Specifically cell phones. Does your phone also act as a computer or are you like me and have an outdated one? I can barely text with my phone, but that is okay for now. If and when I decide to upgrade my phone service with other capabilities, I will have to check out all the iphone accessories. I may want to add several accessories after I determine which will be the best for me. I especially like the armband. I may have to upgrade just so I can purchase it.
The Doctor called yesterday with the results from the barium swallowing test that was done last Thursday. No problem was found with my swallowing. I knew that nothing of that nature would be found. I told him during the OV that I had no problem swallowing, only a choking sensation, pressure, as if someone was choking me. I guess it was better to be safe than sorry.
He did say the small mass (not a tumor) in my throat was very small, no larger than a pea. He failed to tell me what type pea. Dixie Lee peas are kinda small compared to the Red Ripper. lol
The test did show that I have a hiatal hernia, but I do not know if it is the sliding or para-esophageal. I could call and ask, but right now I am not that concerned about it.
So very many times there is almost nothing to watch on TV. Either reruns or something that is gloom and doom or murders or even worse. Very rarely are there any wholesome family movies to watch. Even one company that always only produced G rated films now has PG or PG-13. This is very discouraging when trying to find movies for preschoolers to watch.
There is hope. Just the other day I saw a link to Christian videos. If you are having the same problem I am, I am thinking this may be the answer for us.
I have a busy day and it is already 11:15. I need to vacuum the cabinet under the sink as DH replaced the shelf and there is small bits of wood and wood dust under there. I also need to put cabinet liner on it and put things back that are suppose to be there.
I have to go to the post office (really do not want to do this).
I need to go to Wal-mart for a stacking shelf to go in the bottom of the microwave cart. I may not do this today.
I really, really need to work in that bedroom so that we can do more redecorating in the house after the kitchen is finished. I also need to swifter the kitchen floor.
Speaking of the kitchen, it is almost finished item wise but not time wise. Need to finish the ceiling molding, do the floor molding and put down new formica on the counters.
Right now, I am going to get started on what I have to do which also includes writing another short post.
I will also prepare supper.
This post almost looks like I have I itis.
How can no electricity cost a little over $1100.00??!! I will tell you.
We had strong winds here last Wednesday night and sometime during the night the accessory pole by the house that connects electricity from the major pole by the street to our house broke off at the ground.
On my way to the hospital for testing Thursday morning, as I go by the house I look in that direction looking for my dog (he usually follows from one side of the house to the other), I see the pole laying across the fence. I call DH to let him know and ask if I should go back home and handle the situation or go on for my test. He says continue on my way he will handle it. I continue on, but call DD#1 to call the power company to come cut off the power.
Now for the expense: DH leaves work at 9:30am, missing 7 hours of work. He is suppose to work on Friday but still no power, so he misses 10 hours overtime. The electrician gave us a break on his labor chargers, but with supplies and labor, his bill was almost $575.00. We have to eat out Thursday night, all meals on Friday and Saturday night. We had to eat out Saturday night because I had planned left- overs but when I took them from the fridge, they were spoiled.
So there you have it folks—-No electricity for 2 days and the bill is $1100.00 plus.
However there is a good side to this. The weather Thursday and Friday was very nice. Late Spring Days–no need for even a jacket during the middle of the day say from about 10 until 4. Also, Thursday nite was warm so we did not even need heat.
Some people just love to travel, going to a different place each vacation. That lifestyle is just not for me. My brother and his wife have been to many different places–Japan, Mexico, England, St Thomas–and will be going to the Dominican Republic in March. I wonder if they have ever considered Machu Picchu travel. This may even be a destination of consideration in the near future.
I am so excited about the way the transformation of my kitchen is going. When finished, it will not even resemble the kitchen I have used for 28+ years except for the location of the appliances and cabinets.
I will show all of the before and after pics when it is finished. I can’t seem to stop myself from showing you just a little of what is changing. DH and DD#2′ s husband and she worked very hard yesterday to make this change. I really like the new flooring!!.
Before:
After:
This is just a peek at what has been done.
I really like the colors in this flooring and next on the agenda is to make a small foyer in the living room using this same flooring. We may use the same pattern in the bathrooms when we do them. I do not know want too much of the same thing, so we may change it. I just don’t know yet. After the foyer is done, we will concentrate on the dining room, painting those dark panel walls, taking up the carpet and installing laminate wood flooring.
Had I known then what I know now–’what a difference a good education makes’, I may possibly be wearing different shoes. My parents wanted me to continue my education after high school but I insisted I go to work. If I had even taken a few medical coding training courses, and pursued a career in that direction, I would not have worked so physically hard during my working career. Or if I had stayed with my first job, telephone operator, I would have had to work the brain but not the body.
I am still looking for items to use in the ‘apple’ theme that I have chosen to use in the kitchen. I have ordered some items and been pleased with them. I am wanting a paper towel holder that can be attached to the wall but have only found a few. I am almost afraid to order one of them, thinking it may not match the other apples. I have also seen a set of magnets, but they are almost identical, so I probably would not be satisfied with those either.
I have found a lot of ‘apple’ things that I would like to have from the business that I originally ordered. Like everything else I have done to redecorate, getting those items will cost money and I refuse to charge it.
My cousin has told me about a business, maybe an hour away, that has lots of apple decor. When I can make the trip, she is to go with me as I have never heard of the place. I may do this Friday.
In reality, I guess I really do not know what “hungry” is. I know that I would like to eat now. Even tho it is lunch time, I am thinking that I would like oatmeal. It is cold to me, only 33 degrees, much warmer inside but you know ‘mind over body’. Oatmeal is always good, but especially on a cold day.
The big issue is what to prepare for supper. I already have stew beef cooked but fried chicken put back in gravy sounds delicious with rice and green butter beans. Oh well, depends on how the day goes.
