I think I've met my deductible for the year in Day to day life from a woman that turned 60 in Oct 2014 and who lives on a farm and Retired on January 2, 2016. I plan to do more sewing, work outside in the yard and just enjoy my retirement.

Check up this morning for the previous staph infection on my face. It has healed wonderfully and she was very happy that she had to look for the place. Then I had to have her check out my bronchitis issue that has developed since last Sunday evening. Geeze!! I’m really tired of being sick and having infections back to back. Received the shot that will work for the bronchitis and oh my how it hurts. The price I must pay to get over this chest infection. I feel like a walking pharmacy right now and have fallen into becoming one of the “regulars” that go to the Drs office all the time. Same people there every time I go and now I’m one of them. That sucks! I am hoping and praying that the shot and oral meds will end current infections and any underlying infections ready to rear their ugly selves.

This was a long week at work and it was only 4 days since I took off today. I was just so very tired and the med for the cheek made me nauseous most of the time. About the time my stomach would settle it was time to take the evening one so I should have lost weight this week. Don’t know that but should’ve.

A’s birthday was yesterday. She turned 35. She had been feeling depressed about turning 35 but was impressed with her revelation that she posted on her FB page. A very thoughtful daughter I have raised. I told her that J and I would take her and Owen out for supper for her birthday. We did, but I was so sick to my stomach that I had to eat just a bit of rice. I love oriental, but not last night. I know she was disappointed that I couldn’t really eat cause she knows I usually love eating the fried rice and all the other stuff they have available. J doesn’t eat oriental anything, but does like the noodles and the pizza they have on the buffet. I gave A her b’day money once we got home and I was asleep in my chair within 15 minutes. Thankfully I didn’t upchuck and it was touch and go for awhile. I woke up during the night a few times with tummy queasy, but I didn’t have to get up except to pee, which is normal these days.

Dude’s birthday is Sunday and he and Dudette are going to Branson this weekend and are leaving tonight. Dudette’s mom is going to pick up the girls tonight and they are going to Six Flags tomorrow so Isaiah is going to stay with me. The girls and Isaiah will all stay overnight Saturday and then when their mom and dad return from Branson on Sunday we will celebrate both birthdays with coconut cream pies and I’ll bake a cake for those that don’t like coconut. October is the beginning of the busy and crazy and expensive time of year. October just segways into expenses for Thanksgiving and then Boom! It’s Christmas!! Then New Year’s dinner and then ahhhhhhhhhh Retirement!! I’ll rest unless I’m so stoked about retiring that I begin my “want tos” on the weekend.

Must share this one story from work. I wrote already about doing my own retirement award justification several weeks ago. This Wed at staff call boss said he wants me to provide him numbers for the last year or two of what my Division has done. Folks. I. send. him. work count. every. month. EVERY month. I haven’t sent them for September yet but I will next week. In addition to that I’m going to send 3yrs worth of numbers for my award. I can almost bet money that he’ll ask for something else or more or something. He’ll never get it forwarded in time. He can NEVER get things accomplished on time. I really don’t understand how he gets away with it but it is common knowledge that he never and I mean NEVER meets the suspense for any task.

It is time for me to do something productive. I’ve got my last load of clothes in the washer and then it is time for J’s laundry. I need to declutter. But I want to sew. I’ll see if I can do some of both. lol

Take care and God Bless and thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I am so hoping that feeling tired and bad are going to be behind me soon.
