 I know it's Sunday and it's a sunny day and I shouldn't complain about anything, BUT--

for some reason this month has got me down. I feel over-whelmed and just trying to get through each day.

It all started with having to get that new toilet, which took a big chunk out of the money I had put aside to fix the muffler on The Car.

Last week, I had to get a blood draw, which involved trying to climb up the many steps to the Doc's office. I had PT on Tuesday and PT and a Doc appointment on Thursday--this time I used my walker and struggled up the inclined ramp at his office.

I didn't get to drive out to The Farm on Friday like I had planned. It was a day of continual torrential rain. It has been 19 months since I've "been home".

This week, I take my car in tomorrow late afternoon to have him work on it Tuesday. This involves working around my daughter's schedule so she can meet me there and bring me home.
I canceled my PT appointment for Tuesday.
Hopefully The Car will be ready for pick-up on Wednesday, which will involve finding out my daughter's schedule so she can take me over to get it. Lord only knows what it's going to cost.

Thursday I have an appointment at 11:45 for a renal artery CAT scan to make sure the new meds I am on aren't damaging my kidneys. This will involve wrestling my walker out of the back seat of The Car and using it to walk, quite a distance, into the little hospital, and then wrestling the walker back into the car. Thursday afternoon, I have a dental cleaning, which will again result in wrestling with the walker and going up the inclined ramp. I canceled my Thursday PT, but get to do that on Friday.
I cancelled my hair cut on Monday...it can wait.

On Wednesday of that week, I have a follow-up appointment at Michigan Heart, in the little hospital to make sure my new BP meds are working. I KNOW they are working as my BP is TOO low now, which makes me tired.

AND to top it all off? As I got up this morning, I noticed one of the cats had barfed on the living room carpet. Not by a piece of furniture, where I'd have something to hold onto as I bend over to clean it up and put stain remover on it, Oh No--right in the middle of the living room. I guess I can pull my rocking chair over and sit on it and bend over to get that mess cleaned up.
=========
I'm just so frustrated and tired and actually angry. My dead foot isn't getting any better. There may be no fix for it and there is NO fix for my back problems.

I don't pray for a cure...there are so many with worse physical problems than me, and I pray for them. I pray to be more grateful and positive and I am grateful. At least I can still stumble along and am not in a wheel chair. I just get so tired and depressed.
=============
Okay--pity party rant over. I won't post about any of this again--unless it is on a positive note.
======================
Remember the photo of my new toilet?




This is one I wish I had. LOL
===============
I order my non-food products from the grocery store and have them delivered. The other day my "shopper" called to tell me there was not wet cat food in the 28 can cartons and there was no cat litter.

Thursday my daughter took my food card to get my food groceries and call me half way through the store to tell me some of the items I wanted were not on the shelves.
"Mom", she said. "This is scary...so many shelves are just bare."

I guess it's getting like this all over the country. Not just items from foreign countries stuck on those cargo ships out at sea, but locally or USA made items and food that is manufactured right here in Michigan.
We are 19 months into this pandemic and I expected short supplies when people were hoarding, but that crazy stuff is now over. Most be a trucking issues?
============
I'm not real fond of this world we are living in right now.

    1. I did get your letter and am in the process of writing back. How neat that the genealogy I did for you gave the opportunity to meet relatives in the "old country".

  2. Im sorry you are having a bad month. I am glad your daughter can take you to get your car. What about the doctor appointments? That would be a big help. I use to take my Mom and Dad to theirs. The stores in CA are the same a lot of empty shelves. It is crazy. You can order on line from Walmart and have it delivered maybe? I guess young people are to busy now days to take their senior relatives to doctors appointments etc. It is sad how things are now days.

  3. Good to see you blogging again. Wish you didn't have to go through what you're dealing with right now, but at least you have your daughter helping you and isn't grocery delivery great. I haven't used it yet but just the idea that it's there is such a comfort.

  4. I'd never seen a toilet like the one you pictured and said you wished you had -- fancy!

    Probably you're feeling over-loaded with so much as I have times when I can feel discouraged, to say the least, with appointments and other issues going on. Hang in there!
