Spending the Night, Fever, Princess and Throne, Thanksgiving, Hummingbirds, Socks and Top Sheets

 My daughter, Amber, had 

to work an hour away on 

Monday and Tuesday.

Her company put her up in 

a hotel Monday night so 

she did not need to make

that trip home and back

on Tuesday morning.

DJ stayed with a friend whose

mom got him and her son to 

school on Tuesday but Braden,

and Emmy Lou (B's dog)

stayed with me.

This is a pic of B with Felicity

cause I did not take any

Monday night.

Him and Emmy were perfect.

I was running a fever and not 

feeling up to par.....hell, I am 

not sure what up to par even

feels like! But I got him

dinner at Subway, got some 

drinks (I only keep water here),

and snacks. I set one of the 

tvs up in the guest room, he 

played games and watched 

tv back there, I hardly knew he

was here. He was so good.

He is such a sweetie. He thanks

me for everything I do. 

His dinner, his drinks, 

his snacks, taking the dog 

out...etc.

Yep, mentioned I was running 

a fever. All through this time of 

UTIs I have not run a fever, but

I did all day Sunday, Monday and 

on Tue. I contacted the docs office.

Rather than drive to Nashville, I 

went, upon their request, to Kroger

for a urine culture. The dip test

there showed white blood cells and

full of blood. Talking to the doc,

we figured it was not a UTI

but just an infection from 

the removal of the stent.

Hey, I have no clue how an 

infection in the bladder is not 

a UTI but whatever.

Still can't hold my bladder

either and the pain was getting

worse. 

Culture back Friday, less than 10,000

cells which makes it not a UTI (????). 

but still a lot of cells there.

On meds for infection and 

still on meds for bladder spasms,

which is suppose to be the reason 

why I can't hold my bladder.

I will address this with the Vandy

Doc come Monday. 

My fear, all the UTIs has affected

my bladder. 

Yes, I am pissed. Surgery was suppose

to take care of all this

crap (in my mind anyway).

Then my daughter told me yesterday

that I am not helping myself get well

cause I am depressed. I am depressed

cause I am tired of 

this CRAP!

Okay....I know you are prob as

tired of all this as I am.

Update on ants....

BLESS THE PEST CONTROL

GUY.

Two nights in a row I have

had to go out and physically 

pick Lily up off her 

throne and bring her in 

for the night.

She has taken over the 

the daybed as hers.

But oh my gosh, look

how beautiful of a princess 

she makes laying up there!

Okay, which one would have 

to go from your 

Thanksgiving table?

For me, cornbread. That is not

something that we have ever had

for Thanksgiving dinner.

If it was not on the list, I would

have to say

turkey!

WHAT? haha..

I don't eat it, I have ham.

Now my grands would say,

cranberry sauce.

DJ told me last year that 

cranberry sauce was an old

person dish.
BRAT!

Since I have had the sort

of summer I have had, 

I have to say, I have enjoyed

the hummingbirds at the feeder.

I can see them from the couch.

But thank goodness I have not

looked out and saw this.

Here in the country, I am surprised!

Now that I have broken

up the conversation with other 

stuff, let's move back to 

B staying the night. 

Two things I noticed with

B staying with me.

~ I did his laundry yesterday, his socks

matched! That seems to

be a thing, kids

today do not usually match

their socks.

Do you wear socks in

the summer? I used to never

wear them in the summer,

but my feet get cold easy

these days, so I wear

fuzzy ones around the house

sometimes. But in the winter

when I wear them...

mine match. Do you wear

matching or mismatched

socks?

Next,

when I tucked (yes, he

might be 13 but I still tucked him

in, and he let me) him in

bed, he did not pull

back the flat sheet to crawl

under, he pulled it

up to lay on it. Yep, lack of

flat sheets is a real thing! lol.

This is what I found on the net.

Using a top sheet is more hygienic

 than going without it since it keeps

 the comforter clean for longer 

and reduces

 the need to wash it every 

time you wash the sheets.

The con, it gets twisted around

you. 

Well, I am of the day, that you

use it. 

I use mine, I will always 

use my top sheet!

Strange things as the 

generations change. 

So, you know that

question is coming,

top sheet or not?

I find that I am not

surprised by much these

days,

Pam
