HOLY COW, WE GOT GLOBAL WARMING

I LIVE HERE IN FLORIDA, SOUTH FLORIDA, JUST A FEW MILES NORTH OF THE KEYS.
FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS WE HAVE HAD SOME REALLY COOL WEATHER.
YESTERDAY WHEN I WOKE UP IT WAS ABOUT 50*. IT WAS COOL ALL DAY. I EVEN HAVE BEEN USING THE HEAT IN THE EVENING JUST TO WARM THE PLACE UP.
TODAY UPON WAKING UP THE TEMPERATURE WAS 43*. NOW I HAVE THE HEAT RUNNING ALL DAY. I SHOULD BE RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONER.
THE HIGH YESTERDAY WAS MAYBE 68*, TODAY IF WE GET LUCKY IT WILL HIT 70*
I CANNOT EVEN GO OUT CAUSE I HAVE NOT GOT ENOUGH WARM THINGS TO WEAR...BUT FRIEND, WE ARE HAPPY ABOUT SOME STUFF. LIKE ALL THE GUEST AND THE KIDS THAT ARE HERE FOR THE HOLIDAYS...CANT GO IN THE POOL. CANT PLAY OUT IN THE PARKING LOT WITH BALLS AND FOOTBALLS. EVERYBODY IS STUCK IN THE APARTMENTS...AND ANOTHER THING, THEY CANT PUT THE KIDS IN DIAPERS IN THE POOL. THATS A GOOD THING CAUSE EVERY YEAR SOME KIDS POO FALLS INTO THE POOL...THEN THE INSPECTORS COME AND CLOSE THE POOL AND THEN IT TAKES A WEEK TO REFILL IT...
I THANK MYSELF EVERY DAY FOR GOING TO THE LIBRARY TO GET A GOOD BOOK TO READ (BREATHLESS, BY DEAN KOONTZ).
TOMORROW I HAVE TO GO FOR THERAPY ON MY KNEE AGAIN. IN THE AFTERNOON I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DOCTOR. I WILL HAVE TO PUT ON MY SKIVIES (IS THAT RIGHT??) SO YOU FLOLKS IN THE COLD NORTH AND COLD MID WEST AND THE COLD SOUTH REMEMBER THE FAMOUS WORDS OF OUR FORMER VICE PRESIDENT.."WE HAVE GLOBAL WARMING" THINK GREEN EVERYBODY SEE YA

BUMPER TO BUMPER, EVERYBODY GOING VERY SLOW.(NOT A USUAL THING HERE). I CIRCLED NEAR THE ENTRANCE I WANTED FOR A HANDICAP SPOT..NONE. PEOPLE WERE HUDDLED IN THE LOBBY WAITING FOR A BREAK TO RUN OUT TO THEIR CAR. SO I PARKED AND WAITED ALSO. A HALF HOUR OR SO LATER I LITTLE LET UP..I DROVE AGAIN TO THE HANDICAP LANE. AH..A SPOT..#2OFF THE CORNER. REALLY CLOSE. I GOT IT. NOW I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR..GET THE WALKER CAUSE I DIDN'T DARE GO WITHOUT IT..I WALKED TO THE ENTRANCE THROUGH A RIVER..REALLY, MY SOCKS GOT WET..OH WELL. DID MY BUSINESS AND LEFT THE STORE..NO WAY TO LEAVE THE BUILDING NOW..COULD HARDLY SEE MY CAR THROUGH THE RAIN. SO I SAT FOR CLOSE TO AN HOUR.. MET A NICE WOMAN FROM LONDON..LOL...IT LET UP SOME AND EVERYBODY RACED TO THE PARKING LOT. I GOT TO MY CAR IN A DEEPER RIVER THAN BEFORE..OH WELL. THE UMBRELLA WAS A TOTAL NO-NO. SOAKED I WAS..NOW, I HAVE BEEN HERE MANY TIMES, I KNOW A WAY OUT. I HEADED THAT WAY. THE CARS COMING IN THAT ENTRANCE HAD THERE GRILLS COVERED ALMOST UP TO THEIR HOODS. OH NO, NOT ME..I MAKE A TURN, CARS ARE DRIVING WILDLY THOROUGH THE LOT. ME TOO.. IT WAS SOOOOOO DEEP.....I DID AVOID IT. WE HAD BIRDS BATHING IN THE PUDDLES!!!!, I FOUND A WAY OUT, GOING THE WRONG WAY FROM MY HOME..WAS ABLE TO U-TURN LATER.

POST THANKSGIVING

SO TODAY IS SATURDAY (I THINK) 2DAYS PAST THE TURKEY DAY. ITS A GOOD THING THAT MR. O, OUR PRESIDENT, (JERK) SAVED ONE BIRD FROM BEING SOME POOR SOLES MEAL OF THE YEAR. ANYHOW LETS GET REAL.
MY BROTHER USUALLY PICKS ME UP AND THEN TAKES ME BACK HOME. I TOLD HIM THAT THIS YEAR I WILL DRIVE IT BOTH WAYS. THING IS I REALLY DONT DRIVE AT NIGHT ANYMORE CAUSE I HAVE NOWHERE TO GO. SO GOING UP TO BOCA IS A 35/40 MINUTE DRIVE ON A GREAT ROAD WHERE IF U ARE GOING 70 CARS ARE PUSHING U OFF THE ROAD. I AM A 80MPH DRIVER. THIS TIME WITH MY RIGHT KNEE HURTING SO MUCH I DECIEDED TO DRIVE NOT MORE THAT 65 (POSTED LIMIT) GOT THERE IN 35 MINUTES. COMING HOME IN THE DARK THE ROADS WERE A LITTLE BIT MORE CROWDED. SO I WAS DOING 80..NO, I WAS NOT WASTED. THEY ONLY ALLOWED ME ONE DRINK WHEN I GOT THERE. TRYING SOME NEW FOR A VODKA GIRL, CAPT. MORGAN'S RUM. YUMMY. ON THE ROCKS....SO ANYHOW I GOT HOME IN 40 MINUTES. NOT BAD. I DID NOT WANT TO MISS "PUNKIN CHUNKIN" ON THE SCIENCE CHANNEL.
MY S.I.L. AGAIN OUTDID HERSELF..BIG OLE TURKEY, HAM AND 7 SIDES..STAY TUNED FOR THE LIST..LOL. MASHED TATERS, SWEET YAMS WITH A HONEY DIPPED WALNUT TOPPING, DO DIE FOR, NOODLE PUDDIN, BROCCOLI SOMETHING, CRANBERRY MOLD, A VEGGIE STUFFING AND ONE I FORGOT. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. I DID NOT GET LEFT OVERS AS HER DAUGHTER/HUSBAND AND 2 LITTLE ONES WERE STAYING OVER FOR A FEW MORE DAYS.
SO, LETS TALK ABOUT THIS KNEE PROBLEM..ITS SWOLLEN, MY DOCTOR WAS AWAY LAST WEEK AS I SAW THE PA. I WILL GET TO HIM TO GET SOME SHOTS IN THE LEG. NO, NOT SHOTS LIKE BOOZE, BUT SHOTS LIKE NEEDLES!!!! MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE A COUPLE OF SHOTS BEFORE I GET THERE...BAD GIRL ROBERTA...IT HAS BEEN A GREAT SEASON, NOT A HURRICANE IN SIGHT. IN FACT IT WAS THE DRIEST WET SEASON EVER. FROM LAST NIGHT INTO TODAY THE WEATHER HAS BEEN COLD. (TELL THAT TO MR. GORE), THIS AM IT WAS 52, REALLY CHILLY FOR NOVEMBER. SET A LOW RECORD..SO I HOPE Y'ALL HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING AND WILL HAVE A BETTER CHRISTMAS..THEY REPORTED THAT BLACK FRIDAY WAS GOOD FOR THE BARGAIN HUNTERS..HOPE SO. AND NOW FOR THE FINALE, SEE YA

SINCE MY LAST POST, I HAVE SEND MY PUTER BACK TO HP FOR REPAIRS TWICE. I MADE IT CLEAR TO THEM THAT I HAVE A LEMON HERE. IF THEY WERE A GOOD AND HONEST COMPANY THEY WOULD HAVE SENT ME AN UPDATED NEW ONE..ROFLMAO
ANY HOW, DURING THAT PERIOD, I FELL TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WHEN I BROUGHT THE PUTER BACK TO FED EX. WACKED MY ELBOW AND KNEE PRETTY GOOD. SPRAINED MY ANKLE. NOW HEALED. THE SECOND TIME WAS LAST WEEK WHEN MY MIDDLE SON CAME FOR A VISIT WITH MY YOUNGEST GRANDIE. HE IS JUST 7. GREAT KID. WANTED GRANDMA TO PLAY SHUFFLE BOARD WITH HIM..OK..MISSED A STEP AND DOWN I WENT AGAIN..SAME KNEE, SAME ELBOW AND A FEW BRUISED RIBS..OUCH. THEY STILL HURT. MY DAUGHTER CAME TWO DAYS AFTER THE GUYS WENT HOME. NOW YOU HAVE TO KNOW US. WE FIGHT ALL THE TIME..ITS OUR LOVE POTION..MY BIRTHDAY IS IN TWO WEEKS. YEAH, A BIG ONE. BUT AT THIS STAGE THEY ARE ALL BIG...SHE THREW ME A SURPRISE PARTY AT A GREAT PLACE IN BOCA RATON. SHE INVITED MY OLD FRIENDS, WELL NOT OLD, BUT LONG TIMERS..NY BROTHER AND S.I.L. AND HER FRIEND. NINE OF US. SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS MEETING WITH HER FRIEND AND I SHOULD GO TO. I DID NOT WANT TO GO.. WE GOT THERE LATE CAUSE I TOOK MY TIME AND WAS REBELLING. WHAT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE. I CAN USUALLY FIGURE THESE THINGS OUT, BUT LIKE I SAID, GETTING OLD AND STUPID...DUH..IT WAS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME SINCE LAST YEAR. MY OLDEST SON AND MY D.I.L. WILL BE HERE RIGHT AFTER MY B-D. ANOTHER SURPRISE IN STORE FOR ME??????NO, I DONT THINK SO..
SO NOW I HAVE TO PLAY WITH THIS COMPUTER AND SEE WHAT IF ANYTHING I LOST. AND ANOTHER THING..I STARTED ON FACEBOOK. I HAD 61 E-MAILS. I DONT EVEN KNOW 61 PEOPLE. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO GO TO MY IN-BOX. HEY FACE BOOK. SEND THEM DIRECTLY THERE..OK. IM BITCHIN..SO I HOPE I FIND ALL MY FRIENDS ON THIS BLOG AGAIN. MISSED Y'ALL.
