guess i was a little too exhuberant !!!!!!!!!!!!!
How the heck are you on this chilli day???? golly, snow out west already !! So early for it !!!!gonna be a long, long winter, but, I guess i'm gonna be warm being confined to home most of it, am now going to have my ankle fixed on October 30, at the University of Chicago, will only be in the hospital over night on Friday night, but, oh, a long, slow recovery with NO weight bearing for 6 full weeks, left foot elevated and in bed for most of that, only up to the bathroom and to the m.d. so, lots of company will be welcomed and lots of treats toooooooo....
my friend, Susan, is making me a list of "quircky" movies, like she and i enjoy, i'll have my laptop in bed with me so i can keep in touch with you, continue to blog, though i don't know about what...and pillows, a stack of clean jammies so stan won't have to dig and find them, my electric mattress cover on so i'm snuggly and warm, and when you come, you can bring cocktails.
after 6 weeks, "if" all goes well, then i can toe touch for the next 6 weeks, and then...we will see, then the physical therapy begins, but by April, I should be dancing my way around town and wearing cool shoes again !!! it's been a long time since I've had a pair of cool shoes, so i'm looking forward to it big time !!!
So, thats my news !!!! also, i got the papers to fill out for social security disability, so that's moving ahead, i hope, but do i want to go this way? i think i still want to work, but not any longer with sick people, cuz i'm sick of them!!!! sick of sicko's in work, life, love, and on t.v. too....
so, i did a hex on all of them, BE GONE SICKO'S !!!!!!!! only healthy people approach !!!!!! this woman !!!!
now, if that works for me, it also might work for you ! so, Winston has become a lap dog in recent days, he has discovered he likes it on my lap at 1 1/2 years old, he barks at me if i'm doing something and won't let him up, but, he's cuddly and furry and warm !!!!
and, he smells good tooooooo!!!!!!
I made delicious chocolate chip cookies yesterday and today, scrumptious stew, and froze two containers for my laid up time,will start fixing food to freeze so when i'm down we can eat !
Still have plans for a move in March or April, first i'm sure i'll be able to get around well, and Stan seems fine with that, we can't argue if i'm down and not doing well, i won't be in any frame of mind to disagree with him, so that will work. his ex is home from her psyche stay, and lauren is home with her, so things are back to normal, who knows what she's doing, but 90% rate of failure in opiate addiction, so i don't think thats good, but you know what, it's not my problem !!!!!! I don't care !!!!! and that's healthy for me !!!!!
Well, not a thing is going on in my life, no one is in love with me, and ya know, I think i like it this way.. i figure, i've been loved, well, they said it anyway and at times they showed it, like 4 times for certain, doubt if it was true, but i'm none worse for the wear from it, and i sort of like it just like this.. no man to fret, worry about, just me and winston and family , oh, any you guys....
but, it's okay....i "think" i just want a few sleep overs, but they must leave in the a.m., and before they stay the night, must present a certificate of health, as in no STD's....i don't want to do laundry, don't want to cook for a man any more, i've done it and it didn't matter, so, for the next 40 years or so, i'm off duty... i am going to enjoy my life like some of you already do, and the others, may want to join me, cuz it's just not worth the energy... men don't understand or think like us, and i just don't care any more...
with that note, i'm going to close for the night, on a positive note, at least i feel positive, do you?????? My friend, in Fl, she won't let me use her name, is not talking to me, i have not a clue why, she doesn't IM me anylonger, and got sort of upset when i sent her a home health note today, so, I guess we're taking a break too, and that's okay with me, it's just fine...cuz life is just to short to worry about it.
so, have a good week, and keep me posted in email if you need anything, i'm right here in Mokena...

Hello Friends !
It is certain, fall is upon us, it's kind of cold outside tonight and rainy, lightning and thundering,
it's been a dreary day, but winston is happy no matter what the weather, and he got a porterhouse bone tonight to chew on, made his day complete.
I had surgery on my left outer leg Wednesday to remove the melanoma area, doc says she got all the margins, sutured it right up, but told me to sort of stay off of it so it doesn't split open, if it does, it will take skin grafting andyou all know how beautiful my legs are, so i don't want another scar !
We hope Saturday is kind of nice, there is going to be over 100 fancy, fancy cars in Mokena for the Concourse d Elegance, and the food /wine festival, big flea market too, lots of people will be here.
So, have you seen Oprah ???? wearing that ugly orange dress in copenhagen, golly she is HUGE now !!!! bet she's been eating lots of carbohydrates, where did her health cooks go? did she fire them??? and what does she possibly have to do with the olympics???? actually, I feel Chicago needs to totally clean up their act, stop the daily violence, they don't need olympics, they need the army ! speaking of, did you see the article i wrote for the Ottawa/Streator paper and it was published, about the continuous reporting of bad things about Streator, I'm just sick of it...aren't you??
well, they arrested a 30 year old man for the multiple murder in beeson, il, he was married to one of the daughters, how sad and how sick he is !!!! to murder 5 people, by beating them to death, people are just sick these days,
Tomorrow Michael Moores newest movie starts, my friend, Darrelle and I will go see it sometime this week end, will prove interesting, i for one, enjoy Michael Moore, I know he's a movie maker, but he speaks the truth too.
i was in a dollar general yesterday, they now have Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas items/ decorations for sale, all at once....i think there should just be "holiday" stores, that carry items year around, all available all the time !!!!
ya know, on days i don't leave the house, nothing interesting happens for me to write about, when i stay home, the only person i see is crabby stan and happy winston, not much variety there, is there? do you have variety in your life??? i hope so, somedays I talk to Justine, and those are good days, she always makes me smile and once in a while Ryan is even yapping, he's so cute when he talks, always something new.
tomorrow i'm going to make some oatmeal cookies or chocolate chip, i don't know, but if you come see me, we'll have milk and cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner....isn't that enticing???
I haven't mentioned Jim any more, he's gone, out of the picture, was thrilled to see me, for about 2 weeks, that didn't last long, he's a sick man, mentally, physically, basically just a man, but, I did feel good about meeting him after all these years, maybe in the next life, oh well, his loss.. I have so much to give, offer, do for the right man, but where is he? i do not want to live with another man, ever, but would like one just to hang out with now and then, have sex with now and then...but, no more overnighters with any man again, it's just not worth it, an make up is a pain in the butt to wear every day..
well, another thurday gone, the week end looms, and time for bed, i'm tired and didn't accomplish a thing today, how was your day?
Goodnight, sweet dreams !!!

windy day? do you feel it tooo???
Happy Monday night !!!!!!
where did today go? Seems like i just got up, and it's almost time for bed !!! made "hamburger Stroganoff" tonight, and it was "good", first time i used ground beef instead of sirloin steak for it, and it was yummy, accompanied by Nooldes Romanoff, mmmmm noodles with butter and garlic, parmesan cheese mixed in blended with wide egg noodles, a real treat, and today i felt like making a Coconut Meringue Pie too, and the meringue was high and fluffy and goooood.
Today the dermatologist called, i faxed her a note early a.m., but it was her first day back from vacation, and i thought it would be a few days till i heard from her, but she was a nurse before she is a doctor, so she's great, common and ordinary and really pretty too.. she said, "you need to have this surgery as soon as possible and wednesday is open at 11 a.m., to have a "MOHS procdure" and a female, a Dr. Pepitone is going to do it, gail doesn't have any opening and she doesn't do the MOHS, its going to take up to 5 hours, because they are going to cut the spot thinly, stain it, take it to pathology and check for the margins, will continue until they see no cancerous lesions and have clean margins, so it will be a neat, slow process, said to bring a book, and they have a t.v. and dvd player, so i have a couple of movies i'm taking too. Sutures must be in for 2 full weeks, for some reason, so tomorrow i will call Tanya at Dr. Toolens and schedule the ankle surgery i guess by Oct 30, and will plan to be up and around and out dancing by April, thats the plan, giving me plenty of time to recuperate fully and get new spring shoes !!!!!
We haven't heard a word from Amanda, know she checked herself into the pyschiatric ward at Palos Hospital, no news is good news, but I think Lauren is wondering and just won't ask anything at all. I know this is hard on her, and she is being brave, but seems sad at the same time. the picture on top is her and winston last year when we brought him home, lauren is 12 now, but still looks the same, only taller.
Not much else to write about tonight, it was overall a non eventful day, things are quiet around here, haven't even argued with stan for quite a few days, he's overwhelmed and i'm being quiet, i know you shocked, but it's the truth by golly !!! when i cook, i'm happy and keep to myself !!!
well, i need to write a letter, and play on facebook for a bit, lots of friends have contacted me and i'm happy about that !! i love people, i love life !!!!!!!

Where did 3 days go?????
well, it went, didn't it !!!!! and goodness, time does fly right past and I seem to waste so much of it, i'm not being productive right now at all, seem to be in limbo or at some type of standstill, just spending time waiting, and i'm not sure what i'm waiting for. my ankle, my melanoma surgery, Amanda (stan's ex) to get her shit together and clean her act up, Stan to chill and be nice again, i know he has pressure, with ginger dying slowly, lauren being totally neglected by her mother, and his deciding he doesn't like me(women) any longer, the outcome of the FBI investigation of that shitty place i worked for a year, Maxim, who has defrauded the state, federal and veterans out of loads of money, the entire company, all 500 offices, whether i can work as a nurse any longer, or if i resort to what every woman has to offer for money....$$$$$ need i be clearer about that? but, i'm old now, and would only get money for housecleaning or something ! a service, that is..
Wow ! a tornado warning is crossing the screen, kind of weird, isn't that? oh, well !
Today, my friend, Darrelle and I went to the Forrest Park art fair and had lunch at Francesca's, and had a nice, relaxing day, she has become a good friend and is easy to talk to, she's heading to Paris in two weeks with her sisters, yeah for her ! Wish i were going tooo, but, maybe in the next 5 years or so !!!!
So, news regarding my tooth, still have one more nerve to remove, the regular dentist has tried 4 times, after many, many Novocaine shots he referred me to an endodontist and they want a $300.00 deposit before i see him, which i don't have, my insurance "will" pay but they don't care, so for now i'm stuck with a perpetual toothache or getting my top molar pulled, which neither nor my dentist wants to happen, so what to do??? i just don't have the money, unemployment is just enough to pay my share of the house bills, nothing extra, and this tooth is just killing me...but, can't have a benefit for a tooth, or can I ?
Went to Christophers school Friday a.m. for grandparent day, had a continental breakfast and went to class with chris for a bit, he had questions he needed to ask his gramma and we drew pictures of ourselves, and it was fun, he is so good in school and he was happy to have his gramma there with him, and gramma was glad too. then it was lunch with my friend Virginia, we call her vagina, for short, and she is always fun to see, chippers so i ran into many old friends, even frannie Cherveney, which i just got a video from paul studnicki on thursday with kids in 1965 ice skating at marilla park, and frannie was in it, so i emailed it to her and made her day complete !
so, what are you looking forward to for this week? the weather is taking a certain turn cooler, just in time for autumn, remember when we actually wore fall clothes, wool skirts and sweaters? they were really pretty in all those rust, brown, blue and green colors, wish they would come back in style again, don't you??? The leaves will start to fall soon, leaf burning smells will be in the air, there will be fireplaces lit in the evening, all nice things, and....pumpkin pies, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin muffins and cake...mmmmmm can you tell pumpkin is my favorite of all, and we only think of it in the fall, don't we?
Fall shows have started, Curb your Enthusiasm is back on HBO, which i just love, and brothers and sisters on abc, also another one i like, it's a soap opera, but still i like it, don't you? what are your favorites to watch? and soon it will be time to start Christmas shopping, again, no $$$$, as usual, but, i am tole painting again, and gonna do the sleds kathy meredith gave me to do some years ago, finally will do them, have ideas and washed them in murphy's oil soap and will begin tomorrow to make them gorgeous for winter display!!!! they were kathy's and her sisters sleds in childhood, so, it will be great fun and she will appreciate them finally !!!
well, it's almost time for bed, another night of dreaming of having great sex with someone, but i can't ever see who he is, but he's tall and muscular and hot for me....that's what counts, i don't care who he is but i like him !!!! he doesn't stay to have coffee in the a.m., and i don't have to wash his clothes, my idea of the perfect lover !
so, Goodnight for Sunday night, i'll talk to you all sooon !!!
Winston's mom !!!!! he's still here and just loves me to death, and i love him tooo.

golly, it's another week that's almost gone
Hello all !!!
"another" strain of flu is approaching, just tonight, channel 11 reports still there is yet another flu approaching us, and I'm wondering why this is happening, too much travel, and, dr gerber from the public health dept says "all flu vaccine is given free to "all" flu clinics and was "meant" to be administered for free, but individual companies, clinics, may charge an "administrative" fee to give it, figure that one !!!!!
so, my tooth, still my tooth, i had 2 root canals and the doc just can't deaden the third nerve of the trunk after weeks of shots, lots of shots...so, it's to an endodontist i'm being sent !!!
more news ! my dreaded melanoma has returned, this time on my outer left leg, had a biopsy and it was positive, so now further sugery to remove the spot, the margins, and also check the lymph nodes nearest, which are my left groin, so...ankle surgery must be delayed, until this is completed and i've healed, suppose to see the ortho m.d.on the 28th, melanoma surgery is scheduled for Oct 26, unless my regular derm can work me in sooner, won't know that till she gets back from vacation also on the 28th, so, it's "all" up in the air tonight !!!!!
just call me, Ms Adaptable !!! i'll go with the flow on this one, i think !!
Made chop suey for supper tonight, and Lauen wanted to know why it's called that, and i must confess, i've been making it for years, and i don't have a clue why its called that...what is suey???? According to Wikipedia, my favorite this is what they say: " mixed" pieces of any type of meat, bound in a starch thickend gravy, popular in American, Canadian and Indian cuisine, as in India...not the american indian...
and, we really enjoyed it, Lauren had never had it before,I think her mother isn't big on cooking from scratch, just in pre cooked and take out foods, so she enjoys it when she's here, though she is 12 and is reluctant to admit it...
Are you enjoying the fall season on T.V.? it's started and mostly the same old stuff, lots of dr. shows, cop shows, but letterman has had 2 presidents on this week, andboth have been very good, and i've sure taken to the Bonnie Hunt show, in fact, joined her website and record her show andwatch itquicker each day...she's a former oncology nurse, from chicago, and really down to earth, i think...
have you missed me this week? i've missed you, but some days just aren't interesting enough to write....now, for money, i'll entertain, but, gosh mostly my life is boring, boring, boring, and i'm pretty broke, but now, tomorrow, Friday, i'm going to Wallace school for grandparent day and breakfast with Christopher and then to his class room for a while, then i'm meeting my friend, Virginia for lunch, which will be just great !!!! then, the week end looms, and I have not a plan in site,not yet anyway, would like to see a movie or two, but who knows??????
for tonight, though, its time to say good night, and God Speed to all !!!!! My friend, Lynn, has decided to limit her computer time, feels it's taken over her life, as for me, i do keep it in balance, don't spend as much time as i use to on it, and so i enjoy it....oh, and my friend, Sherry, not me, another Sherry that you don't
know, lives in Indiana, sent me a copy of her book, she wrote it, "Angel With Redbird Wings" and it is wonderful and i thank her very much for writing and sharing it with me....She is also a nurse, and a very loving, outgoing woman, very strong in her convictions, which all of my friends are, i'm proud of that !!!
So, good night for now, will write again in 2 days, count em !!!!
