Hello September 2017

Hello,
 I wanted to post a page that I did of my grandson Alex. He is getting so very big. I am not sure where or when this photo was taken but I love it. He looks so grown up here!
 I used my friend Kyra's kit called "Afternoon In September". I thought that it was really great since today is September 1st.

 So I hope that all are doing well. I am ok. I had the eye surgery and today I can go a little while without the eye patch. I am not sure if the one that I have is defective or not. It is uncomfortable and it rubs the top of my eyebrow. It feels like it has plastic stitching that has little stickers at times. The pharmacy has some disposable ones that I think that I am going to get for my next eye surgery which is September 20th. It will be the left eye, then 3 weeks later the right eye, 3 weeks after that some laser surgery and then after that the injections once again. It looks like I am going to have as many visits to the eye specialist as I did with the dentist.

 Speaking of the dentist, on September 6th I have my first appointment for my impressions done for my dentures. I will be glad to get those. Miss Edna told me a few weeks ago that when we go to Florida this year, (If nothing happens) that I will be a new woman hahaha... I can live with that!

 I have several appointments today. My son is my authorized representative so he and I need to go to the Social Security Administration today. He is off on Monday but it is a holiday for us. It is Labor Day so we need to go today and we also need to go over to my doctor's office and pick up some paper work.

 My sisters made it back safely from their vacation in Mexico. I talked to 2 of them. Now I just need to talk to Kay and see how she is doing. I was worried about them flying in due to Hurricane Harvey but they didn't have any problems so I am happy about that. I am sure that they had a good time.

 My friend Patsy has a bad case of the shingles and my brother in law had a bad case of Cellulitis. I am happy to report that both of them are doing better. Patsy said yesterday when I talked to her that yesterday so far has been her best day.
 My sister Sharon called last night and my brother in law Raymond is doing better too. So I am relieved to know this news.

 Matthew flew out to Nevada yesterday morning so he is back to work. He and his little girl video called me. It was so awesome! I forgot I was wearing my patch and she stared at me and said Nanna's a pirate! LOL. She wore an eye patch to for a little while but I was afraid I was scaring her with it on so I took it off  but Mom and Dad told me to put it back on. So I did.

 Cisco is sleeping! He hasn't wanted breakfast yet so if he doesn't get up soon he will get lunch. No need for me to make it now if he is sleeping.

 Ohhh I was going to tell you a story. The state of Texas had to shut down 15 refineries due to Hurricane Harvey. Someone, a stupid someone posted on social media (Facebook I think) that everyone had better go and fill up their cars because we were running out of gas. Texas has plenty of gas, but panic set in. We could not get gas anywhere. Cars lined up even out into the middle of the road!
 So we were worried that Karyn, Jon and Nathan would not make it to and from work today. So Karyn got up around 5:00 am and was able to get gas, and so was my son. Not many cars lined up but sooooooo many stations are completely out because everyone panic'ed and was fueling up everything that they owned, even bringing in gas cans.
 Even tho we have lots of refineries all over the country, Fuel trucks run on a schedule. So they deliver gas one day a week to certain places. These stations usually use around 10,000 gallons a week so if they run out which they did, they have to wait for their regular rotation to be refueled but the news said that they were going to try and refuel as many as they can but their regular contracts have to be serviced first.
 I forgot how people panic over things like this. Just think of what the people on the coast are doing without fuel? Of course they have lost a lot of cars. Last count I heard was 500 thousand were destroyed or under water.

 And while everyone is focusing on Texas and Louisiana right now, poor Bangladesh India is flooding so bad they are loss of life, crops and livestock. They said that they have not seen rains and floods like this in 40 years. This too is breaking my heart.

 Jonathan is home so I will close for now so we can go on with our errands... Hugs to all and have a great day... BB
