Such a Nightmare-Worst I Have Ever Had

 Tuesday night, I could not sleep. When Tommy awoke at 8 am, I asked him if he just wanted to go now to get ads and bogo items we wanted. I think he was a little shocked. I am oats and he ate something. We left before 9 am.

I really did not want the bogo on Spice Island Ground Sage to sell out. He had gone through the spices on Tuesday to see what we need for the holidays. Ground Sage was the only thing that we needed. While at Publix where Ocean Spray cranberries were $4.99 for 12 ounces, I looked to see if they were on sale. Yes! They were 2 packages for $4. I bought two and they are in the refrigerator. Those will be gone before the day is over. 

We got bananas, white grapes, Miracle Whip (2), 2 small packages of strawberry Jello, bag of Meyer Lemons, one Spice Island Ground Sage bogo, We did not buy much, just bogo items we needed and a few other items. 

I was in the bed for  nap by noon. I slept until 6 pm when I awoke from a nightmare. I was murdering someone. I had a long, bladed weapon. It was three feet long, mostly blade. Now, you know I could not wield it! It was gory. I immediately regretted what I had done. Then, I woke up. Lots happened at the beginning, but I cannot remember it which is probably for the best. 

Two appointments have been scheduled, one on Thursday and another on Friday for getting a shower installed we can use. I need to investigate both companies. I know the rotted-out window will need a repair. There is no exhaust fan. One-inch tile on floor and walls will probably need to go. I am sure the massive mirror will go. Vanity probably needs to go. Sink is rusted. 4-inch tiles on the wall will probably be ready to go once all the tile with leaks around them are removed. It actually does not look as bad as it sounds. The new commode will go. The light fixture I bought for the kitchen will go in the bathroom. I think what I described is 'gutting.'

Cleaner was supposed to come to get the car title. I have no idea why she did not. Her daughter bought Tommy's car. But, the mother's name will be on all papers. She had a much more extensive surgery on her hand, so no telling how long it will be until she can help me again. 

I received a text from creep. He said he searched for text I did not like. He said he sent it to me by mistake and he was sorry. He said it was for his girlfriend. He apologized again. I just read this as it showed up on window of flip-phone and did not reply. Hopefully, he will just go away. There were other issues. 

Today, when I went out at about 9 am, it was very cool and pleasant--no wind, no moisture. I hear we are in for much cooler weather, more like it usually in in November. We still have a huge tree that is green. 

I am excited about the new bathroom! Tommy admitted he was afraid of getting into the shower since he hoists himself by holding onto the shower frame. I will love washing my hair sitting down in the shower instead of bending over the sink since I am afraid I will fall trying to hold onto wet sink and counter. 

Thursday, I will cook the cranberries I took from freezer. They will be our Thanksgiving cranberries. I use much less sugar than the recipe on the bag lists. The two packages I bought today are in the freezer for maybe Christmas. Saturday, I plan to cook pork loin and vegetables to eat and to share with neighbor who takes out the garbage can each week.

It is only two weeks until Thanksgiving. Unbelievable. How is the plan for cooking coming along. Anything cooked and waiting in the freezer like I have done?

  1. Your bathroom renovation does sound exciting!

    Tell the company that all work needs to be done as closely as possible to ADA Standards for Accessible Design. That will help ensure you & Tommy will have the functionality you need.

    For example, if the toilet is next to the vanity, ensure a horizontal grab bar is installed on the vanity to assist with sitting/rising.

    There should be a vertical grab bar next to the shower to help step in/out. There should also be a long horizontal shower bar on the longest shower wall. The ADA Standards will spell it out. You don't have to do everything advised, but just knowing the recommendations is so helpful.

    My plans for the Thanksgiving weekend are minimal. We are having Thanksgiving brunch, not dinner. So, waffles, eggs, bacon, Mimosas. Turkey will happen anothe time--maybe Xmas.

    I will use one day to make our winter's supply of cranberry chutney. DH will take over the kitchen another day to make a 40-lb pan of lasagne. LOL. I joke about how dense it is, but it IS delicious. And I don't have to make it. So...

    1. Sue,
      I have discussed lots of the safety items with them. I do pull on the vanity.
      Brunch sounds good.
      That is a huge and heavy lasagna. I love lasagna and have never made it. Is this all in one pan or several pans?

  2. I might cook a little a couple of days before Thanksgiving, but no sooner than that.

    1. Anne,
      That is what normal people do...lol. Of course, cooking one thing is a chore for me.

Okay, hoping the annoyances have gone away.
