OMG!!! I found out I have a "little" bit of arthritis in my left knee....If that is a "little" bit of arthritis someone is chopping off my left leg BEFORE it becomes "big" arthritis.....OMG the pain....I thought I was a tough cookie but.....oh just shoot me now...I say I was a tough cookie because I guess I broke my left foot and didn't bat an eye...never knew it...I had to have my feet x-rayed for some thing quite a few years ago and the radiologist asked me when I broke my left foot....of course I had to look at her like she had a third eye and said I didn't and she said yes you did, right here and she showed me.....she said it would never break there again...lol....told her I had no idea...AND to top it all off I have a "pinched sciatic nerve" 😒 (right side)that also hurts....very bad...I have missed quite a bit of work because of it (nerve and knee) to but physical therapy is doing wonders for the nerve and cortisone is doing wonders for the knee....and I found out from the therapist...I have "weak hips" LOL
I also found out don't go to urgent care if you want to live...Just sayin The last time my knee acted up I went to urgent care for it because I didn't want to clog up the ER because my knee hurt......I will NEVER make that mistake again......I waited....are you sitting? FIVE FREAKEN HOURS .....to find out they could do NOTHING for me...(they were nice enough to fix it so I would not get a bill when they found out how long I waited, which I thought was nice....and my poor friend Dennis who took me to urgent care insisted I go to the ER (at a different hospital) so I did waited 20 min......to hear them say ....Get this...OH we don't do orthopedic stuff here.....WHAT?!?!?!?! What happens if you break a bone??? refused to be seen so no bill from there either....but at least it was 20 min NOT 5 hrs.
We have had our first snow of the season barely a trace supposed to get mort sometime today....I do have to find one of those thingy's for the end of your cane with the claws on it for the ice....hopefully I won't need the "stick" for long..better safe than sorry tho.
Anyway that's whats up in my silly little world

Well it is....I see this guy on the bus every once in a while and every time he is just pissed off at the world for one reason or another and everything in between....and lets the entire bus know about it...The smart ass in me wanted to ask him "who peed in your Cheerios this morning?"But I held my tongue. Can't be to careful nowadays. Thankfully I don't see him a lot.
Well garage roof is done! Pretty green shingles....Garage is painted..."Elegant Charcoal" (LOL Med Gray) foundation is painted the same color.....and still have pait enough to paint the entire neighbor hood!! LMAO I bought 15 gallons....I had no idea it would take less that 5 gallons to pain the garage,after all it is a big two car garage...anyway and may be another 3 to do the foundation of the house.I had to do some "foundation fixin too had to figure out how to get the mortar in the cracks ...you know they make that stuff in a caulk form!! ..that isn't easy to do either! I also have to put some new window glazing on my basement windows cant wait to find out how bad I am at that...lol I need to get some green paint to do them (windows) (ONE gallon ought to do it..lol) I will eventually do my front porch also..... (And will prolly still have paint left lol) Grand total...$3119.00....👀 . All I have left on the official notice is the garage door need to be fixed.
Well that's what's up in my world....

WELL I wish I could find the Yahoos that keep dumping their garbage in the back by my garage.....someone had dumped two QUEEN sized mattresses and from my vantage point out my kitchen windows the looked like they were across the alley from me.....anyway (5/1) I get a lovely "blue" notice from the city to "remove the bulky refuse" from your premises within 24 hours or you will be fined....SOOOOOO I get on the horn and call everyone I know "do you know anyone with a truck? All no's (I think everyone should know someone with a truck but...I have no control over that..lol)...anyway the next day I get home and there is a lovely "pink" notice on my door stating that I needed to remove "the bulky refuse" from my property or get fined $50.00....I am thinking to myself ok come get the damn "bulky refuse" and bill me....simple...(this was 5/2) okay....5/3 I get a letter in the mail......you need to get rid of the "bulky refuse" or you will be charged $295.00+ for a private contractor to remove it ........(mouth drop)...so I am back on the horn.....my neighbor "informed me that the city came and got it and said they were doing a "FREE"picking up of unwanted refuse...............SIGH

Hi everyone..hope you survived Christmas and New Years! My Thanksgiving wasn't bad...no dinner at the "Midwest Center" I found out that is for Christmas ...lol....I was going to go for Christmas but the buses run on their holiday (Sunday) schedule and I get off work several hours before they started serving....and just got lazy..and stayed home. The Sunday bus schedule really sucks....
The weather here has been great up until Tuesday....now it is way cold...was in the 50's!!!!!!!!! was nice for January.
I did get Thanksgiving for breakfas the following morning...lol The 'Church Lady' fed me!
I found out after new year that one of the residents I used to take care of passed away....very sad loved her to bits. I wish I had known she was in the hospital I would have gone to see her for sure.
Well That's about all that's up in my world...

We will be getting a new Bus driver in January I think that's when they change things up....you know schedules...drivers, that kinda thing ...well the diver who takes over for the guy on the 53 in the early morning is going to have some big shoes to fill....LOL we riders in the early mornings have become "accustomed" to a certain amount of "entertainment" in the morning...This driver is sooooo funny....most days he has the whole bus ( there are at least 7 of us that are regulars) in stitches...
