Journal Entry for July 9, 2009 Mood
Thursday, July 9, 2009

Cool I think I'll stick with the new browser as DS works so much faster and my serenity is getting better! I'm not yelling at the screen any more! I've been doing the gym thing in the mornings and my foot is feeling better but I have to wear shoes from the moment I get out of bed in the morning. I'm a barefoot kinda guy!

Bought the blinds for my living room yesterday and after getting one set out of the box and holding it up to the window, I changed my mind! I took them back today after my gym session. I'll figure something out. Back to the catalogs for ideas!

Back later.

************************

Stopped by and saw my friend Walter this afternoon.

I went with plain cream colored sheers to replace the rose pattern sheers that were up. They're light enough to keep the room bright and yet still provide a modicum of privacy. I put the valances back up but I may take them down just for a different "look". Whatever it was yesterday that had my stomach in knots is gone today! Yeah! So far I've had a breakfast bar and a small salad w/Tostitos. I have my usual Thursday night get together thie evening.

    I had blinds in my last home. They are are a pain to keep clean. Happy with my shades, easier to keep clean. Just wish I could come up with a solution as to window treatments. I need something easy to take down and clean.......Still thinking and looking at catalogs........Glad your foot is feeling better. Hugs, my friend, Pat

    I ended up getting those duette shades after Jim died. I had only curtains and needed MORE privacy... Alright, I admit it I was scared... We have had so much rain, and storms here for June and now into July it is not real.. Flooding,hail everywhere. Today is cloudy, but NO rain, supposed to be pretty good throughout the weekend with just a CHANCE of showers. We even had a tornado warning yesterday, very scary... I am trying to dry out my cellar a bit now. Not alot of water got in, but enough to make it a bit musty. Also running a dehumidifier. May have to get another.. I am glad that your feet are better. I was having issues with my WHOLE foot aching, they took x-rays, no arthritis. I was told to possibly go to a neurologist... Was it your whole foot that ached or just your heel, I forgot.. It comes and goes but it just hurts to walk sometimes. I can't blame it on my shoes, they have been the same, NO high heels for me, or being on my feet all day. Sometimes I can do nothing, and they still hurt. Not all the time, but flareups... Well, good look in the window treatment dept. Try looking into the cellular duettes..... Have a good night... Hugs.
