I'm stupid!

I'm spending the day waiting for Bright House Networks to come and install digital cable and phone. I already have BH Internet. I have to say goodbye to DirecTV and NFL Sunday Ticket. Can't afford it and I'll save money with the BH package. I'm hoping that a lot of the Steeler games are on national TV and those that aren't will have to viewed at one of the bars/restaurants in the area that broadcast them. ;-)

I have spent the last week trying to track down my mammography films. I had my first post-op mammogram this past Friday and they need the previous ones for comparison. So prior to that, I had called the 2 locations where I used to go for mammograms, my radiation oncologist, my surgeon, my medical oncologist and the hospital's breast care coordinator. No luck and I started to get frantic. Then I thought, maybe I should make sure I don't have them, although I don't why I would. Well, I started looking around this morning and OF COURSE, I DO HAVE THEM!! Geeeeez. I can't stand myself. Tomorrow I'll bring them to Florida Hospital's Imaging Center and hoping they can read them all at that time. And that will be their permanent home from this point on. At least now they are using digital mammography so all future ones will be stored on their system.

My arm is doing much better. I go 3 more times this week for therapy, then I should be okay barring any flareups. I'm trying to use my left arm more, but it ain't easy. Try picking up a watermelon with your non-dominant arm and hand.

I had a great time while Jeff and Lili were here. They flew back to Pennsylvania on Thursday. My energy level was better than expected, but it caught up to me this weekend. I was a little melancholy after they left. I've had a string of company since early May. I really have to find a way to spend more time in PA, especially during the summer. I'm having a tough time with the Florida heat and I miss everyone there. My dream is to sell my house, buy a condo here and a house in PA. I'm not asking for much, right?

While Jeff and Lili were here, we went to Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, Sea World, Ocala and West Palm Beach. Lili made Pancit and Lumpia for all of us. I love that. I've made Pancit before and now I'll try to make Lumpia. Her stuff tastes great, so I'll have to practice a few times to get it right I think. Joe, Lili, Jeff and I drove to West Palm Beach a week ago Sunday to visit our aunt, uncle and cousins, including our cousin Jo Ann, visiting from Austin. She made Tutilles (not sure I'm spelling that right), which are an Italian bagel-type thing that my mom used to make. She found a recipe on the Internet. I have my mom's recipe and made them yesterday. Brings back many fond memories.

They were also a big help to me. Among other things, they reorganized my garage and did a lot of weeding. Now my tomato plants and herbs have some room to breathe. Not sure how well you can tell, but the cherry tomatoes (in the 2nd picture) have been doing well, but the plums were attacked by fruitworms. We are finally in the rainy season, so everything should finally green up and take off. And we should be out of danger for wildfires at this point.

I have an incredible amount of important things to do, and I really can't procrastinate anymore! I also need to find a real job. I could use some prayer in both regards. And I will try to post here more often than once a week.

My high school's 30th reunion was last fall. I never go. High school was not the most pleasant time for me. They're having a picnic this summer. Let it go, already! LOL. I went to the website to look at pics from the 30th and my first thought was, "Who the heck are all these old people?" It was a bit shocking. I guess I still think I'm 21.

Speaking of being 21, Happy 21st Birthday to my niece, Marissa!! Her sister, my youngest niece, turned 17 in May. Another reality check!
