Today is the day

Well, I can't say I'm not nervous about having a thin tube put in my groin, into my heart, then some dye, so the Cardiologist said it was okay to take an anti anxiety pill.

We have decided to seek an attorney about the house, because I have not done anything to stop the sale of the house and that is usually the reason it is turned over to a judge for auction. In fact, I had 2 good potential buyers, but Brenda would not give us a price to tell them. One of the people who wanted to buy it, lives right next door with their family all together on acres of land. The girl who wants to buy it, was so excited when she saw mom's shop and said the same thing I did, I could finally have a huge craft room. But I will let her know that the house may be up for auction, so they might get it cheaper, if they are prepared ahead of time with the financing.

Well, today will be a long day, laying on my back, which hurts really bad, so not sure if I can handle that. The nurse said they will try and put a pillow behind my back to help take some of the pressure off of it. I will have Al come in and let y'all know how things went---3 possibilities that I have signed agreements for already----no stint needed, stint needed if over 75% blockage, or open heart surgery. Please keep me in your prayers today.

I will be at my 400Th post before the end of November, so while I am laying down, I will think of something great to send and add some goodies for a great giveaway. The one I did for my Birthday was such fun making, so this one will be a mixture of things for Christmas. Love and Hugs, Pat

I need to take a break

I got some really bad news today and needless to say, my so called sister is not the person I thought her to be. She has threatened to report me to Disability, because she doesn't believe that I don't want to live with Al anymore. I am so messed up right now and all I did was cry after reading the email she sent to Al. I need prayers so badly. I am also going to lose what little I was going to get from my inheritance because she is having the judge sell it at auction and she will get most of the money, just as we thought from the beginning. Her business is failing and also her husband's isn't doing too good according to Al.
I needed my granddaughter to come and stay with me for a day after my angiogram, but my son said he was sorry, but he was afraid to allow them to come with all the assaults that were against me and while I don't blame him, it hurts very much. I have not seen them in so long and I miss them.
I will come back and let you know how my angiogram went and if they had to put stints or worse, open heart surgery. I consider myself a strong person, but right now, I am so weak and have just my children as family. I know that I lay too much out there in blog land and have lost many visitors and I do understand. Who wants to hear all that negativity. I was so happy for the last weeks and then this.

Also my 1st cousin died in Florida at the age of 50. They won't know anything until the autopsy. She had breast cancer and she was in great pain and the county they live in, no doctor gives pain medication, so they drove to the next county. She fell asleep and the driver got tired, so they pulled over and in the morning when they woke up, they could not wake her. She had died during the night. She was my aunt's youngest and we are all taking it very hard. She too will be cremated. So Please keep my aunt and her children in your prayers.

I have to pack and I just don't know where I will go from here, so I need the week to try and pack as much as I can and store it at Al's. If he can find an apt he can afford, he will let me live in his house, so please pray for that to be possible.
I love all of you for being patient with me and I will try to be a better blogger. In fact, I am very close to my 400Th post, so I hope that I can get a good giveaway together for all of you. Love, Hugs, and Many Blessings. Also Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I will be alone and may just stay in bed and thank God for all my blessings.

Some really Great bargains

This is part of the things that I got at my friends garage sale. Just the Stampin Up Ink pad holder with over 40 pads still full of ink were the best bargain I got. I didn't even look for a price tag, but guess what, the entire thing cost me-----ready----$15.00. 3 blocks of DWAV paper was more, but I know what they cost and that had not been opened. Dorothy Plate-$.75. Unused stamp cleaner was given to me by my friend and the other little embellishment holder is from Stampin Up. I also bought rubber stamps sets that had not been used for $1., some wheels with the ink that I didn't have and as I look back, I regret not getting more stamp sets that I didn't have. The Candle holder was $2.00 and I got pink candles for it and it's going to have lots of frufru hanging from it--glass teardrops, etc. The last time I went to a garage sale like this was in Metairie in the next block from my niece and it was almost all Stampin Up.

If I had a car, I would be in serious trouble. I miss garage sales. When I could walk 5 miles every day, I would walk to them and if I found something really heavy, they would just keep it until I could pick it up in the afternoon. Living in the country has it good sides, but too many bad sides.
Well speaking of walking, I'm going outside for my 20 minute walk.
If you don't hear from me in over a week, it's because I am having an angiogram done and have been pre-admitted already. I am a little scared, but have been doing a lot of praying. Haven't told my children yet, but will do that tonight. Please keep me in your prayers. I will have to stay in bed for 24 hours, no driving for a couple of days---now I don't know how to stay still, especially for 24 hours. I hope reading is okay-lol. I have to find someone to come and stay with me the 1st 24 hours and that is hard, since my siblings said I am no longer part of their family. Well life goes on and I will survive without them.

Thrift finds

I fell in love with these cuties and might

put them up for sale after I find the

perfect eyes for the cat.

These are not old, but I can use them on

my journals for some pazzaz!

After removing 5 coats of paint, I still

need to do some hand sanding and

new drawers. I have the fronts already

to prime and paint, white. I think I

have a before picture so will post them

again when I finish painting this piece.

This is just a cheap little nightstand

that I got for $3.99 and it had

the brightest turquoise paint on it.

Sad Day in our family

My aunt called me yesterday to let me know that my cousin's wife had succumbed to her brain cancer after 6months. I know Freddie is heartbroken and my heart hurts for him. His wife Chris was a wonderful woman who enjoyed life, family, and crafts. I know she is at peace now, because she did suffer from terrible seizures and headaches. The tumor was inoperable, so it was just a matter of time. It was Chris's wishes to be cremated, so a memorial will be held at a later date, so we can all attend. I lived with my aunt and Freddie could get away with anything with me. Please keep them all in your prayers, because Freddie is really going to need them. Chris was so much a part of his life and I know he will have a very hard time. His mom has gone to Texas to be with them. Thank you all in advance for your wonderful prayers that I know you will say. Love and Hugs, Pat
