We Got Snow.....

Woke up this morning to snow. Now since we had a hose bust in the hot water tank, I have to go to the bath-house to take a shower in the morning... Usually since it's so early I will run across in my Winnie-The-Pooh Lime Greeen Jammies... (which I may say I look adorable in).... Today, I ran across the dock quickly to get out of the snow. At least with the snow it was warmer.... Notice in the 1st picture that one vehicle is started and getting warm while the other was still unstarted and waiting for me to quit taking photos. Yup he did that to me.. he started HIS but not Mine...

But that's ok.. He has leather seats in his, which are cold as snot in the mornings... I know this for a fact cause usually I am the one starting the vehicles to get them warmed up while he walks the dog..

In case you were wondering, we got about an inch - school didn't close (they close them if they have fog, but not snow???)

Wednesday night we are off to Daytona for The Turkey Run car show. Its gonna be in the 40's here or 70's there, so yeah, me and boodles are going too.... I am off Thrusday and Friday so we thought that we would go with him. Shell is going to a friends, Nicole and Neal are heading to Charlotte, so there is no one to cook for us..... And since they still refer to my Turkey Dinner as Birdzilla, I won't cook on Turkey Day...

Hopefully the car sells the 1st day, and we can go to Disney World... Poochie will have to go to doggy day care there for the day... Since he won't leave her at the doggy day care here for a few days.

I am still taking Chantix to quit smoking.... it's making me so sick... I feel like throwing up all the time. But the good news is... It is working for me. Its not too bad, but still uncomfortable feeling.

A boo-boo

Hey, It's not me with the Boo-Boo... It's Him this time.

I had the day off yesterday, Tom decided (well he was forced) to take the day off today. He was unable to go out in the sun and had to stay in a dark place all day.

Yesterday he was welding and got welder's burn in his eyes. he woke me up at 11ish to go to the store to get him a potato for his eyes. They did really look bad. Of course the store was closed but they were still up there, so they told me I could have it free if I could spell potato correctly, and not the Dan Quail way.... The potato costed me 59 cents.

So 11:15pm he's back to sleeping and snoring, I on the other hand was up till 2am cause I couldn't go back to sleep...

So him and the dog stayed home all day I came home for lunch and put the dog out and she stayed outside till Tyler came home from school and brought her in for Tom.

His eyes are still red and swollen, so I don't know if he will be back to work tomorrow or not...

Ok I can't stand it- You know... His theory on why he got welder's flash in his eyes? It isn't the obvious answer - which is he didn't have the helmet on while welding.... (which a pretty accurate guess would be that would be the ONLY reason you get welders flash)..

His reason? He got new glasses on Monday, and they magnified the light from welding.... WTF?

Now can you even wear glasses under a welding helmet? I honestly can't remember, but damn he was home all day, he had time to think of a better reason than that one.

Anyhow he's back sleeping. I'm learning if I feed him good he will fall asleep early and stay out of my hair for the night. Since it's getting dark earlier it's boring at nights anymore. It's dark by the time I get home at 6pm and that really sucks. But the last thing that i need is him bothering me all night. Actually by 9pm we are both usually asleep.

He still hasn't decided if he is going to go to Florida over Turkey Day for the Car show there. I'm off 5 days, and could go with him. I don't think the car will sell till probably Spring. There is a car show in Raleigh this weekend, but it's $100 to get the car in the car corral and they only have about 5000 over the weekend.... That's pretty expensive for an Iffy time to sell a car.... So we don't know what we are going to do. I know he doesn't drive it much unlike the other cars that he owned. Me? Hell you know you he won't let me near it at all.

Quitting Smoking Day 1

Well it didn't happen yet. Still smoking but I did start my prescription of Chantix. So hopefully I will be smokefree in a few weeks. They say the side effects can cause you to have weird dreams.... But hell I had them when I quit smoking before so we will see. Besides I live with Tom and the dog, weird dreams and weird real life is the norm here.

I was peacefully sleeping when Tom woke me up because he needed a raw potato for his eyes. Seems he was welding again without that helmet on. Or for some reason he got welder's burn. Of course I didn't have any and had to walk to the store to get one. Now an hour later he's sleeping like a snoring baby, and I'm wide awake...

I went to the Dr's today. Gotta love small town doctors. I got my prescription to quit smoking, told him I thought I was a dietabetic, thought I would be getting a prescription for that too, but instead he said I was doing well without it - and to check back in a few weeks and update him on my progress....

HUH? that's it... your not going to give me information on it? set me up with a nutrition doctor? give me a blood test to see if I was telling you the truth? WTF...... I do need to go for blood work. Seems they don't do it in the office. You have to go to the Lab at the hospital. Which I will do Saturday Morning. The lab there is open 24/7. The Doctor office was a downstairs of an old house, they had exam rooms on the 1st and 2nd floor. They even gave someone a flu shot in the waiting room while I was waiting to see the doctor.... I didn't see the horse and buggy outside but I bet there was one for when he had to go on a house call.

The scale to weigh me on was a bathroom scale, they didn't take my tempature, they did take my blood pressure... I guess I am used to modern doctors that get all your vitals when you go in to visit. They do the blood work right there in the office... Hell my last doctor even had an x-ray machine there to take x-rays.

But I did get the prescription that I asked for. Thankfully I did my research before I went in, cause he didn't ask me any questions about my background, or health. The good news is I lost 27 pounds since Sept. I have been walking daily with a girl that I work with.

Tom got new glasses yesterday. He can finally see again. He broke his glasses about a week ago, and had to wear his old glasses that didn't have bi-focals. Of course somehow it ended up being my fault he broke them (?).. go figure,

He wasn't happy that he had to go to work today and I had the day off cause of Veterns day. But him and boodles left at their usual time. At least he didn't try to stick me with the dog today.

COOL PICTURE:

Some things you just couldn't make up on your own....

When we walk, we go past this store. Yes this is inside the building attached to the wall. It wasn't from a wreck, but done on purpose. Guess its for a tailgate party????? Not a clue why it is there, but it's pretty cool looking I guess.

The Weekend update

amazily on Halloween we didn't get one trick or treater...I told Tom to watch for the kids when they came out with their customes on but I dont think he did. I think he ate the candy instead.

Actually I guess that's ok, cause we were asleep early. Tom's been sick all week with the sniffles and he's been in bed about 7pm every night this week. He went to work every day but he has felt like crap all week... And CRABBY!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how crabby he has been.

Yesterday we went to vote. We've been registed for several years but never voted this year we decided to go vote. the process was really quite simple.

we had to go to a booth to vote, where they had a notice saying that you couldnt be on a cell phone while voting, but we both shared the booth, they said that was ok and that's where they sent us- your allowed to have more than one in the booth and chitchat and help each other but not talk on the phone...... go figure.... And we talked cause he broke his glasses and the old pair he has been wearing doesnt have bifocals, and he couldnt see...

The "I TOLD YOU SO" Moment

Tom worked on the boat all day... He changed out the battery wires, and everything the engibes wouldn't start.... And with gas being so low right now we wanted to go out and play.... He is sick, and crabby - so when i asked if the battery was dead, he got pissed....... Well to me when it clicks when your try to start it, it means dead batteries..... Two guys came over because witout the battery working we had no lights, can't flush the toilet.... They came to the conclusion that the battery was dead...... He changed battery and everything is fine..... Seems that men need other men to tell them what the wife already knew..

What would a post be without some kind of Kid Drama:

Right now it's like 4:45am on Sunday Morning. No usually I don't get up this early on weekends, even for the dog. But the cell phones ringing at 4.15am woke me up. Nurses don't care what time they call people from the ER room.... Shell is fine - seems her and her boyfriend attended a party last night where drinking was involved and he over drank. The nurse wouldn't tell me much more than that. Other than my daughter is ok and she found a cell phone and they're trying to get ahold of his family. Shell adds so much drama in one's life. This isn't the 1st time that the ER has called us in the middle of the night with her. At least shell and them were smart enough to have one person not drinking who had enough sense to take this person to the hospital. But she will still need to get the lecture when she sobers up.... no sense trying to talk to her now, she's not real sober herself right now.

Update: Shell's friend is fine he had alcohol poisioning. After they pumped his stomach and got the alcohol out of him, they released him several hours later. Still--- what a night.

Trying to find a doctor in HellTown.

I gota phone number from a girl at work for a doctor, I need refills on my medicine (back to weekend headaches)..... So I called them and they interviewed me then said they will call me back if they decide to take me as a patient????? its like WTF.... They want my records from my old doctor BEFORE i go there, needed my address, my employer name address, supervisors name, insurance information..... I'm like you know what - this may be a short interview for you, but I don't want you as a doctor...... So I'm off to search for another doctor. One that appriciates having patients.. I hate small towns... Espeically when everyone seems to be related to each other. They don't trust people from the outside. Till I find a doctor, It's advil to the rescue. Knowing my luck that would be the only doctor in town that takes my insurance, I will have to go to Virginia for a doctor.

What's on the adgenda for today? Tom is back to his batteries, I get to clean and finish my website that I started on Friday. Then its dinner with Boodles' adopted family. Seems she feels neglected at times and has a backup family just incase. They fish and she loves them to death. So we are going to dinner with them. Oh and shell did buy me a new camera, gotta load the software for it and download the pictures to the computer. it's been 2 weeks and I still haven't done that.... talk about a slacker....
