from the start.

2009-01-26 10:01 p.m.

Nothing going on.

Yes, we are fine. We are just living quiet and taking it easy. Terry is still mending but for the most part he is back to normal except the oxygen, but he is cooking and helping with laundry.

We are becoming Chinese cowboys. Bet you don't know what that means, do you? You know why I know that? Because I just made it up.

Picture this. the date is January 26, 2009 on an approximately 14' X 15' livingroom hardwood floor in Westerly, Rhode Island. In the very middle of the floor is an X created by clear thin tubing. At the top left of the X is a spare foom with one oxygen concentrator. At the top right is the bathroom with another concentrator.

The tubes come out, criss-cross in the middle of the floor and then the tube from the top left goes to the bottom
right where Terry sits and the Top right goes to the Bottom left where I sit.

The cowboy part comes whenever we move to the opposite room and return, it leaves a tangle of tubing in the middle and we have to spend a few moments pulling it in and loop it around our hand. All I can think of is the way a cowboy pulls in the lasso after trying to rope a steer.

The Chinese comes in when the tubes are lying side by side. Lori said that if we babysit and the girls get bored, they can always play Chinese jump rope.

When the tubs aren't pulled in and I have to make a dash to the batroom, it's like basic training when we had to run through the line of tires putting one foot in each tire, only instead of timres it is loops of the damn tubing. Ya, Terry should get me on my camcorder. That would be good for a laugh. Especially when I get tankled and almost take a header. It's almost as funny as when he rools over onto his tube and it almost pulls his face off. Haha, fun times. It doesn't take much to amuse us.

I broke down and spent some money this week. I am sick and tired of buying coffee pots. The timer goes, or it leaks, or the pot breaks or any number of things. I made a purchase that could very well be the last coffee pot I ever have to buy.

I bought a commercial bunn coffee maker. It has two burners and is identical to the one we had at work. It is used but in excellant condition. They go for about $250.00 new. I got this for $85.00. I also sprang for two new coffee pots. They are Bunn also. Stainless steel on the bottom and plastic on the top so they are virtually breakproof. And to top it all off, for $7.95 I bought a permenant goldtone filter. I should be set for life. I am a happy camper.

What else do I have for news? I got nuttin. Oh. I don't know if I mentioned this, but I will again. Remember me telling you all about that long 200 foot driveway that I had to pay to have plowed? Well, I wrote a letter to our illustrious housing athority's board of commissioners and as of the last storm, they are picking up the tab. This helps. We have had them plow 5 times already this winter.

I wouldn't be complaining too much but I heat with gas. Now that I have my concentrator, my light bill is $218.00 a month. That doesn't include the one Terry has now. Between the light bill and our prescriptions, you can bet your ass I am going to at least have a good cup of coffee when I want one.

As I said, it doesn't take much to amuse us. It doesn't take much to make us happy either.

Speaking of what makes me happy, have any of you tried the new Dominos sandwiches yet? I am addicted to the Chicken, bacon, ranch. They are so good they should be outlawed. Only 4.99! They have philly steak and cheese that Terry loves, chicken parmisan and and italian one with pepperoni, ham, salami and cheese. I haven't tried those.

Well, that's all I have for tonight. Maybe something exciting will happen tomorrow, but it's fine with me if it doesn't. Quiet works for me.

Later,
Cosmic
