Mouse in my house

Ewwww, last Friday when Betty was cleaning the kitchen she said that she saw mouse droppings. I bought some bagels that had everything on them and I was hoping that that's what it was from, it wasn't. We threw the bagels away and there was more droppings on Monday so I called terminix and they came out on Tuesday and brought these traps. By Thursday morning we had caught one, now what do I do?? I guess I'm going to have to get the neighbor or the guy across the street to come and take it away, I cannot bear to look at it. Madonna said when she went in there this morning she could hear it screaming like it was begging for her to set it free. I really hate the thought of killing anything but I cannot have a mouse in my house.

Today I get to go get my mammogram, thank goodness I cannot feel it like other women can. I also need to go to Costco and do some grocery shopping and of course take Brodie to the park.

Gramps

Today is one of the saddest days of my life. My mom just called and said that my grandpa is not doing very good at all. He is bedridden and has to be fed. He turned 90 years old last March and was doing pretty good but now he's going downhill fast and there's nothing that I can do. My Aunt Kathy and my Uncle Ronnie are going to visit them for Thanksgiving and my mom is going to go after Thanksgiving and stay for a while, I wish that I could go. He is a great and funny man and he had a wonderful life, I love him very much.

Another day in paradise

It really turned out to be a great day. I got a massage this morning, took a really hot long bath and ended up relaxing in bed, Lulu called in sick. Laying here watching TV all day really felt good.

It's a week and a half until the Abilities Expo, I can't believe it's finally here. This year I'm definitely going Friday to beat the crowd as well as Saturday. Hopefully I will find a vehicle that I like.

Home Maintenance

I think I finally found somebody to do home maintenance and he lives just across the street. The first guy I had over here ended up taking off owing me money, that's what I get for giving him an advance. The next company that I called lives in my aunts house and has a carping cleaning business and does maintenance. Twice I called them and they didn't call me back until after I found somebody else. This guy also has a carpet cleaning business and I have seen him quite a few times, I always see him fixing things in his house so I hope it works out... at least I know where this guy lives. I meet with him tomorrow.

Chicken Little

Last night we had KFC and watched a movie called Robots, it was a very cute movie. While we were eating breakfast this morning there was a movie on called The Rundown, that was a really good movie, usually I don't like movies like that. Today we went to go see Chicken Little, that was a very cute movie. We were going to go to Chili's afterwards but then remembered that it is Saturday night so we decided to order some pizza and watch another movie here.

Thanksgiving decorations

We took down the Halloween declarations and put them away for another year. We went to bring back the Thanksgiving decorations but I didn't have very many, this year Thanksgiving is going to be here. So we had to go get some more decorations, we went to Ross. They had a lot of really neat stuff there and I also found a couple of decorations for Christmas, I just love the holidays.

I no longer use an agency for my caregivers, they are all private now and I'm saving about $50 a day, caregiving agencies are just so expensive.

Stanley and two of the kids, David and Corinne, are coming down tomorrow night and staying until Sunday. I was going to go tomorrow to see Chicken Little but I think I'll wait so we can all go on Saturday.

Halloween

Last night was really great, we actually had a lot of kids coming around and even got to scare a few of them, unfortunately as usual I forgot to take pictures.  I'm going to take some pictures of the inside and outside before we take the decorations down today but I wish I had pictures of the people because everybody looked cool. We ate a ton of pizza, in fact I woke up this morning about 2 a.m. and thought that I was going to be in trouble, my stomach and head were really hurting, I lay here for a while and ended up falling back to sleep and when I woke up at 7 a.m. I felt good, that was close...too much pizza and candy.
