I was supposed to get down to Danny Boy's gate and unlock it for a man that was going to mow the yard. I forgot and went back to bed. I got up at 10:00 AM and the first thing I thought of was the lock! I should have written it down so I would have seen it when I was up at 7:00.
My knees bothered me until the afternoon. But I was able to do the chores and practice the piano. While I was practicing the piano, the laundry was going round and round in the washer and dryer. I got 2 loads washed, folded and put away. About 3:00 PM, I ran out of things I wanted to do so I reclined on my bed and read the Reader's Digest. I believe I would enjoy the large print and wrote a letter asking to switch my subscription to the large type. (only the Shadow knows if I can do that...)
It was Prednisone day for Dad, so he didn't get to feeling better until the afternoon. Tomorrow, we'll be going to H'ville to see the Dr. It's not a bad trip. I have to go by Dr. Dang's office to get a permission slip saying it's okay for me to take Forteo. Then, I have to be back in H'ville the next day, Thursday, at 8:00 AM! Quite the little traveler here.

Back To the Grocery Store
That sounds better than "going to Walmart". I got up at 7 AM and took a shower, planning to go to exercise class. I called Dr. Shergy's office at 8 AM to see about getting on the new medicine sooner than December and then decided to stay home and wait for the call. The nurse did call and I need to go by Dr. Dang's office to get a statement saying that he says it's okay for me to take the medicine. So Wednesday when Dad goes to the pain clinic, we will stop by Dr. Dang's office to get the okay. Then I will go to Dr. Shergy's office Thursday to learn how to give myself the shots. I'm excited! I've always wanted to learn how to give shots, to myself or someone else, with a small needle, of course!
I went to get groceries so I wouldn't be bored. We didn't need anything except Ziploc sandwich bags. I got a case of beans, two boxes of powdered milk, some no odor dryer sheets, a wash basin to hand wash a blouse I have and some disposable razors. I just remembered I had the blouse soaking in that new basin, so I went and washed it. It's hanging on the bathroom shower curtain now. It's a pretty white blouse with lace and pearls on the front. I have babbled on and on because the blog wasn't saving my blog. It's working now so I can shut up! Ha!
I got a pair of reading glasses. I used the last frames I had for my regular glasses and the lens just cost $65.00. Dad said he would pay me back. I'll keep the extra reading glasses at the piano where I will use them, and then put them in my purse for Sunday. I can see the music better with the reading glasses. I have a special pair I use with the computer, but they won't do for the piano.

Day Before Sunday
I've gone a little stale on my blog titles. There's just nothing exciting happening in my life right now.
I was going out today but figured if I did I might spend money so I stayed home. I went downstairs and tried on all the long pants I had hanging in the closet. They all fit. That saves me money. It's still not cool enough for long pants but they surely did feel good, plus I wouldn't have to shave my legs every other day! Ah, long pants and long skirts... I've practiced the piano twice today and if I can do it every day, I'll get better. Dad got up after lunch and took care of the birds. He is loud and raucous and they love that. Plus, he gives them treats and they like that. I'm too quiet to be much fun for the birds.
Next week is Conference and I have a card party in the AM and the Fiddler's Convention is that week-end too. Ruth said she and my brother were going to come up, but that was some time ago. I'll have to see if they still plan to do that. The Fiddler's Convention is a fun place to go and drop some money!
It's really nice outside. Too bad I can't make myself get up and go walking or something. I have to file my nails. They have finally gotten over having acrylic nails over them and they have grown out. I noticed I needed to file them when I was playing the piano. Boy, I can't take much more excitement!

Finally Friday
It doesn't really matter that it's Friday or not. When your days are filled with nothing, it doesn't matter what day of the week it is. I did go to Walmart for some groceries this morning, and to the bank. It worries me that a lot of big banks are closing so I got some money out to have at home.
I was practicing the piano and got really down. I should be able to play this music without any trouble. I have to practice though since I haven't done much these last 5 years. I must be humble so the Lord will help me be strong again (and practice)! The middle c on my piano doesn't play most of the time and it irritates me. I don't know if it's something that can be fixed or not. It really doesn't need tuning again but the next time it gets tuned I'll see if the tuner can fix it. Maybe it is just getting old and worn out, like me!
The weather has really been great! tempts in the low 80's and no rain. We could always use the rain, but there's none on the horizon.
Mary Kate called to see if some sausage would still be good past the "sell by" date. I told her if the meat wasn't slimy and it didn't smell bad, it was probably alright to eat. We had several boxes of cereal that were a year beyond the due date and they really smelled bad. I thought stuff like that had enough preservatives in them that they had a loooong shelf life. Oh, well, the Shadow knowes....

Day After Yesterday
Pauline and I went V.T. today. We saw Rachel Bathouer and Mary Lou Hill. Rachel has MS and takes meds for it. She has two really loving children. I had her little girl, Kathryn, in my Primary Class. Mary Lou and Bob have a new puppy. Molly is her name and she is 3 mo. old. She is white and is a mix of Also and something else!! She'll be about 8-10 lbs. when grown. She chewed on our fingers with her sharp baby teeth. So cute! I brought 2 cards and had Pauline sign them and then I did and when I got home I mailed them. The church is divided into districts now. I missed the 5th Sunday meeting where it was explained and also R.S. where it was explained again. I think it has to do with Visiting and Home Teaching. So Pauline and I might not be partners again. She is in one district and I am in another. Time will tell.
I got my hair cut this afternoon. It was looking good a little longer but I had to roll it, which is no pain, and needed to use hair spray. I talked to Dad about it and he voted no hair spray, so I got it cut. It is very short but it will grow! Gert didn't seem to like it. He just bit my ears when I had him out and wanted to get back into his cage.

Doctor Day
I had my bone scan and then saw Dr. Shergy. It had been two years since I had had a bone scan and this one showed that I, at some time, had a stress fracture in my spine. One stress fracture leads to more fractures and Dr. Shergy wants to change my meds I'm taking for the osteoporosis. The new med is called Forteo and is self-injected. It's taken every 28 days for two years and it makes your body grow new bone. I want to try it but I have to consult my oncologist Dr. Dang about it since it (Forteo) caused cancer in baby rats. I'm all for it. The injections come in a pen that is filled with 28 doses. It would have a hair needle...not made of real hair, but as thin. I'll have to do as Dr. Dang recommends. My osteoporosis is such that I could fracture a bone If I fell down. Not a pretty sight! (ho-ho-ho...).
My knees have been hurting again. I had to stop by Walmart on my way home and the walking all over the store was bad with my knees acting up. I came home and almost took a nap. The phone rang a couple of times so that's why I "almost" got a nap.
Dad and I listened to the intro to the Doctrine and Covenants yesterday. It was nice.
The lending banks in Washington are going bust. The Congress is meeting and the President wants the tax payers to bail them out. Almost everyone doesn't like the Pres.' plan but some plan must be made to keep the world from exploding. I just want it to leave me alone.
Pauline and I will be going Visiting Teaching tomorrow. We'll see two sisters. We'll have to go out again or send a card or make a call to get everyone.

Third Day of the Week
After my healthful walk around the track and then going to Walmart and walking, I was very tired this morning. I finally got back up at 11:00 AM. I had energy this afternoon but the morning was a loss. My left knee woke me up hurting. I guess my desire to exercise no matter what might be weakening.
I called Sis. Berry to tell her I wanted a ride to Women's Time Out. She's taking her van and I wanted to go. She wants me to announce it in Primary too and get her a list of all who want to go. It will be November 15, 2008. It's hard to believe there's only two and one half months left to go in this year.
Dad got my little fan I run all year fixed. It had run out of oil. I had already bought two more 9" fans to replace it. I'll use my new one tonight (because it's a pain to plug and unplug it) and go back to the smaller one tomorrow.
I see Dr. Shergy tomorrow. I have a bone scan and then I'll see the Dr. Hobby Lobby's coupon wasn't a 40% off so I won't be going there.
I wrote checks for three magazines today. I've been kicked off of Dad's checkbook and I wanted the magazines. One was Guideposts, Archeology magazine and Reader's digest. It felt good to do it. I do things like that when the notice comes in and I used to have to wait on Dad to do it when he paid the bills.
We're having nice 85 degree weather now. There's not a speck of rain in the future so the temperature should stay about the same.
