Face It Was Pretty Bad

Last post I wrote and I can see why certain people and even my self didn't understood what I posted.

As many of you know I'm a pagan and I practice as a eclectic pagan. It a little late but we're celebrating our Summer Solstice and to much been happen with our members. So this cup coming weekend we will celebrate it.
Looks like August we will having no celebration. And I'm going to try to write up ritual for our Mabon celebration.

Possible Liz might found a place. A small two bedroom apartment a little over aloud amount for her to housing voucher.
Our area won't pay of $559 for a one bedroom. But since one bedroom places are almost impossible to fine. A single person can get a two bedroom for the same price as one.
Since her income is $755 a month she will be paying I believe is $250 and the state will pay the rest up to $559, and one things in budget for the $559 is all ulites going for this price.
And they say it at market value. Gee I wonder those who figure our goverment social progam out which planet they came from.
It sure would be nice if she found a better place.
Her land lord is actual a slum lord...The septic system was backed up at one time. And she had to bucket it out.
If I was paying rent and there would be no way I would take a bucket and clean out a septic tank.

This morning before I went to work. Murphy planted a short roll of carrots in garden. I looked what my average would of been for eating, I was trying for 1,822 daily average and I've been act 1,840 and the week isn't over. Maybe once the week is over and I would like to staple in at 1,800
Dasiy is still need some teeth work done and if you would like to donate there a link on the right hand side of blog called "Daisy Teeth Cleaning"
I been watch the first star trek with Capt Kirk and the next one Capt Picard.

Out Of Thin Air

I know it been a little bit since I post. And hubby and I are spilting a ZIMA. But there been a nice breeze he and I got steps put on the deck. Only one opps but it was fixable.
Not sure exactly where we're are next so called project will be.

We been harvesting strawberries. Murphy did up about 9 pints of freezer jam. And I will be taking strawberry shortcake to be-lated summer solitice celebration this up coming weekend.

This evening we're having a finely planning meeting for this event. I would guess there should be 10 to 20 there.
There people who think we eat people children and hump (have sex) with everyone and object. 99.7% lives pretty darn boring lives. Get up in morning...do life...and...go to bed.
Other then deck steps. Swept, vacumed, laundry, and clean out car.

I move on to making anther tarot card, QUEEN SWORDS. I was suprise this one went as quickly and easy as it did.
This is first one that I had to draw a person.

But I still need to add  tool box and box

A storm is coming in and I'm going to watch it...Coffee is on

Let Toss Out The Corn and Rice

I want to eat a balance meal and keep my calorie count right around 1,822 and I was under my calorie intake was 1,664
Once I stable and learn to eat a balance meal on average of 1,800 calories. There other place I need to focus on.
This morning before it got to hot I did mange to get in a short walk.

I made up my weekly plan in my bullet journal and if I pulled it out. I can see where it would benefit me and my life would be more productive.

I'm tired and weigh in tomorrow

No One Realy Messes Up Totally

Its been some what hard Thursday and Friday at work. I was thankful to the beer god/dess. So my eating sort of went out the door. Well there been a lot bigger bumps along the way. This time I didn't break the so called wheel, hopeful I'm back on tract.

Friday I took both my clients to Sandpoint to the Library and a few yard sale down there. The last stop I drop Regis was at the Sandpoint Safeway...And how much of this comes from hallucinations, but usual there some truth in it....I drop of Regis at Safeway and he want to get some Capt Crunch Cereal and Liz and I was going to stop in at yard sale a road down from Safeway, behind.
The odds was that Regis would be done before us. So I told him go and set at the table out side and wait.
Well he wasn't at the table and I knew he was pretty much broke..As we came back from the yard sale he wasn't at the tables.
Liz noticed him over in parking lot waving his can, and yelling something. So we came up beside him and told him to get the hell into the rig.
After we got him settle down. And ask him what going on.
Regis was smoking it was his cigar, cigarette, or even pot. And Idaho pot is complete illegal. So unknown product he was smoking on.
Some one made a crude remark about the smell. And if someone was there or not. Your guess is good as mine.
Well words was exchange. The last remark as I understand they told him "GO TO HELL" and it sit him off. And he was going to take his cane and smash there vehicle window in.
Now if someone tells me to go to hell...My respond is "WE WILL HAVE THE FIRST DANCE TOGETHER IN HELL" but the other day I think I might even heard a better one...THERE A RESTRAINING ORDER ON ME and I CAN'T GET BACK IN"
The only truth I know he was in Safeway. The part who knows.

I once again start up making my own set of Tarot cards. I need to finish up the 8 of cups which represents sacrifice. I want to put in a sew machine in this card.
Then I will color it in and draw anther one.
Yesterday I went to our belated SUMMER SOLSTICE celebration planning meeting down in Courd"Alene.

I might need to seek legal advice. I receive a letter from the company I work for. I'm apprehend about sign in it. The reason is I'm wondering if I every got hurt on the job that they could use it in against me if I every got hurt on the job.
Close to year ago I was to one of there semi annual meeting. One of the supervisor made the statement that they carry liability insurance but they don't need to carry workman comp insurance, and be careful on the job.
Which I don't know if it true or not.
See the company is ran as a profit sharing I bought in to company for $10.
Then some time ago my friend LaWalla and I was doing washing window. LaWalla was doing the out side and I was doing the inside. She was up a chair slip and hit her head on the ground and developed a knot. So I took over to our local emergency room.
As we was checking her in. She fill out the papers for injury on the job. She explain to them it ran as self employed company. That they didn't take out taxes. The admit person ask if it part of 1099. I said no but we get I believe it K1 something. She said they have to have workman comp.
So I dug in my purse and gave them the company toll free phone # and admit person called the company and said we have one of your employee "LaWalla" that been hurt on the job, and wondering who is your carrier for workman comp. They act like the never heard of her.
She went back into the exam room and I did small errand and picked he up in about half hour or so.
Good news everything worked out...But I believe her medicare paid the bill and not workman comp.
So there some slightly shady things about this company.

Above I said I went to our planning meeting the lady I rode down she ask me how Bart was doing and that time it been a while since I talk to him.
I talk to Bart a little while ago and toward the end of July he going to Seattle there a major university that more or less specialize in Brain things.
One of my nephew had to go there.
Well I sure don't want my entire conversation to my son be about his tumor. I didn't bring anything about it up. I want to hear about how things going. I was sure glad to hear they was planning to go on a hike around Round Lake just south of Sandpoint, near Sagle.
The lady I wrote down that her son might be spending some time in prison and she says it can be difficult to have conversation with him.
I also find it difficult at also to have a conversation with my son, when the tumor is brought up.
Statement time...They got to be more to conversation then his tumor.

I need to figure out what I'm doing for next week. I don't believe much is going on as for an appointment with my clients. I know I want to get the copy of my taxes send off to the company and I can get my other part of my bonus.
Shouldn't take them long to send me the check and I'll then might go and get me a lap top, unless I get this one fix.
Well I'm still seeking donation for Daisy and there a link on right hand side "Dasiy Teeth Cleaning" Maybe later on I will have the chance to attach the other area of white on my crochet rag rug.

Sunshine As Medicine

I wonder how the entire thing about vitamin D works, SUNSHINE VITAMIN. As many of you know I do fit day and I seem low on the vitamin and since one can't eat sunshine and then how is this vitamin measured.
I get outside quite a bit. But then on the other side one doesn't need to damage one skin.

Notice our neighbors to the south of east found place in the town of Bonners Ferry, Up in Marx subdivision.
Good neighbors sorry to see them go. I like soaking up the sun but since they had small children I couldn't total sunbath in my birthday suit.
Until someone moves into the place. I can sit quietly in private in the nude and sock up sunshine.
The trees between the two places don't cover everything.

The old neighbor were nice enough to give us there old firewood what they used in there fireplace. roughly a half of cord of larch and red fir mixed.
We were planning on purchasing a cord of firewood. Still am, which will then give us one and half cords. The half cord is worth about $80 to $125.

Not quite to 1,800 calories I just don't see what I'll be going under that for a while. There a lot of info out there on how much CALORIE we need. I've always thought the ideal of 12 -13 calorie of body weight to loose. 14-15 calorie to maintain your weight, and gain weight one should eat 18 - 19 calorie per pound.
It also depends on how active you are. On fit day I keep track of my nutritional value, and see where I need to improve on.

Happy Summer everyone...Coffee is on

What Effect Us

Weigh in at our local T.O.P.S meeting and only one person lost. I stay the same. Finely I mange to maintain my calorie count last week at 1,847. It took me 3 weeks and I don't know why it took me that long.
Now this up coming week my calorie count 1,822.
Today discussion topic was....Question time...What would you tell your 10 year self?...my answer your ok and your doing fine.
It was also brought up. Why certain thing in our lives effect us and other things don't.
Not going into great detail and I know I wrote about getting into trouble at school for something I didn't do. It uncomfortable for me to come in first. And the topic of wills. When I have time I will blog about wills.

The photos I've done last few times it been that I found them off the net. It's been since Feb since I've gotten anything off my camera.

I haven't yet got the hang of using a BULLET JOURNAL. We all have certain goals in our lives. One of the reason I'm not loosing weight is lack of water and movement.
So one of my goals is to do 3 chores in the morning and 2 in the evening before I go to work.
Most of my time even with my job most of my hours in under supervision.

The other day I wash up the fabric I bought some time ago for my grand daughter Emilia. And my son father day gifts is going to be a little late. Because of how my pay day fell.
Both boys I got them a crayola kit for under $10 and those balsam wood planes. When the boys was young I would put them in there sock and they were around $1.00 each.
The price of them now is just under $2.50
Since Sawyer wife Betty makes DOGIE SCARF I put in some fabric. Then the place I got the balsam wood planes, LARSON in Bonners Ferry. I also got my grand daughter a little outfit and it was mark down 25%.

Murphy got a small harvest off our strawberry patch. Picked u chair for Regis at the thrift store.

There Many Types Of Communcation

Since today is Fathers Day. In past our fore fathers communcate in so many ways. Such as actual talking to anther being. But there been communication devices since way back when. Beating a drum or even sending a smoke signals.

TELEGRAPHY is one of communicating. Reminds me of texing or twitter. One might send a tex or a gram...Bst Dad in wld, luv u lot.

A hand written letter for years was a way of communicating. People correspond during war, when family and friends was far apart. One couldn't get vehicle or some type of transport. Only way one got around is riding a horse or having the horse pull the cart.

I'm one who still have pen pals and this some what the letter I will be sending..

June 19, 2017

Cloudy.

Dear Abby

So this weekend I'm writing cards and letters to my pen pals. Plus other not exciting things like dishes, laundry and such.

Got the veggie garden in. Since I work a 30 hour week. I don't have much to do with it. Murphy handles 98% of the garden.

This morning he brought in some fresh beet greens

It would be good with dinner.

Notice the strawberries are turning red and plenty of blossom our on the raspberries.

So both boys are doing fine. Bart who had the tumor remove is back to work and talk to different oncologist. Both agree on light chemo. They don't agree when to start it.

Since this type of tumor is slow growing type, but it rare and only 4% of population gets it. I have trouble announcing it and let lone spell it.

There three good thing going for him. He young, healthy, and it slow growing.

Now for Sawyer and Betty there doing fine. At this point there trying to figure out what color to paint the outside of there house. It's best for me to stay out of it.

Since adopting is expensive. Actual apply for and older child. Most states and the program called “A Forever Home” but some places might call it something else.

What I understand there a lot of paper work. Seen a few of question. I would have trouble answering them.

But there next step they take a parenting course in August.

Not sure what happen after that.

Still working 30 hour week. My client Regis is having a hip replacement in July. Then my hours will increase. But by how much, I'm clueless. I never figure out the hours why people who are in horrible shape gets little hours. Then they're those who I think is in better shape them me, gets all types of hours.

My other client Liz is dealing with difficult about her son Paul. It would take some time to explain everything. But at present time he in jail for trying to choke his girl friend.

He got quite the record. Mostly because of drinking.

The sad thing he need medication for that he hears

A couple of times he mention that he can hear people think.

So I wrote a letter, and gave it to his mom so she can give it to his lawyer. Yes he needs to be responsible for his action and choices. But he needs help.

Most resent craft project I've been working on is a crochet rag rug but at the moment I been cutting and putting strips together. This one being done red, white, and blue.

I'm giving it to Liz for Christmas. Right now I'm trying to finish up project I got going.

This afternoon my hubby Murphy and I went to a memorial service of our friend Debbie, she wasn't quite 56 years old.

She died of cancer, and she did give it a good fight.

Not much more to say. Anyhow you put in the coolest stuff in your letters.

Pen pal

Write when you can

Peppy.

On star trek it amazing how things record...LOG...but then there those fancy computer that the crew talk to.

Even I talk to my lap top. Confession time...At time I will say please and thank you. Which is not necessary.

Question time...how do you think we will be keeping records/documents and communicating in the future?

Since There No Photos Yet

Three priest was sitting at the pearly gate awaiting to talk to St Peter, and to see if they can get into heaven.

So after a long wait it was then the priests turn.

St Peter ask the first priest have you every fooled around?

#1 priest reply...”Never” so he got a new Jaguar to drive around, in heaven.

Then it came to #2 priest...same question have you every fooled around?

#2 priest shyly reply...Once I did it was my senior prom and things just got of hand. But I felt so bad and never did it again.

So St Peter told him...It was only once and I'm going to let you have a 5 year old Chevrolet to drive in heaven.

Now # 3 priest was to be interview

St Peter ask same question..”Have you every fooled around” to #3 priest.

Proudly the #3 priest said...”Hell yes I got all I could and even some time two or three times. Then on holly days I even diddle all the married woman of parish.

So St Peter said to #3 priest..That not very becoming for a priest, since your honest. I'll let you in and you get a tricycle to ride around heaven in.

So all three priest was in heaven...And the #3 priest was on a cloud rolling round laughing.

#1 priest drove by and roll down the window of his Jag and ask the #3 priest..What are laughing at?...His reply was the pope just past me on pogo stick.  

Eliminate That Doesn't Work

I've been trying to figure out why I can't pull any photo off my xD card. And couple of comment suggest it might be my xD so I took my card down to our local photo place, "Photo Plus"
So I plug in my card and it worked fine. I didn't just plug it in. I had two photos printed and it cost me forty cents.

Question time...Have you every post a something and thought I should blog about that? Mine right now would be about people getting a free ride or mooching.

I thought it was my multi reader and I even went and got a new one. When I put it in a port there will be red light that lights up. Absolutely nothing.
I'm hoping after coffee I will get a chance to take my lap in to my niece.
The lap top isn't worth taking it to a shop. Actual it runs fine other then the photo issue. It only worth on high end, $80.

Murphy replace part of the guts to the toilet. Then I went to work. Saturday is pay day. I can take care of the finical end of life.
I was going to post how I stay with in my calorie count for last few days. That would be a flat lie. But I did make a plan to try a Smore frappuccino at Starbucks. I've pretty much stay with in my calorie count. Planning meals has help.
Confession time....If I didn't have the frappuccino I would be slightly under my 1847. My choice of having a frappuccino wasn't by emotions.
Finish up the red part of Liz crochet rag rug. Next section of rug will be white. Looks like I will have to find more white fabric. Usual sheets from thrift store is best way to get the fabric for crochet rag rug.
Last year we had such issue with flea on all of our furry family members. This year we got handle on things.
Just spray both cat Ziggy and Abner. And first part of June treated Daisy with drops. So far so good.

Nothing Completed But Thats Ok

This morning Murphy and I went into to town and vacuumed out the car, and this point that the only tasks I finished.
Had to into the bank and get a copy of check I wrote for our safety deposit box, the safety deposit box It due the first of May and it was paid mid April and clear our checking account. So the teller couldn't figure why it didn't post.
So she going to talk to someone to see what going on. Another teller brought up late fee...Wrong it was paid before the due date. So my hubby or I will stop in Monday to see if everything is straighten out. There will be no late fee or I will getting a safety deposit box at anther bank.
I believe it will be taken care of.

I've gotten the letter written for Paul, Liz son.

My name is Peppy and I'm Paul mother Liz care giver. You get a chance to meet family and friends of your clients.
This letter is pertaining to Paul.

When Paul isn't drinking and sober he is hard working, honest, kind, responsible, giving, and he has a good sense of humor. And shown me respect.
Since I've known him for around 2 years usual he been employed.

He will go quite a while without drinking and for some unknown reason to me, he will start drinking until he blacks out.
There been two times he has mention that he can hear people think. And this statement was made when he was sober.

Paul needs help. And One thing I wouldn't say he shouldn't be responsible for his choices or action.

Could you please consider sending him to place he may get the correct diagnosis and rehab.

I have no formal training in mental heath but because of my job as a caregiver I've seen plenty of this job.

Hope this letter is taken in consideration...Sign my name.

At this point he been in front of a Judge and the only thing was establish is the amount of bail, which is $10,000.
So Friday the judge will decide is he is going to be charge as misdemeanor or felony. He was charge with fighting in front of minor child.
Not sure if the minor child mother is being charge is should be.
I'm letting his lawyer decide about the letter I wrote. But it a pity he got PUBLIC DEFENDER and they don't don't have the time to put into the cases they handle.

Don't know how many more time I'm going to stop at my niece place to see if she can look at my lap top. She hasn't home.
Not sure how many more time I'm willing to stop in. The only trouble with lap top it won't except any of my photos off my x'd card.
It far from a new lap top and not worth a whole lot.

I got a little father on my crochet rag and last night as I watching Star Trek I made anther ball of red fabric.
So later on I will crochet more of the rug.

Off to Liz tomorrow and hopeful she can get the chance to cut out strips. She want to do a crochet rag rug.
Sheets are usual one to go in making crochet rag rug. One of our thrift store close there doors for good, and I ended up buying and entire paper bag of top sheets.
So this can get her started.

Laundry two loads and still some in the hammer.
Paid my health insurance, and did the floors.
Still looking for donation for DAISY and I will match the donation up to $50.00

Took a photo of the rug I'm working on and the step project for our deck. Since it was such a nice day I took photo one looking east and west.
Gee I miss sharing photos...Coffee is on

Now What Should I Post.

This is one those time I can't think of what to post. Work went smoothly. I have the day off tommorw and I know one thing I want to do is stop by and see my niece Qunicy and see if she can figure my photo issue out.
I've been cutting and putting together strips for the crochet rag rug I been working on.
I haven't done one of these for a while....Any ideal for a topic to post about or any question?

First Step and Maybe Part of Another

Yesterday POST on my son Bart I didn't want to make it sound it hopeless, and there quite of bit favor going for him. It was caught early on, it was in safe area of the brain, and he young in good with and in good mental attitude to fight it.
There is a chance he going to Seattle because this type of tumor isn't your common tumor. Seattle is where UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON and they have a MEDICAL SCHOOL there, nothing in stone as what they may do or not.
But Thank you for all the positive energy and prayers that been coming this way. We don appreciate them.

Murphy and I worked on steps for deck. We sanded them, and painted one side and a long edge. Now there drying.
I did a little shopping and I forgot to get his pills. It not a matter of life and death. But Regis has and appointment in Sandpoint at 10:45 in the morning.

I got my first rough graft of what I'm writting to the judge done, and now working on what I called my second around.
I believe the third one I will type out.
He does need help.

Before I went shopping I swung by my niece Qunicy to see if she would have time to look at my lap top. To see why I can't get photos up.
My niece wasn't home. And her oldest said it would be best to catch her during the week.

I'm still trying to get my daily average to 1,847 calories daily intake. This week my average was 2.112.
Still my intake of vititaim E and D is a little low. But it becoming better. My daily eating goal is to take in a balance 1,800 calorie intake.
Now I just start on reds on Liz crochet rag rug.

So I Choose

It been a very long time since I did one of those crazy quiz. Question time...Do you think they have any truth to them? 
My husband enjoy the musical HAIRSPRAY
So I thought see what it would say for me...PENNY PINGLETON

I talk to my son Bart about his visit with the oncologist. Since it a slow growing tumor and actual there not sure they got it all, it might have what they feeders. Not sure if that is correct medical term.

Both oncologist more less agree on what they call light chemotherpy or low chemotherpy treatment.

Since his type of  brain tumor is rare there even considering sending him off to neuro oncologist which will be in Seattle.

I would guess it would be at University of Washington to there medical school. 

I ask him how his wife is holding up. He says she on the emotional side...Confession time...At times I am to. At time my eyes will tear up. But then I remind my self thee quite a bit positve going.

What every I experince 

In life

I hope to become

a better person

Still can't do photos. I believe my niece Qunicy can fix it. I'm willing to give pay her $20 I just don't want to take an older lap top into the shop. I believe It would cost me more then what the lap top is worth.

Murphy and I was going to start to clean off the board and stain them, for the steps to our deck. We thought it was going to rain. But we got our reguler chores done.

I clean out the rigs. Still like to get the car vacumed out.

Just start to crochet a rug out of rags. It will be Liz Christmas gift. The colors I'm doing it in is red, white, and blue. I have hunch I'll be needing more fabric for the lay I want to do.

It seem I'm having quite a bit of trouble cutting my calories count down to 1847. Had an early dinner to night and my calorie count is sitting at 2.122. 

I haven't ate after 7 in the evening for long time. I don't know why I stuggle to meet that goal. Looking back I only was under 1,847 calories and one day I was in the 1,800 range but still over.

Now I Thought I Could

Briefly tried to figure out what I need to do to re program my lap top so I post some photos. I got it up to "Universal Serial Bus Hub" and it want me other things which I couldn't figure out.
Maybe this weekend I can fine someone to help me.
But there plenty to do around here.
Murphy want to get back on the deck.

I got a few photos of my crafts I been working on. Finished up my locker hook rug which will be Bart and Molly Christmas gift.
We're having such a lovely summer...And no photos.

Work went ok. Liz is an honest person and for the last few days she been sleeping and can't seem to wake up enough.
She suffer from  few mental illness. One of them is BI POLAR and she afraid for her son Paul. He is one in jail and has his own issue, which I POST YESTERDAY
 At first she could sleep and now she crash a burn, just fall asleep.
She suffer from PTSD and she takes TRANQUILIZER I ask her if she been taking her pills correctly and she says she has.
I'm going to teach her how to make crochet rag rug, and she been looking forward in doing them.

When I'm out it some time hard to figure my calorie count and what I decide what I'm going to do with foods which I can't or don't have the time figure the calorie count is 160. I know some will be less and more.
But it away to keep me accountable for what I put in my mouth.
After dinner and we had barbecue beef ribs for dinner and I only ate 2 ribs. I mange to get in a short walk.

It Could Of Been Intirely A Different Story

My main thing was to take Regis to his doctor appointment with his orthopedic surgeon and finish setting up the surgery. But unfortunately they was running horrible behind. So we end up rescheduling his appointment.
His hip been giving him quite a bit pain and was in hope they may be able to do something prior to the operation.
But it so hard to get any type of pain pills and completely understand why. Opinion time....It seem like people is unwilling to deal with pain. I've known who will seek pain pill who is less then a 5.
Confession time...I've seek pain pill both legal and off the black market but I had be a lease at 7.5 for a lease a few days.
Pain pills does have it place but it doesn't need to a WAY OF LIFE
Then his primary doctor took week off, and I have no trouble with that. But Regis gets his medication in a weekly bubble package but we don't know if she line up any part of his meds.
So a message was left and we also called his psychiatrist and ask if he could handle his med possible for week.
It easier if one doctor handle all the meds.
Sure Regis is on morphine but he also takes meds for his mental illness which could be come a serious problem if he doesn't have them.

Usual I notice when Liz get her self in trouble she is dealing with highly stressful situation. Her son Paul I believe has some mental issues. Although I'm unqualified to diagnose them.
He will go long fine for months and then suddenly he will start binge drinking and until he blacks out and plus he drives. Been lucky he hasn't killed or maim someone.
He been arrest several times and he basically gets a slap on his wrist.
Not sure what my state of Idaho Code on domestic violence. But Paul was living with this lady and he beat her up, in front of her son.
Although they aren't married and so I'm not sure how that will play into the situation.
Liz is trying to have her drop the charges against him. She isn't.
I'm going to write the Judge a letter to be considered that he gets the help he desperately needs. I'm going basically going to ask the judge to send him some place that he get proper diagnose.
See I'm not sure what the under lying issue is.
He said several times "That he can hear people think" So I'm wonder if there possible some type of mental illness.
He needs help and prison isn't place for the mental ill. Still he needs to accountable for his actions.

It been a while since I update my info on Pay Pal and I been wanting to re-open my esty shop. But I real can't until I get my photos up.
I just recently I went and paid my Internet bill so I'm good until end of September. As I was there I ask if they still work on computers. And they don't.
I still haven't had a chance talk to my niece Quincy.
But they did give me a suggestion is to try Tech Partner. If I wasn't such a klutz on the computer I know I could do it.
Photo does pay important roll when telling one story.

Murphy is not having any real pain today. His body is pretty much shot. Bart is to see the oncologist and will call and tell us if there going to be any type of treatment.
But the way he explain to me the tumor was in a good spot if one is to have a brain tumor and could take the entire tumor.
So he is in seeing an oncologist and to see if there going to be or not be any treatment.
There plenty going for him. But still I'm little anxious
Last two days of trying to eat healthy. I went quite a bit over my calorie count. Looks like today I will be in my range.
Still trying to raise money for Daisy if you wish to give there is a link on the right hand side of blog under Things to click on..."Daisy Teeth Cleaning"...
It cool off a bit but the last few days it been hot. Rain this morning.

One thing I want to this morning was go and pay my internet service. But Regis had trouble getting up this morning, which is not normal for him. He spent the night at Liz.
So I end going to my weight lost group and ran back out there shortly after 10

I lost 1.5 pounds (0.68 Kilograms) and I was please. I'm now down to 221.50 pounds (100.47 kilograms)  actual I recall sitting a goal I belive was this past April which I weigh about 222 pounds (100.70 Kilograms) and my goal by July was to get down 200 pounds (90.17 kilogram) but it now impossible for me obtain that goal. Some reason I gain in May.
I will continue eating my 1,847 calories for the week. If all works out then the following week I then will consume 1,822 calories.

Our weight lost group drew names for like a secert sister mainly for encouragement. Couple of my relatives are in the group. And I end up with one of them.
But it ok to send them little something.

Looks like it about time for me to eat. I'm going to go over to Liz a while. I will call her after she gets done with her thearpy. And see what is where or where is what.
Hopeful we can cut out some fabric strips for the crochet rugs. I grab some at our local thrift store going out of town and gave them $4.00 for a sack of sheets.
It starting to smell mighty good out in kitchen.

It Starting To Roll

Yesterday I cut all the strips for my next rag rug I'm planning to make. But Liz always want to make one. So when I'm doing mine she can learn to one and make one right be side me.
She thought she has enough fabric. So I'll stop by a thrift store and get some sheets. The one I'm doing now will be from sheets also.

Before work I mail off some fabrics to my daughter in law. I hope she can use the material for the BANDANAS.
But I park at old Safeway parking lot. Mail off package and went over and see if CALLIES had any purple on sale. and she didn't.
So I walk over to LITTLE MORE and see if they had any purple in there sale corner. Things in there sale corner is 40% off which put the fabric at around $6.00 a yard.
Well no purple.
I walk across the street and see if Under the Sun had anything fun and interesting, as usual they did.

Phone call is my main thing I did at Regis today. It all went smoothly and he has two doctor appointments this week. One is Wednesday in Sandpoint and the other one will be Friday in Courd'Alene.
After a quick going though the place. He want to go out to his sister (EX) law for a visit. He spending the night and I told him I will pick him up before I go to my weigh in with T.O.P.S.

My friend Deb pass way on the 3rd of June. When her obit is up I will copy and paste it. She truely know to be humble owas about.
She was part of our pagan group. She ask to have a pagan service so we will give her one at a later date.
But her mom want to have the service at our local Lutheren Church.

Most people I tell I'm pagan. They have to ask what my religious affiliation then I will tell them. I don't ask what people politcal or religious affiliation is.
But when I tell them I'm a pagan I usual get two reaction
They gigle uncomfomfortable or They don't recognize as a practicing religion.

Daisy been waiting for me to toss her ball and I still need to clean out the pick up. I drove the pick up today as my car was being service.

I'm Looking Forward Light Load Week

Went to Spokane and seen my son Bart and his family, plus his in laws. He seem to be in good spirits and is back to work but I don't believe full force.
But this up coming Thursday he will see the oncologist, about the tumor they remove oligodendroglioma.
Well the best thing is they caught it early and he healthy.

This hasn't been easy. Confession time...It bothers me that I can't change a thing about my son situation 
See in my life I didn't do great things. But I made things better for how every slightly choice I made or did for my self.
But right now there nothing I can do but give my son hope, love, and support.
At times my eyes water up when I feel helpless.

But Knowing there more positive then not. It give me hope but I have to keep reminding my self of this.

Monday I go to work but before that I'm taking my car in to be service.
 Toward the end of the week Regis hip and leg was bothering him.
He briefly talk to his regular doctor receptionist about it and since we been trying to get his hip surgery lined up.
It was suggested he get hold of his orthopedic surgeon, and see if he is willing to do anything for the pain.
One of his friends brought over one of his pain pill and it did give him some relieve. But it dealing with the black market and times one has to.
So Monday morning I'll call his orthopedic surgeon.
Before I came to work he had a real bad infection in his jaw bone. And it bothering him and he needs to be seen by the doctor who did the operation on his jaw, which was a Otolaryngology 
But the appointment was originally for in pact ear wax.
Then the rest of the week I sure hope it our regular routine.

I also have Liz to do. I'm going to see if she possible want to do a crochet rag rug. She always want to do one.
So earlier today I cut out my strips and this one will be for my self.

I'm re purposing ole bed sheets. I picked two queen size sheet for $3.00 at a yard sale some time ago.
So I thought we can start doing a crochet rag rug.

I been cutting some of Murphy ole shirts he gave me. I been cutting them in 1.50 inches strips to do locker hook projects.

I briefly talk to Murphy about the week. One thing I brought up was the problem with the picture not being able to pull off my photos off my x D card.
I need to also go up and pay for my Internet and I was wondering if I should just take my lap top up there or let my niece Quincy try to fix it.
Anyhow we have quite a few Strawberries in my freezer and looks like we will be having bumper crop of strawberries. So we was thinking of giving Quincy the majority of them out of the freezer.
If she can't I will have to take it some place.
Murphy and I will have to stop in at our local bank and get proof of the check I wrote to pay our safely deposit box.
Our money and the safely deposit box is at two different banks.

I didn't keep track all that well on Fitday what I ate. So I feel it's for the best to keep my calorie count at 1,847.
And I'm still seeking donation for Daisy and there is a link on the right hand side of my blog. I'm matching up to $50

Isn't That Something.

Murphy I believe got the garden planted. He put out 3 artichoke plants, and some sunflowers. Both of us like sunflower greens to put our lettuce salad.
I just finish up my June bullet journal. Did some minor changes from my May set up. I finished up the locker hook rug. Not sure which project I'll be doing next. I know it will something I start and haven't finished yet. One thing I'm going to cut some strips for a crochet rag rug I want to do for my self.

Murphy and I went to Sandpoint and got a few items. It's been ages since I bought clothes retail. Two of the items I got was seven each a green top and coral color shorts. They came off the clearance rack $7 each.
Then a summer dress for under $14.00
Well Murphy got few item.
Our first bill for the month came our electric, $67.54 and that for 490 kilowatts. But we have $28.00 base charge.

We're off to see Bart and Molly. Next Thursday he will be seeing the oncologist about the tumor he had remove.
They seem fairly optimistic, and now days treating tumors have a lot more options and treatment has came a long ways.
But in my life I've figure away to change my sitution. But this I feel so helpless. It's like trying to change the weather.
Confession...time it getting easier for me to deal with as time go by. Less and less my eyes doesn't tear up

I start to look for a purple fabric for my next up coming locker hook rug. I don't want to spend over $7.00 a yard.
So I stop in at "Alley Fabric Nook" and they have nice section of discount fabrics. I don't see buying fabric that I'm cutting into 2 inch strips and it for rug that will be on the floor.
But I did find a fun summer design that I'll send to my daughter in law so she can make BANDANAS. But I'll go though my stash and add two more piece of fabrics.

It looks like it been 3 months for a donation for DAISY. Still willing to match up to $50. I know one thing I need to do is getting back on fitday and after a news it wouldn't hurt me go for a walk.
It might even loose some ENDORPHINS

May 2017 Cheak In

I did wear my pedometer more then I have in the past. Sort of screwed up but on average I took 5,000 steps daily or 2.50 miles (4.01 KM) and there is 31 days in May.

End of April as I've been mapping my walk I was at camp ground on Lochsa river. So in month of May I walk about 77.50 miles (124KM)

Ended up in pass creek area. I'm starting wonder how people back in ole days, when they where on a CATTLE DRIVE or coming across the OREGON Trail.

I've said this over and over I was going to keep track what I spend. And set some type of budget and I finely did it.

Well I'm not going into all the categories. For June I even did less categories, less problems. But after all done and said there was little over $300 left. Out of that I believe I'm going to put $250 on the credit card.

Well on food I did real good I figure our food bill would be $360.00 and I spent 342.42. I'm going up that $380 for June, and the reason is to cover our sale tax on food. I base my figures on what two people would get on S.N.A.P if their aloud the max. We don't qualify for them.

Gas for our rigs I figure $120 and I was off. Actual we spend $180 on fuel for rigs. We did little more driving because of going to Spokane because of Bart Brain tumor.

The “Old Shit” for those unexpected things I figure $100 should be fine. But we had to take pick up in and it cost us $132.91 and anther one for $77.12

There always those yearly bills and I need to save back $260. This month I'm doing it different I'm going to pay our Internet service of $177 and put back $83.

Don't know what I was thinking but I figure $60 for natural gas that more likely what we spend in winter. The gas bill was $30.27

For my utilities I'm just doing one cataroy instead of three and I figure $160 should cover my electric, gas and water.

As you can see I did the weather, walking, what I spend, and last one and my results from on line Therapist from BLUE MIX 

One thing it says I would most likely to volunteer for social cause

Then one thing I wouldn't most likely to be influence by brand names.

Then I would like to share a little more...Agreeableness is at a 38%, Higher the number you get a long with other....lower the number you tend be more skeptical.

Statement time...who we have in our white house I'm pretty skeptical anything positive will come out.

Going to talk a lines about my consumer needs..31% there but I don't being high or low is best result on this

Taking pleasure in life 11% but like the consumer one, don't know if high or low is best results on this.

You are inner-directed.

You are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them. You are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself. And you are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe.

Your choices are driven by a desire for organization.

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and taking pleasure in life. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.

Just one line on my calorie in take for May my daily average is 1,847
