Still on the mend

My wonderful Dr. sure knew what he was talking about when he told me to NOT return to work until after I see him tomorrow. I am better in many ways but not up to par....yet! I say yet that way because I know my body and that I am well on my way to getting back to my normal retarded self.

I am excited about something that some ppl may find silly. I have finally found the perfect recliner to finally replace my Archie Bunker recliner and you know what? I'm gonna buy it! It also rocks (one guess who I'll be rocking), It also has a built in vibrator AND heating pad. My old recliner is falling apart! Proof positive is on the large bruise on my left thumb where it was smashed when I was trying to put the (broken) foot rest down the day before yesterday.

Well, I must get off of here and pay some bills so see ya' as Dorcas (an old friend) used to say.

A Very Productive Day

Indeed it was. Stephanie went to a local 'discount' furniture for a crib, baby mattress and a new bed for my guest room. We found just what we both loved including a really cool wrought iron frame (headboard and foot board). The problem was that the salesman that helped us was a condescending ass. Now I have to tell you that I have mellowed out since my 20's when my brother used to say that I could clear the Astrodome in Houston. Or the time when a guy cut me off on West Alabama St (I think it was that street)and I chased him in my Toronto hanging out of the drivers window and being quite the potty mouth. But I have to say that even at 54yrs old don't treat me that way.

I did try to be nice and patient and talk in a nice but firm voice. It didn't work so I told him that the 'deal' he had given me of $1100 was too much. I offered him $1000 and he said he couldn't go any lower. I asked to talk to his boss who was conveniently in a meeting. Oh yea right. I told the arrogant salesman that I thought it was pretty sad that his boss wouldn't take the time to speak directly to a customer who was ready to make a rather large purchase. So I did what any decent person would do............turned on my heel and marched out of the door.

Next stop was Walmart where we found almost the identical crib and a good Sealy baby mattress for a LOT less. In fact at least $150 less. HA HA HA HA!!!!!!! It wouldn't fit in the Camry so we ran home, switched vehicles to my neato truck and brought it home. It took everything in me to NOT drive to the furniture place, call the salesman out and say "nah nah na nah nah"!!!!!!

Oh yes my friends...........the girl still has it.

Leaning on the positive

That is what I am trying to do these days. I am so tired of the negative in my life the past few days, with being sick and all. So with that said I have a list of good things in my life.

I am grateful for:

My daughter

My sober son

My precious grandson Cameron, soon to be born (8 weeks!!!!!)

My wonderful girls Sophie and Pattykins

My home

The love that embraces my home

My wonderful doctor and his staff

To be gainfully employed at a job that I love

My Sleep Number bed

Clean sheets

My Independence

My laptop that I have come to love

To live in a free country

My faith in God

To have a pantry full of food along with a deep freezer full
