And more work on my house day. My brother, Paul, (the one who did the downstairs bathroom and the ceiling in my front room last year) called me yesterday. He said that he will be here around noon to do the floor in the front room which he was going to do last year, but didn’t get to. Doing the bathroom last year took longer than he had planned. And the electrician will be coming to change the plug on my new stove to a 3-pronger so I can finally use my new stove.
Pebbles has lost all sense of being feral! She’s gotten so sweet and affectionate, she’s making a total pest of herself. She pestered me while I was trying to play on my laptop computer. She runs up to me and rubs against my legs. She purrs the instant I touch her. And yesterday, she allowed Mark to pet her!
Thank you to everyone for all the happy birthday wishes yesterday! Getting up a little after 7:00 in the morning to be here where my window guys got here wasn’t easy, but I did it. They got here at around 7:25. They didn’t even need to get in the house. They did all the work from outside and by 10:30, they quietly left. I hope to have at least 2 other windows done next year. All in all, I had a good birthday!
Off topic but my current frustration level is at about a 9.
1. My computer is giving me fits. I’ve had Logan and Ronnie on it via remote for a week and finally took the darn thing into the office yesterday. It was a last resort because it’s my desktop one and a pain in the patootie to get all unhooked then rehooked up. So, I’m on the laptop until next week some time. I really only use this on trips so don’t have all of my ‘stuff’ which annoys me.
2. Earlier this month I had to see my DDS for something and he found a cavity under a 3 part bridge. This is never good. The plan was to remove it, take care of it and put on a new bridge. Well, as we all know, things go awry when you least expect them.
That little visit has turned into a trip to the oral surgeon yesterday that will result in not one, but TWO new implants. I won’t bore you with the minutiae of it all, but the bottom line is that $5K and 4 months later this will all be done. If you’ve never had an implant, the 4 months is the healing time once the bad tooth/teeth come out. But wait…there’s MORE!!
Usually, if the tooth/teeth are in the back, no problem. You just have holes until the implants go in. Are mine in the back? Of course not. So, my regular DDS had to get an impression and make what’s called a flipper. It’s kind of like a temporary partial denture so I won’t look like Hillbilly Helen. I only wear it out in public.
With trips coming up (Vegas next month and OKC in late Oct), I am not a happy camper.
Brad will be up in Cedar working the rodeo or events again. I asked what he’d be doing and he said he’s the stripping chutes boss now. Stripping?? Cowboys stripping? Sign me up, count me in! Do I get to pick which ones I want to strip?
Apparently that’s not the fun thing I thought it was. It’s the chutes where the steers or broncs or bulls go after a ride and the ropes or reins have to be removed. Hence the stripping. That’s not nearly as interesting as I’d hoped.

Keep trying Oliver, you will get it eventually. Let’s keep alligators out of it, though.
