently my O2 stats dropped from 95 to 86. Not good. Seems they have discovered my lungs have limited capacity. Possibly a sort of blockage. I am going to have a CT of my chest. Dr Lewis is referring me to a pulmonologist. Doctor is prescribing Albuterol inhalers. And oxygen to be delivered by Norco. And I am to got to St Lukes to have an echo cardiogram done.
This would explain my getting woozy while working the yard. And how freaking tired I am after vacuuming or making dinner. This is of course combined with dehydration just kicks my butt.
God dammit. The oxygen is for only those times I am active, it will be portable. Not my idea of a good time.
Tomorrow I am driving up the canyon to take naps and play on electronic devices with mom. It will be a lovely lazy day with interruptions by Zach. such a goofball.
This week I drove all over Emmett gathering the free newspapers someone leaves in all the metal boxes. These boxes are found at gas stations, the co-op, and various eateries. I am taking a huge pile to mom. No I didn’t just take one. I never saw a sign what said I had to. So there. Listen I went to newspaper office to see if they had any old newspaper? They are closed to due to stupid covid. The last time I went I got a huge shopping cart piled high that filled the back of my little car. Maybe I will call them and set up a meeting.
Hey there, how are you doing? Me, enduring my usual autumn migraines. Thankfully I have little round white pills to combat these sessions. Better living through chemistry I say. Oh yes just one more medication in my arsenal of healthcare. Nope the only side effect from this pill? It makes the migraine go away.
I received a couple of sports bras from Royce this summer. She was in the midst of a cleaning fit and it was in one of several boxes she shipped to me. Little surprises about once a month. Well I decided to put one on and it fit loosely so I threw a top on and looked in the mirror. hmm I was now sporting a unaboob look. Probably be better if I was wearing a tighter one, I don’t know. Could be the new look. I wouldn’t know about that either as I don’t go around checking out people’s chests. You might have noticed that I included the male species. Some of them could benefit with a little firm foundation. At any rate, this was not a good look on me.
I continue my quest for a tidy yard. I got most of invisible neighbor’s leaves raked up and taken away. But I still need to detail the west side of my yard. I took the sails down after marking them at each ring as to what post or wall mount they belonged. I folded them not unlike a fitted sheet folded by a teenager and crammed them on a shelf in the shed. I think once I get back from picking up my grocery order, I will hit the wood pile and split up a bunch of wood.
I ordered all kinds of interesting frozen vegetables to eat during my cleanse. It basically won’t be any different than what I eat on any given Tuesday. I just get new recipes.
I had my pulmonary function test a couple weeks back and now I am to go in to the doctor for results. I really enjoyed the PFT because the tech was very nice to chat with. He told me he was in ICU giving breathing treatments to a grumpy man who complained non stop. (if he can talk, he can breath but I digress) The old man bitched about what a crappy hospital, the food was horrible and he rarely saw any staff. Continued on that it wasn’t his fault the place was overcrowded. And the tech stopped what he was doing and told him, well actually it is. If you had gotten vaccinated, you would not be in here. So yes it is your fault. I loved this. Shut him down without another squeak from then on.
I have a suggestion for a new name for the bunch who are trumpers. I would like to rename them all the idiocracy party. I love that movie and sadly I see so many things in the movie that is comparable to what is happening now. But there is probably a license on the name, so lets just whisper it. And one other thing, what the hell is Let’s Go Brandon? All I know it was started by a bunch of red necks and really that is all a person really needs to know. nuff said.
My hair continues to grow and I was told once by my hair stylist that it is not a good look on me. I haven’t seen her since the pandemic started, so I believe she was mistaken. I like the gray streaks and wish it was more gray. silly girl. Maybe she said that so she could charge an exorbitant fee. See I don’t have a spare 60 some bucks just laying around. No I need to squander that on stuff on Amazon. Today I am going to looking at fire extinguishers. I have two that have been empty for several years. Must be replaced.
Ok now a story of my chimney sweep. I hired his crew last year and they did a spectacular job. This year I went on their website and called leaving a message. I said I would like to have them come out again. I get a text that says, please text as this is a home phone. ??? Okay so I did. silence…but this is okay. For a little while. Several weeks I get a text. Oh we took care of your chimney last year? YESSSSS!! silence. A week later I said I would it done on a Wednesday early afternoon giving him a choice of which Wednesday. One last text so far, Wednesday? For the love of god! Then nothing. I hope skipping a sweep will be okay.
People! that seems to be the normal drill for trying to hire someone to come over and do a simple fucking job!!! I tried to hire a handy man to come finish putting up my sails. The guy just kept telling me all the stuff he would need to do to make it look decent. And He would get back with me next week, he did not indicate which week. jerk. There was an issue with an electrical plug-in in Justin’s room (he overloaded it). And I called in an a electrician who replaced the plug along with several others. Then the next week the microwave starting blowing a fuse. The appliance guy checked out the microwave said there was nothing wrong with the appliance, so I called the electrician again. Actually I called him several times, spoke to him. Was told I was on the top of his work list and he would?? Contact me next week. Its okay. I understand people are tired and don’t want to work and we are getting by with a GFR plug for the Microwave. assholes!
Okay, I need to sign off, look for extinguishers and then get back to playing Junes’ Journey on facebook. I love you. Drink your water.
