Who is Telling on Who

Day one and I have survived quite nicely.... but the left over pizza didn't.... In the midst of getting things organized for Carl's departure this weekend we had pizza and there were left overs left in the pizza box on the coffee table in the TV room.... there was also a can of almost empty coke on top of the box as well... while getting some things for my trip to the TV room yesterday afternoon I heard an odd noise so I went to check... nothing out of the ordinary... and Mr. Kodak was down there rolling his golf ball around... so I went up to get my stuff... when I went to go sit down I happen to kick a can which had laid nicely upside down leaving the remainder of the coke all over the floor... I cleaned up the mess and went to find something to watch on TV...

My two dogs tell on each other when the other does something... and it was Maggie's turn... she continued to move around the room and then come and look at me... of course I was not paying too much attention to what was going on until I turned around to put something in the trash basket that is next to my chair and found Mr. Kodak having a great little snack on the left over pizza... he actually knocked the can off the top of the pizza box got into it and grab himself a piece... it must have been driving him crazy... so I checked the box found another piece left there and gave it to Maggie who was probably not telling on him... but whining because he had something that she didn't...

I didn't sit around waiting for phone calls telling me that Carl had arrived at the airport or at Slave Lake... my afternoon was spent going out shopping with mom which is something rare... which is always nice... get alone time with her... which is something that is very rare with everyone around now a days... I am hoping that Roger is feeling a little better today because yesterday he looked and was feeling like heck....

Being alone there is not too many times I know what I am going to have for dinner... it is usually a wing it meal... what ever is in the house but Sunday we had a seafood night.... we picked up a bag of clams... each a small lobster, some shrimp and scallops.... I guess I knew that Carl was not going to have any of the good stuff while he was away and thought it would be nice to have it for kind of his last meal for a while at home... but while we were eating I started to put a little of everything a side thinking I had not had a quick chowder in a long time... and that would be great for dinner Monday night.... the only two things that were missing for this was cheese and 2% milk... and I picked up both on the way home...

I am wondering if Donald's ears are still ringing this morning because after cooking the onions and warming up the fish I sprinkled the cheese all over it and then started to pour the milk into the pan only to realize that the milk was coming out in chucks.... my chowder was spoiled... it had to be thrown out... I am glad there was no one around namely Donald the owner of the store I got the milk from... I know it was not his fault but it was his milk have to blame someone... I ended up with a bowl of chicken noodle soup for dinner while all that wonderful tasting seafood sat in my trash can... and Carl I know you are reading this so stop laughing it is not funny... LOl

Have a wonderful Tuesday guys... I am off to start my day... Joanne

News from the Hospital

Friday is a many thing day ... garbage day... pill day (when dad is home) bank day... straighten the house day... finish up the laundry day.. and actually think of a meal for dinner day because Carl is going to be home day... and most Fridays all of it is done before Carl walks into the house... yes I leave everything for the last minute... 

Well today we actually got some news on what is going on with dad being in the hospital this long... his water pills are working to a degree.. actually they decreased them since he has been in the hospital and are actually working better according to the doctor.... the tests for his lungs and heart came back good they are in good condition... but it seems that the water that is in his legs and feet is not being deduced as much as they like it so they are looking for something else to help this.... I do have to say that they are not feeling like steel pipes any more...there is actually some give to them... in the last week... way to go.... they also have him walking the floors in the hospital several times a day.... which is something he will have to continue when he comes home.... also they have put him on no added salt diet and is to continue when he gets home...since he has been in the hospital he has dropped a little over 20 pounds and continues to lose it... I am sure most of it has been water....so when is he coming home... we don't yet know but for the sake for Mom I hope it is soon... she is missing him so very much.... but between Roger, Pat and me she is up to see dad every day and get to spend time with him... well continue to let you know how thing are as they come up....

I was totally amused Friday morning by Kodak and Maggie ... were outside when the garbage man went by and not a sound came out of them... I thought ohhhh crap they got loose and they are in the woods again... but when I went to check on them they were both sitting on the step waiting to come in... Totally, totally amused...

The day started at 4:30 with the last of the photos to be printed edited and sent in to Walmart for printing... Well the last until I get snap happy again which will be soon I am use fall is coming....The honkers have been flying over head for the last days will that I noticed... The last two nights it has been helling Frost warning but only heavy dew is the only thing that has showed up.... 

Yvette called Thursday night for a check in and a chat ... missing our long chats... I am surprised that the phone company has not called to see if something is wrong since they are losing money with Yvette on vacation...just hope she took her camera with her... and actually took it out and became snap crazy so I can see Newfoundland through but if I know her she didn't... she is not a camera nut like I am LOL...

Well I should get my day started.... I hope your Saturday is a good one...
