Saturday and Decorating the Church

 I slept pretty well last night and was up before 6:00, dressed and made my bed and got myself ready for the day

 I opened the front door to two cats this morning and prepared them a dish of both wet and dry cat food. Soon I had four there so I made up two more dishes. There was the male Blondie, the white cat, the small blond cat and the grey one They are all eating. The only one not there is the all black cat.  

I did catch "the weather on the 8's" too. And I fixed myself some leftover coffee cake. 

Today is to be 50 degrees and  cloudy, tomorrow is to be 56 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 56 degrees and sunny Tuesday is to be 60 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is to be 61 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 68 degrees and mostly sunny and Friday is to be 65 degrees and mostly cloudy. No rain in this weeks forecast unless something changes.

I will go drink my Chai Latte now and save this blog. 

I need to be at the church at 9:00AM to help decorate.. It's 6:12AM now.

Friday and More Books

I slept pretty well last night. and was up at 5:00AM, made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day.

I made my Chai Latte and when I opened the front door, Blondie was there waiting for his breakfast. I fixed it for him and put a couple of extra dishes of food out for the other cats. Blondie ate and the little grey cat joined him and it/she ate too. I drank my Chai Latte and caught "the weather on the 8's". 

Today is to be 45 degrees and cloudy, Saturday is to be 53 degrees and partly cloudy. (It's also my 88th birthday). Sunday is to be 58 degrees and mostly sunny, Monday is to be 57 degrees and mostly sunny, Tuesday is to be 59 degrees and  sunny, Wednesday is to be 60 degrees and sunny, and Thursday is to be 68 degrees and mostly sunny. No rain in the next week's forecast.  It did rain yesterday evening and last night. 

I also had my breakfast bar this morning. That gives me something in my stomach to begin the day.

More Later... 

I started another book from my own collection of books and won't get a couple more from our Caney library until I finish it.

I also called Cox Complete Care about a suspicious e-mail supposed from Cox. I learned it was a scam and deleted. Thank goodness I have Cox Complete Care.

Thursday and a Better Night's Sleep

 I slept somewhat better last night but was up too early anyhow. I checked for the cats but they were not out there yet. I do have their food ready to put out...as soon as they come.

In the meantime, I did catch "the  weather on the 8's" and I had my Chai Latte.

Today is to be 55 degrees and PM rain, Friday is to be 45 degrees and cloudy, Saturday is to be  55 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday is to be 56 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 57 degrees and sunny, Tuesday is to be 61 degrees and sunny and Wednesday is to be 60 degrees and sunny. It looks like today is the only chance of rain.

More Later..I will go check on the cats again.

It was 6:45AM before Blondie showed up for his breakfast...that's late for him and there are four more cats out there somewhere. I haven't seen any more of them yet.

Blondie finished eating and left and the grey cat is out there now.I still need to see the black and white one. the small yellow one and the white one. 

More Even Later

The little black and white cat finally came and ate too.

I read all afternoon until I finished the second book. Then I ate a half dozen of those small leftover cookies from the Bunco desserts.

I took my bath at 6:30PM and then will work on this blog awhile before I go to bed.

Wednesday and Hair Appointment

I slept fairly well last night. I am out of water so I had to open some juice to take my meds.  I will go by Walmart in Coffeyville this morning after my hair appointment and buy some grape flavored water. I will also need to get gas. I will call Janet at the senior center to find out if we are having Bunco or game day today. I believe they suspended both until after the first of the year.

Today is my younger son's, Scott's, birthday. I sent him a card but it may not have got there in time. The mail is so unpredictable any more.

He is 63 years old. Keith, my older son, is 68 years old and Leslie is 66 years old. My children are all senior citizens. But they are all three youthful. It's 5:27AM now. I want to go check out "the weather on the 8's" and the cat situation. So more later..

I caught the weather and two cats..both blond ones. 

Today is supposed to be 60 degrees and partly cloudy, tomorrow is supposed to be  55 degrees and PM rain, Friday is supposed to be 45 degrees and partly cloudy, Saturday is supposed to be 56 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday is supposed to be  55 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is supposed to be 55 degrees and sunny, and Tuesday is supposed to be 57 degrees and mostly sunny. Only one day of rain in the forecast and that's Thursday.

More Later...I want to eat some coffeecake. 

I had my coffeecake and read awhile but left for my hair appointment a little early. When I got to Coffeyville I dropped by the bank to get my weekly $50.00 but once again their ATM machine was not working. I talked to them about it and they told me there was an ATM machine in the police department building. It is right in the front lobby of that building. I stopped in there and withdrew money for the week.

Then I went on to my hair appointment. First I stopped at Sonic and got my weekly cherry limeade slush. Toni also bought me a birthday gift and she also did my hair for free. The gift was a candle and some body lotion. That was very good of her! 

I went out to Woodshed and bought gas. Then I went out to Walmart and bought two cartons of flavored water.

Then I read this afternoon. The new blood pressure monitor came today and once again it didn't read correctly. It said my blood pressure was 206/96. Once again it was wrong. This new one was wrong too. The pharmacist checked it with his. It said my blood pressure was 113/61. This is just "another" Wal Mart blood pressure cuff. I went out to Dollar General and bought more new batteries. That didn't change anything.  I ordered a new blood pressure cuff from the Caney Pharmacist. They will call me when it comes in.

I took my bath at 7:00PM and will read until I get really sleepy. Then I will go on to bed.

I stopped at our Sonic here in Caney and bought a child's wacky pack (three chicken strips and french fries and a tiny coke). That cost me $2.18. It is very good and very cheap. And only on Wednesdays. I usually give a tip for the delivery. 

Tomorrow I will check with Sally and ask her if she wants to go to lunch with me at Copan.  She usually does. But I won't know until I ask her.

Tomorrow we are supposed to have rain. We will see...

 

Tuesday and Laundry

I slept poorly again last night and was up halfway through the night. I have been reading. 

When I opened the front door Blondie was there waiting for his breakfast. Soon the little grey cat also came to eat.

I caught "the weather on the 8's" too.  Today is to be 54 degrees and partly cloudy,  Wednesday is to be 60 degrees and partly cloudy, Thursday is to be 54 degrees and PM rain, Friday is to be 47 degrees and cloudy, Saturday is to be 54 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday is to be 57 degrees and mostly sunny, and Monday is to be 56 degrees and mostly sunny. That's the week and only one day of possible rain. That day is Thursday.

I will do laundry today ..so..

More Later.. 

I got the laundry done and went out to Dollar General and bought more cat food and bubble bath too.  I will have that for my bath this evening. And Blondie will have more cat food tomorrow.

I called Sally and will pick her up at noon and we will go to the Dairy Queen in Independence and have their $7.00 lunch. That's always good.  

I am not to take cookies to the First Christian Church  in Independence today. I am to go next Tuesday....a little after 9:30AM.

I will take my bath at 7:00PM and rad until bedtime. I want to finish this book.

More Later... 

Monday and Better Sleep

I slept somewhat better last night. Of course I took my last sleeping pill too. I was up closer to 5:00AM this morning. I feel more rested too.

I dressed, made my bed and got myself ready for the day. I really don't have a plan for the day. I still have one book to read, Perhaps I will do that. There is still some snow on the ground too...not a lot but enough to keep me in.  I may walk up to the post office when they open at 8:00AM. I have some letters to mail. I wrote those who weren't at church yesterday. I didn't go either because of the snow and slick roads. So I couldn't include a bulletin.

Scott called me yesterday and we talked quite awhile. It had been awhile. We made up for it! 

I opened the front door to a hungry Blondie and even his grey colored friend.  They both ate and left. I left the bowl and food out there for the black cat and the small yellow cat and the snow white one. Perhaps they will eat it later today.

I caught "the weather on the 8's" too. Today is to be 51 degrees and sunny, tomorrow is to be 55 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is to be 59 degrees and mostly sunny, Thursday is to be 58 degrees and PM light rain, Friday is to be 45 degrees and cloudy, Saturday is to be 56 degrees and partly cloudy, and Sunday is to be 57 degrees and AM showers. Perhaps a couple of days of rain if we're lucky!

More Later... I had a tire going down again. This one had a staple in it...a large one. It was another $15.00. Thank goodness I had the money.

Then I texted Esther again. She wants me to text her earlier...about 6:30AM or so. She says she puts her phone on silence and then checks it when she wakes up.

She asked me what I would do if they had to stop helping me. .I am thinking Keith is thinking of retiring one of these days. I told her I wasn't sure what I would do.  For one thing, I would have to work out paying my own rent. They have been paying it for at least a year. That also would mean I would have to stop paying my tithes and I sure don't want to do that. I might just have to break down and move in with John and Leslie. I wouldn't have my utilities to pay here at the apartment either. I would want to give them something though if I needed to do that. Esther said she would give me notice if they had to stop paying my rent so I would have some time to make a plan.

I suppose I could move into Sycamore Landing in Coffeyville..The rent there depends on income (and I could have a pet).. Also I would be able to get rid of my daybed and trundle and have just one bedroom.  I will worry about that when the time comes. I could donate my books and bookcases to the library.

I went to Independence this noon and had their $7.00 plus tax special with three pieces of chicken for lunch.  That's a real bargain. It comes with a drink and french fries and even a dessert.

More Later...

I read most of the afternoon and then at 7:25PM I took my bath. I will read until I get sleepy. If I do that, maybe I can sleep better.

I read until 9:11PM and then got sleepy enough to get to sleep. I hope I can stay asleep. That's the problem. 

Maybe more later...Maybe more tomorrow.

 

Sunday and Snow

I slept very poorly last night and was up several times in the night. I had taken Melatonin but couldn't stay asleep.

I finally got up at 5:45AM. When I opened the front door, Blondie was out there waiting for his breakfast. I fed him and he ate pretty fast and left. There is snow and ice on the ground. I really don't want to drive in this stuff. I asked Leslie if they had snow and she said "very little". I told her I dreaded driving in this mess and she suggested I stay home and safe.

I did catch "the weather on the 8's" . Today is to be 44 degrees and sunny, Monday is to be 50 degrees and partly cloudy,Tuesday is to be 57 degrees and mostly sunny, Thursday is to be 56 degrees and PM light rain, Friday is to be 49 degrees and cloudy, and Saturday is to be 56 degrees and PM showers. Much of the rain has been taken out of the forecast. Just two days left....Thursday and Saturday.

More Later.

I read all morning until 12:43 PM. I finished the first book I got at the Caney library yesterday. I will take it up and drop it in the book drop at the library later.

And I did that. I also mailed off Scott's birthday card. His birthday is  Wednesday. He will be 63 years old. Leslie is 66 years old and Keith is 68 years old.
