MIDWEST: Monday April 29

[carross]

Good Morning!!  Its a damp morning, no idea of the temps or how high we will go.  Guess I need to check that out.
I will be back, 

[carross]

Its 53 and the high should be about 71 with rain off and on, I hope its off when I'm gone shopping.
Going to make a fast trip to the store, get gas and stop at KOT, don't want to be gone too long.  Can never tell about the weather.  If its raining I will spend some time cleaning, and doing nothing.  If I can I would like to work in the yard, its needs lots of work.

Yesterday was a pretty much do nothing day, I managed to wash the sheets and back on the bed, maded 2 meals, and pulled about 30 weeds.  I have them spring weeds, boy next fall I'm spraying for them, don't know where they came from, but lots of them.  No nap so I went to bed early and slept good.

Linda,  Need to ask!!  I have no idea about Ramekin eggs, please explain.  Still no hummers here but should be showing up soon.  The Rose Breasted Groesbeck are back, a real pretty bird and so peaceful.

Leroy,  We all forget things.  Sometimes I walk in a room and wonder what did I come in here for, go back to where I was and I remember.  More sleep is good for you.

Jan,  Internet is back, yes.  Did I read that right, you don't have thunder storms or tornados?  Our bedroom was pretty warm yesterday morning and I think thats why Ray had a hard time breathing. I too had a very lazy Sunday.

Connie,  Wondering was it a nap or soup?  No Menards for you, did Hubby buy any candy?  I remember reading Heloise many many years ago in the newspaper.

Lair,  What a great weekend you had.  Lots of plants?  Of course Dale liked your cinnamon rolls.  Rest today and do things tomorrow.

Mary,  Hail is loud and causes lots of damage. 

Have a great day and enjoy.

Good morning.  45, going to 68, with mostly sunny sky.  Tomorrow they are showing possibility of strong storms again.  The next 3 days after today don't look so good.

One more week to go before I see the pain doctor.  It keeps coming back.  I take Tylenol mostly, and a Tramadol at least once, along with Gabapentin, and some Relief Factor leftover from DW.  I sure hope he can come up with more relief.  I can only stay in the bed for a couple hours most of the time.  I switch between the wheelchair and the recliner the rest of the time.  Good thing the tennis is more exciting as it moves along.

I've contacted someone about mowing the back yard.  Haven't heard back yet.  I looked out the kitchen window yesterday, and it needs it pretty bad.

Have a good day.

Carol, 
The ramekin eggs…I spray the little ramekin dishes,add 2T salsa to each dish, add 1 egg to each, top with grated cheddar cheese. Place on small baking tray and  bake in preheated 400° oven for 12-14 minutes til eggs are done to your liking. Really easy and a bit different! We always have a nice breakfast on Sunday mornings.
Have to call my bird friend today and order more safflower cylinders…..funny how the starlings don’t go near them!
Have a good Monday everyone.

Good morning everyone.
    Carol, 40* here, going up to 55*, rain in forecast, none yet. Hope you don’t get the rain, especially if you don’t want it. We need it here. Never seen tornadoes here, so far,  but we do get thunderstorms. My internet wasn’t out, could get on other sites, just not on here. Said server not found.
    Leroy, one more week? I’m sorry you have to wait so long. Sure do hope you get some answers.
    Linda, I know your Ramekin egg instructions were for Carol, but I thank you for them too.
    Not much going on here today, will do the towel wash, some dusting. Pork chops in mushroom sauce for supper tonight.  Jan

Good morning,
Jan one day I couldn't get on out site.
It asked me some
questions. ???
It is nice now outside now. In the 60's.
They are still cleaning up from the
tornado that hit here in April 2.
I am waiting for the baby to visit.
I vacuumed the living room. He likes
to get in the floor and play. He has a
stash of toys here.
Leroy, hope you can get a answer for
your pain. Take care you all.
I am going to try to get ready to leave
the weekend.

Good Morning everyone.  Not the most inspiring morning.  It ia overcast and gloomy,  the temp is 43 going for a high or 52 degrees later.  I am not sure what we have done here but all around us they are getting 3 plus inches of rain the last few days but in my rain gauge I only got .43" over the weekend.  I'm sure that is right because I have 2 rain gauges and don't think they are both wrong.  I had to go out the garage last night and bring in 2 ferns I bought this weekend.  This morning I remembered I forgot my Fuchsia I bought out in the garage,  I am sure they will survive the cold but they must need water because they get watered daily in the greenhouse.  I'm just working on little chores around the house but first I need a shower.  You all have a good day.

Jan, 
I just posted the Ramekin Eggs recipe for Carol because she asked about it…hope you will try it too and enjoy it and of course, anyone else.

Just checking in. I had my 6 mo. eye dr. appt. for my glaucoma check. My pressures were good so the new eye drops are working. I'm scheduled for another 6 mo. check the end of Oct. She said I can still hold off on the cataract surgery. Years down the line they might be able to do a glaucoma/cataract surgery as a combo thing, and have medicare cover it. Right now, I can't see squat because of my dilated eyes. 

I have a load of clothes in the wash machine. I don't need to be able to see to do that. I'm waiting on the dryer. 

I guess it's gonna be a chilled out afternoon until I can see properly again. I did see some dandelions popped up, so I can get my knife and chase after them. Youtube will probably be my came out spot for the afternoon.

I thought I got a lot done today but when I list it, it's not that much. had to run to the grocery store as I had no butterscotch chips for the Oatmeal Scotchies I made to take to the VA tomorrow. Wiped off the slats on the big window shade in the kitchen. I cleaned both the bathrooms and that took quite a while, ironed a couple tops to wear tomorrow and Weds, hung the repaired bird feeder out on one of the shepard hooks that have the bird feeders. DH moved my big plant back out onto the front porch; hope it will be safe from frost etc. And best of all I held down the easy chair for quite some time.

Carol the soup won and we had that last night and again tonight. Copycat Olive Garden Pasta Fagioli!

I am heading to bed soon and hope I sleep tonight as tomorrow is 5 AM getup time! Funny how 2 weeks can change things...it will be hard! Have a good night!
