Well, last night I called our Office Manager and explained that I just needed the day off as G-pa had too many appointments at one time. She said no problem. So, I took today off.

A lazy day, well not quite. I was running with Billy. You see Ray had to be in Tacoma to attend a court appearance, and Billy had a doctor appointment. I took Billy. I picked him up at noon and took him out to lunch. "Just the two of us." Then we hit Target and found him another pair of pants. That is the one thing I can say he honestly needs. We checked the clearance rack and the cheapest pair was almost $18.00. So I told him to find a pair for the regular rack. The were the same price or less. He was happy. Then he headed for the video games and of course he found one. I bought it for him as he has been doing homework everyday. AND... I made him do more before he could play. That was not his plan, but he didn't fight it.

We still had time to kill before his appointment so we went and checked out the new shopping area in Gig Harbor. Just happens to be right across the street from our doctor's office. We now have a Borders and that pleases me. After we walked around a bit and decided the shops were mainly for the upper crust, we went to Borders. I foound Branden a book, "Windows Game Programing for Dummies". It came with a CD for his computer. He seemed happy with it.

Time for the doctor. My reason for taking him in, sleep apnea and allergies. He said the allergies were easier. He gave us nasal spray "samples" to try. Not too many doctors around do that anymore!!!! The sleep apnea, he is ordering a sleep study for Billy. Now IF our insurance is OK with it. We have to wait and see.

Then we had to hit the grocery store. What a day. Of course then I got to cook and clean after I got back home. Oh well, I guess it goes with the territory. It was after 5:30PM when we finally got back home. It was a good 5 1/2 hours of one on one time with Billy. He didn't have his MP3 so we actually got to talk.

That was my day mainly. Not sit back and read a funny...

Ramblings of a Retired Mind

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse.

I can't afford one.

So, I'm wearing my garage door opener. I also made a cover for my
hearing aid and now I have what they call blue teeth, I think

You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.

I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on
beer cans!

I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.'

I thought about making a fitness movie, for folks my age, and call it
"Pumping Rust."

I have gotten that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest is falling into your drawers!

I know, when people see a cat's litter box, they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat?"

Just once I want to say, "No, it's for company!"

Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency.'

I think you should write, "A Good Doctor!"

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office?

What are we supposed to do... write to these men?

Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the
mailmen could look for them while they deliver the mail?

Or better yet, arrest them while they are taking their pictures!

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older Then, it dawned on me, they were cramming for their finals.

As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve.

Bye for now, Be safe,
Granny
