Sunday happenings...

first, I would like to report a decapitation...

the chocolate easter bunny for decoration only, was taken down in the night...

and, sadly...

not only did he lose his head, but his ears went first...

that explains worn out kitties and an empty food bowl...

such a different day here today...

60F yesterday and freezing today with high winds...

the corn husks are blowing in from the field...

they are all over the yard...

good thing you can mow them...

I am up to 3 of the juncos today!

and I would like to also report a near drowning...

Raggedy tried to surf the water bowl and wiped out...

shivering, she had no problems with the hair dryer...

and she is now her old fluffing self and I hope a bit wiser...

staying home and in today...

major clean on the living room...

made semi home made spaghetti sauce and had a great lunch...

laundry is still going...

dishes are all done...

prep work on the next meal is done...

crystal light made again...

and I used my new floor steamer just a bit ago...

oh, I will so never mop again...

I can do it...

even sitting down if I want...

it worked wonderfully without scrubbing, and the floor was really bad...

if you don't have one, get one...

I got a dirt devil with a triangular head to get into corners and it is awesome...

done in less than 10 minutes...

I am so impressed with it!

been doing little things and puttering around...

but I think its finally time for a nap...

I just can't believe how busy we have all been today...

DH is already napping...

Craig's in his room on his computer...

all the animals are asleep...

have a fun night...

;)

been there, done that...

well, the EZ Clinic wouldn't do anything about the blood sugar, so DH went one way and I got pushed to the ER...

but I did get to watch tv in there...

HGTV with Scott of Income Property....

took all morning...

but got my antibiotics and the metformin...

thank you, Dr Ernest!

neither one of us had had anything to eat yet and it was after 12...

so what could I eat with my blood sugar over 200?

we got fish sandwiches and I tossed the bun...

plain...

but it worked...

we had dropped off the scripts at Walmart before coming here...

knowing they take a long time...

then we ate in the Kroger parking lot...

then we shopped...

I rode in one of those carts and it had a big basket on it...

we got everything in it without DH having to try to push a cart one handed...

this old station is on the edge of town...

they sell 'anitques'...

my friends have told me not to bother even stopping...

that none of us can afford the prices...

and from the outside stuff...

I think they are right when they say its a junk pile...

they were cleaning it up today...

you should have seen it before...

I imagine the city got on them about it...

imagine 20 times more crap out there...

day and night, year after year...

not pretty...

so, I have taken a metformin and just waiting for it to kick in...

DH got antibiotics and cough medicine with codeine...

Dr Ernest thinks its just the infection, too and will drop back down as soon as the meds kick in...

about 3 days from now...

;)

see, I went...

I love it when my blogging buddies chew me out!

it means you care!

Love you all!

it was a ruffled feather kind of a day...

old yeller...

in trouble...

curtain climber, basket shredder...

our funky squirrel...

lounging...

going down again...

rusted metal through naked limbs...

I love this guy...

pretty...

and cranky today...

ruffled up a bit...

even the robins, and I counted 3 today...

males fighting over a girl again...

even had the cardinals flapping it out...

he won...

and this is my secret disgrace...

shhhhh....

don't tell...

its Craig's flower bed....

and his dinosaur...

when he outgrew him in his room, he wanted to put him out here...

I said ok, until he falls apart, then he has to go...

this stegosaurus has lasted longer than the original version...

that thing has been out there at least a dozen years or better...

just be careful what you promise a kid...

it could bite you on the butt for years...

my blood sugar isn't dropping much...

so, talked to my cousin tonight...

its the infection...

we are going to the clinic in the morning...

the metformin I have is 2 years old and doesn't work anymore...

so I need new of that...

and antibiotics...

then I should be back to normal within a week or two...

DH cannot push me and Craig has to work, so someone there is just going to have to help us get in and out...

we could get snow and ice on Sunday...

cannot not go this weekend....

I will post when we get back...

and let you know what happened...

;)

afternoon birds and shadows...

good morning...

had some visitors yesterday afternoon...

3 crows dropped by briefly...

they are a noisy bird...

and then the snow birds came with a new one...

and they fight over those feeding holes...

such a frenzy going on out there...

and the doves with the new one...

its very tiny, as small as the snowbirds...

maybe a little smaller...

and I have no idea what it is...

UPDATE:   its a dark eyed junco- another little sparrow

a new on for here...

and the shadows came as the sun started down...

we had a new bag of bird feed to open...

so I transferred it to a big plastic jug as DH went to fill up the feeders...

we wore our hoodies...

it wasn't as warm as it had been...

a new male cardinal...

he is very small, too...

either born very late last year or through the winter...

we had some 60s-70s in December...

either way, lucky to have made it through the nasty winter...

got up at 2:30 this morning...

I did not feel right...

so I tested my blood...

been checking it ever since...

I am running between 276 and 318...

I cannot do dairy, lactose thing...

but it also jacks up my blood sugar...

normally carry low blood sugar...

I have been having some major tummy troubles taking all this cold medicine...

so I got some yogurt to get things normal again...

and I have been doing 2 a day...

and lots of juice...

and peanut butter for some reason...

if the Type 2 was back, what I ate before bed last night would have killed me...

so I am not worried about that...

just will take today to get it in a normal range...

prayers are welcome that it does it before noon...

;)

I so wasn't paying attention in class!

after all of that stuff that we got the night before melted...

this started happening again...

and this is what we had before it got dark...

surprised me!

I have the dunce cap on and I am sitting in the corner today...

I am home alone again today, so trying to work on some individual shots of the birds this morning...

he is a very young one...

and they all seem to get along together...

but this morning, I spotted a bit of orange...

oriole...

got a pair...

and after the starlings head to another part of the neighborhood, the snow birds come back...

I do like the feeder closer...

its about 15 feet nearer to the kitchen window now...

got to get these shots in before it warms up...

the cats will be out there when that happens and not so many birds...

I made time this morning to clean out some of my drawers...

so when the mood strikes me, I can find stuff...

got a load of laundry in...

eating some soup right now...

cleaned off the desk, the printer and the book cases...

dried off one of the babies...

he was playing duck in the water bowl...

so we talked about the differences between a duck and a cat while I towel dried little feet and a round belly...

Craig named him waffles, so maybe he heard waddles and just assumed?

maybe a no swimming sign above the water bowl...

I actually think he was embarrassed when he did it...

the others were sitting there watching and gave him the look of  'hey, dude, that's not right'...

and he took off and hid...

someone is sniffing my toes...

got my flip flops on...

and not sure if I told you or not...

but I did shave my legs last week...

donated it to locks of love...

no more gorilla legs!

;)
