it was all well and good until...

they found me...

I got plenty of help getting things done yesterday...

I was sorting out my mail cart...

and found some peonies petals from last year...

and my rose hips and some seeds...

so I grabbed the plastic containers that I have been saving...

but the sticky label stuff wouldn't come off all the way...

so I got into my drawers...

and covered it up...

that's a parsley flakes container...

and this one, too...

its a spice container...

and it has some seeds for this year...

one great thing about these containers, besides being able to see in them...

they have the shaker tops...

perfect for putting things in that might not be dried all the way...

just leave the flip top open until they do...

just shake them up every now and then...

while I was doing that, there was a commotion going on at my feet...

someone is trying to pounce on the kitty in the mirror...

and all of a sudden they have discovered the art of climbing me...

those are little claws in my leg...

I am so full of pin holes...

and while I was trying to photo all the happenings...

the camera cord was attacked...

who needs leprechauns making mischief when I have these?

and all that hard play just wore them out...

sleeping standing up...

and a couple decided I was the nap place today...

I have no idea how many trips they made up me...

as soon as I peeled one off and set it in the floor...

there was another...

I got so little done yesterday, but what's a mom to do?

I called for reinforcements!

stack them up and lock them up for their naps...

so I could finish the sorting and putting away...

so I could get lunch before they woke up again...

and that's basically how the whole day went...

I did manage a call to the dr's office and I go on Wednesday...

and Craig has that day off, so he is going to run me over...

shopping after and lunch...

so that won't be too bad of a day...

just hope it warms up some more and the wind stops blowing...

an update on Tori...

;)

her mom posted a video yesterday of Tori running for the first time since her foot was amputated 16 months ago...

and she did good!

;)

both my guys are working today...

so I am home alone...

resting up...

counting my blessings and my pin holes...

;)

Happy St Patrick's Day!

got a wonderful card in the mail from a friend who moved away some years ago, but we still keep in contact...

and the wonderful message inside...

Waffles this morning before face washing...

just getting some loving...

Yeller...

there is always one that nurses upside down...

she's the one in this litter...

we picked up a cantaloupe at Kroger on Saturday...

it is most excellent and I had some for breakfast this morning...

along with my 2 eggs and 1/2 a cup of cereal...

(Special K and bran flakes- 50/50 mix)

my drink of choice these days...

isn't it pretty?

Powerade Zero...

grape!

and of course the birds this morning...

the sun is shining again!

a whole whoppin' 21 out there...

the orioles...

starlings...

are these the females?

must research this later...

and one of the female cardinals with the snowbirds...

isn't she just beautiful?

called my dr this morning and cannot get in until Wednesday morning...

so, its getting things done here today slowly...

Craig is off and frankly, we will work better without his dad here...

the one armed guy goes back to the ortho dr tomorrow to see how things are healing...

have a blessed St Patrick's Day!

hope you got your green on!

I personally have one my green undies...

and if anyone asks for proof...

bwahahahaha...

I am not paying for their therapy...

;)

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...

;)
