Bet your bottom dollar, there will be sun.
Yes and I get to see my doctor Early. I may just stay in town so if you get no calls or updates, do not be surprised.
Then more sunshine needed on Monday as I have my ear checked for a little cancer cell.
I told Rosie, That is OK, All I need my ear for is to hold my glasses on.
Oh Yes!! my do not enter sign is still on the door.
I am so unsociable at times, David just laughs at me.
Hey it keeps the JWs away. They are great people and I do respect them but please do not knock on my door when I am resting.
I will be nice or I will just look at the door and hide in a corner, so I figure putting my sign out is the nicest way to avoid detection or is that deception?
Tired so I am making secret rolls and David can cook his hamburger meat and I will eat rolls and PB and Syrup.
That is all I want anyway.
That and water.
"The Lord is my Shepherd I Shall Not want, He maketh me to lie down in Green Pastures, He leadeth me beside the stillwaters. Psalms 23:1-2 Manzanita Lake, Lassen Park, 2010

Did you Know
If you are easily freaked out by blood do not read the attached post.
If you cut your finger on a piece of light bulb in your refrigerator, it takes forever to stop bleeding? My Son Charles informed me they put something in the bulbs to act as an anti-coagulant?
I never knew that but add that to my medicinal anti coagulant and you have problems.
Today I am afraid to remove the bandage as it will open up again, I soaked two paper towels, dripped blood all over everything, wrapped in band aids the blood oozed out the end of my finger to whatever I touched. David was asking me to go get it sewn. NOPE I Was NOT.
I finally wrapped it in heavy gauze and two band aids and wrapped the entire mess in scotch Tape. LOL I guess I should have used duct tape.
But my good news is better.
My refrigerator is repaired at only 70 dollars., Thank God.
It was the override switch, Tony from H and H Maytag had received several replacement parts because apparently there was a recall.
It so happens my refer was not part of the recall but used the same override switch. Can you imagine that?
Tony, Whom I have known since he was 19,( loading steer manure at Wards,) then training to be a repair technician, is always my choice of appliance repairman. He owns H and H Appliance Repair.
I said, "Tony I Love you, you just made my day, my week, my year. "
I was so afraid a new Refrigerator was in the making.
After a day of heating up my fridge had a closed up odor. Tony told me to wad up newspaper and place in fridge.
It worked!!! My refrigerator smells New.
Now I have to fill it again, It is lonesome, with only a half gallon of milk in the door. But it is clean and smells good. I lost everything that has to be refrigerated. Milk, creamer, juice, lots of greens, bacon, sandwich ham, cheese, Eggs, Mayo, Just to name a few.
But as I told Gwena, I try to not worry about what I can not control, It only makes me worry more. And I cant fix the problem. So why does worry do? Nothing.
Stressful, Yes it was stressful.
So yesterday as I was trying to keep my hand raised above my heart I would tell David,
"I am sitting her Praising the Lord" (get it hand raised to the heavens?)
And in effect I was asking for help on the cost of the expenses.
So prayers do get answered, in ways we never know is coming.
Thank You God for the repair instead of replacement.

On My Way
Today I go to Red Bluff with my Friend, Gwena. She is having stitches removed from her knee from surgery. She is doing great. She is driving, so I hope she is doing Great. I am just the tag a long.
(Girl scout cookie time)
I also have to stop at Copy Center and turn books in for David.
I will also look at Carmonas scratch and dent store for a fridge.
I ,of course will call to see if mine is repairable.
It is definitely out. Has the closed up fridge smell.
Milk is sweating so today I get to throw all my food away.
Too late to freeze the milk it has already reached the too warm temp. I don't want poisoned.
It keeps clicking like the compressor is trying to come on. Maybe just maybe it will need a switch. That would be nice but let me tell you, DO NOT BUY A MAYTAG Refrigerator. Washers are Great, Fridges are NOT So much,
Nothing but problems since we bought this one.
Always something, ALWAYS.
Then to add to issues. On Saturday one of my teeth fell out. Just fell out. What is that about???
Radiation or poor hygiene. Not that at all. I think it is Western Dental.
Poor cleaning and unaware of problems looming. Which reminds me I have to call them.
Maybe I am falling apart, beginning with the mouth. (most used, most likely to wear out first)
I am thinking super glue.
Actually I am NOT thinking at all, I do not want to think. I am too tired to think.
I want to go back to sleep today, If I go to sleep all the problems will go away.
Won't they???
Isn't that the way it works? You sleep the problems solve while you are sleeping. Works for me. At least I do not have to think about them.

How Much Do I Love Thee
I admit, I have to be difficult to live with. I Have to be as I talk a lot, as in sometime do not shut up. Today is one of those days. I talked to anyone that had time or would listen. Lab techs, Lab runners, People in the lab, as in patients. At the grocery store when an elderly lady could not figure out how to reverse her cart. No one was helping, It took me all of a few seconds to walk over and assist.
I think my sisters have figured I have days like that. (no phone answer today) Kidding!!!
So today as I am on one of my rants, (about Slavery). I am spouting information left and right and I am passionate about it.
Suddenly I stopped and apologized for being SO SO Hard to live with at times.
David said, "If you are so hard to live with, Why have I stayed with you 48 years?"
That answer took me about 15 seconds.
Sound EFX,
Silence, Crickets Chirping, Dead Silence, (from me)
""Because
I
AM
Sexy!!!.""
He grabbed me and laughed and said "you know what that makes me think of?"
I said, "No"
Again Silence, Dead silence, except him jogging his memory, (as his brain rattled)
He thought and thought for at least 30 seconds and finally said " I guess I don't know either, then , "That Lady on Golden Girls, Rue McClanahan"
Yep never heard that before!!! Like a LOT for the last 32 years.

WRONG
My doctors office called me earlier to say, "Sue your test are good, You go in tomorrow for the radiation Treatment."
I was so happy to have that turn out right, I know I have avoided Iodine like the plague.
Then the phone rang.
"Sue the lab ran the wrong test yesterday, I need you in today for another test. Go to our lab downstairs."
How can a test be so wrong? Well let me tell you, I should have known when I asked about one of the test reasons,.
First Clue he was Clueless.
He said he had to look it up.
Triglycerides!!
I asked why that, he then said, It shows all the levels of vitamins and minerals in your body.
That was reasonable to me, after all my body does not produce like it would, were I normal.
TG is NOT triglycerides.
It is Thyro Globulin. A test for minute cells of cancer in your body.
Oh my!!!! And they got it wrong last year too and the year before.
Dr A. was so angry at them and he even went as far as to call the lab and tell them. I in turn received an apology.
But guess what? It was too late to rerun the test because I had radioactive Iodine in my body and nothing would be accurate.
So this is the first year I have the test ran properly.
Yes I just returned from town, Having had another blood draw.
Nothing like 4 or more trips to town in a week to mess up my gasoline trend. I try to use very little and besides that, I don't like going to town.
So my gripe is over for NOW.
I need to get up and make bread. Bread to go with the fantastic soup I made last night.
Yep left overs again. But I am not a soup maker but that hit the spot.
I usually do not like soups I make, they seem wrong or bland or something.
However yesterday I boiled two chicken breasts, boneless skinless breasts. Sounds like not a lot of flavor.
I then shredded the breasts, added potatoes, onions, celery and Ms. Dash. I actually ate two bowls and David ate three.
I guess we were hungry for Something different.
I have left overs and tonight they will be accompanied by Home Made Rolls. (Which are turning out to be pretty good tasting) Even though they have no dairy.
Made with Hot water. It reminded me of the bread I made as a teen. I would get home from school, ask Mama if I could make rolls, She Always said, "YES"
I then used a quart of hot water, yeast, flour, salt and sugar. That's it.
I just remember the quart of Hot Water. I am sure,we used that much water to make the bread go further as we had a house full to feed, (today I use 1 3/4 cup)
and they were great, I can almost smell them now.
I can still hear Harold coming in the door asking, "Do I smell Yeast Rolls?"
He could smell them when he drove into the yard.
Wow!!! Sweet Memories.
And Yes I can still have the iodine therapy. YEA!!!!

Sleep
Today and Yesterday was mostly spent sitting.
I was so tired last night, I could not sleep when bedtime came.
Anyway I fixed that problem today. When I woke, I lay an hour and we talked and laughed. (That is once I was awake)
I got up and made coffee and flapjacks, Guess what? Suddenly I was so tired I had to lie back down,
I looked at the clock and it was 1 pm already. What time did I get up?
1030 or so.
That is badddddddd.
However I did make dinner yesterday, Stew and homemade rolls.
I also made an apple crisp.
There was enough for today and tomorrow. All we do is warm it up and eat. I am also eating hand fulls of cherry tomatoes and eating Oranges bananas, and apples.
I need to move more than I do, but when the mind is willing and the body weak, You have to follow your best feelings, and do what you can.
Rosie asked, "How do you feel today"
I said, "You know that brown stuff behind horses? Well that is how I feel"
Anyway I can do this, It is hard at times, food is getting better but the body aches are increasing, Every day, it Seems I have a new place to ache.
David is loving it, (not the pain, but me not finding work for him)
He is just sitting most of the time he is off and
watching
Watching,
Watching
Ready for this?
"24"
Third time now. He has NEVER liked reruns, but we have this on CD and he is hooked. We have 8 seasons of it.
Each season takes 24 hours but when the commercials are taken out. you take away at least 480 minutes or 8 hours.
So he gets 16 hours watching one season.
I do not mind, I am just not into it right now and he watches it when I rest.
And I do admit, I love 24 also, It is engrossing and tense and at times sends the stress levels over the edge. But we love it and I think Keifer Sutherland is amazing.
He and Johnny Depp are both a couple of my favorites. Depp, is so versatile. He amazes me. He does not refuse anything that may look stupid or out of his character. Why? he has set himself in no certain character. I like that.
I also love the actor Sean Penn has become. He too is versatile and dramatic.
all have won Oscars. Oscars they deserve.
Now if I could just get my eye liner on like Depp does.
Pardon the photo, I thought you would want to see me as I really am.
OK my face is puffy. I know that. My eyes are mostly closed. If you saw the entire photo, you would see several spare tires. LOL
Hair? we wont even go there. Not sure what I am doing with it, but for now it grows.
Two years ago I sent one to Jeanette of me smiling. She called and laughed and laughed.
"Sue that is not smiling, that is some sad looking smile"
I told her "I really am smiling."
That was right after getting out of the hospital from the second surgery.
We could laugh about it. Not laughing a lot this year.
I LOOK like my Mama. OH MY. That is OK she was soft and pink. I will get there.
Lord I should erase that but I didn't.
My Face looks horrible, I will be so glad when the bloat goes away.
I am staying in and letting no one see me. LOL
