Well last night's supper was the first actual meal
I have eaten without getting sick or an upset stomach
from since early Saturday, 3 days ago. For some
reason yesterday I couldn't sleep. I tried to lay
down and take a nap and ended up getting back up.
So you would have thought I'd of been ready for
bed later on that evening. I had a hard time
getting to sleep and didn't actually fall
asleep til about 2am!

I got to thinking about people who have a fear
of shots when I realized how many times
I have been poked in about 4 days.
5 shots for my toe, 1 IV needle,
1 needle to withdraw blood for blood work,
and another poke for checking my glucose
(blood sugar level).
That's 8 freaking times!

My biggest battle I'm dealing with at the moment
is allot of chest congestion and coughing.
I have been taking mucinex. While
that stuff is usually great, it is not working this
time around. So at the moment I'm trying to read
some home remedies because I'm ready
to try anything.
I already have a vaporizer running with
spearmint oils in it.
Another better natural oil you can use is eucalyptus.
Which I am currently looking into some
on Ebay so I can put drops into our vaporizers.

My honey called me today from work.
He's been in and out of the one apartment
where I said they vacated and didn't take much
of anything. Anyway he said today that he noticed
that there was still a closet full of women's clothes
and wanted to know if I wanted him to bring them
home for me. I said sure. And if they don't fit or
I don't like them I can always find someone to give
them to or donate them. I really need to go through
some of my own clothes and get rid of some
and replace others.
He also found a new wedding dress new,
still packaged in a box
and another dress with a $200 price tag on it.
I said bring them home and we can sell them
on Craigslist!
He says he has to start trashing the unit
so I'll see if we can go over this evening
with a flashlight and check it out
since there still is no electric in there.

We can never figure out how people can just move
and leave pretty much everything behind.
This isn't the first nor the last time we
will see this.

--------------------------

Tonight for supper I might fry up some
Italian sausage ($1.30)
1/2 head cabbage (.50 cents)
& some sliced potatoes ($1.00)

TOTAL $2.80
don't know serving amount yet.

-----------------------------------------



Now researching a green Coca-Cola bottle.

6 oz. U.S. Patient Office min contents 6 fl oz.
on bottle below Coca-Cola
... Issued 1951-1958
marked Columbus, OH on bottom.

It's possibly from 1954
since I see what looks like a 5&4 around the skirt of the bottle.

So this bottle predates the opening of the dam.
I cannot find information (without actually going to the dam itself and reading the history sign) about when work was started
on the dam and how long it took to make.



---------------------------------------

Had a change of plans for supper.
Instead we are having breaded shrimp
(was $7.99 marked down to $2.99)
Cocktail Sauce
(marked down to .69 cents)
Bag of tater tots
($2.05)

TOTAL COST FOR SUPPER
$5.73
serves 5 @ $1.14 a serving

---------------------------------

This evening Tony got off work a lil early
so we were able to go to the vacated
apartment and check it out while daylight,
but had to hurry as light was getting dim in there.
Did get some stuff loaded in the truck tonight
and will try to go through it tomorrow
and show y'all.
And there was other stuff I had picked out
and set aside in the apartment and told
Tony to bring it home after work.

There was a ton of high dollar clothes in the closets
and in totes, some with tags.
If I had the space I would have brought them
home and tried to sell them on Craigslist.
The only clothing items I got was a couple
t-shirts for the boys, a jacket, a wedding dress
and another dress with tags on it for $200+.
Want to try to sell those dresses on Craigslist.

Jonathan started finding purses in the back of the closet
and I saw a CC purse. Don't know if it's real or not
so will have to give it a thorough look over.
But anyway after finding this purse I threw
any other purses into a tote and Tony
will be bringing them home tomorrow
for me to look over.
I'm not a high fashion person at all but do
know some of these purses are designer
purses and could be worth allot!!!
Don't believe me check out Ebay for CC purses.
But you gotta watch out for fake replicas of them.

I don't know what all else I got
but I'm sure I'll post it when I get through it.

Right now it's 7:00pm.
Had to also stop by Kroger for a prescription
and I had wanted a can of corned beef.
I cannot find it anywhere. You would
think it would be with other canned meat like
spam & tuna, NOT.
And to ask an employee is like asking
a wall. They have no clue what you are
talking about and keep trying to show
me the can of corned beef hash, ahhhh!

After Kroger we stopped by the car lot.
Which now has different hours posted
on the door and now closes at 6 instead of 7.

Tomorrow is it. Tony says he's going over
there on lunch and picking up the car, fixed or not.
They can give us the part whenever they
get it shipped in! Tomorrow will make
10 days they've had it!

Well, still feeling crappy.
Might take a shower here soon to try
to help the congestion
and take another mucinex.
Then off to bed to watch my show
Ghost Hunters at 9pm.
My head is feeling like it's in a vice
grip. The last couple of days been having
headaches probably due to sinuses.


Tomorrow I think I'll take mom with
me to the grocery store to help me find
some corned beef.
Then tomorrow night will make the fried
cabbage, potatoes & sausage
and the next day will use remaining
cabbage to make cabbage cups
filled with corned beef hash
topped with shredded cheese.

---------------------------------------------------

8:30PM

We unloaded the stuff from the truck
tonight from the apartment.

.
.

That CC purse is REAL!!!
OH MY GOSH!!
It is BRAND NEW!!
With all tags, storage bag AND
authenticity card!!
Wanna know the best part,
I found an identical one on Ebay.
Mine is just like this except that the
one corner is white instead of black.
I'll let you take a look see to see how
much this purse is going for used!!

or
here is another one at a larger price
and it is used also!!

Suddenly feeling light headed, literally!!

I showed the auction to Tony
and he yells to me,
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
LOL!!

Also Tony said he saw a new pair
of shoes with tags and receipt from DSW
or whatever shoe place it is.
Wonder if we could take them back, lol,
and get the $30 for them???
Bought in April of this year.

I LOVE TRASH PICKING!!!

Whelp, I've done crapped my pants!
Need to go change my britches.

Nighty night!

---------------------------------------

******KENDRA*****

We weren't going to get all the clothes
from the apartment but Tony just asked
if you would want them all he would
bag them all up.
They all are around a size small. Too small for me.
There are TONS!
Let me know ASAP because he will be in the
apartment tomorrow trashing it out!
