Life is just a bowl of cheerios!
Crunchy, sweet and healthy for me!

It's also busy, training a puppy, buttering up the cat to fend off her
tendency to be jealous, and enjoying the company of youngest child.

Easter wasn't all I had hoped it would be,........no card from daughter, and no card from either sister. I last called them, and emailed them...so the ball is in their court now. Se La vie. My son didn't show up on time for our Easter dinner, and then didn't bring the potatoes as he'd promised, and didn't want to eat.
What the hell?

Some Easter huh?

Oh well, my cat loves me.

I found a reeallly nice ottoman by the dumpster, a chocolate brown and only a slight tear in it. Good quality one it is. Great for the light brown chair I bought a month ago.

I've nursed my son's Spider plant back to good health, it's growing now and very green.
The palms, once yet again, have taken a beating. This time the puppy got ahold of them. I'd used banana peel to nourish them and Coco found them quite tasty!
This pooch LOVES fruit and vegetables! Just like me!! How great is that?

The lady that cleans here offered me a dining table as she'd heard I didn't have one. OH it is to die for! Real wood, solid, and it opens up with a leaf for more room if needed. A dark finish on it, old looking legs. Sooooooooooo much better than the glass-topped table I gave away. I just need a couple of chairs now.

I wasn't sure which road my new home was going to take, in regards to decorating, however it's all coming together. A shame I gave away my huge entertainment center, with it's glass doors and side storage...however I still have the little one, an oak one. It works I guess..I gave my son the two media towers I'd bought, and then got a tall bookcase for my DVD's. Then I realized I had no place for my few books! So I got another book case, and it's perfect for the black lamp I bought!
This black lamp is awwesome! It looks like something out of the 30's or 40'
s glamor mvies.

Having these nice "things" is all fine and dandy, however it doesn't help with missing my sisters and daughter.....maybe i need to take a friend's advice from long ago and start to do volunteer work again.....maybe, I'll see.

My health continues down the path to the end. I suspect for all of us it does, just differentlly....our paths I mean. We're all on the same road, just different paths....

I'm going to try to gett myself a tricycle, with a basket. I'd love to get out and ride that with Coco. I doubt that Chanel would put up with it.....say a prayer if you would? I'd love to be able to get out more and this would be the way to do it!!!

There's some really strange people living here! The last place I lived had great residents, some nosy ones, however almost all of them were nice. Here, just strange.....
A guy on one side of me talks and yells, to himself. Very very loudly. And the guy across the hall lives with his boyfriend, who, just happens to have his mother living down a different hall here! Her and the dad of the first guy come in and clean their apt. for them!
Yikes.
And then there's the lady that's too sick to live here, had her apt. in unfit living conditions with feces from multiple cats all over. Her family and also some county people came in and fixed it and now she goes back and forth between her apt and her assisted living place.....jeepers....
One guy has been flirting with me, howwever... he wears the same bibs continually, doesn't get haircuts, and is toothless. If he'd only wash up and change clothes I could possibly be interested, however uncleanliness turns me off faster than you can say "OH". ....
I have no problems with one's weight, size, hair amounts, religion, culture. I just can't abide cruelty, head games, judgemental attitudes, nor dirt.

One guy just moved out of here, he's close to death. He moved out having bought a house, and had his girlfriend move in with him. He's my age, and his gf is over 20 years youner, has the mental capacity of a 4 year old, and they get off on her acting tough and him submitting.....OMG...

I guess not having a bf is the end of the world, I just wish there was one special man to hold me and be with me sometimes.......

Oh wwell, like I saw on a coffee mug I want to get ( shows a cowgirl on her horse with her dog tagging along )
" I got my horse and dog, what do I want with a man?!!"

and so it goes, anotherr blue Monday down the drain, and what I have accomplished? Well other than housework, I guess I've only been here for my puppy. Maybe that's a lot in this world.....
