Now A Dinging thoughts.

To my best of my knowledge we only have one mural in our community. There used to be one painted on back of our local museum.
Well I thought it would be nice to do up some murals. This morning heading toward town on far south end of town I saw 8 possible walls to do up some murals in our community.
Confession time...I post in two local group on facebook to see if anyone else would possible be interested in organizing a mural committee.
I rather have someone else run it, but still be involved with it.

Flowers been is over whelming with grass and weeds. So I been trying to keep the un-wanted not taking over in my flower beds.
So this morning and little bit this afternoon I been weeding and cutting back grass in flower bed.

Did get in slight walk this morning

I did check under both of my car seat. But I'm not going to jump to any conclusion. or making in rush decision

Great Hunt Is Still On

Still looking for my camera....One day Regis and I went to Sandpoint and I was hoping to have a chance to take a few picture of murals.
Well I stuck my camera in back of my car behind the passenger seat, on the floor. Never had an oppurtunity to take any photos.
Our last stop was the dollar store and when we went into the store I'm know my camera was the place where I put it, behind passenger seat.
Well I came out of the store. Items from the store in plastic bag went on top of my camera.
Haven't seen my camera since.
So I guess I either or he grab it accidently when items was be brought in to either place. I have ask Regis if he seen my camera, and he said no.
Or it could be very well here still.
It so fustrating.
I know everything should have place and once used it should go back in spot. But when I came home I was tried and just toss thing down.

It fact my flower beds need to be redone. But it will be better to replant them in the fall. So for now I'm going to try to keep the grass down, so sunlight can get to the flowers.
This morning I took out grass in the hodge podge flower bed.
Murphy went and lightly rottilled the veggie garden again.
I explain my ideal of planting fruit trees. The only thing I want is a pear tree.

Today we went to Walmart and got a few items for the place. Well I end up getting a few person items for my self. Like a package of socks, and panties. Plus a package of yarn needles.
Did look at the camera there. I like how the PIX PRO feel in my hand. But still need to do some reasearch. I want to keep trying to find my camera to mother day, mid may. If camera is not found I will break down and get a camera then.

Still looking for a dog. I've been checking the shelter with in a 100 miles from our place. Not saying I won't bend in some area.
I'm looking for a female puppy or a young dog. Actual I would like to get a mutt when fully grown weighing between 20 and 30 pounds.
If it not spaded I will get it spaded.
Off to Medford this up coming weekend. When I get back I might put a local adds in my local area for a mutt and see what comes up.

Washing Machine is going doing up some tops, kitchen towels and some fabric I got local thrift store.
I also need to wash up some blanket for guess room.

Not Many

Idaho sure don't have many liberal, progressive or demarcate candidates running in our up coming primary.
Confession time...I was going to change my voter status back to Republican, and I procrastinate and miss the dead line.
Well in simple term here when it comes to primary if you want to make a different when comes to casting your ballot.
It usual better vote what I call up or down. Just like in days of Soviet Union during the cold war. So in the past I would vote for what I thought was a moderate to a liberal republican.
So since I didn't change my voting status. I'm asking for the democrat candidates in the primary. So I went into our local court house and got a democrat sample ballot.
I found this site called VOTE SMART and wear a candidate gets there funding from tell quite a bit about them. "Money Talks Bull Shit Walks"
Well I figure who I will be casting my ballot for my Representative for congress first dist. There only three candidate to choose from.
Then I decided who I will vote for Governor. Also three candidates are running.
Still need to study there other candidates. I need to choose a candidate for Lieutenant Gov, Secretary of State,  Superintended of public education, and state representative position A.
Then the other position there only one candidate running.
looks like there four republican running for governor, and seven for congress. well if your curious about our CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES.
Enough P.S (political shit)

Still looking for my camera, and usual I said something like "I'll put it in a a safe place so I can remember where I put it" and now where is that place.
It sort of reminds me of the lesson I learn about the electric toothbrush...When I was young I want an electric tooth brush, and my parents bought me one although it wasn't exactly what I wanted. So I thought I took a hammer to it. Then my parents would go out and buy me a new tooth brush.
Well my mom said "you couldn't take care of tooth brush you had, why should you get the electric tooth brush"
Confession time...Why should I get my self anther camera since it seem I can't take care of the one I have. 
So I should continue looking for it. But I guess there will be a time I will have to say enough is enough.

Yesterday as I watch star trek I set up my bullet journal for the month of May.

Murphy and I made home chicken noodle soup. The leeks that was left in garden from last garden season was just fine.
It was a good way to clear things out of our veggie bind in frig.

Hubby got a list of things we could use around the place. Back to the one guest room to get in straighten out a bit.
My friend LaWalla Will be staying at our place as I'm going to Oregon to see my oldest and his wife.

Green Is Majorty Color

When I look out my window I can see all shades of green. Here north Idaho we have over six months of green. Then the rest of the year it broken down to fall colors and white.
It been a while since I post anything on color magic. Let talk about about color green. When I was young I saw this color as a "stern" color and now I know it ok to have personal bounds. I see this color as "fun" and color that bring "joy"
Question time...How does the color of green make you feel?
Green is a very good color, and could even bite you if your not careful. Know that old saying "Be Careful What You Wish For"
I'm just taking a few of what green represent...prosperity, and most people I know when it comes to prosperity usual think of money. Yes money is fact of life and it does make a life easier. But we don't need to be on the tread mill of oniomania. First look around and see what you have.
Take what every money you can and pay it forward. Believe me it better to bless one then not.
Healing is also represent by green. We all can improve and remember usual healing does happen with switch. It takes time and retraining our self to be heal.
Fact is not all is to be healed.
Last thing I would  like to mention is "growth" as I look out side and took my morning walk. I see plenty of things coming awake.  
Leaves and flowers are starting to a raise. Green grass is coming about feeding all sorts of game.
The little fawn are hidden in under brush, and soon will join it mom to graze in Field of green grass.

It been a entire week I've done FITDAY and would like to take a minute to talk about some of the reports they offer.
My calorie eating chart the daily average is 1,269. Well let take a minute and break it down, carb intake is 588 calories or 46%...dietary fiber is 11.4 grams...Protein calorie intake 259 calorie or 20%...Fat 420 calories or 33% But the fats are broken down. I know fats can be both good or bad.
Saturated Fats stands at 124 calories or 10%
Polyunsaturated fats stands at 98 calories or 8%
Monounsaturated fats stands at 152 calories or 12%
Fit day cover a large section of nutrition both mineral and vitamins. And I see I'm week and strong in some areas
Three things I'm lacking in vitamin D, and I wonder how they figure this one out. I been out side. Then also lacking in magnesium and potassium which isn't horrible low.
I could take a minute and google these items and see what food would benefit me.
But I'm happy with my calorie intake.

Today I took Regis to the pain clinic. And first there going to try some injection and possible go to a ELECTRICAL SPINE CORD STIMULATOR. Hopeful Regis does some resarch on this item. He think he could possible be come cyborg.

Took Regis to PANHANDLE PIES and we both had Rhubarb pie and side of ice cream, half a cup. I seem to handle it ok. But I wouldn't want in more.
And still made it under my calorie count.
But before I stop in at SPA BY THE LAKE and I was going to make an appointment before I went down to Oregon.
Sawyer and Betty gave me a gift certific there for Christmas and thought it would be fun to wear face nails down.
It look like I'll do it aftewards.

Still can't fine my camera and it driving me nuts

Two Meme

I believe about every Wednesday a fellow blogger, SONG BIRD takes part in Hodge Podge question which host by THIS SIDE OF PONDS
So I decide to give it a try. Remember this is first time doing this one

 They say you learn something new every day. What did you learn yesterday?..My Youngest (Son) Bart called and told me that his M.R.I (Magnetic Resource imaging) and NO sign of his brain tumor returned. 

 Have you ever had a now or never moment? Elaborate....I learn when I person says never or always usual somehow experience something to the  contrary. As for "Elaborate" it's only way to tell a story.

April 25th is National Telephone Day. Do you still have a land line or have you gone mobile only? When you receive a text message do you respond immediately? Last time you turned your phone off?  In two or three sentences share with us a story/memory/incident from your childhood (or something current if that's too hard) where the telephone is featured....Since I'm over 50 and we do have a land line. But we switch over to VoIP phone and it goes though my router. And I can call any where in United States,  Canada, or Mexico for $35 a year.

 Close call, at some one's beck and call, call the shots, call a meeting, call it quits, call in sick, call on the carpet, wake up call...which call have you 'heard' recently? Explain....When it comes to pay our taxes. My hubby and I was trying to figure where the money should come from....Well to me it didn't matter were it came from as long as it get paid for...I told my husband it will be paid in full and if it isn't we will be fighting.

 What subject do you wish you'd paid more attention to in school?...Yes. All of them. I even thought of taking some Math classes.

 Insert your own random thought here....Sure made me think, and it was fun.

I don't know who start "Wordless Wednesday" But here is LINK who might want to play.

It Was Call Off

I thought I was going to take Regis appointment but it was cancel, and reschedule for Thursday afternoon.

Weigh in this morning. I weigh on the home scale on Sunday and at T.O.P.S on Tuesday. Well I was a quarter pound heavier. Still working on my next five pounds. I only got three pounds to go.
Well hopeful I can make this a habit. When I go some place. I walk around the building when it possible.
It hasn't been quite a week since I restart Fitday. I see there a few things I need to up date on the site.

Took a few books to thrift store. There this wooden box I put stuff to go to local thrift store. And I want to keep the box.
Well Regis and I went over to thrift store and I check the fabric section or linnen in hope I can fine some fabric to finish up Liz crochet rag rug.Well I've been working on the white section and it little much. And I got some off white pillow cases with a little bit of print into them.

Pretty simple day

Let Me Tell You

We American here about how long the wait to get any medical service from country who have one payer systems.
Well I have medical insurance and I have to wait and see what my insurance company will approve. There sending me to see a gastologist. Well 3 years ago I had a colonoscopy from one gastroentologist which I like. But I request to see that doctor once again. And I ask if they could see the same doctor.
So she pulled up on the computer and see where I possible going. She read off the doctor name and never heard of him.
I ask why they were sending me to that doctor, and she guess it was my insurance and or would be easist one to get in.
She did sending in request for the doctor I wish to see. But it doesn't mean my insurance company will pay for it.
It could be possible simple it might be easier to get in to the doctor there suggestion.
Don't think you have to wait to see a medical doctor here in America.

Since I pretty much sat all day over the weekend. Driving to airport and waiting I didn't get much movement.
Today when I park I parked away from the building and even took a brief walk up our road.
I did my goals or things I want to do this up coming week.
Off to Sandpoint tomorrow I'm taking Regis to his appointment at pain clinic. We will also stop in at Library down there and get some DVD and both my client been watching ONCE UPON A TIME and I see a bits and piece. To me it seem like a pretty good show and there telling me it best to watch it from the beginning.
The other TV show I would like to see is SEX IN THE CITY

Hubby went out on his Aunt place and dog up a larch tree and plant it in our yard. But up a wind sock and see it need to be reinforce a bit.

Weigh in and hopeful I'm on my way for my quarter goal of losing 5 pounds. Last weigh in I was at my last quarter goal weight.

Take Mental Note

Hubby and I drove down to Spokane and usual I drove and this time he did most of the driving. So I can enjoy scenery.
As the trip to Spokane I keep thinking to my self "Take a mental note" Well I look at trees and nothing with leaf yet, but notice a few trees starting to real show some green bud.

Not much planning I try to take Trent ave into Spokane. Well that were the industry area in Spokane is and was.
Quite a few empty buildings. I wonder why they don't turn them into some low income housing. I know it wouldn't be the grandest area.
But bit a little time and effect in place. It could be come someone cozy little places.
Opinion time...It better get someone a hand up then slap down.

Well before we got to the airport to get Qunella. Murphy and I stop at a Chinese Restaurant. Then close to Airport in Spokane is Air Heights and stop at Walmart. I got my self a analog watch with big numbers.
So I can see the time. My car don't have a clock in it, and I need to get my client to there appointment.
But also I stop and looked at some camera in there.

Now for the wait at airport, see her flight was an hour late getting in. So I sat and watch people go though the TSA.
I recall people would dress to fly. Now it more causal to fly.
But I did notice a few ladies were wearing wedge heals. And all sort of fun looking sneakers.

I'm guessing I miss all sort of mental notes

Not lacking

Just finish up feeding info into my fitday account. One of the reason I like it keep track of all of your nutrition. This is my third day of recording. According to RDA the three I'm short on is vitamin D, well as I understand vitaim D is SUNSHINE Vitamin.
Two other thing I'm short in is Calcuim, and vitamin B 12.
But in last few days I been strong in iron, vitamin C and Niacin.

Strange thing I can't fine my camera. I know I took it with me when I went to Sandpoint last Wednesday. Swore I took it in and now I'm not sure were I put it. Plain and simple I have to much stuff
Then today I stop in at this sale. We had an excellent varity store called "Huckleberries" and the owner lost lease to building. Well she didn't sell of her inventory. Now face forward she got anthor building and believe she renting it for two weeks, and trying to move the rest of her inventory. Everything is 75% off.
Best way to explain Huckleberries is compare it to the old FIVE AND DIMES

Both my clients get about $785 a month sure they get snaps (food stamps) and they get help with there utilities usual it happen in November and there credit a certain amount on there power bill. Well it depends how well the place they live in is insulated. What I notice that the utilities grant last 3 to 6 months.
At our main food bank one can go in and pick up salvage....There different shelf and refridrator and there sign how many items one can take.
And this is only can be use once a week. three times a year one can get a food box and it should feed one family for two weeks.
There a few other food bank in our community but there religious based one

Well today I drove the client out to HOPE HOUSE so they can get some clothes, and few personal items.
Well these people needs clothing and non food items.
The lady who runs the hope house was telling me about MEAL OF HOPE and would like to bring it to our community.
But four times a year our community have a food truck come and give away food.
All this is very helpful for those in need.

Sure these people stuggle and if it weren't for these community organization these people would stuggle a lot mor.

Now To Be Or Not To Be Amazed

I been getting over 5,000 steps in last few days. My goal was to get over 5,000 steps and if I keep going at this rate. Next month I will up it to 7,500
I did order a fit bit zip not sure when it will be. And I start to do FIT DAY again and can uses it with my phone.
I only did some minor goal set up on site. Trying to keep my daily calorie goal between 1,800 and 2,000. They do offer some other feature but not sure what I want or need to do with it.

Drop my friend Qunella at the airport in Spokane, she going to Seattle to celebrate her mother life. I'll go back down on Sunday.

One thing I noticed that that some of the trees were leaf out. And I figure Monday or shortly after wards our leaves in North Idaho will start to leaf out.

Stop at Super One and bought a few thing. I got a jar of Kimchi. I would like to try to make it or try different varieties of them.

I Real Don't

This morning I'm honestly trying to figure how to blog. Not what to blog about. I just don't like grumbling about my digestion system. Well diarrhea is back, although not as bad. I wrote down every thing I ate on Wednesday.
At this point I'm starting to think it could be possible dairy foods. But Monday I have an appointment with the doctor.

I've been trying to increase my walking. I been pushing my self to walk a little bit more. Right now I have T.O.P.S pedometer.
It ok. Actual it one my better one. But it doesn't go to techie device. It doesn't plug into anything.

Now I'm think of getting a fitbit zip. So I can use an app to keep track of my steps. I was keeping track of my food with, FITDAY  now I'm thinking of using there app with my phone. But I know quite a few people who use  MY FITNESS PAL.
I'm familiar with Fitday. What I like to do is a good but easy app to use both on my phone and laptop.

I'll get the fitbit zip. Over at SONG BIRD CRAZY WORLD she post a blog on her new toy, SMART FOOD SCALE, although I know nothing about them.

Confession time...I just got my smart phone. I've had a flip phone for ages. And still learning my way around.
I still need to set up my voice mail. I gave my hubby my old flip phone.

I put out my whirl things in yard. Weather been super nice and joying morning coffee with hubby out on the deck. Watching bird doing the aerobatics which I find comforting.
Yesterday Regis and I stop at the dollar store in Sandpoint and I got a few things to put out in yard.

Taking my friend Quenella to the airport tomorrow.

Up the Next Flight

For the last three weigh in at T.O.P.S I be
en at or slightly below my first quarter goal. Now it time to start moving about my 2nd quarter goal is to loose the next five pounds.

Got all the tax stuff done. I got the last little bit done for our property taxes. We will get about $170 knock off.
At first I was wonder if any thing was knock off.

After work today and the dentist. I went and had a teeth cleaning. As there were scrapping crud off my teeth. Only I could think what a smelly job. Gee I could smell it, and what raunchy smell.

I did get a little more done on the back bedroom after work. I found a few more items to take to the thrift store. I sure hope I remember to take it in the morning.

At first I was going to tell you this is my friend "George" I take care of it. Not sure if it maler or female.
Question time...Does anyone know anything about this insect?
They seem to like to be under woodpile, boxes or wood products. And they stink when you squash them.
Usual I toss them outside. But sorry to annouce they will be flush down the toilet or cremated in wood stove during the cold winter months.

What Do We Or I

Just finish up paper work for my first quarter taxes. Then the paper work for our property taxes circuit breaker.
Actual I don't mind paying my taxes, but I take every legal loop hole I can. On the circuit breaker one I can deduct our medical cost off our property taxes. Although it's not that much less then $700. But every penny count.

I send a copy of our taxes to my employer. We get bonus twice a year and there were some who didn't claim there income. Well they got audit and start looking into there employees, matching up social security numbers and found some didn't pay taxes.
Not sure what happen.


This morning I was telling my hubby. My next life or next time around. I'm NOT going to be a responsible person. Just let thing slide.

trying to keep things balance isn't an easy thing. I weigh in tomorrow at local top group. I need to the scale to be under 215.75. If it is I'll start working on my next five pounds.
My goal is to loose 5 pounds a quarter.
20 pounds drop and I still will be over weight.
I even have conversation with my self. Why and how I let my self get this heavy. Well simple answer is I did.
Then the other conversation I start to have is my 2019 health goal. Simply I need to shut up and keep focus on my 2017 health goals.
Question time...In your own mind have you every discuss things.


Last little bit to go on the locker hook rug. It tight fit and my hand get cramps in them.

WWW Doesn't Always Stand for Wide World Web

We put a peek hole off our kitchen door. I hear and see they have those fancy ones to hook to your smart phone or computer device. But for under $5 this will work just fine.
I thought it might be interesting to put camera lens up to it and take a photo.

Still working on the bed room, not as hard as I did yesterday. My left side on my lower back is hurting.
I've work with plenty of people who has pain issues. Not saying I'm anti or pro pain medication. But when waking I notice if one waits 15 minutes before taking pain meds. There time the pain will slowly subdue. I woke up at 8 to 9 in pain. I would say maybe a little longer then 15 minute pain level was decreasing. No it not all gone, but I'm at 5 or 6.

About every hour or so I walk around the yard, which help decrease the pain level. check flower beds out. Finely a few flowers are showing there colors

As for my cleaning project I was looking at the book case or so called. In all honesty I want to get rid of it.
But not sure were the books and such should go. Or which one to keep...See which one to keep or get rid of...One of those which question.

I found an app I want to try. Well I don't think there a lot of wants I actual need. But I found this app doing genealogy called WE'RE RELATED and so far I can't get it to work.
If there was a charge for it I wouldn't even try. But I know I'm related to a few shady people in history.

When it comes to techie stuff. When I try something usual my statement is "How" and "Why"

SUNDAY MORNING  is a show I like. And there was over money. One thing I have "wonder" like lot of thing. Is our relationship with it.
I guess the truth to be said. One can't live with out it.
Being on HENDONIC TREADMILL isn't and won't solve any troubles in one life. Blowing money on object will only temporary put bandage on your issues.
But I been working on my Hendonic down fall of emotional eating. A lease I know now when it happen and I put in two possible plans when it happen.
1...wait a certain amount time before I eat...let say 15 minutes
2....Have amount or measure of how much one will eat.
I'm sure there more tools one can use for our hendonic down falls.

It time for me to walk again

Taking A Stab At It

Two of my goal at first of the new year was to get rid of items I was going to have a yard sale, which didn't happen and the items been there for about two years. It not happening. So slowly I been haul things to one of our local thrift store.

Well my other goal was to clean out the one corner in one of our bedrooms. So today I'm taking a stab at that.

Going though the items, I have different reaction. Such as "how I total forgot about that", "Now that where that went" and "Why I did I ever get that"

So hopeful once items get to the thrift store other can fine good use for it.

 Had a little trouble deciding where to put my grand daughter quilt fabric I got. Confession time...I had the fabric since she was in the oven. And now she two.
I guess we should consider our self bless when we live many years after retirement so we can do all those cool things once we retire. Because going to work keeps a damper on those projects.

Well I put Claudia quilt fabric in a plastic bag and place it the tote I keep my larger cut piece, a yard or more.
And I haul the tote in to our basement.

This weekend after seeing the doctor, she suggest trying to do around of MILK OF MAGNESIA over the weekend, and she admit long term use of it. Isn't good for you.
I did go in last Thursday to see my result of my stomach xray. Well all look good but my colon is packed and possible once that is empty my digestion will be back working normal.
So I go back the 23rd, which is week from Monday.
I'm starting to believe it what I'm eating. A food intolerance but what, sort of foods is anyone guess.  I will keep mental note.
Hopeful it can be figure out. 
Confession time...I don't enjoy talking about my health or anyone health. 

I just realized all of my ancestors was here before the AMERICAN CIVIL WAR. To best of my knowledge the last person who came over to America was a set of 3rd great grand parents. Mathias Joseph Muench and his wife Maria Gertrude Schwell. They both were born in Duengenheim Germany. With there seven children. Arrive in America 1848. And lot of my family was here couple of hundred years before our American Revolution war. I had ancestors who fought in FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR 
You have 32 3rd great grand parents. 

A few things done around the place. As I was cleaning a bit in one of the bedrooms I found a small back pack my son use in there school days. The zipper work and we could use it for some simple day hikes.
I found some sheets. Three of them don't match to anything I own and there a little ratty. So they can be use for crochet rag rugs. But there one bottom sheet still looks like it's in pretty good shape. But I'm not sure if it goes to any of our beds.
Murphy tied up the raspberry patch and we want to bring the patch forward. 
We went and got the last little wood out of the garage and cut it down. Haul it in to the basement. Hopeful we don't have to use the wood heat anymore this year.

Got Results

I finely got hold of someone about the stool sample I sent in. Good news all came back with normal result in sample.
But still have dirarrhea. So this afternoon I went to have an xray and found out the hospital computer system was down.
So no xray. Never know how long things like that could take for them to be up and running. It was getting late in the day.
I'll go over late morning or early afternoon to get my xray, and then early afternoon I see the doctor.
Strange thing I don't feel bad at all. It so inconvenient.
For now I'm not going second guess what it is.

Got a few extra step. As Regis visit with his speech therpist I decide to walk around for a while.

It Worth A Thimble Of Wine

In our local T.O.P.S group. Our entire group was lost 5.50 pounds (2.49) Then first of the year we wrote our self a letter. Seal it and respond today.
I made my quarter goal a few time I went up a little but always came back under 215 (97,5) and now for my next quarter goal is to be down 5 pounds (2.25)
I guess there some healing in WRITING LETTERS
Confession time..Had a little trouble ending my letter. Had trouble express not sounding like a pompous ass,

It rain off and on the last few days. Yesterday there was a small rainbow pop though the clouds. I just talk to my oldest and he in Medford Oregon and Yesterday they got up to 80 (26.6)

I guess this good place to stick this in. Still I'm having trouble with my digestion and haven't yet heard back from my stool sample. This afternoon I end up having an accident. Toward end of week it been two weeks since I saw the physician assistant and gave them a stool sample. Well Monday I will call and see what going on.
I can tell you one thing I doubt I will see that physician again. I've heard how slow the one payer system takes. Well there sure not speedy on my stool sample.

Been doing a little family history. My 2nd Great Uncle Henry died in the civil war. I know he was a Sergent and was in Calvary, out of state of Michigan

He left wife and one year old son Harley. would be my first cousin twice remove. I found out his mom occupation was listed as DOMESTIC SERVANT in 1870 census, and her son has them 8 and attend school.
Today we have widow benefits that have minor children though social security. But back then they were not much of a SAFETY NETS. Harley mother did remarry and had I believe 3 more children.

 There something about VICTORIAN ERA and also EDWARDIAN Era. As most of us know each era or generation had it advantage or disadvantage
The lady behind the little girl is my first cousin three time remove. She the daughter of 3rd great uncle Theodore.
She was born in New Hampshire and move to Michigan. Marrying a guy name Fletcher Joy moving to Iowa and raising a family.
Died in 1947 at the age of 88

Murphy toss out a greyish blue cotton shirt. I need some more strips to finish up the locker hook rug I started.
So as one can see I got more strips cut. I went in to my tote that has one yard of less of fabrics.
I can get back working on rugs.

Appearance Is May Be Having Effect

Last night I was watching original star trek and the show was "Is there no truth in beauty" and how looks influnence our judgement.

There this photo on group called Bonners Ferry politics and shit. I wonder what people reaction might be if an unattrative woman was packing. At this point only one person comment, a female
I have a lot of firearms and I open an carry.
Question time....Does appearance make one prejudice.
Notice as I get older health is very important. And when I was young I recall laughing or thinking when older people say "If you don't have your health you don't have nothing"
I notice people are having more fun with how they look, even older people.

Liz went and looked at rig and she refuse it. I believe I would of too refuse. Way over price for what it is.
Regis leg is real giving hime quite a bit of pain. He got some pinch nerve in back.
Well Liz end up emergency room with what I would call a frozen shoulder.

Weigh in tomorow at my local top group. Weather holding and I got a small walk in this morning.

Let Not Talk About It

Confession...I have a fear of how I might behave in certain situation. As many you know my youngest son Bart had brain tumor remove almost a year ago. All is good. He change his diet, life style, and have a positive outlook. The will to live and such.
But it me. I have the fear that I might hear..."It return" and I know I don't have certain control over things in life and one need to have trust that "aha" has a Divine plan for each and everyone of us.

Both my daughter in law is glowing. Both Bart and Molly talk briefly putting in a garden. Well the new baby is due first part of August. Not much time gardening for them. But I suggest try a few plants in a pot or nothing bigger then 4 by 4.

Had a wonderful time at my grand daughter Claudia birthday. We got her a bubble lawn mower and she enjoyed a the bubbles. Haven't yet seen a toddler who don't like bubbles.
Plenty of deer out last night when we came home from Claudia birthday party. But arrive home safely.

The other day Liz and I stop in at our local food bank. It helps the local people considering most of people who needs a safety net.
I rarely use the food bank. Main reason is they seem not to have much in healthy nutritional foods, little more in summer month from people who have garden and donate produce.
And I will be first to admit I like a sweet treat every so often. But my diet isn't build around fun naughty junk foods.
Well I did get a few special naughty foods and some garden seeds.

This morning my friend Qunella called and we talk about many different things. One thing we talk about how and why people develop her fears. I guess we all have our fears but does it control our daily life.
She has a friend who afraid that evil spirits is going to come though the window, and it effect her although not sure how much.

Finish up my hermit in my tarot deck. Next card I will be moving on to is three of wands. I know I want a clip board but I still need to put in some thought what else I need to put in this drawing.
Not sure why other then I'm lazy or not be responsible for not taking care of things as they come in.

Maybe we're afraid in dispointing our self more then others

Pigion Holes

Not coming across as a conspiracy theorist. Or not trying to. But a lot of things we do on line could possible PIGEONHOLE us into certain clean define boxes.

Not sure who does Facebook or any other social media. I have to wonder if some one search a recipe for "chicken noodle soup" which political category they would be toss in.

Murphy did uncover some of items in garden we want to hold over until spring. Two of our artichokes made it.
And we still have spinach to uncover.
For some unknown reason and possible gods and goddess might know why winter around here seem to be hanging around.

It Friday and end of my work week. Off to Montana tomorrow  afternoon, to celebrate grand daughter Claudia 2nd birthday.
Not sure what's going on at work. I know around Regis toilet floor needs to be clean, which won't take much time to do.
And hopeful I can get Liz out to look for a rig. I bought my rig though a car insurance auction and I believe she could possible fine something.
Around here public trans portion is pretty much non existence. So having a rig is pretty much a must.
The only thing I've done as home chores is vacuumed, swept, wipe the counters, and put the dishes away.
Once I get my sock and shoes on grab a sack of items to take to the thrift store. I'll be on my way to work.

.
But I have to wonder if your blog puts into a political or what every possible category. I consider my blog a hodge podge of things. I believe I cover a large variety of subject.
And post my feeling or opinion on them.
Now I wonder how our where abouts, type of rig we drive or don't drive, what we eat and such puts us in certain nice little boxes.
But I have to wonder..If you don't mention our faith and what we do on the net does it put us in a nice little box of faith or not?
Statement time...One main reason I don't care about the medical profession is that they pigion hole every human.

Star date

Lot of time I have trouble coming up with things to blog about. As star trek diary, journal and they use the term log.
I never yet know or understood there STAR DATE but with google we can do amazing thing. Star date I would of been born Jan 1st 2323.
Captain logs star date...9588.1 Trying to figure out what to blog about. Receive paper work back I forgot to sign.

Called the clinic who took my stool sample. No result yet and the ole saying no news is usual good news.
But in the mean time I keep telling my self I need to change my eating and get more exercise. I know this and continue to have my bad habits. Yes and I do have good habits as well
Although I have better health habits then the people I usual take care of. But____________and I could use that as excuse.

I met two of my friends at UNDER THE SUN for coffee and decide to order a wrap from SOUL SHINE. I had the Bonn, as I try to read the menu...My wrap had kale, lettuce, and the rest I can't make out. Super good.

Haven' yet taken any photos I thought taking first part of each month, mid month, and end of the month. See how our world progress or regress. The world is constantly moving or rotating.
I did get a flat white sheet from one of our local thrift store, for Liz rag rug. I would like to fine anther one which isn't solid white, just a touch of color to sort of break it up a bit.

I did anther poll right side of my blog. It will be up until the 15th.

Little By Little.

Most of or I should say a lease I have wish I could snap my figure and make thing change. I did make my quarter goal of weight lost. But I want to or need to loose anther five pounds the second quarter of the year.
I'm slowly sneaking back up. And it needs to stop.

Took Regis to the library in Sandpoint and for some reason his DVD he check out. Came up missing. I could swear I took them out to my car.
Well for some reason they never made it back to library.
The people I take care get $785 a month. Although they do have some subsiding housing and food. Regis only pays $179 for rent and receives I believe is $104 in food stamps.
And also he on medicaid and medicare for his medical, which helps him pay for his medicines.
So we went to library to make things right. So to help Regis pay for the missing DVD I would pay for half or them.
We talk the library and found out what would cost to replace the DVD. I paid my half and next month he will pay his part, which is under $45.

We stop at walmart and did a little shopping. I got a gift bag to put Claudia gift bag to put her clothing I got her for her birthday.
Then some wrapping paper to wrap her gift with. I find it amazing or shocking what they charge for papers.

The other day I was doing a little family history research. Some one posted this photo of my great grand ma Cynthia. My grandparents are Edgar and Olive. This photo they only had 3 children and will have 9 more. Alice will be come my Aunt which I never would met. She was killed in car accident a year before I was born. Glen and Charlie became my uncle. Charlie was called Buck and he was a fan of the comic strip BUCK ROGERS.
The picture was taken in Kanasa

Good Grief World

Couldn't thinking of a title to my post. Usual this hardest part to blogging. Couple post I even try more of diary form.
Such as Dear Blog...Dear Cup Coffee...or even possible Dear Self. Nothing felt right to me.
I been blogging since 2005, and it was more popular then it is now. Which doesn't matter to me.
So I've had a blog for about 13 years. What surprise me the most I can still come up something to blog about. Question time...What surprise who the most about blogging?..
But maybe I should of use in title page...Year One page one...Then the following year depending how far we're in new year...Year Two page 89...
Well to me that sound boring. I guess I will struggle with titles.

Looks like I will have to put on winter boots before I head out. Once again it snowing. Let me I'm not impress or be coming less impress with snow.

Easter went well. Well had choice between ham and lamb. I rarely have lamb so one can guess what I had.
Before I went I had a plan what I was going to do. So I wouldn't over eat. Even plan for a little dessert.

It's a new a quarter. And my weight lost goal is to loose 5 pounds before the end of June. I did drop 5 pounds last quarter.

I did poll and what people "How do you want to look" I wonder what ages those who took part in my poll.
Large majority people want to look healthy. And one person want to look fun.
I guess that ole saying if you don't have your health you don't have nothing.
Last thing I sure don't want to look miserable.

There health relate issue being OVER WEIGHT and also being UNDER WEIGHT. Two of my niece was at Easter dinner. One I would say she looked healthy. The other didn't look healthy, to me she look way to thin.
Sort of gaunt looking.

Not sure what going on at work. Dryer should be finishing up. We have some left over chicken, and hubby likes the way I make noodles.
So I guess we're having home made chicken noodle soup for dinner.

March Check In 2018

Viewing my bullet journal and it usual fairly safe to start with weather. Today is Easter so "Happy Easter" and Fools day "Keep your pranks down to "minimum"
As I'm typing and looking out the window it snowing here in North Idaho.
Warmest day was March 31st at 59 (15)
Coldest day was March 4th at 20 at (-6.6)
Average High 44 (6.6) and now for the average low 29 (-1.6)

Weekly health goals are right now. Is to loose 3/4 pounds (.34) a week on average. Loose 5 pounds (2.2)  I did make my 5 pounds down. Since it first part of April I'm on my way to loose anther 5 pounds.

Water and walking. Look like I make my water goal is 3 and half times during the week. Is to drink 36 oz (1.6)  of water daily or more. But I know this needs to keep increasing.
5000 steps is my daily step goals or more. I figure on average it 2.5 miles (.36)
March 24 is day I took the most step 8,741 4.25 miles (.71)
March 4 is day I took the lease step 2,449 1.25 miles (.68)
Now for average monthly steps 4,958 2.5 miles (.36)

I have to say I'm fairly happy with my thrift store hauls. Notice in my bullet journal I tend do better as keeping track of things. First part of week and end week I don't record what I accomplish.
Our account got the taxes done. Looks like we're paying in about $3,000. See the company I work for uses K1 (form 1065)

Now for a little INSIGHT

You are restrained.

You are consistent: you enjoy familiar routines and prefer not to deviate from them. You are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them. And you are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself.

Your choices are driven by a desire for organization.

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and tradition. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you care more about making your own path than following what others have done.

Let take a look at 5 called facts...4% achievement, now I believe we are our own worst critic. And we cripple our self reaching our goals and such.
Tradition 22%... On one hand I love tradition, but not all from the past is right or an excuse to carry on with.
Taking pleasure in life 35%...Who came up with this?
Helping others 61%...If someone had 100% helping other I wonder if there being walked over and taken advantage of.
Stimulation 67% I can see if at 0% nothing would get done, and even possible just set in burning movie theater.
These fell under my values. Not trying to be gloat. But I try to live with good basic ethics.

Easter lunch will be at my in laws
