Still blooming

 The hibiscus is still blooming...but only a few these days.  Actually, early on it had a couple days when it had more than 20 big, gorgeous blooms.  Then it really slowed down to a few a day.  I didn't count.  Then the last couple of days it had 7 or 8....and this evening i think I counted 11.  It has sure been fun to have.  And the neighbor has one that I think is the same color and it has bloomed and bloomed and bloomed.

It has been a busy day for me.  I had a couple loads of laundry, vacuumed, dishes, and  a bit of dusting in our room.  And just now came down from quilting just a little bit.   I had loaded this photo earlier, or might have completely forgot to post tonight.

Seen at Lowe's today

 I just love Snoopy....and think this is so fun.  I did not buy it...don't know what I would do with it if I had it.

************                                                                                                                 I took a generic Zyrtec evening before last...I feel my sinuses draining, and throat just always feels kind of scratchy and sore.  I did not read about the medicine...Roger takes one every day.  It is the last time I will take something without reading the side effects.

I was so sleepy all day long yesterday, even had nap where I knew nothing that was going on.  I could do okay when busy, though thinking about when blowing off the patio, I really did not feel stable on my feet.  I had the thought if someone saw me that might think I had been drinking.

Last night when I gave Roger his meds around 6:30, I got in bed and slept till he came to bed around 9:00 or a bit after.  I laid there a while longer, got up to go to the bathroom, came in here and turned off the lights cause I had not told my daughter I was going to bed.  I knew she would just figure I was doing somthing for Roger.

Then I thought I will read a while.  So I did that but was soon sleepy again, so got back in bed and slept till around 4:00 I think it was...got up then and got in the recliner and slept till time for Roger's meds.  I even laid back down a little while after that.  But didn't sleep.  But that is the most sleep I have had in a 24 hour period since Roger had his stroke and/or the first day after I broke my leg.  I should have energy to burn but I don't. 

I did think to look up Zyrtec and it can cause drowsiness till you get used to it.  If I had read that beforehand, I would not have taken it.  Anything like that just knocks me out.

Wouldn't you like to sit a spell

 This house is over in Illinois...I could probably even take you right to it.  It is not far off the beaten path and is surrounded by farmland.  I would dearly love to see inside as everything about it seems to be so well taken care of.  It is well loved!  If it were mine, I would always be sitting on the porch when friends came and would invite you all to come sit and have a glass of iced tea, or a Coke or whatever you wanted.         

**************                                                                                                                 Finally, the laundry sink is installed.  It has been stressful.  The company we got are always so on time...this was just a confusing time.  The guy that came gave the estimate, tried to schedule it himself...or thought he was scheduling it.  He was not ignoring my daughter's texts.  

He was supposed to come today.  She texted me this afternoon to see if he had come or if I had heard from him.  I had not so she called the company back and asked what she had to do to get it installed.  They thought it already was.  She told them the deal with it...and told them the guy was very polite, and did not ignore texts, etc.  

So the girl she talked to said dispatch had to schedule things and told Rachel it might not be done today.  Rachel told her she didn't expect that...but that she would like to know because we couldn't keep just waiting and waiting and no one showing up.

In a bit dispatch called and  told her it would be done this afternoon.  And due to all the confusion, they are going to give her this deal where for one year she can get a AC inspection, heat inspection, and drain and flush the water heater.  And any work that needs to be done will get 15% off.  So they are trying to do right.  

Me, I am so thrilled to have it done...and actually glad to have it.  It will be so convenient when I want to add water to the washer before starting a load of bedding. 

But waiting for someone to come really wears on me.  First of all, there is always dealing with Copper.  I have to contain him some way.  If it was a woman, I don't think it would be as bad, but a lot of guys she just does not want anything to do with them.

I feel like I cannot sit out back because if they came without texting or calling, I would not hear them.  I barely feel free to go to the potty when waiting, etc.  I

Anyway, thankful it is done.
