The sun is shining the rain has stopped

I awoke at 5:30 and contemplated a trip to swim, but on Monday's at 6:30 the swim team meets at 6:30 and I'd have to get out or meander in the shallows or just shower early and do my hair and get to work early do I stayed in bed till almost 7.

I watched the Grammy's last night. I didn't know any of the bands except two individual people and enjoyed Jennifer Hudson and Paul McCartney. I didn't know he had a new song out. I don't like rap and even with New Orleans in the background and the minstrel jazzy umbrella carrying and jumping and break dancing to Lil Wayne I couldn't understand his lyrics. I thought he put the stereotype back. I saw his interview with Katie Couric and know he had had arrests for week but he has an 8 yr. old daughter. I wish he was more concerned with being a role model for her.

I'm off to the Dr. again. My back has been bothering me. Although the state has ruled my disability claim to be closed and over I am still in pain. I guess I need to lose weight and swim to help the arthritis.

I'll try swimming tonight and see what the traffic is like. I know a lot of people go after work, but from 7-8, maybe not.

My blood pressure is 120/86. That's good. There was an error on my paperwork , a typo that said.08 instead of 80 so the recommended acupuncture was disallowed and the state disallowed the claim and our carrier the same so she is going to resubmit the paperwork and suggests I see a spine Dr. too for a 2nd opinion.

My estimate for the car came back too. For a new multi display screen the cost is $921.50. I was thinking maybe 500.... ouch! I wonder if it would be worth a used one. He said he would give me a 10 percent discount on parts and labor. That was not including tax. So, that knocks off 100 dollars or so. There are reconditione units and I am looking into that. Apparently this year's unit had a lot of problems and there is one guy out there wanting to start a class action law suit. It can range from 4-850 for a unit not new and Toyota. There are over 2000 postings about it. Did you know that a parts person won't look up a part without a VIN? They want to make sure it is the right part for the car! The search continues since I have a navigation system, the cost in more.

I tried a Cottage Cheese Double with pineapple. It was horrible. The stuff that was pineapple was not real pineapple. In the future I will continue to buy pinapple eith crushed or chunks and reduced fat cottage cheese and get two servings. One serving of these convenient but icky combo was 130 calories and 5.5 oz. didn't seem like that much.

Gas ia 2:23

Time to fill up. I noticed when I drove across town to the larger farmer's market. It goes on for 5 blocks, filled with persimmons and pomegranates, celery peppers, apples, grapes and food galore. I got yellow and black mile with tortillas and went for the chicken curry m Indian, with Nan, a savory whole wheat crepe with spinach, feta and tomatoes. I got fresh squeezed O.J. to feed my cold and a pumpernickel bagel along with some fresco sea scallops.

I needed to take my camera. I really don't know how to use it.

I stopped to get some cold pills. I have been infer the weather and slept a lot. I stopped at the library to drop off some books.

I went home for a nap. I read and slept for 3 hrs. I for up closed the doors and made the scallops.

My ear is still messed up. It hurts.

Cranberry juice

I have a UTI and it hurts. I need to drink lots of water and cranberry juice and I'm going to see the Dr. tomorrow. I made a run to the store last night at 10:0 for the cranberry juice and couldn't find the capsules. I guess I'll have to look in the health food store. I hate to drink the juice because of all the sugar and calories. I sure don't have any appetite. I need to get the yogurt down though. It really hurts and the frequency is unbelievable and there is nothing to yield. crazy. I made it through my classes going 3x, drinking nothing. You have to run there is no control. miserable.

I found out the kids are paying 500. each for their two classes for 6 weeks.

I had all my papers graded and gave 3 more quizzes.

My friend Gloria came over and we are trying to win her a car entering all the numbers for the supermarket sweepstakes. I told her she would have to pay taxes on it though. Burst her bubble.

I've got to make up more quizes. I handed out this weeks essay and vocab. Next week they start their research papers.

nap time.
