One Day At A Time

It's been a rough couple of weeks. My gf has been in the hospital since last week. There's a chance she may be discharged today or tomorrow. Still there will be a lot of work to do. You never know what to expect in life. Surprises happen all the time. Some grand and others sad. 
We can walk the road to eternity
Never knowing when it will be
Like the waves rolling on the sea
Just finding it's way for serenity 

 

Sooner Or Later..A Ramble..

It's been one of those weeks. My gf is still in the hospital. I worry. And worry some more. Life always throws us the unexpected. So there's not really a whole lot to say in this ramble. I just hope she gets better very soon. At our age it takes longer to recover from any sickness etc. Our dog keeps wondering where she is. Now ramblin' on, here it is Saturday and a cool weekend. It's been a pretty cool week especially in the mornings. Plenty of rain too. The Fall is taking hold. So this morning, my usual thing is to go to the bank to get some cash. Not many people use cash anymore. But I like to for buying gas for the car or anything else that are simple purchases. At the grocery store I'm like everyone else, use the card..
So on my way back from the bank this morning, I was sitting at a red light and thought I'd take a quick picture of a pretty Fall colors. As you will be able to tell, good thing traffic isn't much at all. The light turned green about the time I took the picture. Taken from my phone....have a great weekend....

 

Sunday's Ramble

One of these days I'll come up with some better titles instead of a string of a million Rambles lol. Well things seem to be getting back to normal. I'm hoping the two times a week of dialysis for my gf will make her feel better than just the one day a week. She did real good yesterday and I think that's a good sign that twice a week is going to help her out. 
So last night about an hour or so before it got dark, there were these ghosts and goblins and a bunch of superheroes walking around our neighborhood. It's one of those fun things you always remember from when you were a kid. And today Halloween is much bigger than when I was a kid. What I remember most is going at night. Now there are more rules. Just because of the messed up world we live in today. It's really gone wrong and is getting worse as time moves on. 
But enough of that stuff. Trick or Treat time is a fun time for kids. Costumes and make-up and such are so much better than in my youth. It was fun seeing the spookys walking through the neighborhood.....Have a great week.......

 

Sunday Ramble A Sunday Kinda Day

I guess this could be a kinda typical Sunday. Yesterday my gf had her weekly dialysis. This time she when she was done she came home. Later Saturday evening she was sick, her stomach gets upset almost every week after dialysis. I don't know if the other people there get this way or not. Anyhoo her doctor, her kidney doctor that is, came to talk to her while she was at the dialysis center. She is going to have to go two times a week now. She was on three times a week then the docs cut it to two then one. She's not thrilled about it of course. When you have dialysis you are tied to the machine for about four hours. I feel for her. Dialysis during the week means she will have to take the bus. It's a Scat bus, one of the ones that accommodate wheelchairs. I'll get her ready before I go to work. 
Hopefully two times a week will help her feel better. Only time will tell. 
Also today in my city is the Susan G. Komen race for a cure for cancer. Actually it's already going. 
This weekend has been like a beautiful warm Spring weather. Unreal really. Blues skies and two weekends in a row! Late tomorrow it's all going to change. True Fall weather will arrive and stick around for the week. Most likely this is it. Once the Fall like weather starts and sticks, the next step is...well you know, the brrrr days for most of a year.....
A Blast from the Past.....
Well I had a nice little video to put in here but the video option seems to be frozen, so here's the link...

A Good News Ramble

Late afternoon Wednesday my gf came home from the hospital. She's still tired from the hospital stay. She still has a way to go to be fully recovered. Things like this make you reflect. For you never know what can happen when a person goes into the hospital. I'm just happy she's home now. I want to thank my friends for their thoughts and prayers. It's very comforting. 
The worst night was Monday. You never really get all the answers from the doctors so you're mind is full of questions. Plus I dropped our dog off at the vets so they could run a test on Tuesday to confirm he does indeed have Cushing's syndrome. Today I got the answer and it was yes. It's a lot to take in sometimes when it comes to who you really care about....
Once again, thank you for you being you.....

 

Sunday Ramble, Not So Ramblin'..

Started out as a great weekend. A normal Saturday. Take my gf to dialysis and then get the work done around the house. Well I get a call from the dialysis center close to the time my gf is ready for me to pick her up and bring her home. They tell me she needs to go to the ER. The center is just a few minutes away. When I get there they tell me they had called for the paramedics. So they bring me in and she is shaking real bad and can hardly communicate. Just a few yes and no's. In a few minutes the paramedics are there. Long story short she was admitted and is doing much better today. I still don't know all the answers. So far they say some infection. Sometimes she gets a uti. And that scrambles her memory. Just like this time. Later I'll write about the hospital experience. In the meantime our dog is ill too. So this week I'll drop him off at our vet and he will do a test to verify the syndrome he has so we can get him on the right medication. So all in all it wasn't that good of a weekend. So it's going to be a very busy week. I worry for my gf. She's not in great shape anyway so any little thing could be major. She's being treated with antibiotics so hopefully she won't be in the hospital too much longer. Our dog was looking for her when I came home Saturday. Anyone who has a pet knows they are not just a pet but family too. Let me thank you beforehand for all your thoughts and positive vibes....
"Let's sail far away, to yet another day".....

Sunday Ramble

The week that was. A coward shattered the lives of many. The authorities look for a motive. For reasons. They need not look. There are none. Not any that would answer to those whose lives he shattered. Nor to the rest of us. Just a coward who killed and wounded many. People who would have given him the shirts off their backs if he needed it. Don't ask why. Just wonder when the next coward will shatter more lives.....
We lost another great musician this week too. Here's one of my favorites by Tom Petty, an early one and also the first song I heard by him....
