I didn't go to exercise today. I wanted to go to H'ville to the music store and I wanted to go early. I got some piano books and bought a ukulele. I had given my old one to Frankie and Alita wants to learn how to play one. It came with a book with chords and songs. I've been playing some songs tonight. It came with a CD and a DVD, a carrying case, a book, but no pick. I think I'll see if Sophorona would like too buy it from me because I don't really need a ukulele! It'll be fun for all the Wright kids to play with.
Trudy came over right after I got back from H'ville. We went to town and put her name on our bank accounts so if anything happens to us, she will be prepared to step in and help out. We lost a check book here at the house and Regions is going to order another one for us. Trudy will stay until Wednesday.
Tomorrow Frank goes to see Dr. Walker, in town. He will learn about his blood sugar and if he's pre-diabetic or not. His first blood test came out to blood sugar at 200. He had another blood test at the hospital to double check the count, I guess. Trudy will go along with us. It'll be good to find out what is causing his speech problems and his unsteady gait.

Saturday
It rained most of the day so I stayed inside. I cleaned the kitchen sink-I hadn't unloaded the clean dishwasher and had been piling dishes in the sink. I finally unloaded the dishwasher and sprayed the sinks down and got them clean. I did all of this before I got dressed.
I vacuumed the floors and filters and then mopped the floors. They really needed it. We sat and watched TV until supper. We had pancakes for supper. After scripture reading, we put the birds to bed and went to our rooms. The house is usually quite by 7 PM. We can watch TV in our rooms and not disturb the birds.
I usually read on my Kindle for 1 1/2 hours before I go to bed. I found three books by the same author that had 5 star ratings that I bought from Amazon. They are police mysteries which I enjoy. I also bought another book by an English author and the total for all the books was $10.something. There was another book by an author I especially like but it was $ 15 something and I thought it was too much for right now. Maybe later, plus the subject of the book was kind of dark and I didn't want to be involved in that.
I hope you enjoyed your trip , Kathy. It was nice of you to call and check up on us. Frank has an appointment with the family Dr to get the report on the blood tests he's taken. One said his blood sugar was 200 and we need to find out if that's what's going on with him now.

Busy, Busy
Got up at the usual 7 AM. Went to exercise at 8:30. Came home for piano lessons at 10:00. Had Carrielee's younger sister, age 7 to teach also. I wasn't prepared with a book but I will get one soon. Maybe tomorrow. Dr Walker's office called and said Frank was to go to the hospital and get a blood test, so around 11:00 we went and had that done. We came back to the house and had lunch. I had a hair appointment at 1:30 PM. Kari did a good job with the hair cut. I cooked black beans and brown rice for supper. I made a lot and put some in the freezer. I have some barley soup in the freezer too. I have three or more pounds of ground beef I got at Sam's I have to put up tomorrow. I have been looking in cookbooks for recipes but have not found many yet. Maybe I'll try the internet, too. This is written with no paragraphs but this is the way my mind is going.
My hip gets nervous energy in it at night and I have to take a pain pill so I can relax enough to go to sleep. I hope the nurse will understand this if I need any more medicine.
Elita is the name of Carrielee's younger sister. She is quite musical like Carrielee. I may be teaching her to play the uke as soon as they get her one. I guess that means I have to get a uke too. I gave mine to Frankie. I need some music with folk songs in them. Maybe a uke songbook. Maybe I'll go to A.B. Stephens music store tomorrow. Who knows...except the Shadow.

All Is Well
My dear friend Kathy called me to see if everything was okay here. I hadn't written in several days. It's because there were two days that I didn't do anything and I didn't want to write about doing nothing. I guess I should write something every day so no one will be worried.
Today I went up to Trudy's for lunch. I had some errands to run in H'ville and she didn't have anything planned, so we climbed into my car and I drove us into H'ville.
I had to stop at the SAS store to pick up two pair of shoes that we had ordered. I can't believe I got into a size 61/2W. I haven't worn a 61/2 size shoe since high school. I usually have to get a larger size for the width. These were very expensive shoes but if they do well, I might get another pair. Wearing them only on Sunday and for dress up times, they should last me for years. I'm not a shoe person so I can wear the same pair of shoes a long time. Now purses are a different thing. I like to change up purses every 6-8 months. The purse I'm carrying now is a Villager by someone famous but Mary Kate picked it up at a thrift store. She picked out one of my old purses and I got hers. I like it for it isn't too large but it is roomy and I can see where everything is when I open it.
We stopped by Sam's to get my fiber. Walmart sells it for $9.98 and I can get it at Sam's for two for $12.98. I got some ground beef and some bananas.
We ate lunch at the Chinese grill. The food is good but it's a bit pricey. It was $27.00 for the three of us, but it was good and we enjoyed ourselves.
When we got back to Trudy's, I had to look at the chickens. They are getting about 14 eggs a day. George sells them for $2.00 a dozen. The chickens looked good. Carheartt has a bulging disc in his back and is confined to the bathroom so he can rest and heal. He wasn't his old self. He's 7 years old and over weight so for a dash hound that's not good.
I got home around 3 PM and had to take the garbage out. Really, I just put the sacks in the garbage can and the boys carry the can out to the road. It's time for me to make them a cake in thanks, but I just haven't felt like doing it. Maybe soon. I do appreciate them carrying the can out for me.

CT Scan
Frank got his CT scan this morning bright and early. After lunch, I took the birds down to Hartselle to get their nails,wings, and beaks trimmed. I was tired before I went and tireder when I got home.
It's supposed to storm tonight after midnight. I'll go to exercise tomorrow morning and then have a piano lesson at 10 AM. Bubba and Ruth are coming to town and we will eat lunch together. It should be a good day.
Trudy wanted to go to Hartselle but she was down in her back. I couldn't wait until next week for the birds. She'll have to go another time.
Frank's back is hurting tonight. Perhaps the back surgeon will have a good solution to the back pain.

Dr Again
We went to H'ville to see Dr Cosgrove. He decided that he couldn't do the procedure on Frank and that he needed to see a spine surgeon. He recommended one of the Dr's that was in the SportsMed group and we got an appointment to see him. We ate at McDonald's on the way home. We stopped by the pharmacy and picked up 2 Rx's and then got some gas. I also bought some ibuprofen and 2 gallons of milk. I paid more for the milk there but it really was a convenience.
Trudy had a funeral to go to today and didn't come over. She'll be over tomorrow at 11 AM. She'll go to Hartselle with me to take the birds to the vet. I'm glad for I will need some help getting the three birds in their carriers into the building.
Tomorrow Frank has a CT scan of his head. Hopefully, if anything is wrong, it will show up. He may have had a mini stroke for he has an uncertain gait and he can't talk plainly. The scan is at 8:15 AM and we'll need to leave the house by 7:50 AM to get there with plenty of time.

Visiting
I went to the bank to get the stuff out of the safety deposit box. We've lost one key and it will cost $25.00 to get it replaced. I made copies of most things but ended up putting the originals in the "After I'm Gone" book. We don't really have anything to put back into the box now.
From the bank, I drove out to visit Wanda and her family. Tina was there. She has lost 100 lbs or more and looked very nice. She had Heather's baby boy Xane, pronounced Zane. He is a pretty boy and such a good baby. After breaking her back last year, Wanda broke her foot and had a boot on. We talked about the joys of old age and had a good time. I came back home and rested.
Monday and today my hip has bothered me. I'm not as well as I think I am. Tomorrow, Frank sees Dr Cosgrove about having a procedure on his back for pain. I don't know if Trudy will be there or not. She didn't come back over after her visit to the pain clinic like she said she would. She really needs to spend time at home. I worry about her relationship with George with her over here so much, plus Sadie needs her there. Forrest will be starting Calhoun Jr College sometime soon. I hope he enjoys it. My kids did.
Mary Kate will have her knee operated on Tuesday. I hope the Dr gets all the junk that's in her knee out and she won't have anymore trouble with it. I only wish I could be there for her, but that's not possible.
