A Little Bit But Not To Heavy.

No photos of Daisy, or our two Cats Ziggy and Abner. No Photos of my crafts. Or even much post on them.

I don't like people talking about the same ole thing. Sound like broken record. I'm now going to leave a LINK for Daisy Teeth Cleaning and other vet bills. Remember I been match all donation.

Let get right to it. I said I'm scared of my emotion. I believe it comes down to my dad and how he respond to any emotional of what I may had.

I recall not often. He would beat me something horribly and I would even fight back. And after horrible screaming and crying.

He would just point his finger at me. And I'm super sensitive on how and when people point there fingers.

He threw me in to one of closet doors and it broke. Confession time...I fell sort on my own as I was getting one of thrashing.

I knew they would have to fix it. 

But all in all the emotional scares are lot harder to heal, then the physical ones.

  This is good enough place to show a photo of my grand puppydog. Boo. I guess she and Sawyer went for hike over the New Year holiday.

I'm surprise they went any place that there even a skiff of snow.

Boo is wearing one of her SCARF

Then there is the GrandKittyCat Emma with royal attitude. I understand she fell off the counter into the garbage can. Not sure what happen but she does have an air of she better then thou.

I can share my work day. It seem both of my clients is bit off there mediation.

Best way to explain it for now. Stay tune for tomorrow soap opera, “As In Life Of Crazies”

Breakfast...sausage, toast, and eggs.

Lunch...Potato soup and chocolate milk

Dinner...ground beef gravy on potatoes and green beans.

Naughty food...Cookie and pork rhines.

A little time on the treadmill.

Welcome 2017 and December Weather.

Before I move on to December weather and such...I took three of my post from last month...I often wonder if I'm crazy or not..

So hear what MY PERSONAL INSIGHT says....You are inner-directed, shrewd and can be perceived as critical.

You are deliberate: you carefully think through decisions before making them. You are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe. And you are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them.

You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of organization.

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and independence. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you welcome when others direct your activities for you.

Woke up this morning and was some what caution about getting out of bed. Usual a bed is a safe place to be. Unless you can get pregnant.

Like I said I been having anxiety attacks. Confession time...I'm scared of my own emotions.

Well maybe in next few days I will blog about it. It stands from my dad mental and physical abuse.

I'm not trying to hide from it.

As you can see Daisy and Ziggy are pretty good friends. Just yesterday someone donated $10 for Daisy Go Fund Me account. And I have already match it.

There is a link on right hand side of my blog. “Daisy Teeth Cleaning” Usual there links to share it on your face book page or twitter account.

Usual after a donation I will re-post it on both. This time I tried a little more directed approach. Ask three friends so I went that route.

I'll see how well that will work. But I sure don't want to piss off anyone. I was apprehended to even do it.

Three loads of wash today. Bedding!!! Change Murphy and I sheets. Finish washing up our fur pals. Vacuumed the living room and furniture

Did a little shoveling of snow. Got 4 inches (10 cm) over night and I guess about 20 inches (50 cm) out in our yard.

Still slow working on the rag rug. This red will be a the last color I will use. I believe I will do Liz in a red, white, blue color patterns. Sort of got the pattern lay out in my mind. So I will start looking though thrift stores and places that sell use goods. The odds are fairly high like let say 200 to 1 that I would purchase it retail price. I rarely say “Never”

 I never know how often I will blog and there more to life then being on any of electronic advice. But I try to share my blog, three social net work places. This month I will be sharing with Pinterest which I haven't been on for ages. Then the other two will be Facebook directly and twitter though Network blog.

 Now for the weather and my walking.

I use pedometer and I didn't think I would of done as well as I did. But though month of December I walk 31 miles. (49 Kilometers) If actual I was walking south down 95 I would be in about the town of POTLATCH 

 The warmest day was on December 21 and it got up to 41 (5 Celsius)

The coldest day was on December 17 and it got down to -11 (-23 Celsius)

The average high 28 (-2) and average low (-10 Celsius)

Welcome 2017 and coffee is on   

2016 Under The Bridge Almost.

We're one of tail end to celebrate watching the new year coming in. The time zone I'm in is called Pacific time zone.

This year been some what interesting. Some ups and downs. Since the election of President Trump here in United States and both of the house in Republican hands.

Things might be interesting....Confession time...I'm a little worry with our up coming President...and wish we weren't as powerful as nation.

Not saying I want us to fail as a country.

Since I had the day off and had chance to toss Daisy ball a little more often today.

She still wearing her hood. She going into the vet to have her bump taken off Wednesday. Not sure of the cost but I might have to take some out of GO FUND ME ACCOUNT Remember I match all donation.

She likes playing with her new Christmas Toy. The Cat in the hat.

Rest of the fur balls are doing fine. Ziggy and Abner.

Couple load of clothing and also wash part the fur babies bedding.

Murphy and I did a little work on the roof. I held the latter as he made dike for water to run down. There two area on roof that cause ice jams.

Yesterday I went to our pagan general meeting. We try to celebrate all the SABBATS Once month we try to meet at one local coffee shop or bars for bull shit section.

But if the snow holds we're looking at having a sledding party I believe around mid month. With chili and stew. I said we would furnish the corn bread.

And also with bon fire and all the things go with a bond fire.

Went to our local Library and checked out a book by Charles Dickens. PICKWICK PAPERS Confession time...The story (Christmas Carol) of reform miser has more meaning to me then the birth of babe manger.

If you recall that Ebeneezer Scrooge kept the meaning of Christmas all year...”Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world. Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh, and little heeded them; for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have the malady in less attractive forms. His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him.”

Today my anxiety been fairly mellow. But I notice when my anxiety raises it ugly self. My eating gets out of control.

I will stuff my stuff my mouth of food and it seem the anxiety part of my brain calms down.

I need to find something I can do when I feel high strung.

My mom side seem to be this way...If you every watch them they have to be busy doing something.

Most of them never sit.

Since it New Year Eve Murphy got a little Lobster tail to nibble on

No New Year Resolution for me in 2017. Hopeful I can keep moving forward on 2016 goals. Like having a yard sale this up coming year.

Now for my three prediction for the up coming 2017... . In March most people will have slight increase in there utilities....There going to be some type of housing change for the good....There will be less things tossed out. Question time...What are some of your prediction for 2017?

Some one told me Shit will happen this up coming year.

2016 Has Only 2 Days Left

Still haven't made any New Year Resolution for 2017. Yesterday I did remember to take my camera to take some photos of Deep Creek Loop. My client Liz down by creek.
So I thought I would post some photo among today posting.

 Breakfast....sausage, eggs, and potatoes.
Lunch...nothing
Dinner...pork chops, green salad, and Mac Cheese.
Naughty food...Cookies (3) and candy bar.

Regis my other client been using our local cable company. Never missed a payment he been with them around 10 years.
The channel what he and other was to get in the packages, wasn't available. Charging full fare.
Usual satellite and cable television usual offers three size package. Small, medium, and large for a certain amount.
Well Regis wasn't getting what he was paying for. So he been asking if he could pay only part of the bill until they could resolve the problem. So over the time they had no trouble with this arrangement.
Today it became some what ugly.
He gave them the money for part of his cable plan. And lady told him that he owed $60 for back bill. He said I been calling about the channels I'm not getting.
They been telling everyone that they need to line up some receiver to the satellite. This excusses been going for months.
So there going to turn off his cable.
This is what bother me about whole thing. Regis said maybe you should call the police. Editor Note...The location of this business the sheriff department would handle it.
That once the sheriff came they would take the cable company because they have money.

Been spending a little time on tread mill. Which help me with my anxiety. The items I worry about there nothing I can do about it.
General what I'm affraid of what my emotional state my become.

Murphy did some snow removal and went to the dump today. Not sure if he brought any fire wood.

Still doing Daisy go fund me account. There is a link on  right hand side called "Daisy Teeth Cleaning"

Stop in at my friend Alice to see if she still interested in the quilting class in Troy. She said she was. It would be nice to find anther person to go. Split the gas three ways and each of us would pay $4.00 for the gas.
Or if it just Alice and I it will be $6.00 each. Still not bad.
But with Trump becoming President and world events things could get crazy.

Exchange

Hubby and I went into Bonners Ferry to exchange our gifts we got each other. None of our gifts fit us. All to small.
We both got each other slippers. Now mine can be toss into the trash can. But I bought two gifts, jeans. And they were also wrong size?

One of the reason I made my sons and there wives locker hook trivets. They do come in handy. I want to try my a rug for each of there kitchen.

Know the design I want. The size they'll be done in 36 by 20 inches (0.9 M by (0.5 M) What I don't know is color scheme or who will get what.

Rag rug is coming a long nicely. This weekend either Saturday or Sunday Murphy and I will be going up to Qunella. Not sure if I will have it done or not. Well I can't make up my mine that I will take it up and show it to her. So close for having it done.

Was please with my home scales. Under 220 (99.7 Kilogram) But our first weigh in for new year will be the 3rd.
Breakfast. Grill cheese sandwich.
Lunch. chicken fried steak and green salad. some type of fruit dressing
Dinner. London broil, bake potato with roquefort dressing, and chard.
Naughty food...a few piece of chocolate, and ice cream cone.

Did get a little time on the tread mill and went out three times. Toss the ball 4 times each for Daisy. A total of 12.

Murphy got result from his blood draw. His glucose count was up to 140. He think he watches how much carbs he eats. But I shouldn't say to much. Compare most of my clients I taken care of we're health nuts.
Only one clients I every made salad for. And that was for Donna.

I'm trying to find five new people to donate $5.00 to Daisy's' fund. You can follow the links from this POST. Please remember I'm not looking for a free ride. I've match all so far.

Coffee is on.

Now It All Coming Together

I'm always a little nervous when it comes to doing anything with computers. I did get the issue fix my window or what ever it called. It was slow opening.
Looks like it fix.
I won't repeat my self about Yesterday post. But I'm still looking for five new donors for Daisy. READ POST HERE.

Christmas went well and I'm always so glad when it is over. We went over to the BIG HORN LODGE and celebrate with my son Bart in-laws.
The place is on the Bull river.

Let me tell you Montana sure maintain there roads different then Idaho. We over here puts on deicers on our highway.
So until we went Montana state line. The roads was clear and soon as we cross over to Montana it came snow packed roads.
Drove slower.

Couldn't tell what I all got for Christmas. Here is good one. I send my daughter in law Betty good seamstress scissors for Christmas. She send me the same thing.
But Our first grand child got plenty. She just laugh when jack n box job out.

One thing we took a walk down to the river. Bart in-law owns a company that manufacturer of light weight camping furniture.
There expanding in to wider market. So 6 of us hike down to look at new set up.

Usual Tuesday we weigh in at our local T.O.P.S . This morning the snow was coming down to beat the drum.
So weigh in was canceled. Usual I don't look forward getting on scales. But since this would been our last weigh in and end of year report goes in. So I and anther lady weigh our members once a week.
This morning I was down a bit and I was hoping for a little lighter weigh in.
Instead of gaining 3 pounds (1.3) My gain would of been a lot less.
As group we gain 10.75 pounds (4.8) we average 1 pound gain (.045)
One of our member lost I believe was 12 pounds (5.4)
Shortly after all the weight lost sheets arrives at head quarter we will know more of the facts.

New Year is coming up. I keep wanting to make New Year Resolution. I'm trying not to real hard. I know there always room for improvement.
One New Year resolution I should stop worrying. But I lack the tools when it comes to general worry.
I don't say much what worry about. No one like to listen to a complainer. Why would any one want to listen to my worries.
Believe me I worry about a lot of things.

Holiday Letter 2016

When I was young I wrote Santa Clause letter. Saw this yesterday morning (December 23) news. I would like to share....Please watch the video a letter to Santa from TEN YEAR OLD GIRL 

Question time...If you wrote a letter to Father Christmas what would it say....

Dear St Nick

It been a while since I wrote to you. Now I'm older, have a family of my own. Thought I would write you a letter of possible want this Christmas.

But to be honest I can't think of anything I real want or need. Although I made a short list for my husband. Had horrible time thinking of 5 items I could use or want.

Sure at times I have trouble having hope. I worry about our future and I know worrying doesn't help one bit.

My health is generally good. But a little more exercise and less junk food would be a move in the right direction.

When troubles brew at times I do loose my faith. I find my self in disappearing thoughts of lost.

I find it sad when “joy” is lacking in people life.

As for all human kind I wish all “good will”

When 2017 comes I hope all bring tiding of gladness.

The only one thing I would like to have a ceramic studio when I become sixty nothing fancying. One in our basement would be fine.

For the rest I would like everyone to have a good health. Those who need a little joy in there life. I wish you could sprinkle some on them when you fly by.

Dora

Wishing all a bright and blessed Holiday...Next post will be after Christmas.

Maybe I Got A Plan

One thing I did today was read my cards. I like to do it four times a year...spring, summer, fall, and winter. Or when I feel there is a need to

I been trying to figure out how I could possible do the ceramic shop. I have about 2,000 molds. My ideal was to draw spousal benefits from our SOCIAL SECURITY which would be half of my husbands.
Cut my hours with my client to 12 hours a week, and do the shop. Well the rules change about spousal benefits. It use to be you could work and take your spousal benefits, still pay into your social security account.
As of January 1 of this year. They change the rules to...when someone is drawing spousal benefits one can not work and pay into there count.
So much for that ideal.

Now here is my new plans my clients are easy. Instead of cutting down to 12 hours a week. I will cut down to 18 hours a week, about short time after I turn 60. At this point it looks like when I turn 63 and quarter I could possible go down to 12 hours week.
Sad to say my full retirement age will be 67 years old and I can draw my full benefits. Which isn't going to be anything grand.
The max one can draw is $2,663 and the average is $1,328. I'll below the average.

For me (You) when did my cards I got Three of pentacles. I believe I'm or we're moving in right directions. Confession time..At times I feel like things aren't moving as they need to.
One thing I know we need to look into this late spring is there a drip on the house. There a full basement with concrete floors and such. Well it needs to be check out hopeful it not some type of sink hole developing. I guess there been a few in my STATE. Closes two would be in Postfalls and Hayden.
Although the drip isn't real loud. I don't know if that a good thing or not.

Now for my past the Queen pentacles. Trustworthy and Resourcefulness is two things I've always tried to do and will continue to do it.
Confession it bothers me when the world won't expect total honestly. Like on my job if I wrote on my progress report that "Clients and I went out for cup of coffee" They would possible cut there hours back. Or any hint of enjoyment, happiness, or positive words.
I believe they do a lot better if they have an opportunity to be out and about. Not just medical type of stuff, and clean.
I try to take my clients out once a week.
I was some what disappointment when first heard of how they change the spousal benefits. But I know there more then one way to get from point A to B and not causing all that much trouble. To me there not much sit in stone. It good thing pencils  have erasers.

What is possible to come...Four pentacles is some what I'm having trouble with. I don't know why controlling people bothers me.
For some reason this card came up which represents possessiveness, control, and blocking change.
If one doesn't have boundaries in there life one will get walk on.
Regis can be mooch and if you don't set some type of boundaries with him. You will hear from him...Can you get me______. Like everyone works has an unlimited bank account

Eating went a lot better. I been doing a little bit of time on the thread mill. It helps when I wear my pedometer. It sort of makes me move more.
They say one should keep a food journal and one less likely to eat. Sort of like embarrassing one self.
Breakfast smokies, ambrosia salad, and greek salad.
Lunch I went over to the Methodist free lunch. Some type of ham and potatoes casserole, corn, and green salad.
Dinner Chicken burrito.
Naughty food. stolen, and cookies.

Thinking about trying to get 5 new people to donated to Daisy teeth cleaning between Christmas and New Years. As for now if any one want to donated to my go fund page it on the right hand side of my blog..."Daisy Teeth Cleaning"

About ready to start my gold section on the crochet rag rug I been working on. Still need to cut a few more fabrics of red and make them into balls of fabrics.

Remember I was saying that I want to go over to Troy Montana to do a quilting class. Actual I want to find one closer.
So after lunch I went into one of our local fabric shop. And ask her if she would consider teaching a beginning quilting classes.
I don't want to drive or go over to Troy every week for ten weeks. The class is $20 and I'm not gripping about that. If there five us who goes and at five bucks each it cover the gas. Not counting the cost of fabric it will run each of us about $70.00
But she resent got a divorce and now lives in a two bed room place with no working studio. I suggest she looks into about using our county extension office.
It would be great relief if I didn't have to drive over to Troy.

Who's Grandpa

The other day I ask on my face book page....Question time....What is your grandpa given name? Mine were Edgar and Clarence. I knew both of my Grandpas and have very fund memories of both of them.
Some interesting name and one lady grandpa name was Crit. A name I never heard of before.

All went well when I took Regis down to get his shot of STEROID in his hip joint. Then we went over to foster crossing to get his wallet.
All the money was in there. So now he can send a package to his son down in PRESTON IDAHO They won't get by Christmas but it will arrive before New Year.

Then I went over to our county extension office to see about if they knew of..."beginning quilting classes" Zero Zippo. So they suggest me to try the local fabric stores. Didn't have the time. I know there in Troy Montana though there school district. I just not looking forward of traveling 34 miles one way or round trip 68 miles.
I know two other people interested and me. Would like to find two more to car pool, and then the cost would be $5.00 a person. Class is $20.00 and for that you get 30 hours of instruction.
It seem strange that our community doesn't having a quilting organization of some type. We have five fabric stores here in our community.
As for such a friendly area. It seem strange we don't offer much as for social events. But everyone at the local store or stop in at any coffee shop we here will talk and socialize. Or I will say more then 75% of people will smile.
But to me when it comes to any sort of social organization they seem like there trying to pry in to your personal space.
Question time....Could they be a disorder for Paranoia of social organization.

I went over with Regis to there group and we had Christmas dinner. Very good. I got some Greek salad and Ambrosia salads.
Well there been over $350 raise for Daisy teeth. Check the right hand side of the blog "Daisy Teeth Cleaning" and still need to match the last $25.00.

There a thing on NOVA and it to be on NOAHS ARK.

Just Can't Get Rid Of it

Took Regis over to his speech. As he was there I went into the hospital cafeteria, and had a bowl of DILL PICKLE SOUP. The price was reasonable $2.00.
 As I ate and couldn't decided how I felt about the taste. The jury was out! Time I was finish with Regis and headed of to a little shopping for Murphy and I. The dill pickle flavor just lingered a little to long for my liking.

Slowly getting rid of my Christmas Package, and cards. As for the cards I did plenty up earlier. Yesterday Monday I sent my oldest package down to Medford Oregon.
Confession time...One time I mail a package to my son for his birthday and the shipping was more then the gift.
I stood there with mouth open. 
Took Regis, Liz and her son there gifts.
Yesterday I took a few small gifts for little boy who lives in the other building next to Liz.

Now finish up the Christmas Cards. I drop some off at the post office in Naples. Still have a few more cards to do.
One thing I can't stand is those yearly Christmas letter. How wonderful everyone life is. I got a few that I almost want to vomit.
I use to add my annual weather report.

I just start on my brown section of my rag rug. Haven't heard anything about the family Christmas gathering.
If we don't hear anything I just might give it to Quenella for her home.  Thinking about going up on Katka to visit between Christmas and the first of the year.

Murphy back is bothering him. Well he going in for his physical on Wednesday. I have to take Regis to the pain clinic for some shots.
Good thing FOSTER CROSSING called and someone found the wallet he lost.
As he taking care of his business at doctor office. I'll run over to and get his wallet.
As Murphy in the doctor hopeful they will get an x ray or something of his back.

Well after Regis and I get back he going to what some call group or club house. I'll be guess of Liz and Regis. I call it the federation from STAR TREK.

On the right hand side of my blog under "Things to Click on"...."Daisy Teeth Cleaning" If someone would be kind enough to donated $13.50 I will match it and it will bring it up to $325.00.

Well one thing between jobs I went home. Had chance to toss the ball for Daisy down our road. The road got plow out and it wasn't so bitterly cold.

Last little bit. Weigh in and our weight lost group. No one lost weight but one of the ladies held her weight.
Which he call turtle. I was up a pound.
