Happy Anniversary

Today is the 31st anniversary of Rich and me's first date. Yep the Highland High School Winter Formal. Tomorrow will be the 30th anniversary of our second date. Yes one year and a day between the two. December 20th is the 4th anniversary of my Mom's death. I will try not to dwell on that one.
More snow on the ground this morning. Yuck.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let....ARE YOU NUTS?

Snow storm came late yesterday. It didn't start until after 11pm and then we woke to 1 FOOT of snow this morning! Yep. Hang on Joe and Jenny, it's comin' your way.
Okey. The Newman 'rents itinerary is as follows: Leave Cedar City morning of Thursday December 21st. Stay in Bakersfield 'till Wednesday December 27th. Stop to chat with Vegas Newman's that evening dropping me off for the weekend and then DAD heads back to Cedar. I will do my Friday babysit and then take the shuttle home on Saturday the 30th.

Hello world

I can now say I have been to Escalante, Utah. That's where Rich goes on his route for work. He takes bank receipts to banks and then picks up new ones from the banks on his return trip and delivers them back to Cedar City to a waiting plane bound for Salt Lake. He wanted me to go with him once so today was the day. We had a nice day. OHHHHH. Guess what? The suspension on the Expedition has been fixed. Yeahhhhhhh. No more boingy boingy. It wasn't the air shocks like everyone had been telling us. It was the actual compressor. CHA Ch$$$$$$ng. But now it's done.
I had my lung specialist doctor appointment yesterday. It went well. The problem that the echo nurse saw was how much pressure my lungs were measuring. Evidently lungs function at 20 lbs pressure and mine are at 80! But....In August when this test was taken it measured 90!!!!! Yikes. So the doctor was happy because it has come down 10 points. He also told me I'm his worst case right now. Isn't that a lovely distinction. Yep, that's me. Have to do everything BIG. crap.....
Tomorrow we are having a yard///////, garage//////, storage unit sale. It's expected to snow 2 inches. Funsville. Guess that's it. Happy times.

busy, busy

Had a echo cardio gram done on my heart this morning. Also had several blood tests. So glad they can do all that with one poke now. The nurse that did my echo said she saw something that wasn't good. But I don't know what it was. I had just had one in August and she wasn't able to access it to compare the two. YUCK-A-PUCK. Normaly is takes a week to send the info on to the doctor. I see him on Thursday. She faxed it to him before I got out of the hospital. Not a good sign.
But after that... Life got a little better. I've talked to both Joseph and R4 today. That always makes me smile. I've even talked to Jackie. She called to tell me some good news. Her eye-doctor tried a new procedure on her bad eye and she is "seeing" changes for the better. Yeahhhhhh!
At noon Ethel picked me up from the hospital and we made it to the senior citizen center just in time to start the performance of Ukelele Ladies for them. Then they fed us. This has been a busy day. It's 3:30p. Maybe I should do something around the house?????? Maybe change the cat box and call it good.
