I spent $10 on a mega and a power ball ticket yesterday. Normally, I never buy either of those and when it gets real high, I'll buy one. Not sure what came into me yesterday. Maybe tonight the power ball will be better for me but I don't have any expectations. Even getting four would be nice as that's $50,000.
I'm kind of just dingin' around today. I wrote two letters and walked out to the mail boxes (with my walker) to mail them off. I put fresh sugar water in my hummingbird feeder as I noticed it was going down some. Even though I've only seen the bird come twice. Maybe she's coming when I don't look. Am glad she finally found me though.
I've got a jigsaw puzzle set up on the card table and have the border done so I need to sit down and get busy on filling in the middle. I picked this puzzle up (for free) at the senior center that Mary took me to a few days back. She discovered a way I can drive there without going on any freeways or fast highways so I'm going to eventually make the trip alone. It's basically just going down one single road. The one I'm familiar with near Mary's that takes me to Safeway and WAlmart.
Yesterday I drove to Walgreen's to pick up some reprints. It's basically a simple drive but I managed to get lost trying to get home again. I also went without my phone and boy, am I glad I went back for it as I was driving around out in the sticks and had no idea where I was. I don't mind getting lost if I'm not alone but when you're going, solo, I have a tendency to panic. Thank God for the map app on my phone.
Love my new phone too. So much nicer than my old one. I had to send for some risers for my bed as I found it was too low for comfort. Now I have to go to WAlmart and find a mattress cover as I keep scooting down on the bed during the night. Mary thinks a mattress cover might help.
She's going to hook up my dvd player today sometime. I have lots of channels to watch but surprisingly, I have a hard time finding movies or shows that don't irritate me. I really like the Alaska shows the best.
Mary and Andy went out for dinner and a comedy club last night and I stayed home to babysit. Wouldn't you know. Jake picked that time to puke and not feel good. I didn't even realize he had thrown up. Some babysitter I am!
Next Monday I have a dentist appt. I made it when this gum area was hurting me but of course, it went away. I was going to cancel but Mary said I need to establish with a dentist anyhow. I wonder how much that's gonna cost. Paid my car insurance yesterday even though it won't be subtracted from my checking until Aug. 7. It went up since I moved to a city. Cost me about $450 for six months. I'd get rid of my car if I didn't need it.
My cousin Linda called me from the rehab nursing home she's in now after her stroke. Her drug order hadn't come in and she was in bad pain. Also hated that she had a big ole black guy coming to wipe her butt. Said she wanted to die. I guess things got a little better once she got those pain pills. I feel so bad for her.
I'm going to the Clark County Fair next month with Mary and Andy. She's going to get a free wheelchair at the gate for me because I get tired even using the walker anymore. I'm excited as I love fairs.
Well, I think I'll make that Walmart run now and get it over with. I'm using the electric carts in all the big stores now and boy, do I love them! Picked two books off my book shelf this morning and decided I need to get into reading more. Am hoping to locate the library soon.
Sorry I don't have photos to share. Maybe I'll start taking some when I go out.
