I've got some good news and some bad news

This has been an incredible week and a half.  If it doesn't slow down pretty soon I may be put in a home for the (Where am I ) group.
One week ago Sunday we came home from church and our son said all that is blowing out of the air conditioner is warm air.  Bad news.  On Monday we started getting estimates and it is now over a week and they came this morning to say they are getting things ready to put a new one in.  Lots of money and a long time to live in  the high 90% weather.  Good news they say it will be in by Friday at the latest.
Bad news we came home around 7pm Saturday and the sewer was running down the hill.  We called the water dept and they worked on it until midnight Saturday and said they would be back on Monday.  Good news they came this morning and we now have water and can go to the bathroom and take showers. 
Good news the ice cream party went very very well.  Bad news my ice cream was terrible.  I will buy it next time.  Thank goodness other brought some too.
Good news in all this heat I have lost another 5 pounds.  Bad news my husband just came in with lunch and it is fast food here come the pounds back on again. 
Good and bad news Our son brought home the cutest little girl puppy named Bella.  SHe is part beagle and part terrier .  She is a lot of work and a lot of fun.  I tried to take pictures but can't figure it out yet but I will and then let you see them. 
That's it for the good and bad news so far this week.  Hope your week is less eventful.  Sass

There are friends and then there are friends. A Letter to Jutka

Hi Jutka,
  I knew if anyone would find me it would be you, and I am so glad you did.  I have missed you dear friend.  How are you?  I know things have been so rough for you and you are in my prayers.  Now that I think about it it was selfish of me to just dissappear away from you.  You are like me and need all the friends we can get don't we. 
It has been so hot all summer long or maybe it is as usual and I just feel it more.  I just want to stay inside and try to keep cool.  However I have found the game Mario Golf.  I had to get the memory card and controller plus the game and it was kind of expensive, but it has been very entertaining. I actually started playing with our grandson when we went to visit Colorado SPrings and got hooked.  We are having long distance tournaments.  I started out slow but I am getting better and  better.  Someday I will win.  The thing about playing all of these games is that it actually helps me in so many ways.  My hand eye coordination is getting stronger I do believe.  My housework is a little worse for wear.  My answer for that is "it will be there tomorrow." 
I am also trying to put together jokes based on Hee Haw.  I did not watch it when I was younger, and so I am having to watch old reruns .  It was not my kind of entertainment I guess.  One lady told me I was unamerican if I didn't love it.  Some of the jokes are just really dumb.  But I will get er done for the church.
Jukta take care of yourself.  I get the feeling loneliness is still big in your life.  We can do this.  We are very strong women.

this is so cool

I can do or say anything I want and no one will read it or care.  No one knows I am here so I am free to complain or brag or just be  dumb if I want to.  SO I will complain about having Parkinsons and everyone trying to take care of me.  People I can do a great many things for myself given the chance.  You are constantly watching me, I know because I am constantly watching you watching me.  Do you really think I would pick up a cup of hot coffee and carry it to the table if I didn't think I could do it.  You are just waiting for me to fail and of couse I fail because I am being closely supervised.  You even tell me every little obstacle on the way.,  People I have been the one who decorated this place, such as it is.   I put the furniture where it is and the rugs and  if I fall I fall.  I know I am slipping away bit by bit.  Someone tells me all the time.  I know I look tired all the time.I am. Not much sleeping with pd.  I know I limp alot.  I have constant pain in my leg and rear.  I no longer tell people I am great because they can look at me and know I am not telling the truth.  I now say I am fair to middlin.  That was an old phase used by my great aunt.  It just seems to fit.  I am not depressed I don't allow that, but I am stresed because now my husband feels he has to be with me 24/.7 in case I need him.  I need for him to give me some space,  Ok that's my pity party for today.  I think I should call this blog my pity party and write about it every day. How boring but since no one knows I am here  who cares.  Take the stress test if you like./  Who am I talking to anyway.    Have a great day Sass 

Sometimes i come up with the dumbest ideas

I am on the board of directors at my church. Can you imagine that? Ditsy me on a church board. As a member I have been put on different committees(oh Joy)things like the benevelent committee and the mentoring committee. I have taken on the challenge of getting the young married couples more involved in things. So to get them more acquainted with each other I am having an old fashioned ice cream social. It will be very informal no decorating or planning other than making tons of homemade ice cream and cake. I forgot about the drinks I guess I need that too. Non alcholic of course. I had planned on about 25 people, but when no one rsvped me I got worried so I invited the members of the board and their wives. Now the number is growing in leaps and bounds. I'm going to be making ice cream til the cows come home. My husband is not pleased to say the least, I just smile and say thank you dear I don't know what I would do without you. He
says get off the board, he thinks I get too nervous and it affects my Parkinsons. He is right of course I will be a wreck when this is all over, but I need to do this. He will do all he can to make it easier for me while grumbling all the way. I love him so. SO keep your fingers crossed for us and if you know any good games to break the ice let me know. I'll just be churnning away here on the ice maker.

OK Let's try this again

HI there,
Thought I would write a little letter to thank everyone for their concerns for my health physical and emotional. I am still not up to par, but I have decided I may never be again so go with the flow.
I have found I have wonderful friends who are not afraid to tell me what I need to know , and part of that is I need to write. Boring or not I just need to write. So you are going to be stuck with me I guess.
I believe people need to start talking about things that bother them more and so one of the first things I would like to complain about is how unstable our economy is. I am so afraid that I will lose what bit of investment savings that we depend on along with our social securty for our financal living. Are you scared too? I really don't understand all this stock market stuff and So I probably rely on my advisor too much. I pray constantly that there will be some kind of miracle in our government that will get our country back in the black again. We had it so good for so long I guess we are spoiled, but we also worked very hard to achieve this comfort.
I am going to try to set this blog up to be colorful and fun. So now I just have to figure out how. Any suggestions?
We're off and running I hope. Good to be back
