My Poor Jenny Craig... We went to the Vet's and they prescribed pain medication. Every morning, she wakes up and starts screaming till the pain pill I push down her throat goes into effect... Its horrible to hear..
I have the GoFundMe site up and running and have not even half the funds for the surgery Her Veterinarian e quoted me, but its getting there. I know there is another place I can take her that would not cost as much as he quoted, but I don't have a car and to get there it would take 3 buses.
I finally called another Vet that is Mobile..And he will be coming out tomorrow between 12 noon to 3 PM. I have to find someone else that will do the dental surgery for less. I don't know how much longer I can take Jenny in such pain.
I am sharing this site in hopes there are some that are Dog Lovers and would be willing to help with my Fund.

My Exciting Day..
I thought Jenny's Doctor's Appointment was this morning... So we took off early.. Since she also needed to be walked to do her thing.... I decided to take the bus, so walked up to Jay Blvd.. (its not really a blvd)... Not even close.. just a street.... Anyways.. we walked past Home Depot,, and down Newport Hwy. to the bus stop. For some reason I enjoy picking up the number 25 there instead of the other direction..
Got to Pet Smart inside to Banfield Pet Hospital, only to find.. wrong day... LOL.. so we walked to the bus stop and got back on the bus and got off in front of Home Depot. Walked across the street.. (Jaywalked)...lol...
Went into Home Depot to find that spray that will take off dry paint.. Found it.. will go pick some up tomorrow. Then we walked on home.
Once in the apartment, I decided to bring the flat screen TV into the bedroom.. Still getting it all set up for Winter living... Got it all set up.. Everything is working Just fine...
Got my shoes back on and went to pick up bus 26 to the Foot Doctor. I have to say.. It was like Day and Night.. Loved this Doctor, plus his Nurse was Fantastic... Will be using him always.. or for as long as I live in Spokane. lol
Waiting for the number 26 bus was good to learn my patients.. Took forever... I was good... Got home and decided to check for any mail.. The mail lady was just putting mail in the slots.. So I went into the Office..
So here is another good thing that I am so excited about.. OH.. I never said that did I?? Well..... The Manager told me that when I fill out the rent check.. To only make it out for........................... ...$104.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! Yes Sireeeeee... the money I was giving her for the dog deposit?? is being used instead for my Rent.........Yeppy... I am going to save a lot of money . $300.00...... Too excited to sit down.. Hahahaha

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...

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...

Went to my First Food Bank in Spokane
Don't get me wrong,, I am very grateful for the things they gave me. But...
We thought we would leave early for the Mead Food Bank,, Since everyone we spoke to about it said it is Packed.. Well,, we left at 3 PM.. and when we got there, there were only about 15 people in line. So we got in line, and I said to the woman who went with us.. OH.. watch out.. there are wasps right by your head. we were sitting in the shade. She was leaning up against the building. So there were Wasps flying around all over the place.
When a woman came out of the door, she had everyone sign in. We were 16,17,and 18th in line.. Which means Squat ... I thought,, oh it won't take that long.. They took the Newbies at the end of it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the time we finally got our stuff,, and got home.. it was 6 PM. And they say we can only go there once a month. So there are people out there that don't know what they are talking about. OH. by the way.. I got stung by a Wasp..!!!!!!!! I was NOT doing anything.. it landed on my right ring finger and stung me!!!!!!
I am exhausted... to say the least... I have yet gone in to put stuff away.. Better get in there to do it.

A Talk with my Sister
I have decided to call my Sister once a week. We really do need to stay in contact. So as we were talking about stuff she was telling me about when she and her Son and Daughter in Law went out to dinner Friday Evening.
OK... so let me just say that my Sister has 3 urns. One is my Mother, One is my baby Brother, and the last one is my Mother's second Husband. My Sister has decided she would wait to figure out what to do with them. Now I know there are a lot of people that have their dead ones on a Mantle, and she doesn't have a fireplace so she was thinking of putting up a few shelves and putting them there. I am not squimish about it all. But seems her Son and Daughter in Law have had a few "Laughs" about them.
The first time her Daughter in Law said something she called them my Sister's Shrine. That got my Sister pretty upset. She kept her mouth shut since at that time she was living with them. But Friday Evening took the cake.
I guess once they were seated at a table, both son and daughter in law started with negative talk,,and then what broke the camels back was the daughter in law and son saying... Oh,,its for your Shrine.. when she heard that they were headed to the hardware store if she could come along to buy some shelving.
My Sister told them both to Go you know where. And got up from the table and went home. She is still upset about this. And so far her Son has not contacted her about it all.
Her son met and married a young woman that came from Money... What ever that means..But that is what my Sister says .. the young woman is snobbish in all ways. And now he Son is acting like that also. I think the Son has forgotten where he came from and where he lived for the past 10 years before he met this young woman... Prison for attempted Murder.. Sad but true... Sad that it happened, but that is what it is. We talked about how people do change once they get rich, or better off financially.
So that is what has been on my mind today. And the fact that there are still fires all around us and I am still having to keep my AC on due to them. I tried opening my windows this morning but found I couldn't do it. So closed them all up.

What a Day
Had to take Jenny to the Vet's today.. It was HOT outside.. and we walked. Well, Jenny was put in my little grocery cart.. so she wouldn't be all that tired when we got there. And anyways.. as soon as we get to North Dakota and Jay Ave,,, she puts her breaks on.
So in she went. We got to Pet Smart, where Banfield Pet Hospital is located.. and they were kind enough to let her stay there a few hours till I got a few things taken care of.
I found a Meat Market here in Spokane,WA. And it has been here for a very long time. So I had to take 2 buses to get there. Thank God for AC in the Buses...It got to 91 F. today.. And I wore my hat and sprayed myself with sunscreen... which I am thinking it clogs the pours and makes me perspire even more!!! I got to the Downtown Plaza and had to find # 90 bus.. which was right there.. So then got off at Helena and Sprague and The Meat Market was right in front of me. I bought the weekly deal.. cost me $49.99. Then I got back on the bus headed back to the Plaza.. and that bus driver was so rude..
She did stop for me.. and I got on.. but she didn't bring the bus to the curb, and I had that cart full of meat.. and she didn't even lower the step!!!! After I paid with my smart card.. I turned towards the back.. and she started driving!!! I almost fell.. didn't even wait till I got sat down.. I was really upset... And made mention of this.. so at the end of the route, she stopped me and told me that next time tell them (drivers) to wait till you get sat down!!!! I let her know that the Bus Drivers in Tacoma always waited for their fares to sit down before heading off..
So I had to wait for the next bus and called Spokane Transit and complained. Telling them that what if there was an elderly person getting on the bus .and they just drove forward and that person fell??? and really hurt themselves??? anyway.. who knows if they will do anything about it..
I got off the number 25 bus and walked to Pet Smart and got Jenny.. and took the bus back to my stop. And that was that.. by the time we got back home it was 91 F... And I was melted ....LOL

I got off the number 25 bus and walked to Pet Smart and got Jenny.. and took the bus back to my stop. And that was that.. by the time we got back home it was 91 F... And I was melted ....LOL

How to Stop buying Processed Foods
Its the hardest thing to do, but I am going to try my best to start eating better this year. Its not a Resolution .. Its something I have tried getting better at last year. Its kinda hard with what I have to deal with.
I get a very small Social Security Check each Month. And so with that I am fortunate enough to get Government Food Stamps, or now as they are called "SNAP". I don't know how they determine how much each person or family receives.. But for me they have determined that I only receive $109.00 per month. Well, for the next 6 months anyway. Then it is determined again. We have to be re-evaluated every 6 months. My Monies have not changed in that 6 months, so I have no idea why they cut them. Other than they just don't have enough for everyone, who knows.
So, where should I buy my groceries? There are several Grocery Stores around, Some on the very high end of the spectrum, while others are on the very low side. There is no difference in food products within these grocery stores.. Only that the high priced ones for some reason sell higher than the other ones.
I have been visiting a Food Bank, which helps out a lot, but I can't get there unless a friend is going. And so far we haven't gone in several months. We are suppose to go each Monday, but for some reason or another we just have not gone. By going there I can get fruits and veggies,canned and boxed items.
I usually go to WinCo. I always thought those letters meant Washington, Idaho, Nevada, California, and Oregon. See.. ... But no it doesn't. But that is OK.. I loved my way of thinking .. LOL.. Anyway, they usually have everything I need in their Grocery Store. And now I am going to see if I can buy everything I need by trying my darndest to not go down the Isles.. I know. What if I need a Cream of Mushroom or a Cream of anything soup for a dish I am making? Looks like I will have to make that soup before I make that dish.. Its going to be an interesting Month. I think I want to see what I can do myself. That is the Challenge I have for myself this month. Now Lets see if I can do it..... LOL.. Am I going to have fun with this? I don't know.. we will see.
Now I have to see what I want to prepare for my Dinners for the Month. Well, I usually grocery shop each week, it seems to save me money this way for some reason. And I make out weekly Menu's that I go by for the week, another thing that saves me money. When I have a menu, I buy what I need from that menu, and use everything that I buy, Hardly nothing goes to waste..
Which before, I was just going to the store and buying meats, veggies, and canned goods,, butters, milks and such without knowing what I was going to do with them. And there were times I would open the crisper up and notice something in there that I forgot to use, and had to toss it out. I cannot afford to waste any foods or money ... And I was.. It has taken me a very long time to figure it out. But that is OK.. this is an important time in my life.. Living to the end of it .. Keeping me strong, and sound, and making sure I have the best foods to sustain me till the end of life..

Babies Sleeping
How old is a baby before they aren't a baby any longer? I have a friend who has a Grandson who will be 3 years old in Feb. He has been I think Coddled his whole life because he was born with a serious Kidney troubles. He only has one now, but he seems to me to be doing very well.
He goes to Morning Day Care since he has his Grandmother and Grandfather to go pick him up. And then his Mother comes home and puts him down for his nap.. He still breastfeeds, Only at Nap time and night time.
So this is what is going on. I know that he has his naps starting at 12 noon. And his Grandmother and Grandfather have to be very very quiet so that he doesn't wake up. When I went to visit them in June, and he had his napes. My friend and I would whisper or even go outside to talk normal so he could not be woken. Now, they live in a pretty big house.. And the door is not completely closed to his room, but no noise is allowed when he is sleeping. To me it doesn't make since.. that child should be sleeping with dogs barking or door bells ringing or the cell phone ringing without him being woke up. What harm does this type of thing do to a child ??

Very Exhausting and Expensive Day
The first of the Month, getting my Social Security Check on Friday instead of Sunday is Great.. although at the end it really is hard..But that is the way it is.
So, I made my Menu for the week, wrote out my Grocery List... and got ready, and walked to the Bus Stop with my cute little 2 wheeled cart... Yes.. Now lets talk about that 2 wheeled cart... Here it is, its a really nice cart,,, Only,, it has some really weak wheels on it. And I took it today to go grocery shopping and guess what?? Yep.. I had it loaded to the brim with groceries.. and as I was pulling it along, it lost a wheel. This guy found it, so yelled over at me to let me know,, at this time I knew I would have to call a cab, there was no way I would be able to pull this broken thing all the way home. So, I found a Taxi and called them and they were so nice. I got home,, and here

Getting things in Order
Since I am moving in December either at the end of the month or anytime after I receive my Housing Voucher, I have to get someone to help with the heavy lifting of furniture. So someone told me about a few places that would help.
So, I started looking and on Facebook one of my friends told me about the Mormons and the young boys have to do service work to finish up their Mission. So I looked online to see where I should call, and got hold of someone in the church in Utah I think anyways... LOL.. He gave me a phone number here in Tacoma. And I held onto that phone number till yesterday,when I thought I should call to see if they could help. Only when I dialed the number, it came back as a disconnected number. So I had to start all over again. Someone told me to call Deseret Industries, so I did and they gave me a phone number to call, which I did... and got hold of a woman who was in a meeting and would give me a call after the meeting to give me the phone number where they could help me.
I hung up and finally this morning I got a phone call from that woman, she said she was so sorry to get back to me so late.. but that was fine I know how things are. She gave me a phone number so now I called them. Now am waiting for a call back from that number. LOL.. It is a process isn't it?

Almost Midnight ...
I have been watching You Tube all day long. Trying to figure out Google+. Now why can't I figure it out? Really confusing. I have all my photos over there and I like that. But, I have to figure out how it all works.
Has anyone else had a problem with it? Or as usual it must be me... LOL..
Since I have a Roku Device, I am able to watch You Tube Streaming through my TV. It really makes it easier for me to watch and follow the program... but still its a bit confusing... But there are still things on there that I really like. Just have to figure out how its done..

What is a true Friendship.
Friendship is not a contest. And that is what ws told to me after she walked down the hallway. "All That I Have Done For You". Is that what you tell your Friends?
How do you think they would feel after you told them this? "All You Have Done For ME....is make me feel and look like a Bully. I was told to choose my Battles. And I should have left that friendship alone after the first break up. Now I feel like a Fool for all the things I had done while in this friendship. I was a Marionette... To this person,, I have no idea why I became this other person.. I suppose it was because I was a bit lonely for a friend.. I hadn't found that friend in Seattle, and then after moving to Tacoma, I met this woman that was from Southern California and we just clicked as friends. But, there was something about her that I would dismiss. Things she would do or didn't do. She would do and say things and then forget that she did them.... She would get a bit wired at times. Then she wanted to go sit in the Social Room and she would sit looking toward the Lobby to see who came into the building, She would want me to turn around to see who this person or that person coming in was. She would make horrible remarks on lots of these people. Now why did I stay friends with her? I have no idea, only that she was a friend and I was accepting her as she was. At one time I told her that I didn't care who it was that walked into the building. I was not interested. Then there were times that she was talking about something and when something would catch my eye and I would look away beyond her. She would get really upset, and say,,,Well if you don't want to listen to me then you can go home. Once I did that and that was the first time I stopped talking to her. She told me that, I then just got up and walked away, and stopped talking to her for a few months, then one day as I was walking Jenny, Jenny wanted to walk over to where Von was, She really missed her. So we started the friendship up again. It only lasted.... 4 weeks, before she started acting funny again. I cannot speculate as to why she was this way. But I do know that she takes a pill to sleep and it is actually for depression I think. And so it is.. I will not be treated in such a manner. Even though she started something I was the one that did the deeds.. I was the one that was a follower... I wanted a friendship so bad, that I Jeopardized my Housing. And that is not what I wanted to happen.
So what do I do? After making a total fool of myself, do I go apologize? Or just leave it alone ? Or do I go talk to the Manager about all this? I know I will be leaving this apartment at the end of the year. But I want to leave with the feeling of not being the Bully they think I am.

Drama in the Social Room
We have a social room, we have a game room where there are lots and lots of tables and chairs and even one table that is made for card games. So why are those women going into the Social Room and bringing in a tape and turning it up full blast?? What is the purpose of this?? Let me know.!!!!!! Von and I could not go in due to them listening to the loud music and they were sitting right by the double doors to the social room. There were people walking by and wondering why the music was so loud. No one went in. Which kept everyone out, even those that wanted to watch TV.
Finally there was Gale who had got up from the table and walked to the information board just outside the double doors and finally I was able to ask her to please turn the music down. We, Von and I were sitting in the lobby.. But a few minutes later that Josephine (male/female) got up and turned it up .. What a bugger she is.. So, today I got on my laptop and wrote a letter and tomorrow will be handing it over to the Office After all that is what they require when there is something that a Tenant is unhappy about something. I wonder if the said letter is ever placed in the person you are complaining about File???? Wouldn't that be something.. LOL.. Just like at work.. Hahahaaaa.
We have been having problems with Josephine ever since we moved in. both of us. This person does not like dogs. She knew there were dogs before she moved in. What was she expecting? That we would just not have our dogs with us?? How about those people that have Companion dogs or Service Dogs?? Does she yell at them to get out of the Social Room because she is allergic to dogs??? Good God.. Crazy is what I think she is...
