Frustration

 Finally, I gave up on trying to get car to a place to fix electrical issue. So, called tow company and told them where to take it. They will keep it at tow place and deliver it at 8:00. Whew, that was easy. He even carried the 40 lb dehumidifier and put it inside house. Nice, cordial man. He is from Yemen. I hope these guys do not get deported. 

Tommy said the guy started it to make it easier. It was put on a rollback and gone in no time. I felt better. Now to start my car. BIG PROBLEM! I cannot find the fob!

I called a 24/7 locksmith for over two hours and got promises to call me back in five minutes. Finally, the 800 number just hung up on me. Then, someone answered and said a tech would call in morning and schedule a time. I asked if they worked 24/7 and she said "yes."  I told them not to bother.

My frustration level was so high that indigestion was hurting me. I wanted the car to get the birthday card and bogo food. 

Tommy is no fun right now. He keeps telling me not to talk as he is doing important paperwork! I keep forgetting...lol. Oh, he is working on his taxes.I will shut up and not talk.

We still need to get a rental since driving this is a problem for me. Tommy cannot drive it across town to dr because it sits wrong for him with his disability. Neither of us can get into without a struggle or get out. 

Another ongoing frustration. Tommy cannot microwave a hotdog and get it hot. He says if he microwaves it more, it starts popping and breaking. I say any hotdog that stays in same shape after cooking is not good. Next time, he can boil it or fry it, just don't give me a skinny, lukewarm dog!

Do you like a hotdog that is still same size as when bought and lukewarm?

X-rays and Stuff

 I spent time in xray at ER when I went in with two very young women, one still in xray school. They tried to contort my body into positions it will not go into normally. I was amused at them when I was not in pain. They pulled out a huge piece of equipment, saying maybe they could use it. Then, they pulled out something from under the table I was on, discussing what it might be. There was lots! of giggling. 

Eventually, they got film they were happy with and I was released. It was actually fun.

Today, the car was still full of water. Tommy thought the car sitting from Sunday night to Wednesday afternoon would dry it out. Of course not. We bought a dehumidifier, sat in in from seat, put hose so water could come out the window and an electrical cord to utility room. In the crack where they came from inside of car, he taped a garbage bag so bugs would not seek refuge in the car. A neighbor helped him. It took them two hours. About two hours later, lots of water had come out on driveway and yard. 

I found a new mower guy. As we were in Lowe's, two young men were buying weed eater and other mowing/yard equipment. I stopped them and asked the one guy if he mowed yards. He was eager and affable. So, I got his number. I was happy with the work of the last guy, very happy. He kept me hanging, saying he wanted to buy the Impala; don't sell it; son needs car. I felt he was playing me. The cleaner I had got furious when she heard he also wanted Tommy's car. She paid for the car and signed bill of sale before she picked it up to keep him from getting it from under her, saying he had done stuff like this before to her. But, at this point, I have a new guy. 

Did not find a laptop. Car dampness was more important. I just know it has started to mold, so want to dry it and sell it. 

At Sam's Club, we had a hotdog/Coke Combo, $2.75 total for both. 

Once again, I was wet from the car. I changed to nightgown and went to bed. Not only did shoulder hurt, but going out exhausts me. At Sam's we bought plastic cups, Tommy's allergy meds, milk. There was a whole list. Tommy left it at home.

Guy came today for mold remediation. Cannot wait. At about 2 pm on a Wednesday, the place was practically empty, lots of room to move around. 

I go to doctor tomorrow. 

You know I fell on right hip. Well, it hurts just a bit now. The left hip bone is smooth when I touch it. It s the widest point on my him The right hip bone is sort of jagged. I cannot imagine what happened to the right hip point. I hope my doctor has xray machine. Tomorrow will tell. 

These muscle relaxers are messing with my mind!  OH! just fell because of them. I fell into my chair, thankfully. They are messing with my balance, obviously. I had stopped typing, trying to stand up. 

Mark Cuban suggests stocking up on several everyday items. He said that he thought stores would take advantage of the situation in order to raise prices. So, I was on the right track.

Tommy does not want me to talk at all. He is working on taxes. I have things to say...lol. I won't talk.

I did no editing.

Fake Meat Could Negatively Impact Heart Health/ Taxes

Sunday was a slow day, with pretty sky that soon became really overcast in one direction. We sat in the park for a bit before we rushed home to watch America's Funniest Videos, always hilarious. 

We went out and returned the battery and got core money back on my cc. Then, Tommy took orange-tinged and stinky MW that was spoiled back to Publix. He got one with a date of August. Only car parts store gave us a problem. Tommy went in there, too. 

Sometimes, I have looked at the labels of fake hamburgers and such. So far, I have not eaten any fake meat. I did have some in refrigerator accidentally. Tommy ate them. Do you eat fake meat?

Tommy finished his tax return yesterday. Sunday, he finished mine in 15 minutes since it is much less complicated. I completed two birthday cards, one to grandson and another to son, father of grandson. So, we had six pieces of mail to deposit inside the PO. Only when I have Christmas cards, do we have this many pieces of mail to go out. 

Today, I took a good look at my botched haircut. I think what I did was cut one side twice and left the other side alone! Of course, I sat in my chair without a mirror and cut by feel. Why am I surprised I goofed? 

Do you eat fake meat? 

Are your taxes done? In the mail?
