Always with positive thoughts no matter what !BarbZeeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12633604866252966965noreply@blogger.comBlogger1636125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259533774977201059.post-32278322664173725902018-04-19T19:03:00.001-07:002018-04-19T19:03:24.348-07:00It's Thursday EveIt's Thursday Eve.... my day wasn't toooooo bad.. I haven't heard anything on my<br />
motor home so I guess tomorrow I'll make that call and find out when it's coming<br />
home .... amazing this whole ordeal is beyond me.<br />
<br />
This morning I did some errands and it actually felt good getting out..I really need<br />
to start getting out more but I really need to wait till my eye surgery is done then<br />
it's gonna be maybe a little get out of dodge.<br />
<br />
My nights have been rough as I'm not able to just fall asleep..takes me a few hours<br />
and then by midnight I'm out and up at 5am..so I'm only getting about 4 to 5 hours<br />
but I really think cause I'm bored during the day and I fall asleep for an hour and<br />
that throws my whole system off kilter.<br />
<br />
This weekend my Rudy shows I sure hope he and his handler get it together.. and that<br />
Rudy is eating better..he's been off and on his food but I think a lot has to do with the<br />
change in his life..<br />
<br />
If he's not happy, he'll come home that's it..plain and simple..Dog shows are not that<br />
important to me..he's so worthy of doing some fantastic winning which he has and<br />
I'd like him to continue but it's not the most important thing to me.<br />
<br />
Now my Annie is giving me the look..she's become Queen Bee and boy she does only<br />
what she wants and gives me what for too.. Too fuinny..<br />
<br />
I'm now getting tired and I'll crawl in bed watch a little TV and say my prayers then<br />
Lord willin it's off to Wonderland..<br />
<br />
Sweet Dreams God Bless<br />

First Lady Barbara Bush went home to the Lord.. She was one First Lady that<br />
I truly did admirer.. Loved her humor and also loved her principal what she<br />
stood for.. She was a Classic that did tell it like it is ...<br />
<br />
Most of my days have just been gliding through.. my body seems to be getting<br />
back into a routine...my depression is somewhat subsiding as I'm now starting<br />
to let go.. Not that I don't miss Robert cause Lord I miss him every day.. but<br />
I'm beginning to come to terms with it..<br />
<br />
Now trying to get my Ducks in Order as they say and attempt to put something<br />
together for me and my "Kids".. Hoping also that my motor home gets it's act<br />
together as well or I'm going to have to make a decision to trade her in.. I hope not<br />
cause there are a lot of things I do like about her..if I ever get the chance to really<br />
enjoy her..<br />
<br />
My Rudy is starting to settle in and hopefully gain his weight back and enjoy<br />
his time with his new handlers and I can't wait for the day for him to come home.<br />
I'm giving him his chance for him to accomplish his goals and then it's home to<br />
ME and Annie and Ms Shug..cause he is really missed.<br />
<br />
Next I'm going to having eye surgery in a few weeks so I can see.. it's been difficult<br />
as my eyes are some what blurry..so I'm only doing what I have to..I'm not reading what<br />
I'm typing only if it's wrong spell check with help..I hope !!<br />
<br />
So that's my saga for now...other than I paid my taxes..the Blood Suckers and all my<br />
bills are paid..now I can go to bed say my prayers and Thank God and Robert for all<br />
that what I have and Am..<br />
<br />
God BlessBarbZeeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12633604866252966965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259533774977201059.post-67959686718141646662018-04-14T19:27:00.001-07:002018-04-14T19:27:40.875-07:00Here We Are Saturday NightHere we are Saturday night.. went through last night with the USA, UK and France<br />
taking out the chemical plants in Syria.. For what that rotten SOB did to his people.<br />
Dropping poisonous chemicals on innocent Men, Woman and Children.. That Scum<br />
of the Earth should be put in a room with poisonous gases until he chokes to death !<br />
<br />
I was just so out of it to think this still happens today...after everything what we went<br />
through with what Hitler did to his people.. God Help Us.. I'm just so proud of President<br />
Trump whether you voted for him or not.. He said, he would not let that happen again <br />
without retaliation.... and that he did.. !!!<br />
<br />
Today I kind of settled back listening to all the reports and the nonsense with Russia and<br />
of course the UN Ambassador to Syria .... How dare they is all I can say..They ought to<br />
be thrown out of the UN..They are like Rabid Animals.<br />
<br />
I pray that Karma will play out on that kind..They are in human. Every night I go to bed<br />
I ask God to help us...please take this Evil out of this world..That people will start caring<br />
about others and bring God back into their lives..<br />
<br />
Some days I want to say, "Scotty, beam me up" cause just hearing the news is dreadful.<br />
Never happy things just murder, rapes, hit and runs, robberies..God, it's awful.<br />
<br />
Now I'm getting ready to head to bed and pray again...thanking the dear Lord for my day<br />
and praying that if tomorrow comes may it be peaceful..<br />

I was a tad bit nervous.. Said my prayers many times and<br />
I just had to keep myself busy.. I had to go up on the Internet to find out what it was about..Let<br />
me say this...Worse thing you could do...Why? Because not all tests are done the same way and<br />
your mind takes off on you adding more than what it actually is.<br />
I kept busy till it was time for Bob and Diane to come and pick me up.. In fact I sat outside and<br />
was watching my birds..Keeping positive thoughts all the way.<br />
When we got their and early too they took me in right away.. Diane came in the room with me<br />
and she said, "I'll even hold your hand.. and she did.. We laughed but you know it did make<br />
me feel better as she watched and to be honest with you.. It wasn't all that bad..<br />
Only thing the eye drops burned after that I had no feeling and the young girl proceeded just<br />
joking with me and I just took a deep breath and the rest was history..<br />
Afterwards I really couldn't focus well but that too went away quickly.. So then I said to Diane<br />
and Bob lets go for dinner.. I felt great that they both were with me..supporting me. I know my<br />
Robert would have been very happy that they stood by me..<br />
Had a great dinner and here I am getting ready for bed.. Next is my Doctor appointment to<br />
get clearance for May 3rd .. right eye to be done..<br />
So I thank God my day went well...and I'll thank him again for my friends as well..<br />

Because tomorrow late<br />
afternoon I have to go and have an Eye Immersion Test Done.. The sound is awful<br />
but they assured me they numb the eye and it's no big deal..just don't look to see<br />
what they do..<br />
Gosh, my brain goes into over drive just thinking about it..but you know there is nothing<br />
I can do as I have to have it..So put on my Depends and pull them suckers up and get<br />
the dang thing over..<br />
I have to have eye surgery and there is no way I can go with out it as I'm not able to<br />
see properly. ...These things with your eyes are always scary I don't care who you are.<br />
No one said I had to wear " I'm brave badge." Hope not cause I'm not really..some things<br />
we have no choice cause If I did...I'd be long gone down the road. LOL<br />
Chicken Little fits me just fine !! <br />
Watched Survivor tonight to try and relax and of course I had my Special Cocoa..so here<br />
I sit on my computer and doing my thing..Perhaps I'll play a few games then call it a<br />
night..<br />
MIss Annie is giving me a What for ??? So that's it until tomorrow..<br />
Lord please give me courage..

thrown at me again... I guess it's just something I'm gonna have to deal with..<br />
First off I heard from the new handler I have my Rudy with and he was telling me<br />
he is having difficulty keeping weight on Rudy... That went right to my stomach<br />
and heart.. Did I make the right choice..is Rudy not happy ? Lord now I've got<br />
to make the right decision.<br />
So I began with, If he's not happy I want him home.. and of course it was, he's healthy<br />
just gets bored with his food..does good for 3 days and then skips the next dinner..They<br />
are trying all kinds of food combinations but they say, "he eats good at home but on the<br />
road he goes off..<br />
My feeling is, it might be the adjustment, but I'll only give him a few weeks and if it<br />
doesn't turn around home Rudy comes..He doesn't have to prove anything..He's a Star<br />
in my Heart and that is all that matters..<br />
Well then that next day I get a call... someone is doing false advertisement proclaiming<br />
their dog wond Royal Canin...it's actually a play on words as their dog did win one day<br />
but not the Royal Canin show..so I had to call the publisher of the magazine to have<br />
them make it right...Haven't heard that outcome we shall see..<br />
Now I'm getting close to going for the Immersion test for my right eye...I'm a nervous<br />
wreck..but I have no choice I have to have it down so I can get my eyes operated on..<br />
Don't mind if I throw up..just too much again all at the same time..Give me a break please!<br />
Now I need to crawl in bed and hug on Miss Annie as she is my comfort zone and her<br />
love is my healing..<br />
Praying for those in need...God BlessBarbZeeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12633604866252966965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259533774977201059.post-7324430044408342392018-04-08T19:33:00.001-07:002018-04-08T19:33:32.688-07:00Sunday Night, I'm Ready For BedSunday Night I'm Ready For Bed... my stomach is some what coming along ...slowly.<br />
My nerves are starting to also come around.. Too many issues I'm trying to level out.<br />
Some things I can't change and others, well I just have to take it gradually.<br />
<br />
Worry about my boy Rudy as he's having problems putting some weight on..Not sure<br />
if it's change from one handler to another or maybe even missing ME???? Give him<br />
a little time to come around and see how it goes..<br />
<br />
This week I've got blood work to get done on Tuesday and then on Thursday I have that<br />
immersion test that has to be done on my right eye..Now that has me a little over the top<br />
but I have no choice I have to get it done.. I mean I have to be able to see..and without it<br />
the eye surgery can't get completed..<br />
<br />
See so many detours to drive you over the top..but I'm not the first to have it done so I<br />
need to pull up my big girl panties and get it over with..and stop thinking the worst..<br />
Easy said than done!<br />
<br />
Annie is doing good and she's now bonding so close to me..she knows when I'm not well<br />
and boy she comes in for the hugs.. helps me..<br />
<br />
Sent my IRS checks in today..buggers but have to pay it like it or not..and now get all<br />
my other things in order..<br />
<br />
Getting there SLOWLYBarbZeeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12633604866252966965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259533774977201059.post-73281549410454413352018-04-07T19:19:00.002-07:002018-04-07T19:19:51.908-07:00Saturday Night, Feeling Some What BetterSaturday Night, Feeling somewhat better... I had made a call to one of my RV long time<br />
friends and asked her advice.. as being I was having problems with my stomach and<br />
fearing all kinds emotions... I knew she would be the best one to bounce it off of...<br />
<br />
I called my neighbor to also help and get some meds from the store as I wasn't able<br />
to drive..and they did and down it went..Milk of Magnesia ..not my favorite but it<br />
helped and today of course I didn't go anywhere stayed close to the bathroom..<br />
<br />
Hopefully this will have solved some of my problems...my nerves have been so<br />
shot and dealing with everything that has gone wrong and also sliding into a depression<br />
has been more that I'm able to handle right now.<br />
<br />
I did get my appointment for my eye surgery but I have to have another test done on<br />
my right eye as the cataract is so thick.. why am I so lucky..but I've got to get it done !<br />
<br />
Tonight I'm just taking it easy and trying to get all these crazy thoughts out of my head<br />
and just keep positive.. all around me has been so sad..too many friends having cancer<br />
and hearing bad results..<br />
<br />
Things have got to start changing, Lord I sure am praying and just taking it day by day.<br />
<br />
One of my hummers, and it's one that has come to see me for several years I even named<br />
him...showed up tonight.. I smiled as he went right to his perch..I don't know how long<br />
they live but I remember showing Robert this little guy..was so good to see him and<br />
my heart smiled..<br />
<br />
Now I'm gonna head to bed..Miss Annie is waiting on me as we watch and old classic<br />
on TV and the electric blanket is warming our bed.. I pray for all that we all have a<br />
better world that this crazy nonsense will stop and people will go back to caring about<br />
others..<br />
<br />

my tree no longer exists.. I watched as they took it down limb by limb and I felt<br />
so bad.. I had to take it down that was the sad part as the bottom of the trunk of<br />
the tree was rotted out..<br />
<br />
I watched and so did my birds that flew by.. I was the keeper of that tree for almost<br />
11 years and I loved it as my birds would come and sit up in her and fly down to the<br />
feeder..<br />
<br />
Broke my heart watching her go...the guys did a really good job and in her spot I'm<br />
going to plant Crepe Myrtle ..several trees and hopefully my birds will be happy..<br />
<br />
Amazing how all that little stuff can mean something ...it did to me as I sat in my<br />
chair day after day looking out and watching all that would come fly up in her and<br />
zoom down to get their goodies..<br />
<br />
Now as for me...well, I'm feeling better as far as my cold goes but I've been having<br />
another issue..with my going to the bathroom..the dreaded, can't go..not that I'm<br />
constipated I just can seem to have a normal movement and I strain..which causes<br />
me burning and itching..and frightened again ..what's causing the changes..<br />
<br />
I've had so much going on my nerves have been shot and it always hits me in my stomach.<br />
Now another panic mode falls into place so I tried to do some reading and for the first<br />
time I'm trying suppositories Prep H..only problem, weird as it is, I hope I'm doing the<br />
right thing..<br />
<br />
I have so many issues that one just goes into the other and the straining is awful..Why again<br />
am I going from one mess to another.. I've never had problems like this and it seems to just<br />
multiply..<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I go to my Eye Doc to get pre op for Cataract Surgery and then follow up with <br />
blood word for my Doctor's visit the end of the month..Lord I hope and pray all this passes<br />
I keep hearing everyone coming down with some sort of Cancer and remembering everything<br />
Robert went through.. I'm sick, just falling apart letting everything get to me..<br />
<br />
I sure do wish I had the answers..BarbZeeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12633604866252966965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259533774977201059.post-35028563192297206762018-04-04T19:25:00.002-07:002018-04-04T19:25:30.420-07:00What Good Friends Are ForWhat Good Friends Are For !!!!!! I have to say I have but a few but the ones I do have are<br />
fantastic.. Today I was in one of those..."help me out of this valley of gloom"..Can't even<br />
tell you why I went down deep but I did go pretty deep.<br />
<br />
My friend Jane, she was there like Johnny on the Spot.. even after many years of she and<br />
I fighting ....well, friends get over that crap and get on with the next day.. If you are really<br />
a friend .<br />
<br />
Being sick hasn't helped me either...kind of added to that gloom and of course I went into<br />
over drive panic mode..wanted to ball my eyes out but I kept fighting that off.. Perhaps I<br />
should just let it all out.. might that really be the answer ???? Don't know but I do have<br />
to start thinking positive and start taking care of myself and stop being afraid..that dang<br />
damn fear factor is a killer !!!<br />
<br />
Well now I'm sitting at my computer just letting flow of my fingertips..hope and pray that<br />
helps ...other than banging my head up against the wall..just looked over and Miss Annie<br />
is curling up in her spot..guess I'm gonna have to fight her for mine .<br />
<br />
Starting to feel some what better and I hope and pray the rest of my issues will come to<br />
rest too.. so I'm gonna say my prayers and look forward to tomorrow..<br />
<br />

Last night was a hard one but<br />
I did get in a good night sleep and woke up at 5:30am. I prayed to Jesus and Mother Mary.<br />
That feeling that over comes me I have no control and as I sat and wrote on my blog and<br />
then went to bed praying .... my body relaxed.<br />
<br />
This morning I felt pretty good and looked around at the house ...looking over to where<br />
Robert was sitting and as he struggled trying to keep awake and fighting for his life...I'm<br />
so very thankful and proud of that man I called my husband, my soul mate. I will miss him<br />
forever....God was truly good to me having Robert come into my life.<br />
<br />
I have so many things that I've been blessed with and I have to try and stop wallowing in<br />
self pity.. it's easy to say that but so dang difficult..but I've got to try. I've been making myself<br />
ill over it.<br />
<br />
I've got to start taking one day at a time and making changes in my life to get myself back on<br />
my feet and be thankful for what Robert has giving me and gives to me everyday. He is still<br />
taking care of me..<br />
<br />
Today I also ended a chapter with a some what strange so called friend.. I tried to get along with<br />
and deal with all her major issues..but the last straw happened... Carol had called me and I was<br />
in the beginning of my illness and she made an nice gesture to go to the store and pick me up some<br />
cough drops after her Arts and Craft class on Monday.. I was so grateful and thanked her.<br />
<br />
That was the last I heard from her until today, which she never bothered to call and say she couldn't<br />
make it or just couldn't do it...so she calls today with her crazy blabbing and left a message wanting<br />
me to pray for her as she goes in the hospital tomorrow for a heart cath..<br />
<br />
Now mind you before I was sick when she told me she was going to have that done I told her if she didn't have anyone to take her I would and would stay with her till it was over with and she said<br />
she had someone...ok, now getting back to my story..<br />
<br />
So I called Carol back and she was carrying on about a few things and then I said, "Carol, I wish you<br />
luck tomorrow and I'm very upset with you letting me down" she replies well I didn't think you<br />
were serious about me going for it "... She should have left well enough alone..however, my response<br />
was Good Luck tomorrow and Goodbye..<br />
<br />
I have enough dealing with my life right now then to get caught up in all her wild antics ..I've<br />
gone through several crazy episodes with her..enough is enough.. wish her well but no longer<br />
am I wanting anything dealing with her.. it's an endless issue.. I'll keep her in my prayers but<br />
stay my distance..<br />
<br />
Then my friend Jane has her issues and goes on and on...but she at least comes around and means<br />
well just floats through one thing after another and hasn't figured out she is wrong..She is<br />
good just has some really nasty habits than can crawl your skin... You want to help her but then<br />
you get Nuts yourself...<br />
<br />
Is there a scenario here.. I mean, to I just get caught up on all this wild stuff..dunno...but Jane I<br />
can work with and she will go out of her way for me if I ask..just the life she lives I couldn't <br />
survive it..<br />
<br />
Now I'm gonna head to bed and say my prayers that we all will find some peace in our lives<br />
and illness go away.. go far far away..<br />
<br />
God Bless<br />

My day wasn't bad I actually got out and ran a few<br />
errands and went grocery shopping at my favorite Winn Dixie. I was hungry so you<br />
know I bought a few goods in .<br />
<br />
Came up was upbeat and my new Humming bird feeder came in and a new gadget to<br />
help cheer me up.. Nothing major just one of those bag holders for the Zip Locks .. which<br />
I happen to think it's neat.<br />
<br />
Then got a call from Jane as she had went to her Flea Market deals and she wasn't feeling<br />
to great so she was staying home...while in the mean time I had gotten a chuck roast and<br />
through in the Crock Pot..turns out it was not good.. One of those days where the meat<br />
just has no flavor no matter what you do to it...but sure did smell good while cooking .<br />
<br />
Later that night I got a case of the blues and boy did it hit me..It just sneaks up on you<br />
before you know it and holding back tears is sometimes not a good thing. I got angry at<br />
myself and ticked off about everything that's happened in life up to the last minute.<br />
<br />
Then the Voice came on and I was glad to watch that and was recording American Idol<br />
I figured between those two shows it would cheer me up till I went to turn on the latter one<br />
and my recorder didn't record.. Bummer....taking a nose dive now..<br />
<br />
I've got to be able to shake this off, I mean I miss Robert every day and every minute.. I know<br />
his life would have been a living hell had he lived and lingered.. I want to shout out..but who<br />
do I shout at.. I was angry with God and that's dumb but I had to blame someone.<br />
<br />
I've felt so alone but I'm struggling to climb out of this pity hole I'm digging myself into..I mean<br />
any long rope I can pull myself up with I'll gladly grab. My days are dragging cause I wasn't<br />
feeling well and that's starting to change as I'm getting better but my cough still in a pain.<br />
<br />
I'm looking over at my bed and wondering am I going to be able to go to bed or is it gonna be<br />
a struggle and then get up and go in my big chair..Something has got to give.<br />
<br />
Now I'm gonna turn off my computer and crawl in bed say my prayers and beg for forgiveness<br />
and pray that we all start to see things change for the better..<br />

<br />
My day was a quiet one.. Jane and I decided to cancel our day as I was still having my<br />
hacking sessions.. I needed more rest and less talking.. Hahaha.. Can you imagine me<br />
not talking ??????<br />
<br />
Anyway most of the day I watched all the Biblical Movies, which by the way I love !<br />
Me and Miss Annie just curled up at watched one after the other.. I also looked out my<br />
window and watched my hummers.. Now they are amazing.. Love how they fly in all<br />
directions and zoom faster than the speed of light.<br />
<br />
Towards the end of my day watched American Idol. boy they have some really good<br />
singers. A few I think will go all the way. Now to get passed all that nonsense of all<br />
the cuts where you only see part of what they want you to see.<br />
<br />
Just sat down on my computer and Microsoft was at it again.. Upgrade. Yikes it makes<br />
me nervous. Always after none of my stuff will work right till I figure it out. Like this<br />
program, I'm still trying to figure out how this text gets so goofy<br />
<br />
Time for bed, and by the way last night I put in a full night sleep in my bed and tonight<br />
I'm hoping for the same.. Prayers first !<br />
<br />
Sweet dreams, God BlessBarbZeeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12633604866252966965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259533774977201059.post-73903457314770604572018-03-31T19:06:00.000-07:002018-03-31T19:06:09.140-07:00The Night Before EasterThe Night before Easter and here I sit at my computer.. I had a decent day as my friend<br />
Jane came over for an early dinner..She treated me to Cpt D's which by the way was pretty<br />
darn good.<br />
<br />
We sat and chatted and I know she was feeling down as I've been sick and she was home<br />
alone. Jane too suffers from loneliness. Although John and she fought like cats and dogs<br />
they were definitely a match.<br />
<br />
We had a good day and a good evening watching an old classic.. Abbott and Costello meets<br />
Frankenstein LOL One of my favorites by the way. As time grew close to her leaving I<br />
could sense her getting frightened.<br />
<br />
These are issues that are really big with us women. Men handle it much better I think because<br />
they are just use to being the "Get on with it" and having to always be the main decision maker<br />
through out our century.<br />
<br />
I as strong as I was would always run things by Robert. not that I was incapable of making<br />
decisions, but I felt two heads were better than one on outlooks. So as the years went by<br />
it became the "Norm" for me... Now, I'm in a dither, I hesitate too much. I don't know if that<br />
will change but I'm making the best of it.<br />
<br />
Now tomorrow is Easter and Jane will be coming over and most likely all week which will be<br />
good for both of us.. Some days might be great and others, well we can get into it but we don't<br />
get all bent out of shape.<br />
<br />
My illness is coming along but slowly..My hacking continues and my sleep is not long so during<br />
the day I'm getting naps... I need them all. My stomach is hopefully gonna straighten out as that<br />
frightens me. Trying not to go in panic overdrive and just trying to let things go.<br />
<br />
My prayers are about giving me strength and courage and helping me understand and most of all<br />
forgiveness.. I always ask Why, maybe I have to stop that..but I'm not sure I can. I miss Robert so<br />
very much and I hate the feeling of non existence. I try to keep his memory going again as I look<br />
around it's empty...Sucks !<br />
<br />
Now I'm gonna attempt to get in bed and hope and pray I can get to sleep without having a majoy<br />
hacking attack or other wise it's back to the Chair !<br />
<br />
Sweet dreams and Pray for everyone and pass it forward<br />
<br />

I Skipped Thursday to Head For Friday. My Cold needed my attention...I couldn't type</div>
<div>
as my hands were busy with Kleenex....Yeah it was a 1 box deal of a day. I thought</div>
<div>
if this keeps up I will have to go to Urgent Care and get checked out.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Was my lucky Friday as the place was full and I thought to myself, this is not a good</div>
<div>
thing.... I could come home worse than what I was going in. Plus the fact I actually</div>
<div>
got up from my big chair at 1am and crawled into my bed. A tad bit apprehensive but</div>
<div>
I said a quick prayer and next thing I knew it ..It was 5:30am.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most of my day again was just not doing much... I mean I really couldn't even if I wanted</div>
<div>
too. So me and Annie and Ms Shug hung out took on and off naps and managed to get up</div>
<div>
a few times and make breakfast and lunch. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dinner I really wasn't hungry, so I drank more Lemon and water to make sure I flushed</div>
<div>
my kidneys...anything to get rid of this cold.. I took my Tylenol but not as often..My </div>
<div>
cold was beginning to break a bit and leaving me with a soar throat..If that's all it leaves</div>
<div>
me with... I'll be blessed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tonight I decided to come back to my bed and see if I couldn't get a good night's sleep ..only</div>
<div>
problem is, I'm not tired..more like wired out..So I'm sitting her typing and really can't read</div>
<div>
as my eyes are not good.....Hopefully word correct will work ..oh and I still haven't figured</div>
<div>
how to get my proper alignment. It will have to wait till I can see better.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tomorrow Jane is going to venture over...I told her not to worry as I'm out of the contagious </div>
<div>
state and she'd be ok.. Hopefully I can at least start making her a dinner..I know she's lonely</div>
<div>
at night and her coming over every night for dinner helped her and me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also know that I have some really awesome friends on line some I've never met but are so</div>
<div>
so supportive and that means so much . I also learned to how others feel about living by </div>
<div>
themselves and the fears they encounter.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I do know this, each night and daytime when I say my prayers, they help..I don't mean to say </div>
<div>
that they are answered, that's one you hope. but they may get answered in other ways. Robert</div>
<div>
taught me that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, I'm gonna attempt to crawl in bed turn on the tv and hopefully I'll fall asleep.. I know</div>
<div>
my Annie is happy cause she really enjoys the bed..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I pray for all that read this blog that it brings you some smiles, and lets you know that you too</div>
<div>
are not alone . Sweet dreams and God Bless</div>

I realized last night I could not lay in bed so I got up and went<br />
into the living room and fixed my blanket in my big chair and turned on the TV. Sitting<br />
propped up helped me breath better.<br />
<br />
I had my glass of lemon and water to break the phlegm that kept building up and I blew<br />
my nose like I was Gabriel in the Heavens.. Loud and continuously. I think by the time<br />
I started to fall asleep I could have been called Rudolf. <br />
<br />
Wee morning hours I felt my body finally relax and through out the day I drifted in and<br />
out. I kept hydrated and kept telling myself I'm gonna get though this. I sure was anxious<br />
when daylight came upon me. <br />
<br />
Later in the day my friend Jane went to the store for me to pick up some more cough drops <br />
and even bought some Orange Sherbet....that will surely soothe my sore throat. and towards<br />
the end of this day the heavy coughing is slowing up.<br />
<br />
I will see how my night goes and if I'm still strongly hacking at which point I'll then go to<br />
Urgent Care and most likely get some pred and a Zpak. I'm sure hoping this will subside<br />
as I hate to keep taking antibiotics ..<br />
<br />
Now I'm gonna attempt to lay in bed and try not to stress out, if I need to get up no big<br />
deal. I'll head back in to my big chair and ride another night out.<br />
<br />
On to my prayers !BarbZeeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12633604866252966965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259533774977201059.post-14070569436354619592018-03-27T19:49:00.002-07:002018-03-27T19:49:44.455-07:00Over Coming My Fears !<br />
Over Coming My Fears !... Seems lately as I start to come to reality that I've acquired fears.<br />
Well maybe I've had them all along but just never realized it. I'm not really sure. As I<br />
go through my days and night, which by the way them seem to just all run together. Kind<br />
of boggles me.<br />
<br />
Here I am tonight having come down with a cold (hopefully nothing else) I'm on my second<br />
day of it and I'm keeping it somewhat under control. Night time is always the worst. During<br />
the day I keep hydrated catch a few naps in between the coughing and take my Tylenol ever<br />
4 hours...I'm fine but come night time, something more takes over.<br />
<br />
The realization I'm alone, no Robert to call out too...sucks ! I say my prayers asking God<br />
to forgive me for my ANGER. I can't help myself. Then this strange feeling over takes my<br />
ability to reason things out.<br />
<br />
That fear reaches up and plays with my mind...The "What if"...Who can I call out to ? I grab<br />
on to my Annie as she's laying next to me..then I've got to sit up. My heart is racing and I can't<br />
catch my breath. I feel like it's an Anxiety attack...Why??? Because I'm by myself.<br />
<br />
I then again ask God to help me, help me understand what I'm doing to myself...and it's really<br />
that. Yes, I'm sick but I'm not bad...I mean I have some discomfort but I'm not dying. How<br />
do I stop myself from doing this, or is this still apart of grieving ?<br />
<br />
I can't wait till the night passes and daylight has arrived....but I've got to face this or I'll make<br />
myself a mess. I do find me writing about it helping.. making me aware of what is happening.<br />
Perhaps in my writing I can help someone else cause I'm sure I'm not the only one.<br />
<br />
I looked over at the bed and Miss Annie is all comfy, she even brought one of the toys I<br />
gave her to bed..I know she's missing Rudy...I am too ! I've got the TV on making noise<br />
and I'm hoping I can lay down ...if not I'll head up to the living room sit in my cozy chair<br />
watch TV till I fall asleep.<br />
<br />
Yes ! I'm angry with myself for letting myself fall in to this weakness. I really want to shout<br />
and say, "Get your act together". Maybe I will before the night's over. I will say this my<br />
breathing has slowed down as I was shallow breathing before I started writing. That's a<br />
Good Thing !<br />
<br />
I wish I knew the answers, I wish I was over this cold but I know I've got a few days before<br />
it leaves me (hopefully) and I can start getting my life back. I just miss Robert so much. I '<br />
know I have to let him go, but I can't not just yet.<br />
<br />
Lord help me, I just wish in my dream I could see him happy . The unknown is full of<br />
pain, it's awful. Come on sleep grab me.<br />
<br />

Yesterday !I was A.W.O.L. Yesterday ! I had to bring my RV to the repair shop and when I got<br />
home I was sniffling and coughing.. Thought, must have allergies acting up.. So I took<br />
some meds and attempted to relax even though inside I was frustrated again. Turns out<br />
I've gotten a cold...Hopefully I'll get through this quickly and keep on top of it.<br />
<br />
This seems to be just how my life is going lately..No matter what, nothing seems to<br />
get done right . The more you attempt to get things straightened out the worst it gets.<br />
Guess you have to go with the flow and hope for the best.<br />
<br />
The reason I'm saying that is because the Repair guy claims they never fixed this particular<br />
slide when I know the last time I brought it in, both slides were grinding...Do you sometimes<br />
wonder if it's you ????<br />
<br />
So home I came and proceeded to get more frustrated when I looked at my taxes that my<br />
accountant had prepared. Does the IRS have any shame? Oh then I also have for 2018<br />
Vouchers to send in Quarterly. Guess so the IRS is going to make sure they get their money.<br />
<br />
As I think back how my Robert was saying, "Retirement will be somewhat easy for us". He<br />
meant well God Rest His Soul......but it's proving to be some what of a P I A ....I'm being kind!<br />
<br />
Today, March 27th, my sister Alice passed. It truly was a blessing for her because she was<br />
extremely ill and living out her remainder life at the mercy of a nursing home. Something I'm<br />
praying I never have to be placed in.<br />
<br />
Now for the day, I intend to not do much as I'm gonna just keep hydrated and take my Tylenol<br />
and snuggle up on the couch..Watch some old classic movies I've recorded . What else do you<br />
do with a Cold... Yup, got my vicks handy too !<br />
<br />
God Bless<br />

Holy Hannah A Double Dare Whammy ....I done got and all in one day. I'm pinching</div>
<div>
myself to see if I'm still alive. I know I gasped for air a few times...but I'm still kicking.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Started my day off decent... went to Walmart which by the way, I'm not a fan of but </div>
<div>
for what I buy there I do get a good deal. Never buy meats as they deal with foreign </div>
<div>
goods so I do my shopping at either Winn Dixie or Publix....depending on who has</div>
<div>
the better sale. However, I prefer my meats from Winn Dixie.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Stopped at Arby's for my treat...now they do make the best Friend Onion Rings..and</div>
<div>
I enjoyed my lunch all went well as I arrived home. Unloaded the car and the rest was</div>
<div>
history till someone came knocking on my door as asked if I didn't mind could they</div>
<div>
see my Motorhome...They are contemplating buying one...mmmm so I got my keys out</div>
<div>
and had to start the rig as it's been sitting then turned the generator on and preceded to</div>
<div>
bring out the slides.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That's when my nightmare began..the dang slide that was repaired as the gears were stripped</div>
<div>
(brand new mind you) started grinding away and shifting... Holy Crap!! I got sick to my </div>
<div>
stomach...I couldn't wait for the people to leave they were gracious but I could see their</div>
<div>
look of...What was that ????</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I came into the house and started to cry..no chitski. I now have to call the RV place that did</div>
<div>
the work and bring it back down AGAIN. I just am sick of the whole flippin thng. Brand new</div>
<div>
only use 4 times and benn in the shop more than on the road.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I'm prepared for my mess and then comes the next ordeal..Went to get my mail and low</div>
<div>
and behold the IRS is gonna drain me..What happened to draining the SWAMP.. I got a </div>
<div>
whopper of an amount.. I had to take a third look and then the next page I have to start </div>
<div>
paying for 2018 so much every few months..WHAT ????</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now I'll call my accountant on this crap too...Monday is gonna be one busy asp day for me</div>
<div>
I might even turn BLUE...Lately it's never ending. Here I thought my day was going well </div>
<div>
I got out of Walmart without a headache.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Better get a new ink pen cause I'm gonna be doing a lot of writing and it ain't Love Letters</div>
<div>
In The Sand.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So that's my dilemma and I'm not a winner that's for sure. Perhaps tomorrow I might get lucky</div>
<div>
and wake up from this bad friggin dream</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Speaking of which I need to go to bed ..Sweet Dreams and God Bless </div>

Talk about wakeup....I just had one of those moments. I've been rather proud of myself<br />
keeping up my bookkeeping paying my bills on line. Every 20th of the month I sit down<br />
and log in to my account and start putting in those figures.<br />
<br />
Like my Robert had taught me (him the finance man ) always keep a log record and data<br />
confirmation numbers and check off as you go along.. So that's what I do. Sometimes<br />
it's a pain in the Kester, but its a way of double checking pay outs. <br />
<br />
Well tonight I sat down and started re checking and I got nervous.. I looked at the payee list and <br />
I thought I forgot to pay things and panic hit in.. How could I have goofed. So I called the <br />
customer service number apologizing and the young girl said, "Calm down lets see and don't<br />
worry just complete the bank transaction and I'll make note so you won't be charged a late fee"<br />
<br />
That calmed me down a bit but I was sure gonna get off the phone and make a complete check of<br />
everything...then all of a sudden the young girl comes back on the phone as says, "Ma'am, your<br />
account is all up to date, are you looking at your April bill by mistake.."? Sure enough that's<br />
what I done did !!!! <br />
<br />
I thanked her got off the phone and just shook my head...I had one of those "Lost my thoughts"<br />
Now what am I going through>>>>>>>> geeezzzzz... what's next ?...So I looked at my record<br />
book which I do manually and sure enough I was on the April page....DUH !!!<br />
<br />
Today was not such a great day...Lost of emotions shot through me and although I tried to not let<br />
it get to me it did...Something I have to keep working on..I tried to do something decent for some<br />
one and they turned it around and kind of slapped me in the face with their rebuttal . What can<br />
you do but pick up your big girl panties and let Karma play itself out.<br />
<br />
Now I'm ready to lay down and hold on to my Miss Annie... I hear Sapphire (my dishwasher) going<br />
to town making that nice humming sound which will hopefully put me to sleep..Say my prayers<br />
and thank the Almighty God for me making it thought this day..<br />
<br />
Sweet Dreams, God BlessBarbZeeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12633604866252966965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259533774977201059.post-78960969270346858132018-03-24T09:00:00.000-07:002018-03-24T09:00:08.027-07:00It's Been To Too LongIt's Been To Too Long and a lot has happen in my life....I'm not even sure where to begin.,<br />
<br />
I'll start off with the loss of my best friend and soul mate, My husband Robert.<br />
He battled Squamous Cell Carcinoma during the year 2015 through part of 2016 and on July 12th<br />
2016 at 11:00am he passed in my arms.<br />
<br />
I can't even begin to even explain the horrendous ordeal he and I went through. The mistakes,<br />
the nightmares and the Ego of one of the top Doctors at the University Of Penn in Philadelphia, Pa..<br />
All that I can tell you, it was the worst experience of my life.<br />
<br />
Now here I sit, almost 2 years later and I still feel like it was yesterday. When does it stop hurting?<br />
When do I ever stop missing him ? These are just simple questions that it seems no one can really<br />
answer.<br />
<br />
Do I question God, for having my Robert go through such suffering, a decent man who loved the<br />
Lord more than anything in this world . Am I bitter ? You bet ! Because there is such scum that<br />
walks the earth and does horrible acts of violence and nothing happens to them other than maybe they<br />
get caught and thrown in jail and "We" take care of them and treat them humanly.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to keep my faith strong. I pray every night asking for guidance and maybe I really don't mean it. I'm not even sure myself. I have to make a life for myself and my fears are intense. Frightened of just about everything.<br />
<br />
From being a strong woman to becoming a mess. I'm almost 75 and trying to regain myself. Worried about the "what if". Fear of unknown. Then I ask, "Is this what God has intended for me ?"<br />
<br />
So here I am after many years (have no clue where they went) sitting down and writing on my Blog.<br />
Not even sure how to go about things.Hoping maybe my first attempt will work.<br />
<br />
I remember I use to every night come sit at my computer before going to bed and write about my day and some were funny and some were, "Are you kidding me". but it always helped me. Maybe that's what I should start doing. I'll give it a try. I can't go back, too much pain but I can go forward<br />
perhaps that will help me.<br />
<br />
Now how to even get all this to come out ok and even put in a few pictures every now and then.<br />
<br />
Tally Ho ! Onward<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So my night sleep was not great..again I had it on my mind as I can never comprehend how they can screw up ..but they did and still do....so at 8am I was no the phone and had to wait and wait..till finally by 9am I got a voice !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I again with through the nonsense of explaining my "new insurance info"...and as I asked .."how does this continue to happen" I got the response which to me doesn't make sense..."it's because the orders from the Doctor come in with the insurance on it..."..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now after the woman made the correction I had to leave to go to the Doctors for an Echo test..and there I asked regarding that.. and of course there response was, "that's not true"...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Oh! Again going in for the test I had to fill out the same forms I did last week..asking if I was near anyone or been to West Africa ???? Oh! also if I will be responsible to pay my bill...hahaha..Each time you go you have to fill this paper work out which is crazy....guess I just am too old to understand this type of reasoning...maybe I'm just not politically correct hahaha</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Had my Echo test done and now I'm home till my next Doc appointment..other than we have that family get together in August and then in September I have Mammo, and Bone Density Test plus of course Pap Test..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Goodness time if flying..then I go back to my Cardio Doc and Internist then it's head to Florida if all is well..and I pray that will be...then I have all that Dentist Crap YUCKO!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Oh, the pool removal is in the works..we'll see how that takes place..</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Today was starting off great as Robert and I planned to go to breakfast in the morning to our favorite Greek Dinner but when he woke up he was feeling queezy...so best not attempt it..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Most of the day was really a nothing kind of day...did a little looking up "Thanks Google" and also got in touch with another excavator to see if he could give us an estimate before we sign on the dotted line..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Kind of like this...anything less than 12K would be wonderful ...cause we only have 14 days and counting to get this all done..or other wise we pay a fine that adds up daily until it is completed..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Working on my 4th Afghan and it's just about finished have about 15 rows and then it's weave in the ends.. I have several I have to weave in too.. like 3 other Afghans..plus I need to weave in ends for the dish rags I made to bring with me to the family get together which isn't that far off...a little nervous...but also anxious.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Tomorrow I have to go to the Cardio Doc for that Echo test and then I also have to call Quest labs as it seems they keep billing my old insurance company.. I honestly don't know why.. I mean I've done this thing before..trying to get the info straightened out....like back in Jan..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I don't know how people hold their jobs..they are so incompetent. It's a wonder all the records are ever correct..scarey !!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So that's about it for now.. I'm brain fried and still trying to get this new computer squared away...soon ...soon..</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This morning was a fun day...we had to head back up to where the motor home is being repaired and serviced at in Hatfield, Pa.. Why? did you ask hahaha... well Robert forgot to take the bag of dog food out of her...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">See, I know longer bug hubby as he claims..(you know how hubby's can be) so I didn't say a word other than....as I check my list off..."Did you get everything out of the rig"...and of course hubby says, "What do you think ">? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now for me that can be a leading question and I really try to stay away from all that can and will bite me later on..so I didn't bother to respond.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hence we headed up this morning to pick up said bag of dog food, nice trip :)Weather was great too and we took Miss Annie for the ride and she loved it..now that was fantastic..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Ok, getting back to my saga...from the trip home... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We got in and unloaded the rig..and I made my Doctor appointments and my numbers were fantastic..now that was a plus.. also the insurance company for the man that backed into me had called and he was very easy to work with..thank goodness...and life seems to be getting back on track..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now coming home from the Doc's office I get a call from hubby telling me I received a registered letter and he picked it up at the post office..and it was a summons..???????? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Panic I was...For what ???? Who would summons me..What did I do..where did I go ????? over the accident ? When it wasn't my fault >>>>> Oh please tell me what in the world is this happening..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So hubby said calmly, "It's over the pool, we have 14 days to empty is or pay a fine of 1K per day till we comply " ....OMG! then he said, "there was a complaint registered with the township "... I had this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach...who would and why???</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Well when hubby got home he then says to me, "it's our neighbor, as something was said regarding our pool being closed 2 years in a row"... now this causes me to turn beet red and speak in my native language.. "Italian.." and if you know me..when I start speaking in an other language it's because I can't think right and only start perking and wanting to choke the S. O. B. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I mean I live not far from this jerk and if he has a problem he could knock on my door.. I'm not a monster..although right now I'd like to rip his tonsils out !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So the next day I go down to the township building and talk to the Township Manager and explain.. I'm 72 and not in good health and I can't use my pool by myself and my hubby is working long hours and exhausted and no longer can keep up the pool so we kept it closed and with chemical in it..(shock) but because this is going to be an on going issue I've decided to remove the pool..and I have an excavating company that is going to come in and do the job..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now this is going to cost us 12K for everything..removal and fill.. something I wasn't planning on doing at this point in time.. and really not happy but I have no choice as this again like I said will be from time to time a major issue..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I felt like my insides were ripped out.. the township manager was really great in fact he as a kid use to come down on the corner of my house and catch the school bus and also with the group of kids have swam in my pool.. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">He felt terrible about the whole thing and I explained I wasn't blaming him ..the law is the law...however, my neighbor will have his share of aggravation as I'm a firm believer in Karma..he will get his !!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So that was the next bolt of lightening to hit but I'm sure like always things for me happen in 3's...I don't want to think "what's next" cause you know from following my blog...that can be dangerous..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Back to Saturday...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It was really a good day after all.. I ofcourse chuckled... I just couldn't resist..so that's it for now.. and I'm tired and still have to figure my new computer out.. I like it but again.. need to learn the ins and outs...but one good thing.. I'm posting and attempting to catch you all up on my madness..LOL</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Started off..everything was ok..so I thought...got to Brunswick, Ga just fine and Robert didn't come up till the next day when I was in Latta, South Carolina...but on the way there I had a few little experiences..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">First off ...left Brunswick, Ga just fine and had a good night sleep just me and Miss Annie and Ms Shug.. I managed well ...I mean walking wasn't the greatest but it wasn't the worst..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Then stopped in Welcome center in South Carolina as Miss Annie had to potty and so did I....took her out and made sure she behaved going down the steps..as I have to go down them backwards and using my cane for balance when walking Annie..she is really being good...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Go to come back to get in the rig and can't get the door open..????? What's with that ? and then it came to me...as I was going down the steps I hit the bottom button and it locked down the coach...HOLY CRAP... I have no keys with me..nor a cell phone...Give me a break !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I didn't panic...but I looked around to see who I could get to help me..No one was near me..and all the truckers must have been sleeping...for their stop over..down time....and then I saw some woman and I called her to please help me if she could just call someone ..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">She got the custodian and he came over then called a Lock Smith as he said, "the police no longer do that"...so waited for the Lock Smith..he came and opened the door..for 125 buckeroos..CASH ONLY... and I hadn't a clue how much I had as I don't normally travel with money just credit cards...and by George I had 135 exactly...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">First time I ever used a locksmith and by the way... my insurance covers it cept I didn't get a receipt as he was going to the hospital his father was just taken in an ambulance...was it for real ???? who knows..but one thing I got in and that's all that mattered..it was like 100 heat index..Me and Miss Annie wouldn't have survived..she was such a good girl too.!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Pulled out of there and got to Latta, South Carolina ...Flying J...and it was packed everyone lined up to get gas...and I got in line behind this guy with a pull trailer.. so I sit and wait.. a little upset I paid out because I didn't carry my keys...not beating myself up..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Next thing I look up and see this guy in the trailer starting to back up.. HUH???? and Yep! I blow the horn cause I can't back up.. cars and rigs behind me..and the guy keeps coming...HELLO ..do you hear my horn ..???? BEEEEEEEP and then CRUNCH...yes indeedy.. he bumps into me.. his bicycle rack goes right into Mabeline's hood... I could feel the pain LOL..but oh my stars !!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2 things in one day and the day isn't over...I get out and the guy fills up his tank pulls over to the side and comes over and says, "Did I hit you " ????? HUH???? is this a dream ??? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So I have my phone with me and take pictures and he does too..then takes my info and I take his... and away he goes... I pull up and get gas as Robert is still in Wildwood, Florida and won't be up till some time tonight...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I pull over to a parking spot and get comfy ..walk Annie ..talk to Ms Shug and then just lean back and shake my head... talk with Robert..no sense in getting upset ..no one was hurt just my pride..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Robert finally gets up around 9 pm and we get something to eat and then go to bed and in the morning we will hook up the car and head up to Carmel Church, Virginia...can't wait. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Next morning up we get and gonna top off with gas and head out.. I go to make a turn so Robert can hook up the car and go to put my foot on the brake and I have no brakes...OH NO !!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Tell Robert and he looks at me ...You got it !! No BRAKES !! So I call Foremost Insurance...they are sending a tow truck...and we wait and wait and it's hotter than hot.....finally some lady pulls up along side of me and asks .."Am I broke down" ?... I said, "YES" ! and she proceeds to tell me she's with the garage and my Insurance is arguing with the owner ?????? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So I call my Insurance company and get the low down... I get it squared away and reason was..the garage owner wouldn't tow cause he could do the work .... ok, lets get this show on the road...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sends two men over and they work on the rig.. brake line broke and they didn't have a part so they made one...HUH... works for me...but by the time they finished it was late in the day and my generator quit ..it got over heated and vacuum locked...so had to wait that out till it cooled then we pulled back over to the same spot and parked for the night... filled the rig up again with fuel and in the morning out we went..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Made it up to Carmel Church, Flying J in Virginia...hello there..and stayed over night...left early in the morning to head to Rising Sun, Md to my girlfriends place then spent a few hours with her ..headed out and home we came..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I really cut all the drama out as I'm tired and too much and could I remember all the details..HECK NO... I'm just glad we all got home safely ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I will continue with my story tomorrow as again I'm tired and it's past my bed time hooking up a new computer so I could write...LOL </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So as it is..Those traveling Stay Safe and as always God Bless Us All..</span><br />
