I finally called yesterday to get a much needed eye exam and they were taking appointments for the end of February.

Today they called and asked if I could come in Monday the 9th. Yay! I just love my eye doctor. The only thing I can find wrong with him is that he does not have to wear glasses. I don't think that is fair.

    Good evening y’all :)

    We had some bbq ribs and Cobb salad for supper, it was good and all free :greengrin:

    Of course I remember Erma, I enjoyed her writing :thumb: And see I’m not the only one who thinks you could write some interesting stuff ;)

    I know you’ll have a great time at Terry’s sisters house :)

    Good evening everyone!!

    I think a pig farm would be better than a shredder ;) Can’t even count on concrete shoes these days with global warming. I saw on the news all the bodies being found as the levels of Lake Mead fell. :shock: All joking aside, it’s terrible about the lake.
    Good evening Sara :wub:
    Ewww! That sounds terrible :(

    Some nights I read until I am sleepy and usually just drift off. Last night I couldn't do that and just kept reading off and on til it finally worked.

    Could have been the book too. About a girl that was abused by her uncle after her mother died. She escapes and starts a new life on a resort ranch. There is a writer that comes to stay there and she finally meets someone who makes her want to take her walls down. In the middle of the night, she gets a call from the friend that helped her and he tells her her uncle knows where she is and he is outside ready to take her away to somewhere else and she has to leave the man she just realized she was in love with.

    I'm sure they will find each other again and it will be a happy ending. I love happy endings. I've told you the whole story so far so there is no reason to read it. I'll let you know how it ends.

    I need to be at the gym early because like every other time, Terry says he will let me know what time he is going to pick me up. I finally got out of him that it would be the afternoon. That boy has not figured out that I need to know yet.

    Happy Friday (Fri-yay for Sara

    Good evening all :wub:

    Usually in bed now but I’m all fired up. Union nonsense. Too complicated to write out but let it be known. This is my first experience working under a union and I’m about ready to stop paying the stupid dues.

    I was so amped up, I cleaned my bathroom and washed all the handwash required dishes for the weekend. Hence I’m not in bed yet. :rolleyes:

    Rat2, you can’t leave us without a title….I would still read it, it sounds mighty interesting.

    We had those tator tot muffin cups for dinner. Yum!! I’m sure I’ve posted about them before but basically a cheeseburger in muffin form without the bun. Dh has been asking for them, so I obliged. Tomorrow they are going to the Sabres game, Sunday is kiddo’s first indoor soccer game.

    Spose I should hit the sack. Sweet dreams :wub:

    you can’t leave us without a title
    It was a two-book bundle I downloaded for free. I have two sites that I get all my books from. Last time I checked I had 817 books waiting on me. Not like I'm going to wake up and decide I'm not reading books anymore. heehee I have read for as long as I can remember. Of course, I used to climb up in a cherry tree to read and snack. Boy those days are gone.

    The books I am reading are He Found Me and the other one is He Saved Me. It is by Whitney Barbetti.

    As always, I had a wonderful time visiting Terry's sister and husband. They are so funny. It was 9:45 when we left and Terry was starving so he stopped at McDonald's and got us something to eat. I had a BigMac. Probably the first one I have had in over 30 years. Their french fries are still good. I would have preferred fresh and warm ones but hey, I was hungry too. I can't remember the last time I ate in the car going down the street. It felt weird. Now I know why I found old dried-up french fries under his seat when I dropped my Lifesaver candy.

    Morning everyone. I am sure today is Saturday because I just pulled the weights on the grandfather clock that dad used to do.

    Funny how I never hear it and it chimes every 15 minutes. I never even look at it for the time. It is definitely one of the things I will sell or give away. More than likely just give it away. There are lots of things I could sell but I do not want strangers coming into the house. I have gotten so I just don't trust anyone anymore and that is pretty sad if you think about it.

    It is a beautiful clock if you like that sort of stuff. I knew the man that made the clock and the dry sink (which is something else I need to unload). He did beautiful work. I helped take care of him also when he got sick and took him to his treatments to help his wife. She was my mother's best friend when I was growing up. He had a very rare disease called Merkel Cell Carcinoma. Even his dermatologist had never seen a case. All I know is, I hope I never see someone with that or have to change the bandages again for as long as I live.

    Oh boy, what is up with me this morning? I just made myself sad and that is a no-no. Boy, I can tell I tossed and turned all night and it is going to rain soon.

    On to happier things. Terry asked if I wanted to go shooting next week. Yay! That might not sound happier to some but I am looking forward to it. If I am going to carry, I want to feel comfortable and confident. For my concealed carry, they said it could take 45 days or longer. I am only on day 26. (you should know by now I have a list for everything) heehee I still have my first target displayed on my fridge. I need to add some more exciting things I do to it. Just like a small child, I am happy about the things that I have done and am going to do. I need to pull up my list and pick something else to conquer.

    I am going to finish my coffee and get to the gym. Who knows what I will end up doing today? heehee Y'all have a great day. :wub:

    I have gotten most of mine from BookGorilla and BookBub. Wonderful sites to get free books. I love me some free!
