October 2019... Share your Day...

Good Morning Kids, Getting to the healthy side again... Had a bit of a scare of Sunday though... We had company and was sitting outside... I offered coffee, so I was going in to make it. Felt something strange on the back of my leg above my knee where I have NO feeling from the knee down... Anyways called the Misses in.. got her to check... and wow... it was a tick... So now I have to watch that area for 30 days... Not sure where I got it from, somewhere on the property... But it must have climbed up my leg, and like I said I have no feeling from the knee down on that leg...

Well going to try breakfast with the guys today... I hope YOU all have a wonderful day... and God Bless YOU all...

Well I can only hope today is a much better day than last night was for my family. Hubby and I got a call at 11:30pm that our oldest grandson was attacked on his way home from his job. A group of guys jumped him and started beating him up. They took his money and ran. The police came and took my grandson to the hospital. His eye was swollen and he needed stiches on his hand.He is in a lot of pain. I had worried about him all last month because he was in Viet Nam. Everything was great when he was there and then he comes home to something like this. He had just graduated from college with a degree in Bio Medical Engineering,and now this happens.He is supposed to start a job in a few weeks working with a Doctor at a hospital here,and I pray he stops the job he has now because it is in a dangerous neighborhood.

oooh no that's terrible Sassy, how heartsick you must be feeling that he was mugged and beaten just walking home. it must have really shaken him up, I wish him well, and a job in a better area..
 
I've got Electricians coming first thing in the morning to replace an old fuse box for a whole new one.. and board.. Also to replace some some smoke and carbon monoxide alarms around the house. The work is supposed to be quite involved and is expected to last at least 1/2 a day, of which I will be without any electricity, so I won't be able to even make a cuppa tea.. *Yikes*... :eek:

So sorry about your grandson SC. Yes, some neighborhoods are not to walk in. It shouldn't be that way but unfortunately it is. I hope he will feel much better soon.
 
Well the St. John's Wort arrived and I've been taking it for some days now. Sometimes I notice a difference in how I feel and some days still stink. I have to remember to not sleep too much and about 7.5 hours seems to be good for me.

Took my dog to the Vet. yesterday for her monthly anal gland expression and also her Rabies Vaccine which she gets every 3 years. She did well. Had a little problem getting the cab but it all worked out alright. Oh, I wish I had a car. I am still saving for one.

Still trying to get my place cleaned and do some laundry as usual.
 
Cold not so bad today, but I'm still stiff from sorting out the bathroom after the new floor was laid. I still have to fit a new radiator as the spacing on the mounting brackets was different from the old one. Typical - even though it's the same size of radiator, nothing is standard these days. I just hope the plumbing matches up OK.

Anyway, first thing is off to get some paint and then drop into the smokehouse for some smoked salmon. The smokehouse was built in 1585 and is still uses the same traditional smoking techniques today.

That is horrible SC... Is there a way he can take Uber home? I hear they are pretty cheap... Our Kids who live in the city uses them all the time, and say they are a lot cheaper then taxi's... What is the world coming too... pretty scary place nowadays... And these kids think they are pretty tough when they are in a group... One on one it would never happen... Well, I hope he is ok... Prayers and thoughts his way.... and for you and your hubby... Can he afford to quit till they next job kicks in??

I've got a cold! Felt miserable this morning, but a bit better now. I had a new floor covering fitted in the bathroom. Looks good - now just have to finish decorating, etc.. - and pay the bill! Hopefully, I'll feel better tomorrow. The forecast is for sunshine - that'll be nice.

Yikes, Mike! I hope the ticks down there don't carry Lyme disease. Let us know how you're doing.

That's what I want him to do,take Uber, I told him we would even pay for it. He doesn't really need the money from the job,but from when he was a teenager he loved working.He is just like my son,his Dad. They love working. Thanks for your prayers ,they are really appreciated..

Good Morning Ladies, and Gents...
Today, I got a doctor's appointment to get the are checked by where the tick bit into me... Yes, we have ticks with Lyme @RadishRose , thats what got Lennie, and thats what did him in... Then tomorrow, I have my checkup with the diabetic doctor. We think our other puppy Carl has ear mites now... Going to get him checked at the end of the month... Well, that's about all the news here in Franktown... I hope YOU all have a GREAT day... and God Bless YOU all...

Down to Aberdeen to see "The Sweetest growl" at the Lemon tree theatre. It was excellent. It's based on the life of Mary McGowan a Glasgow jazz singer who had a no.1 record in the 50's, headlined at the Cavern Club on the first night the Beatles played there and was regarded by Louis Armstrong as the best jazz singer of the day. Then she gave it up to marry a senior Merchant navy officer and become a housewife and mother. She appeared for the last time in 1982 at a reunion concert and died in 2018 at the age of 84.

Mary McGowan was played with Elaine C Smith, (UK readers, especially Scots will know her) who was superb in the role, and has a great voice herself. A fantastic afternoon - complete with a pie and a big glass of Merlot - all for £11.

I'm so sorry about Lennie. It's so sad to lose one of the pack!🤗
 
Had a good day. I think the St.John's Wort is doing some good along with the other stuff I take.

I got a lot done today. Cleaned the kitchen floor finally, vacuumed a lot of the living room and kitchen rug and bird area, got my new AC Cover and put it on. Looks good, hope it keeps the draft to a minimum. Got Aldi's food delivery and put it away.

It was a nice day outside today, too. I know Winter is coming and heard it will be milder and I really hope they are right! There usually are some very frigid days here in NE Ohio.😯
