I was just watching the news and I do believe it’s about time to pull out the darn old jacket.  It’s supposed to be in the upper 40’s in the morning.  That’s getting just a little past chilly if you ask me.  It’s just before down right cold in all reality.  Oh well, what are we to expect with it being October after all?

October is followed by November and that means that Christmas will be here before you know it.  I better quit thinking about it before I get the desire to ‘go shopping’!!!

I had been feeling just a bit off lately so I went to my doctor.  Come to find out, my blood pressure is up just a bit.  He put me on medication and recommended I get a good blood pressure monitor so I could keep track of it for the next month.  He said that way, he could tell if I needed to take more or less medication because he didn’t want me to have too little or too much.  Neither one wasn’t good.

So I found a blood pressure monitor that is not only pretty darn accurate but also one I can use easily.  I now check my blood pressure in the mornings and after work, keep a record and hopefully everything will be back to normal before you know it.

I am so darn mad at myself.  Of all the darn things, yesterday I backed right into a telephone pole at the telephone company to make matters worse.  Like they aren’t supposed to have telephone poles at the telephone company.  Well not in the middle of the tiny little parking lot anyway.  Now I’m looking for yorba linda collision repair so I can get an estimate on the damage.  I can get a rough estimate right online and make an appointment too. 

I just wonder if I could get that darn telephone pole cut down?  Why in the world would they have a stupid pole in the middle of their parking lot anyway.  Maybe they got something going on with the insurance company???  It’s possible but I doubt it.  It’s not like they just put it there either.  It’s been right there for as long as I can remember it.  I just wish I would have remembered it yesterday too.

My neighbors kids are spoiled absolutely rotten.  They just got one of the neatest wooden swing sets I have ever seen.  Really the kids are great kids and I didn’t mean to imply they weren’t good kids.  If my kids were still small, I would have loved to have gotten them a swing set like the one the neighbors got too.

Well I do have grand babies that visit so I still might check into getting one for my yard after all.  There’s nothing I like better than hearing children laughing.  That’s the sweetest sound there is.

Did you hear about the pig in Australia that was holding a woman captive in her home for 10 days?  She had an outhouse (an outside bathroom for those of you who don’t know what that is) and couldn’t even go out to the bathroom without this 176 pound pig attacking her.  The 63 year old woman is an animal lover and said the pig they called ‘Bruce’ kept head butting her bedroom door demanding to be fed.

Okay, I love animals too.  I especially love pork Bar-b-que and bacon.  No animal is going to keep me held hostage in my home.  Not even an animal I raised and loved.  I’m sorry but it would have been taken care of one way or another.  It wasn’t even her pig.  It wandered on to her property 11 days earlier.  The animal was finally captured and taken to a piggery where he will do a stint as a stud.  I still think the woman should have at least gotten some bacon for her misery.
