Saturday we went to hang out with my parents. We ate a new restaurant and had a strange pizza.

 

 

 

 

It’s bacon cheeseburger pizza with fries on top. Never seen that before however it was good!

My mom also got me this music box. It’s pretty and it plays too ra loo ra loo ral an Irish lullaby.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sunday I changed my first faucet. It was hard contorting my body to fit under the sink. Our old faucet was so rusty that you couldn’t turn it from one sink to the other. Also they sprayer sprayed you and the counter it was always a mess. This is the old faucet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New faucet. We love it! By having Jeff having me to do repairs I have to admit I am learning what it takes to do these things. I feel the sense of accomplishment when it’s all finished.

On Sunday night Jeff made steak. Oh I love you steak. It was so good and he made potato wedges.

 

 

 

 

Let’s try again….this Thursday I am getting my Lasik. I am excited and nervous again. But it will be all good.

 

 

Date Day

Posted on by under Everyday Life

We had date day yesterday and it was fun!

We went and saw John Wick Chapter 2 movie. It was good but not as good as the first one. Some of the parts were cheesy funny. There is this one scene with the guys in the catacombs with lights. Come on! Some bad guys those guys were. It reminded me of playing a video game on easy. ‘Oh here are some bad, guys can you find them?’ They are shining flash lights at you. Cheesy! Still worth the watch though and yeah open for a third movie.

We thought about going to Badger Sports however didn’t know the kids had either half a day or the day off. We figured it was going to be busy with kids since when we got done with our movie the place was crawling with them.

We decided to go to Mark’s East Side restaurant. Oh wow! I forgot how good their food is! I had a Shepherd’s pie. It was the best I have had ever! Jeff had chop steak with Jack’s bourbon’s glaze and on top was onion rings. I tasted it, it was amazing as well! We also had hot cocoa and hot cider. Mine was peppermint patty and yes it had alcohol in it. Jeff had hot apple pie cider.  I am light weight because after that I was a little drunk. Can tell I am a beer person. Ha!

It was a fun day to get away from the house and spent it with Jeff.

 

Disappointment

Posted on by under Everyday Life

 

So disappointed! Was excited and nervous to get my eye surgery yesterday. Well I didn’t get it. I have a benefits card and that is something new this year for our insurance and it didn’t go through. Our insurance says we don’t have money in our account which doesn’t make sense because it SHOULD be there. What the hell are we paying for? There is some kind of mess up on our insurance part.

I was angry yesterday and disappointed. It sucked because Jeff took the day off of work and we spent time and money to go there yesterday. To not have anything done. Money because we had to waste gas to get there. I just wanted to get it done and get rid of my glasses.

Now I have to wait. I did make an appointment on March 2 to get it done. So hopefully the insurance thing is all figured out and I can get this done.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Posted on by under Everyday Life, Holidays

Today is Valentine’s Day and even though I don’t celebrate let’s face it a lot of people do. Happy Valentine’s Day!

I am a getting a little nervous as my eye surgery is this Thursday but still excited to get it. I still can’t believe it’s only going to take 10 minutes! That is crazy to me. I already got all my drops. I have to take four different kinds. At least it’s not nose spray something I really don’t like. Ha!

Last year on Netflix I watched a documentary on bull riding called Fearless. It was how Brazilians got into the sport and focused on just Brazilian riders. I found it to be very interesting. So that spark an interest in bull riding. It’s strange because I have always wanted to go to a rodeo. Just never thought of bull more horse. Now I put that on my list of things I need to see. I would love to go and see some of the favorites. Isn’t that funny! I have favorites.

Right now I have favorite bull riders and I just learn that you can have some favorite bulls. It’s just not the rider it’s the animal as well. I think that is cool! Here are the bull riders I like and really no order: Cody Nance, JB Mauney, Joao Ricardo Vieria and Guilherme Marchi. I think Guilherme Marchi is fun to watch because he is so positive regardless if he wins or loses.

Talking of sports I really can’t wait for NASCAR! Not sure who I am going to root for yet. I am not a huge fan of NASCAR but I do like watching it. I am actually excited to watch.

Jeff is okay! His doctor reviewed all his test results and said he has no cause for concern. I still think he has anxiety. However I think he would do well with some herbal stuff first and see how that goes.

I can’t believe my eye surgery is coming up! Now I feel a little nervous. I had my eye exam and my eyes really dilated. I haven’t had my eyes dilated in a long time and they said that it can last for 24 hours. Well my eyes were dilated for almost three days! It was crazy! They did some test where they take images in the back of my eye and I got to see them. That was cool. Also Dr. Smith was so nice and explained things well. I think why can’t all doctors be like that? The Optivision in Appleton is a lot nicer than the Optivision in Green Bay meaning the facility was nice and the nurse was actually nicer. If I would have known that I would have scheduled all my appointments in Appleton however can only have the surgery in Green Bay. We choose Green Bay because it’s just a little bit closer but would have been worth the extra minutes to go to Appleton. Oh well.

Friday night was scary and I was feeling nervous. Jeff hasn’t been feeling well so we went to Urgent Care which they sent us to the ER. We were there for three hours! Jeff said he felt disconnected and was getting headaches. Also his blood pressure was up and he felt dizzy. There was this nurse Josh that wasn’t very nice in the beginning but by the end he changed his tune. 

In my opinion I think all nurses and doctors who work the ER should try at least to be nice. No one wants to be there so why not show some kindness? I wonder if it’s just me sometimes because I am not afraid to call them out on it. I understand it’s your job and everyone has bad days but this is the ER. A little smile or a little kindness goes a long way in the ER.

It’s always a toss up what doctor you are going to have as well. Are you going to have a doctor who actually shows they care or are you going to have a doctor that you are just another patient. Jeff had a doctor in the beginning seemed like he cared but by the end he wasn’t. Jeff has a fear of needles and didn’t want to get his blood taken and get an IV. So he let them take blood but not the IV. That is when the doctor was changing his tune. He acted like Jeff was being a baby. Not true! We all have fears. Why can’t needles be one? Makes no sense to me.

Well after all the waiting and tests found out Jeff may have anxiety. They can’t tell you for certain only your doctor can. Also hes has too many red blood cells in his kidneys. So he has to see his doctor to see what to do now. I hope he will be okay. Been worried now since Friday.

On another note. The Superbowl was on Sunday. I was rooting for the Falcons to win. Looked like they were on their way and…nope. Too bad. Historical NFL events happened in this Superbowl. First Superbowl to go into over time and second Tom Brady has won five Superbowls those are some achievements. Neat! Even though not a fan of either team still cool to witness it.

The halftime show was cool! Not my favorite but still great to see. I was thinking I wouldn’t know any Lady Gaga songs but she did some of her older songs. Wow! She is put on a good show. I liked all the drones and the dancing, the lights were also so cool!

Strange I was thinking I would have nothing for my last entry of the week. But then again life happens again! Ha!

Something really ironic. I told Helen I am getting Lasik surgery. On that day I told her she said her mom was getting done that day. Ha! Isn’t that so ironic?! In Russia they have it done then they go to a hospital. In America you go and come home. I rather come home and I think anyone would. She is doing great! Which makes me want to get this done even more.

I have told Helen and April I am getting this done. Anyway this astonish me. Helen seems way more concerned of me getting surgery which is understandable she was really worried when I got my carpel tunnel surgery done. However she seems more worried then April. I understand many people get it done and it’s no big deal however any surgery can be risky.

Seems like Helen and I are the same in concern. I get worried about April and even put in my calendar when she is getting medical stuff done. But then when I had my carpel tunnel surgery the day April sent me a text wasn’t expecting that. Even when I got my teeth done I got one from her. So maybe I will get a text. Just strange if you never had it done you want to more details about it. Since Helen’s mom had it done and they are close I am sure they shared details about it.

Just seemed strange you know?! Anyway Monday I get my eye exam and my eyes dilated. I can’t remember the last time I had my eyes dilated.

TV

Posted on by under TV

Since nothing is going on in my life right now, I decided to talk about TV.

I don’t know about anyone else but DAMN! That Superman in Supergirl was HOT! Which is strange for me because I don’t usually go for the younger guy. He made me blush. Ha! I so hope he comes back to Supergirl. I am surprised on the rating on Netflix for Supergirl which I guess I shouldn’t be. I have seen some cool shows and movies on there where I look at the rating and say What?

I could see that Superman having his own show. Who would play Lois Lane?

Jeff and I are watching Tom Hardy’s Taboo. First of all Jeff watching this show is a first! It’s very dark literally watching it at night is hard sometimes. Ha! However the content is dark as well. I have seen quite a few shows with this content but not this story. It’s funny because Jeff is like “Is that how women were treated back then?” I say yes. If anyone knows even a little bit of history women haven’t had it easy. But he was like “What are women complaining about today look how they were treated back then!” And I am like “Right!” Also he can’t believe the King how he looks. He looks gross in Taboo however rich people had everything back then even diseases. Ha!

Seems more then any other years that superheros have been taking over. I know what a lot of them but the one I like is the Flash. I have always liked the Flash and wondered why they don’t make a show with him? I was so happy to see the show! I like it.  I wish they would make an update movie thought that would be cool.

Jeff and I watch many shows together but one I really like is Timeless. I love the history in Timeless! The Characters are likeable and they make me feel for them which makes for a good show. I have to say I always can’t wait to see where in time they are going to go. I hope they get renewed but if they don’t I hope that they don’t leave them back in time. I hate when time shows do that.

I am only going to talk about Scorpion but I have no idea why I am still watching this show. I guess a good fluff show that I don’t care what happens and can work on other stuff while sort of watching. This show is getting ridiculous which is sad because I really liked it when it first started but they can’t do no wrong in the show. The stunts are becoming like “Come on no way someone can come back from that!” I have never really watched the old Hawaii 5-0 but used to watch the reboot and now Scorpion is being like them. Like no way anyone can solve these problems and live through the situations they are in. I think soon I will stop watching this show. Too bad could have been a good show.

Tuesday I went to Optivision in Green Bay for my consultation for Lasik. I am a candidate for it! I am excited! I will never be excited for surgery again, I think. Ha! Anyways I thought for sure they would have me fill out paper and ask me a bunch a questions like they do when going to the doctors. Nope. Just why I want Lasik and did some test on my eyes.  Everything is going to happen in February. February 6 is when it starts. They will do a full exam and dilate my eyes. February 16 is my surgery and the day after is a follow up. I can’t wait!

Also on Tuesday after my appointment we went to Dunkin Donuts got some donuts and coffee for the parents. Then headed to my parents house. Wow they did a great job on decorating their new house. Check out this painting my mom found. I love it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This pic doesn’t do it justice but the there is actual fabric sticking out of the dress. It’s so cool!

We took dad and mom out dinner. It was nice to be able to do that and celebrate dad’s birthday.

January 20 we got a new president. I am a bit sad not because we got a new president no, I am sad how people reacted. The rioting was unnecessary. Basically destroying and hurting others for nothing. Businesses destroyed and what does that accomplish? Nothing just ruining someone’s business they worked hard for. Didn’t change who was president.

Also there was a huge women’s march. Here is my thing I am a woman and I am pro life. So the march didn’t apply to me. However if I were to say that or even put it on my FB page I would get attacked. Isn’t that unfair? Supposed to be country of free thinkers yet I think that is a disguise. You think freely and have opinion as long as it follows everyone else. If you have a Republican way of thinking you are also wrong and a woman! So wrong!

Dumb right?

Yes.

Anyway I have a Republican way of thinking sometimes and sometimes I have Democrat why of thinking there for I am an Independent. Have been for a long time even though I grew up in a Republican family. I also think I live in the best country for women! Therefore I think the march was dumb. I think of the other countries where women are still what it was like here in the nineteen hundreds and before that. I think my country can be consisted of a bunch of cry babies. Especially Democrats. When President Obama was elected Republicans didn’t act like that. They didn’t riot or hurt others.

The political game is complicated! And there will always be people that have the harshest opinions about things. Welcome to the human race. That doesn’t mean hurt others or property. That doesn’t mean my opinion counts less because I disagree.

Whew! I feel better now.

Saturday Jeff and I installed a toilet. I have never installed a toilet before. Our old toilet:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was old as me 33 years old! So basically as old as our house. No wonder we couldn’t find kits to fix it. It has gotten to the point where it would run and run no way to stop it other than turning off the water.

So the toilet we were going to put in the actual bathroom ended up going in the laundry room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This toilet can flush a bucket of golf balls not that we would though. Ha! It was hard for me becuase it was heavy! The wax ring was hard to get cleaned off as well to put the new one in.

Wow the Packers sucked! I had a feeling that the Packers were going lose but I didn’t think that fast. My prediction was going to lose in the second half of the game. So wrong. I only thought that because they barely won last week.  The Packers played like they didn’t want to go to the Superbowl. Too bad! I knew that Falcons were good this year and they showed it yesterday.

Tomorrow January 24 is my dad’s birthday! He will be 62. Tomorrow I am going to Optivision in Green Bay to see if I can get Lasik. I am excited and hope that I am a candidate. Life without glasses would be so cool! I have had glasses since second grade. Tomorrow Jeff and I will go to my appointment then stop by Dunkin Donuts. Get some coffee and donuts then go to my dad’s house. We will have dessert first while we wait for mom to get home from work. Jeff and I are taking dad and mom out dinner for his birthday. I think will be fun.
