Meatless Friday.. LOL

Today my breakfast was Oatmeal, with a slice of toast and peanut butter on it... and a cup of tea..

For Lunch I found a can of black beans, I had 2 cans of Ro*tel I put them together and warmed them up.. I also made from the Avocado's I bought from The Grocery Outlet Store.. and tomatoes.. and made Guacamole,,I have cheese, and onion.. So made Veggie Taco's..

For Dinner .. I will have above but will add Cod to the Taco..

What??? NO MEAT??  Oh.. well..  can't have everything... I ran out of meat sometime back. I have salmon and cod in the fridge.. gonna have to do for the next 4 days.... Living on a very skinny shoestring.... LOL.. but I still have my savings intact..... Hahaha.......

My Little Quirky LIfe....

All the places I have ever lived has been non smoking.Of course those were enclosed buildings. This is the first Apartment complex that is not enclosed...And the Tenants are allowed to smoke in their apartments.. Only... ........ ONLY.... my neighbor below me doesn't want the smell or stains of cigarette smoke in her apartment.. so she....Smokes on her Balcony.................Where do you think the smoke is going??? I wonder if she is even thinking or even cares that when I wake up I come into the living room and open  the balcony slider door.. for fresh...air... Which I am not getting at a time or 2 or 3 or 4 or.. well.. you get the idea..

I have spoken to the Manager about this. And she says there is nothing she can do about it. Since there is Nothing in the Lease about NO Smoking. Except no smoking in the pool area.....This morning I opened my slider.. and got a whiff of cigarette smoke and almost threw up.... I guess I will have to go talk to my neighbor about this.  That would be the best thing to do.

What A Disastrous day.....!!!!!

...In my opinion anyway.... 

Had that Foot Doctor's Appointment. By the time I stepped foot outside.. It was Raining Cats and Dogs.. I did not take my camera.. It was way to wet. By the time I got to the bus stop I was soaked from head to foot.. I even took my umbrella... which did nothing to help. I need a larger one.. There were people that were coming very close to the sidewalk in their cars,and trucks..and trying to get me even wetter.. I WAS Screaming at them!!!!!!! They were laughing at me................

I finally got to Frances Street... and it was not raining at all there. just maybe a few drops here and there. I got to the Foot Doctors, and walked in,, Those young women behind the counter were not very helpful.. I had to take off my jacket, and walked over and got a few tissues.. and tried wiping away the rain on my face and glasses... I filled out the forms they wanted me to... and then someone called me to the back and into a room. She told me to take off my shoes and socks.. I told her I was so sorry that I was so wet,,, it was a Torrential rain out there...She said no problem.

So I sat there with my feet wet, and cold.. and I was shivering with cold... Finally the doctor came in and yes, he shook my hand... I bet he hated doing that.. The Scum Bag.........Bastard............!!!!!!! He never once touched my feet,,, He is a foot doctor after all.. All he said was that I had Hammer foot.!!!!!!!!!!!! And if I were Diabetic.. I told him no I was not Diabetic.. He then asked me who my Doctor was ...I told him that it was Doctor Doggett.. After all I did write it on that form I filled out..

He said he had no idea who he was,,, and where did I go see him.. I told him At Providence .... He then told me after his assistant came back in to the room that because I was not a diabetic he just couldn't cut my toe nails.. Oh.. and that if I wanted to clean up the fungi I would have to get a Blood test to see if My Kidneys were in Good shape...!!!!! I was so pissed off,, at how he stood there with his arms folded.. and standing so far away from me.. Like I was some sort of homeless person.... is how I felt..

I then got so pissed off I started crying.. I had had it with his holier than thou attitude.. I got up from that chair.. and told them that I did not feel like I was being treated in the manner I should be .. And that they all acted like I was some sort of homeless person.. And don't touch me or else you will get what I have.. By this time I was putting my soaked socks and soaked shoes back on.. And I just walked out and that was that.. but OH.. I cried.. I tried calling my BBF but she was not around.. I was so upset..

I knew that after the Foot Doctor, I was going to go to World Market, so thought I would go anyways.. maybe make me feel better.. So when I got in there, I thought of calling my Doctor and letting them know what happened. I was standing there in one of the isles .. Bawling my eyes out telling the nurse about my experience with that Foot Doc..... After I hung up.. I can't recall what I did with the cell phone.. But, in the mean time,, I asked one of the people that worked there where something was and she had this boot on her foot.. she was seeing a Foot Doctor and so we talked about this one I went to.. She said she had gone there the first time,, and he had given her the wrong diagnoses.. Saying she had a Tumor in her foot!!!!! When I wasn't that at all..... I felt sooo much better when she told me her experience with him.

So in the mean time, after i went to Jack in the Box for their taco's.. Yes.. one of my favorites.. sorry.. just is.. anyways.. I walked back to World Market and talked to the Manager... asking him that if he found it he could go into my contacts and call my skype number.. as i have it in there..

Once I finally got home.. I called Assurance wireless and since I have another cell phone had that one activated.. and I am sure that other one is history.. But I will be buying another one, since this one is not as good as the one I just lost...

I hope this comes out.  This is an Artist from Reno,NV that started building this thing for Burning Man.  I love art and this type is amazing.  To be able to look at something and see it, then buy an old RV and build something out of it is just Amazing... 

Big Storm Came Through

Got some really good shots of a tree that just fell late afternoon yesterday.  Plus lots more...

The winds were up to 60 or so MPH.  And there went a tree in our Courtyard.

I also got some video... but can't figure out how to get it on here.. will have to try...but not right now. I understand that there were over 35.000 people without electric last night and this morning. As a matter of fact, at 7:13 our electric went down.  Finally came back up about 3 hours later. And you know what ?  I never missed the laptop nor the TV. I did have the Sunday Newspaper, which I took outside on the Balcony and sat there with the cup of Tea I was able to make before the elect went down... thank goodness for that.. lol.  So I sat out there looking at all the adds, and listening to all the birds chirping away... There was more photos.. here are a few more.. Poor Car.. That tree found its target.. Car being Red and all.. and Boom,, got it dead on... lol.. I think its ready for Car Heaven.... 

 

Anyway that is it for now. I need to get things done around here.. Making Salsa for my Mexican Meal... yum...

Getting Things Done or Not

Shoot.,, I should just have walked to Winco.. Would have been better off.. But I thought if I went to Walmart, there were the things I needed besides food,, I looked at the spray paint,, found the one I wanted,,, but no one could tell me the amount it could cover. So I just decided to wait and go to Home Depot for that and everything else I needed for that Bistro Table and 2 chairs.. I even found the material I wanted for the Chairs,,,and there was no one at the Fabric counter or any of the isles .... There were 2 of us waiting, and then the young girl tried using the phone to call someone over to help customers.. she could not get the phone working, so had to go to her department and do it.. I got impatient so put almost everything back except for the foam for the seats. I did get the round glass there,, I still need to get those fuzzy things for the table so the glass can sit on them ...I can get those at Home Depot, and have decided to go tomorrow to Michael's and get the fabric.. I am still looking for the guts to that Rooster Clock i have hanging in the Dining Room.. Lots things I want to do,, just have to space them out...

What is going on....

I got Jenny off to her walk then we came home and I got ready for the walk to the Grocery Store.  I must say it is very Humid out there today. Which I had no idea at the beginning of my walk.  Half way there I was wishing I had not started this walk.  But kept going. I had things I needed for the recipes I had found. 

Got into the store, where I thought I would have cooled down. I didn't, I just stayed hot all the time I was in there.  The Deli Girl that I asked for bacon wrapped it wrong,, and the tag she used that had the price fell off,, so walked back and asked her if she knew how to wrap a Burrito?  Hahaha, because that was how you should wrap things back there... She said, it has a tag on it. I showed her that it had fell off.!!!! And to put another empty tag on it.. She acted like I was asking for the world!!!  I just wanted it all to be wrapped the right way so it would not fall apart when I put it in my 2 wheeled shopping cart.  

Got home but was not feeling so hot.  So I laid down after getting the things put away.  Got up from the nap.. and fell over.. thank goodness back on the sofa... Still not feeling so well.. It must be all the humidity.  I got my shoes on and walked the rent check down to the managers office, where the woman who was there said. Take a Cupcake, I told her that I didn't eat cupcakes,, I do make them and I do eat them,, but I sure didn't feel like having one so just told her I didn't eat them.. stopped the questioning... 

Tonight here at the Apartments we are having a Community Meeting out in the Court Yard.  We all don't have to cook . Thank goodness.. I don't think I could have anyways....

So that is all there is to say, other than the meal I plan on making tomorrow.. Mexican Meal,, Yum.. Making my own Spanish rice, and Frijoles a La Charra..That is for tomorrow ... gonna start in the Morning.  And just now remembered I forgot something.. Beef Broth.. darn.. well,, looks like a walk to Walmart will have to be done tomorrow morning.. Only a 5 minute walk one way...
