Mary Kate and Nate came around 6 PM. Sophia didn't come for she had Youth Conference Sat and didn't want to miss it. We sat around and visited.
Friday, we left after Jenn got here and went to Kohl's. It was the only store open at 9 AM. After Khol's, we went to Hobby Lobby in H'ville. It was open at 9 AM, too. Nate got some parachord and has been making bracelets all afternoon. He made me one that is neon green and royal blue. Also the ones I ordered off the internet came in today but they are way too big. Made for a man's big wrist. I'm wearing mine on my ankle.
We stopped by Regions bank in Madison to add MK to the bank account but Trudy was to meet us there but she had a VT appointment and didn't get there until after we had left. She just had to sign the form that she gave permission for MK to join the club. We had already left and gone to Chick-fil-a to eat lunch. I was allowed to have a grilled chicken sandwich on my diet. It wasn't all that good but it was real food.
We got back home at 12:00 PM in time for Jenn to clock out and leave. Frank was eating his lunch and she was going to stay until he finished. She'll be coming tomorrow for a 6 hour shift while we go to Trudy's to help her organize her pantry. I wrote Forrest a letter after the mail had run so I can just give it to him tomorrow. I hope he's home. After helping Trudy, we'll go shopping in H'ville. I have 2 50% off coupons and there must be something I can find to buy!
I'll be able to go to church Sunday for MK and Nate will stay with Frank. It will be nice.

Wednesday
Went to exercise then to Walmart. I have a list I forget to bring with me so I have to go back many times. I was getting some food for Mary Kate and Nate and Sophia. They will be here tomorrow night. I then went to see Wanda, Mike and Charlie.
Last night or early morning, I found Frank on the floor of the living room. Couldn't get him up so I went back to bed. Had the alarm set for 6 AM so I could get a shower and wash my hair before exercise, but I had to deal with Frank on the floor. Somehow, he got up...Jenn came at 7:45 AM and helped me get him back in bed. When I came home from Wanda's, he was in the floor again this time in his bedroom. He had slept all morning and for some reason got on the floor. Jenn and I couldn't get him up and we called 911 and Jenn spoke to someone and a big young man came out and picked Frank up and put him back in bed. He might have been from the local volunteer fire dept. He had an Alabama red shirt on and I said, "Roll Tide" to him and he chuckled. Frank got a shower and ate supper and now is resting in bed watching a movie. Hopefully, there will be no more floor incidents.
Tomorrow, I have to vacuum the floors and clean out the air filters. There's lot of dust bunnies that I have been watching and think now is the time to chorale them and dispatch them. I might even mop the floors...don't hold me to that though. The floors will get dirty with company here. I need to sweep the floors downstairs. Trudy washed the sheets in "her" room where MK and kids will sleep.
I ordered a CD player for the living room. We have some hymns we can play to help the Sacrament meeting be more spiritual on Sundays and I ordered some 1950's rock and roll CD's to play instead of having Fox News on all day. We have a CD and DVR player in the living room but it's way down low and I don't know how to work it. I have a nice small CD player in my room that I got from Amazon last year but the same one cost a lot more this year so I changed models.

Shopping With Sadie
Trudy spent the night with us Monday night and she asked me to go shopping with Sadie today. Sadie has Youth Conference next week and needed some clothes. Trudy stayed with Dad while I met Sadie at Khol's at 10 AM. She found one blouse at Khol's and then we went to her favorite store, Old Navy.
We took both cars for it's closer to Sadie's house from Old Navy but it started running hot and she had to park it at the first shopping center we came to. She text-ed her Dad about it and he said to put water in it but we both didn't want to do that, plus I would have wanted to follow her home to make sure the car would make it. So she go into my car and we went to Old Navy. She found a pair of jeans and two tops she liked. I bought them for her so she could save her money for her Utah trip. I was offered a 25% off deal and I thought it was a coupon of some sorts so I signed up for it and it turned out to be an Old Navy credit card! The cost of the clothes went on the card so now I'll have to pay the bill and cancel the card. Am I too dumb or what?
I drove Sadie to Hazel Green and then came back to Athens and had to stop at Walmart to get some diabetic Boost and some Greek yogurt. I have a recipe for spinach dip using Greek yogurt and some seasonings. Only one more day of the starvation diet and then I get to eat the 1,000 calorie food. I'll feel like a queen after these 7 days of little food. I weighed this morning and had lost 3 lbs. It's teaching me portion control for I was eating far too much healthy food plus my comfort food, Cokes. I will be very careful about drinking regular Cokes from now on. Diet drinks bother me-the aspartame upsets me-but I'm drinking them on a limited basis now.
Tomorrow, I'll go to exercise and then go over to Wanda's house. She called me three days ago and I hadn't called her back but will have some spare time tomorrow morning and will go visiting. I did call her to ask if it would be alright to come by early. I can be at her house at 9:30 AM.

Loggers
Two men came in a red pick-up truck and began cutting trees. They were in the woods so I didn't see what all they did. I haven't gone back in where they were. I'm afraid there will still be a lot of tree debris left and it will cost too much for us to do anything with. Lance told me he could take care of it but we will have to pay him, too.
It's been unseasonably cool today and that's good. July and August are very hot months for us, usually. It was nice when I cut the trees out of the bird bath circle yesterday but I did get hot. It's because I'm not used to doing any physical labor like that. I'll get Lance to do it next time.
Mary Kate the kids will be coming for a visit this Thursday and staying until Monday evening. I'll need to get Jenn to come Saturday for 6 hours. Friday, we'll go to the two banks and get Mary Kate's name put on the accounts, and Saturday, we'll go shopping. I don't know what I'll shop for since I'm dieting and have recently bought a new purse. It will be fun to just all be together. I'll buy the kids a new book. That's a tradition I've started--we go to the bookstore and I buy each one a new book. I did that when I visited LaGrange, too.

Stayed Home
I stayed home today. It was the 1st day of the 5 day diet. So far so good. I have another shake to drink before the evening meal, which I plan to wait as late as I can to eat. My liver is still full of glucose and I probably won't get very hungry until tomorrow. I plan on making this work and hope to loose 1-2 lbs a week.
The man who will cut the trees came by today. They will cut them Saturday. We will have some dozer work to be done afterwards but I don't know how much or what kind of work he means. He's already done Bobby's trees. They will drive the logging truck on the road the goes around the house. I hope it doesn't destroy the pipe that goes under the road.
Tomorrow is the 4th of July. We will celebrate by watching Fox News celebrate. Trudy has to go pick up Sadie from girl's camp so they can't come over. I like quite holidays.

VA Office Again
I waited an hour to be the only person to see Mr Davis. He said he would mail the info in to the VA and in a month I would get a letter saying they had received the info and then I would have to wait to see what happened. The man in the H'ville VA office was more excited than Mr. Davis. Jenn said her husband went to the H'ville office instead of coming here. Live and learn.
My diet food came in today. Only 1,000 calories a day. I'll be starving all the time. I'll give it the old college try. I drank my last Coke today. It would be good not to take that bad habit back ever again.
After the VA office, I mailed a letter at the PO and then to Regions Bank to see if Trudy has to be with us when I put Mary Kate on our account, and she does. I have the power of attorney so Frank doesn't have to be there but the two girls do.
I went to Walmart for a few groceries, mostly fresh veggies. It was good timing for if I start the diet tomorrow, I will need to have greens on hand. It said I could eat green peppers but I don't like them.
Bro Hill came over today and changed the faucet in the bathroom. No more leaks. It took him almost an hour to do it. We surely appreciated it.
Last night the toilet in my bathroom backed up. Frank didn't awake me and he cleaned all the water off the floor himself. The laminate floor doesn't like water and some of the edges of the laminate are raised. For some reason, we are having problems with our toilets not wanting to flush. I found some water on the floor of the bathroom downstairs. Had to wash the rug in front of the toilet. Maybe that's not a good place for a rug.

My Drs Appointment
Trudy spent the night and I was able to go to Sam Mitchell's funeral and then go on to H'ville to see Dr Alexander. My appointment was at 12:30 PM and I didn't have to wait long. My leg had stopped hurting and the Dr was glad to hear that. He said if it was still hurting another surgery would be in order. I was out of the office by 1 PM. I stopped in Madison and went to Khol's. I had $30.00 in Khol's cash. I bought a new comforter and sham and a new purse. It's be a while until I carry the purse for I just got a new one when I went to see Mary Kate 6 weeks ago. I love purses. I'm glad it's the first of the month again and payday comes again, too!
Mary Kate will we coming up after the 4th of July for the week-end. She wants me to come down to see her before Trudy has her surgery, which is at the end of July, I think. I don't know. My diet food will be here shortly and I'll have to diet for two months at least. I get hungry just thinking of dieting, but I need to loose 15 lbs. Any pounds will be good. 4' 10" isn't tall enough to put an extra 15 pounds on. I'll miss the Coke the most.
