Called in last night. My hip and back have been bothering me. Even just walking around Family $, Vinnies and Pamida today hurt. I'm hoping after the swelling goes down in my knee a little more I won't be favoring it and it won't hurt my back. It only hurts when I walk and pick stuff up, so who knows.
It's 67 degrees out, but it feels alot cooler. It's overcast and looks like the sky could let loose anytime now. It's starting to feel like fall, leaves are starting to change already.
So we got out and Jeremy got to see the sites. Nothing too exciting was picked up at any of the stores.
I've started Farms for everyone here. What a pain b/c Farmville isn't working properly.

No dead fish here!
Okay, I'm not laying here like a dead fish.
Apparently it's been almost a whole week (gasp! & double gasp!) since I posted anything. Jeremy's threatening to remove me from his bookmarks b/c he's got so much going on that he can't keep 'dead fish' sites in his bookmarks.
I was at Bond Falls Flowage the last two days. Camp Out. It was pretty interesting. Got to hold Marcus, he's a cutie! It was hot and sunny thankfully there are a lot of trees for shade and there was almost always a breeze. I slept at Mom's so that I could sleep late and work last night. Saturday afternoon, I found everyone down at the day beach. The lake is the lowest I've ever seen it. And pretty murky. But the kids didn't seem to mind, water's water and it cooled them off.
I have Tuesday and Wednesday off, can't wait. Don't know what I will do but I will enjoy not working!
I finally got a book I've been waiting for from PBS for months. I broke down and bought it on ebay. Another book finally became available on PBS that I've been waiting for for a good while too. Now the only books I REALLY want are ones that haven't been released yet. I'm guessing I'll have to buy them, they won't be available on PBS for a good year yet. Doesn't hurt to be on the list.
Okay time for a shower and chill before work. Get the game face on and brace for work.

Anther weekend, another rain delayed race at Watkins Glen. The race is slated to start in 1/2 hour on ESPN. I just googled the weather for the race track and after 6 pm tonight there's a 50% chance of storms again. So six hours for 90 laps.
It's been hot and muggy this last few days. The first really unbearable weather of the summer. Jeremy's been upstairs alot this last weekend. His fibro and neuropothy is kicking his butt.
I made an appointment to get my hair cut again this Thursday. I will make another appointment before I leave.
The camp out is next weekend. Hope it's not too stressful. Who knows with family.

My but will probably be dragging, I didn't get much sleep. Maybe 4 hours tops. I was planning on getting a little sleep downstairs and watching the race when it started. Jeremy came down at about 11 and told me that it was raining cats and dogs and I went upstairs to get a few hours sleep. At 2 he woke me up and I stayed up until after 4 waiting for the race to start.
By then Katey's facebook page was started and I've been messing with that for a while.
I also tried a few things with the beads but didn't get it right. I'm ready to ditch them all. I have just enough stuff to have a lot invested in it and not enough to do much of anything anymore. I need to get more beads if I'm going to go on but lately I just can't justify it b/c it's so expensive and doesn't repay itself and it's not like I wear any of it anymore. I've tried at least wearing the earrings but every time I wear them I end up wearing a face mask and they get all tangled up in the mask.

I just watched the Sgt Crowley interview, the last 10 minutes at least, it was on Fox when I turned on the news. He didn't let the press walk over him. He stopped them from interrupting him on numerous occasions. Firmly let them know what he would talk about and what he wouldn't and when they reasked the same questions in various ways, he stood his ground. Got to have respect for him for the whole way he's handled the whole situation.
One of the men that Greta interview after the press conference of Sgt Crowley brought up an interesting point. The whole beer summit is another diversion. In one hour Obama said that doctors are thieves (he sited the doctor who was doing unnecessary tonsillectomies) and after saying that he didn't know about what happened that the police acted stupidly. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! And turns out they DIDN'T act stupidly. Someone talking about what he didn't know and giving a strong opinion on what he doesn't know anything about is THE DEFINITION of acting stupidly. Turns out that Obama isn't alone thou. I work with people who do the same thing ALL the time. They aren't there, don't know the variables, most importantly they don't ask, just go on and on to anyone who will listen.
The weather man was WRONG, and we didn't go rock hunting. On a good note we hit Vinnies and made out like bandits. Jeremy got a boat load of Louis and I got a few really good books about sewing and crochet. There's a knitting pattern that I can turn into crochet for 'snuggy' type throw that I've been trying to perfect on my own. I also got more of the yarn from Pamida. Guess when they discontinue something I shouldn't give up hope of ever seeing it there again b/c I bought them out when they were clearance priced and have been back three more time and bought out three more times.

Just writing this so I don't completely forget all the symptoms b/c I'm good at that.
The last three times I've eaten/taken my meds I've had stomach aches afterward. The top part of my stomach.
And my nerves are shooting pains in various spots. Mainly in my inner right knee, but also my right foot and my left arm is doing the tooth aching thing in the ulna nerve again.
Don't know what's related and what's not, but am going to keep track of these things so maybe at some point I can figure out what's up with me.

I got Five books from PBS today. Two of the books the order had been canceled. I gave the member credit b/c I really really wanted one of the books, otherwise I would have felt obligated to send the books back. Actually I could have and should have only given them credit for the one I wanted and send the other back. Oh well, too late now. I am a credit down, but have one book mailed so I will have a credit when they receive it. Otherwise I will have to buy credits to pay for it.
It's been a weird day. I had yesterday off and slept like I would normally to go to work. Had to be up for 1:30 for a Dr appointment for Jeremy.
I would have to say the Dr is proving to be more and more of a quack. He welcomed us into the room and said "Good to see you Jerry." Jeremy was really good about it, said, "It's Jeremy, my name's Jeremy." The Dr back peddled and apologized. Jeremy did good not to tell the guy off. During the whole appointment he talked to me and not Jeremy. And he went over non-important things. He went on & on me having trouble getting his meds. I actually had to redirect him!
Mom called today. Of course they wanted rent. She was good about it when I told her we didnt' have it right now. Dad wants us to buy the house. The tax credit would be for $2,000 tops. Don't know if it would be worth it right now. I told Dad not to get all excited about us buying it b/c we had to pay off the truck first and that wasn't until next spring. Mom tried to press us to figure out a way to do it still this year so we could use the tax credit. She thought it was a flat $8,000. It's 10% or the value of the house up to $8,000. So that will give us a bit of help but not a whole lot. Have to still figure out what we are going to do. Do want to buy it, and it would be nice to get a loan for more to fix the roof, the front steps and add a back porch.
Other things I've learned today:
*Mom's loosing weight. 25# so far. That's really good, I have got to start working on that too.
*Ben is down visiting Cari. Will be there for another 3 weeks or so.
*Dad and Uncle Frank almost needed a search and rescue team to find them out at the Old Choate Logging Town. Actually the problem was they didn't make it there, got lost and really got turned around in the woods. Apparently he didn't remember to bring his compass but remembered his cell phone. Two, no three things.
1) Dad DIDN'T bring his compass? That's the first thing needed when going into the woods.
2) Cell phone? Dad? ???
3) Didn't he learn anything from his last attempt to go fishing there? They didn't last long that time either. He burned his shirt, fell in the river, brought cornmeal instead of powedered egg.
*Mom & Dad have internet on their computer and Ben's lap top. Mom says they aren't using their computer, but give it time, Cari will have her playing Farkle and Farmville on Facebook next time they come visiting.
*Camp-Out is mid August. We won't sleep there, but will most likely be able to visit.
