Diabetes in Check...Check, Thryroid in Check...Check, Flu Shot in Check...OUCH!

Well I went for my 6 month check up with my Endocrinologist this afternoon she and her associate gave me the thumbs up, and lose weight speech!

My A1C was down from 8.4 to 6.2 (normal is 5.8) and I need to get my thyroid checked in two months (they lowered me from 225 micrograms to 200 micrograms) of Levoxyl.  I can get a bit confused with the thyroid medications as they are completely backward, or upside down from what you think regarding medications.

Anyway when my doctor left the room she was still smiling so I figure I did good! Oh and I had them look at my foot (the one I dropped the oxygen tank on) and it is not broken, but if I have any trouble to see my regular doctor!!
THANK YOU GOD!



And on the flip side I hope you had a hauntingly horrible devils night!!

See you all on the flip side!

Off to battle the ants and bees and spiders OH MY!

Well tonight at dusk, (because most wasps and bees are nighty night by then) I am going to plant the NEW black raspberry bushes that Direct Gardening http://www.directgardening.com replaced already!  I also use Brecks, http://www.brecks.com and Springhill Nursery, http://www.springhillnursery.com online or catalog...if an item you buy does not flourish within 1 year of planting send them the appropriate (usually the mailing label with packing slip) and they will replace at the correct planting time or as soon as possible! I will not be buying from anyone else again!!!

So far today Twink is like VELCRO she keeps trying to get into my lap! I was busy making an Anniversary Cake for my young cousins Joe and Alexis Doherty, one year today! I absolutely love Alexis sense of style here is the cake I used Picasa to make...

And now that I am finished, I wonder where Twink went? OH right next to me in her commandeered bed, poor Lucky!

Okay in from planting Black Raspberries. Root Hormone check, Preen check, Diatomaceous Earth check, Big Black Spiders...not so much! Though the big black hairy outside ones do not bother me as much as the white skinny house spiders do, they still took me by surprise there were at least 5 of them at one time marching right for me. And with me sitting on the patio not a fast mover on my feet let alone...anyway job done left water on a trickle to give them a soak. This is what I hope for next year...

Gobbled down a can of Dinty Moore and off to the showers! See you all in the funny papers!

Even Grocery Shopping can be a lesson from my Lord...

After Saturdays trip to the grocery store, I am glad to be home and snug in my pj's!!

This guy, one person behind me in line started calling someone rude in a very LOUD voice, because they had 25 items in the 15 item line! When I turned to look at who was yelling he said "Yeah You" so I said "I hope you are not handicapped next time you are in a grocery line." his answer.."F**k you B**ch" in the middle of the grocery check out area!!

I made the motion tick the lock and zip your lips then, reminded him there are children in the immediate area and to act his age! I asked the cashier if I had taken too much of her time and apologized, she said it was fine. I turned and asked the girl behind me, she said the same no problem, I apologized and all the while she is giving me a roll of the eyes, but I had my eyes locked on  the jerk. He still retorted "Well at least I am not a F**king Rude B**ch!!!" I shot over my shoulder on my gimp cart as I was leaving,

"May God Bless You" his answer was "Yeah like that is gonna help" my thought was, yup you are right it is not going to help a moron like you. Yes, I got a bag boy to take me out to my car!!

McQuillen's Law....

I would swear if I did not have bad luck...lets see we will start on October 10th...

I had the AT&T technician out to put me on the fastest of fast internet...he comes and tells me he cannot do what I want because the signal is not good enough! He sent another technician out to fix that problem, calls me and says it is too late and he would be back tomorrow (Saturday), I asked are you sure. Oh yeah no problem...Monday morning I am on the phone with AT&T again, oh Ms McQuillen the first date we have is the 17th...they basically got me by...so I agree.

Last night I noticed my Ooma Box flashing and checked out the system, no broadcast. Hmmmm I think I need a hot line to AT&T this time the guy says oh no problem we will fix everything tomorrow at 8:00am. The girl shows up at 11:30am and tells me she cannot do what I want I will have to call for an appointment!!!! I told her I had one for tomorrow, then you are all set.

I come into my bedroom to make sure the Ooma box is correctly connected and it falls on the floor and EXPLODES! I tried everything my geeky brain could think of but no go, I called Ooma, well for $109.00 I could give you the brand new Ooma and free shipping...SCCCREEECCCHHH hold it right there, I told him I could get that at WALMART! So he comes back and gives me another offer...$59.00 free shipping and a 3 month credit on my fees and taxes around $12.00.

So wish me luck I really need it, that they will still honor their offer after November 3rd!

I should join the geek squad and teach them a few things!

What a day, did I say what a day I had? Well let me tell you! First I woke up 3 hours early and could not get back to sleep watched TV got bored figured I would take my morning medications early. While going to get a glass of water

I thought hey I will have biscuits and coffee for breakfast, and make homemade biscuits and black raspberry spreadable fruit with my freshly brewed coffee that was set to brew at 9:00am. Which came and went so I had to set it off manually.

I did a little cleaning around the house and thought I should lie down because I was really exhausted. NO Twinkle Toes wanted to play, well that went on until I thought it was dinnertime, looked at the clock and it was...11:48AM. So back to pushing dust back and forth with the cats chasing the broom. And of course no shoes and what do I step on a piece of glass I did not know it until I saw blood spots all over the floor. Okay done for the day...NOT.

 I decided to unravel my spaghetti of wires behind my entertainment center in my bedroom because they are coming on Thursday to Upgrade me to the FASTEST internet speed they got 50mbps!

Oh what a mess I weaved, I got no phone, the printer will not scan, I stepped on an extension cord male end up, backed into my computer table and my 2 year old Toshiba 17.3 " laptop took a dive and smashed the LED screen, so I call Best Buy, it went out of warranty LAST @&$#^%*+-!~ MONTH!!! Now that hurt, and now I can't find the flashlight I JUST HAD A FEW MINUTES AGO, LUCKY...TWINK...Ahh what a productive day a great excuse to do nothing and just pour my heart out to the repairman and feign horror at the mess!!! The only saving glory is I can get the replacement display screen for about $90.20 and do the work myself!!! Have I ever mentioned what a geek I am!!!!
