Over The Hill

Over the hill and too tired to climb back up. Why do some people die early and others live forever?

I think God made a recipe one day. He threw in all the ingredients and tossed in a cup full of brains and then sat back to see what would happen. Well, this is what happened. 😫

The radio was invented and we were asked to visit the neighbors and listen to their radio. We never dreamed that one day we would own our very own radio. When I first heard of television, the thought of ever owning one of those had never crossed my mind.

I'm just passing the time away. The days are getting a little longer. 

Well, take it easy and January is on the way out. 

The following picture was in about 1947 or so. My Bro-in-law's opened this service station on North First Street in Yakima, WA. My Father-in-law, Arthur LeMaster in front of the car. I also think it was his car.

Once upon a time, I looked like this picture. That was before the turkey neck!!!

Life in the Snow Lane

Life is even slower in the snow lane. I no longer drive because I got old and half-blind. It's better than being all the way blind. but I still like to complain. 

We had a big snowstorm and then it stayed below freezing so the snow settled in for good. The streets are okay around here anyway. 

I hate wearing a mask. I haven't heard of anyone that loves wearing one. No one will know if you don't have makeup on. I don't think anyone cares anyway. I think you might be noticed if you go streaking down the street with nothing on but other than that I don't think anyone cares what you wear. 

Nothing is shocking anymore. 

I have nothing to write about so I shall shut up and find something to eat.

Recycle

I buy a lot of the Frappuccino coffee in the bottle and every time I put one of those empty bottles in the trash to be hauled to the dump I wonder if there wouldn't be a way to recycle those bottles to be refilled. It seems like a big waste of glass. Does glass ever deteriorate and go back into the earth? All kinds of bottles get sent to the dump. I guess I could google it and find out. 

I went to the doctor because of extreme fatigue. It is not my imagination.  After waiting for a week I get a call that everything is normal. My head isn't normal because I am imagining I am tired.

Once before when I felt this way I was given Vitamin B12 shots for quite a long time and then was told to buy OTC B12 vitamins. I need to go to a drug store or Grocery Outlet and buy my drugs there. I will do that tomorrow. Oh, and I could have sleep apnea also but no advice on how to get that going. I can't change doctors because I am on Medicare and already have a doctor.

We are having a ray of sunshine and it is divine. It is 44 degrees so not summertime yet.

I have been crocheting. I crocheted a beanie cap for an adult man and used the wrong size hook. So the cap will fit a kid and now if I give it to a grandkid I will need to make a bunch of them because I have a bunch of great-grandkids. Or I can rip it out and make it adult size. I didn't complete it yet. I tried it on to see how it was fitting and that was when my brain kicked in and I realized I used the wrong sized hook. 

Roots

I liked Roots, a movie several years ago, I will watch it again if I can find it. I am always looking for something I can't find. I spent an hour or more this morning looking for my Datebook. I have dates with doctors and hairdressers and exciting people like that. I finally found it. I remember when I once kept track of things and knew where they were. 

Polly just called to tell me I didn't get any mail. What a bummer, I usually get an ad for something. Now I have nothing to put in the trash can.

I hate these short days. Four O'clock is too early for it to get dark, who should I file a complaint with?

This is it. I think I will search for the Roots movie and if it only cost an arm I might watch it.

I finally got a perm and I don't look like that anymore.

Worry or Not

All of a sudden I realized I have nothing to worry about. Yesterday I had an eye doctor's appointment. It was snowing and more snow was on the way and it's important to get the injections on a regular basis or I would have called and canceled the appointment. If there is something to worry about just call on me because I'm good at it. The appointment was kept and the worry of it all is over. Kenny took me there and told me not to worry because he has studded tires. Studded tires or not it was still a challenge. The appointment went just fine and we stopped on the way home for McDonald's Sausage &egg McMuffin and a hash brown. He doesn't eat anymore so he didn't want one. He has lost 130 lbs. I wish I could quit eating. He bought one to take home to Chris, except the hashbrown, Chris doesn't eat taters, spuds, or whatever you call them.

We used to have a lot of snow here, but the past couple of years it didn't happen. It made up for it this year.

I don't have anything to write about so this is it. Have a nice 2022.

Snow

It snowed like it did in the olden days. I think they said 6 inches. Anyway it was a lot of snow and it happened during the night. I had an 8AM appointment with the eye doctor. So I got up before the crack of dawn which is my normal getting up time. I didn't know it snowed so I took the shower and shampooed my hair and then dried the hair and tried my best to make it look decent because I haven't been able to get a cut. I didn't sleep very well last night so all I wanted was to sleep but Kenny was picking me up at 7:30. Here I am all dolled up (snicker snicker) sitting here waiting for Kenny to pick me up when the phone rang. It was Kenny. He said with the snow they may not be open. He told me about the snow and Chris was in his background and she said she called them and they were not going to be open. What a wonderful relief! I sat here in my Glad-Rags as we called them in the olden days and went to sleep in my recliner until my cat decided she would starve todeath if I didn't feed her that very minute. Cat for sale! I have another appt Thursday so I think I will call and cancel it. It is suppose to snow some more next week. Even if we can drive in it it, I don't want to walk on these icy streets.

I had a man stop in front and he scooped the snow off my driveway. I don't know who he was but he cleared that driveway off and there was no charge. I guess he was just helping folks because he could. I appreciated it so much.

People can be so thoughtful and helpful. 

Look at the wild hair!
