One Step at a Time - April 2014

One of the seniors I work with wanted to go to Stanton Optical to order her glasses today...buy one, get one free. I borrowed Mrs. Fen's luxury cruiser mobile, as the client has a difficult time climbing up into my Fennel-mobile. My client was lured in by the 69.99 deal they put on t.v. She had a rude awakening today. She needs bi-focals, natch...her second pair of specs are going to be for reading. She ended up paying 178.00 for two pairs of glasses, which she thought was ridiculous, so she threw a big fit in the store. I calmly told her that she certainly didn't have to pay for them and we could leave. She decided to go for it, especially after I told her I haven't paid less than four hundred bucks for ONE pair of glasses since the Clinton administration.

Still, I think those ads are so deceptive.

After my shift with her, I went to mom's and did some cleaning and running around for her. We got a new battery for her portable oxygen thingy, so she's set there. I told her I will call her new pulmonary doc tomorrow concerning that surgery. I think she's such a poor risk for surgery, and since my sister didn't bother to take notes, I might as well get the info myself.

Making dinner and reading back.

LOL Hi 'mater! :H

You're right about the Ex...I think he was sending out a "feeler" text to see how I responded, and when I said "F Off" he tried to salvage what little pride he has.

As far as my employer from 15 years ago, I couldn't even pronounce his name when I worked for him...I'll be damned if I can remember it now! LOL

Whats for dinner tonight Mama? We are getting a $5 Little Ceasars Pizza. We have our yearly Memorial of Jesus' Death tonight at 7:00...then I have 40+ people coming over for dessert! Yikes (Yes, they are each bringing something...I said I'd provide coffee, water and soda!)

Oh Fennel - I hadn't read through properly. Hugs to you and your mum too!

I love reading this thread, and do so daily. I wish you all a splendiferously gorgeous day!

I was crunched for time today, but managed to make a big bowl of tabouleh, with sheep feta, tomatoes, peppers, parsley, garbanzos and green onion. Had pita bread and hummus with it. I decided to boil some eggs and make Mrs. Fen a surprise treat of deviled eggs, which she loves. :h I used some of my fancy smoked spanish paprika on top of the eggs. She was delighted with the eggs.

Sometimes, I wish we could all be in the same place- I would love to get home right ahead of all of you and make you a nice dinner. :h

Same here!! :H

Ok - I woke up at 2:00 am on Sunday morning and then last night I couldn't fall asleep until after 2:00!!! I'm exhausted. Finally about midnight I started on Fifty Shades of Grey.

Niner... I'm glad your mum has a good Doctor, it makes such a difference knowing you guys can rely on him/her. X I think it's hilarious the ex told you to stop texting! Err... HELLO!!! Who frikken texted who?! :nutso: As for the background check... good grief already. Maybe they'll get it done before you retire... one hopes! ;o)

Mama... Sounds like you had a good time at the lake... chicken soup for the soul methinks. Good luck with the tomatoes! Things ate mine when I tried growing them. (In pots!) Thanks for the offer of the call. I know I can always call you hon... :l Everything has calmed down yet once more and I may start talking to him again sometime soon! In the meantime he's doing a GREAT job with the vacuum, Pledge and floor wet-Swiffer thingy.

Well done on going to the gym even though you were tired Dottie. I can relate. I pushed myself to go today but I have to tell you the effin bug has zapped my energy. Did you get all the garage done?

Holy crap on a cracker Fenny... I didn't know there were so many varieties of tomatoes. What about those hanging vines? If I got it right (dubious), from what you and Dottie said about the pots, prolly a "no go" as it would be hard to keep the soil consistently moist. Good luck with the call to your mum's Doctor tomorrow. X

That effin sucks about the lack of sleep Nora. I get insomnia too. Now this 50 Shades thingo... I haven't even lewked at a copy. Tell me if I need to read it (seeing as they don't have it on Netflix yet!) Hubby's home tomorrow, huh?

Kradle... you said the proverbial was going to hit the fan last night... Have I missed summat?

Hi again -143... well done on the AF time. Mood swings for sure!

:wavin: And hiya Nicey! Hope things are good down in Oz.

And I hope I haven't missed anyone.
