Monday Once More!!


Yeap it is Monday once again!! Mondays get a bad break I think!! But now that i am not "working" outside the home (working inside the home) they don't bother me at all. Monday is a good day!!

Today I have 'earned my keep' again!! smile!! I got our washing all done plus I got the baseboard in the hallway all painted too. Also bought more paint to do the dining room!! That will start getting done on Wednesday.

Tomorrow I am keeping our two grands all day. Both Mommy and Daddy have to work so that leaves Grandma Sandy!! I think we will go to the pool here. I am taking a book and a drink (green tea of course) and letting them do their thing. Me in a bathing suit is NOT a PRETTY picture!!

The nice man from the air conditioning place came this morning. When they put in our unit there were a couple of things that happened. Our garage door looks awful!! They had sat a can of something out by the door. I think the sun caused it to bust!! It went all over our garage door.
It has set and "cured" so nothing will get it off. Believe me we tried!! They are going to order us a NEW garage door. Then upstairs where they were putting in the air conditioner they must have dropped a corner of the big unit because there are two gouges in our wood floor. They will fix that too. They have been so nice. We did not have anything to do with any of this and of course this is not our fault!! I am so happy that they are going to take care of this.

I got the plugs in my eyes today. It does not hurt....HONESTLY!! He put in drops that deaden my eyes. I had a time getting my eyes open so he just let me keep them shut and put in the plugs. My eyes do not produce enough tear or moisture so I need this to help the flow that is there. I am so happy that there is something that can be done. Just think of having little tiny pieces of sand in your eyes all of the time. Or your eyes feel like they are red balls of fire and are wanting to explode!! That is the way it feels. I have been told that my grandmother (dad's mother) had dry eyes and could not even cry!! Well, I have been so lucky to get them!! I don't know how she stood it.

Hope your day is going great!! I have had a good day!! It is HOT and i hear on the news that is to get HOTTER!! GREAT!! We got a little bit of rain yesterday..but it was nice to see it rain. We just need it very bad. I have one tomato turning red on my little plants...How fun!!

Remember to keep praying for Grams; Denise at Shortybears and also for Betty's husband, Edward at Cozy Cottage. They are all having such bad problems right now.

FLIP FLOP

Thought for the day: "When you are down to nothing God is up to something"

Hi Sandy. I'm glad you have drops to help your dry eyes. I can imagine how uncomfortable and painful that feels.

Wishing you a great week ahead. Take care.

Betty said...

Hi Sandy,

My, you are getting your place all fixed up. You'll have to take pictures when you are all finished.

Do you know how dry your eyes have to be to be able to get the plugs put in? My eyes are real dry but not to the point where it feels like sand in them. Keep us posted on how your eyes progress from having the plugs.

Hi Sandy. From your comments, I guess you are not working at Curves any more. I love being at home, and I don't know how I found the time to go to work!

So glad your dry eyes are okay now. Those little punctal plugs are amazing, aren't they? A friend of mine had them inserted and she doesn't know herself now.

Glad all is well with you.

Hey Sandy!

I'm so glad the air people are taking care of the problems they caused. This shows good business, doesn't it?

I hope you're having a great week and making some memories at the pool today. I'm off to the Science Museum with DSs 3 and 4.

Love,

Susan

So, today you start your JOB as the Babysitter Gma! And in summer, sitting around the pool with the grands is ... just GRAND! Luz loves her pool too! Makes the day go by quickly! I'll be there with her today as well.

So are the Faux Tears doing their thing? I sure hope so!

Happy painting tomorrow! We leave for Ocean City on Saturday - will be gone a week! I can't WAIT!

Boy, you've had a lot on your plate!
I'm very glad that the companies that employ these guys are making it right for you. It doesn't always work that way.
I can't imagine a condition that makes your eyes feel as though sand is in them! Gee, I hate it when I get a little speck! I'm really glad that there's a remedy.
Enjoy the grands - memory-making times.
~~~Blessings~~~

Where are you getting all that energy to do all the painting? Having plugs put in your eyes sounds horrible. How are you doing. Enjoy your second retirement!

Sara said...
