Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in blogland. I hope you all have a great day and count your many blessings from Jesus. I have so much to be thankful for and the list is too long to post.
I am thankful for my Lord and Savior
I am thankful for my beautiful family
I am thankful for winning almost $600 the other night.
I am thankful for the food we will have on the table and
a roof over my head, such that it is.
I am thankful for my health,such as it is, but I am alive,
so that is much to be thankful for. There are so many
that don't have health insurance, so they are left to suffer.
I am especially thankful for all the friends I have met on blogger
and I can truly say that I love you all. You have listened to my
whining and for that I am grateful.
As I said before, the list could go on, but these are the important things in my life. Christmas is taken care of and we don't have to charge anything at all this year, so the plastic can take a rest.
I am also thankful that the wood is being delivered on Saturday and I will have a new storage room for now, so I am clearing out my craft room and it will become a bedroom again. It has taken a long time and the permit was not easy. You almost have to give up your first born for a permit-lol. They expect you to draw the image you are building and thank goodness Al can draw the picture like a professional.

I hope you enjoy your families, because Al and I will be alone on Thanksgiving. A friend is coming for supper, but we are taking a trip to Micheals at 4 when they have their door busters sale from 4 to 6pm and there are a few gifts I need to get. Have a safe, Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. Love and hugs, Pat

No pics today

I have been busy decorating and making my Chrismas cards to send out. I still need about 20, but they are coming along and should be finished for December 1st.
Hubby has started on the storage room that will be a closet and part sitting area for my bedroom, but for now, it will be used to pack up my craft supplies and furniture. It took an act of God to get the permit. They almost wanted an archtectural drawing of what he was building----down to how many 2x4 we will be using. My closet will be 8x10 and the sittting area 8x10. I am tired of packing summer clothes to make room for winter clothes because down south, you never know what the day will be like. It is supposed to turn cold tonight and I had to haul out and wash some winter clothes again. Rain is forcast for Thanksgiving day, so I am glad we got the garland up around the door outside. Just have to finish the picture window and add a few little touches outside. I gave away all my outdoor decorations because of storage space and now I wish I still had a few of the things, but they are in good homes and the people appreciate them.
Well going to see what else I can dig up to put out. My bathroom is bare, but I need to keep it simple since my other bathroom is filled with boxes of crafts and material I inherited.
Hope you all have a wonderful day. Love, hugs, and Blessings, Pat

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

What a beautiful site. This is where Donnie wants to move to. It's in Upstate NY and if I remember it's called Trivil or something like that. Wish he would find a house with a mom apt.-lol. I love it when I went in October, because we don't see Autumn like some do. Everything mostly stays green or the leaves just fall off the trees. I can't wait till Christmas when he will be with us. Now if we could just get Chris and David here, it would be a perfect Christmas.

Well, I had my angiogram and was very mad at the doctor. The instructions that I signed said I would be put in a conscious sleep, but when I got into the operating room, he said he didn't do that. Needless to say, I don't like being lied to and was not a happy camper. He found blockage in 4 arteries and 1 was over 70 and one was 65. He said he couldn't put a stint in the 70 one because of where it was. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing. I was wide awake, remember everything, and felt every thing. He then added a medicine that I was already taking, instead of just telling me to double the dose, to save me money. I had just had it filled, so I had 90 days worth of medicine and I was not going to get another one. When the nurse called to see how I was doing, I told her I would not be coming back to him and why. So I guess I had what they call a rage moment, but I was very calm when I told her in no uncertain terms, I would not come back to him, that I didn't like being lied to. She made all these excuses for him, but didn't succeed in changing my mind. I will go back to my former cardiologist. I am on a Beta Blocker and he wanted to put me on another one. Why do doctors think they have to fix something that isn't broken? I have now come to believe what everyone is saying---they make money from the drug companies.

Any how, I feel awful, very sore and I did get my H1N1 injection and it is so sore and a huge bruise and a hematoma at the injection site.

I think I need to do some research about this stint thing. They told my dad the same thing and it wasn't good news, so I am now scared.

I wish you all a very Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. I will be alone and just resting.

I have so much to be thankful for. Friends who care, A God who loves me for who I am. A roof over my head (at least for now), my Faith and even my health, such as it is. It could be worse, so for that I am thankful.

 Love, Hugs, and Many Blessings, Pat
