plans for the weekend

I had a good day yesterday. I did eat at a salad bar place ( my daughter was already there, or I wouldn't have picked it ) I only had a small salad......that was it. I had little dressing and no cheese. Then I had left over spagetti for dinner. Last night was the 1st night in a while that I wanted to eat in the evening. I went upstairs and just went to bed early. So good for me! I walked on the treadclimber at work and around the park at my grandson's football practice.


Saw the surgeon about my knee. I asked him if I could wait awhile and see if what happens. Cause for one thing I don't have the deductile yet, another is if I can loose a little more weight I can could put it off for a while. The doctor told me that the tear isn't going to repair it's self and I shouldn't wait too long. Well I guess I better really start thinking of a way to get the money. I can't afford another monthly payment right now, so I hate to do a payment plan thing. I wish I didn't have to worry about being able to afford medical care. I have a job, I work, and I have insurance, yet I worry about coming up with money for this thing. Dang it. Oh well...something will happen. Things always work out.


I am still feeling like a real person, so I will be grateful today. I am going to sit with my 84 year old friend tonight. She always makes me smile. I have walked this morning and I am looking forward to Subway for lunch. I am going on GeGe ( that's me, I don't feel like a grandma ) and grandson date tomorrow. He got 2 stars everyday at school and he wants time with me as a reward. It just doesn't get any better. I am going to take him to the Monsters movie and a healthy lunch. I have plans with a friend to go walking in the morning.....and I will go to church. I always feel so good after I have go.

Have a great weekend

    I hope you somehow get the costs covered for your knee and you're right everything usually works out. I've had a similiar situation with my son, even with insurance there were additional costs not covered by insurance and somehow we were able to come up with the money.

    I love the name of GG! I can tell you have a close relationship with your grandson. Hope you had a great time with him and have a great weekend!

    Sounds like you've got some GREAT plans there girl. Planning ahead is key!
    I'm so sorry about your knee. Everything will work out. Just hang in there. Just keep on working on losing weight . Less weight will make it so much easier to hobble around on a bum knee . Keep your chin up! Jinx!

    Good luck with the knee. Check with a second opinion to see if that doctor is also pushing for you to get it fixed asap!

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
