Not much to say?

Really don't have much to say...well I actually might, but just gathering my thoughts in my head right now.
Well, most tv stations converted to digital cable, even though Obama gave everyone til June 17th....to give the dummies that have had a year to get their converter boxes a few more months. Give an inch, they will want a mile.
That's pretty much the thing with a lot of people. You give them something, and they want more. You help them with something, and they want more help. Sometimes that can be considered a compliment...other times it is just that they don't want to do for themselves....laziness. Yes, some people would call me narrow-minded. Actually I'm very open-minded about a lot of things. But when I'm a taxpayer, and some of my hard earned money is going to people who refuse to get off their butts and GO TO WORK...well...I definitely do not respect them, and I do get pissed. I understand the handicapped and elderly needing help. I don't have a problem with that. But even in these hard times, there will always be a job. It may not be what you are used to doing, but it's a wage...be it ditch digging, dish washing, babysitting, trash collector, you name it...it's income! It may not be much, but it's income! I'd rather help someone who is trying to help themselves, instead of just forking money over to someone who just likes to sit and say "woe is me" and doesn't do anything about it.
Gosh, guess I did have something to say.
So far, husband's job is still safe. Next month, who knows. I am still worried about MY job as well. Nothing I can do but keep on keeping on. Get up every day, and go to work....do my job as well as I can....prove myself. But then, I've always done that. Today is going to be a very busy day, and one of my two twelve hour days. Busy busy busy. A big difference from my lazy three days off. I really didn't do much....and yes I do feel guilty.

HoHum

I feel so silly after going to the doctor's office. What I'm doing for my knee is exactly what he wants me to do. I got a prescription for another ailment. I admitted that I put off going to him for different things. He then looked at my file and said "you are over due for a pap test, mammogram, and you are 50 (actually I'm a couple years over 50), so you need your first colonoscopy. Also we need to check your cholesterol and do a glucose test to check for diabetes." Diabetes runs in my family. And I'm borderline as it is. It's been a few years since I was last checked for that. Anyway, I said blood tests yep...fine....next Monday, but the rest....well..lets put that off until I get my other stuff taken care of...the stuff I was there for in the first place. He said okay. Here he was ready to set up appointments for all that other stuff for me. UGH UGH UGH. How much torture do I NEED? Spread my legs in stirrups so he can poke around in my nether region....then get my boobs mashed (which aint that bad), and then have a scope stuck up my butt? Men don't go through NEAR as much as us women. I think MEN invented all these torturous things! Getting old sure does suck. Did I say that in the other post? Well.... I mean it....dammit!

Nothin much going on....

Kid has scholar's bowl tourney out of town this afternoon and evening, so won't see her til around 8 or 9 tonight when she calls for me to pick her up at the high school. Husband is going to work a few extra hours as well. (yay we need that extra moolah). I have a doctor's appt. in about an hour....and I don't wanna go, but gotta go. Since I haven't done laundry this past weekend, I have plenty of time to do it now....which I am doing at this very moment.
Went to walmart yesterday for a few things. Checked to see if they had veggie seeds in yet. NOPE! I was wanting to get a head start on getting seeds started. Especially while I'm in the mood! Daughter picked up a ton of acorns that had dropped from the big old oak tree...from our ex-flower beds. Don't want baby oak trees growing up through the ground where we will be planting our veggies. Buying and starting from seeds indoors is cheaper than buying mater plants...so much better. Same with pepper plants. Hmmm maybe even a little broccoli would be good. YUMMY! And of course maybe cukes. Last year I had quite a few cukes, but they never seemed to be ready to pick all at the same time. So I never had enough to pickle! I would like just a couple of plants for having fresh veggies/salads to eat. No canning of those. Although if I found some good recipes....ah maters, peppers and onions are the most important. I know daughter and hubby would LOVE to have pickled okra. eh...we will see bout that. Do need green beans. Never have gotten to can those yet. And would be good time to learn how to use my pressure cooker that sits in the cupboard, never been used.
Have this feeling I may be waiting a spell at the doc's office. So will take knitting with me. Have always taken my knitting to places where I have a tendency to wait. Dentist office....yup....medical clinic waiting on others....yup yup...sitting in the car while daughter has piano lesson...yup yup yup!
Well, since I don't go to the doc often at all...better dig out my insurance card....don't need to be standing there tryin to find it while at the clinic.
Need to shower and put some clothes on. Yep... gotta do that once in awhile too. hah!
All of a sudden I look around and see things I need to do....because I don't wanna go to the appt. Funny...those things I need to do....never bothered me much before...now that I have to go to the doctor's appt. UGH!
