My First Week of May

hi guys it's carol how are you i'm okay uh it's been a week i realized i have not put up a video for an entire week since i told you i hit a thousand uh it's just life i've just had life this week nothing major i've had asthma a lot this week and i can't breathe and the black cat clouded depression i was feeling so good it landed on me again for most of the week and uh the weather's been up and down and uh my arthritis just is killing me this one leg hurts from my hip to my ankle and i just can't sleep although that's minor to what most people pain most people have i mean i have nothing to complain about but i'm just being wimpy i guess it's just been a week uh my thank you everybody for being concerned over my grandson rhett's just fine i was so afraid that either his fingers would be broken or chopped off when that door shut completely shut on them and we can't figure out why not except the weather stripping is new and it's real soft and cushy and i assume that the weatherstripping gave enough that saved his fingers that i mean they're just bruised it hurt horrible blessed his heart i knew it hurt horrible but after a while when he got through crying and just being so distraught over his fingers he looked at him he said i guess there's no point in me going to school this coming week because i won't be able to write [Laughter] we told him um no you're gonna go to school and i have great news yesterday the maintenance man showed up with a brand new dishwasher still in the box for my new subs i moved to this apartment november 2nd it had a brand new dishwasher i mean brand spanking new and a really nice one that had it was all computerized and it was it was a fancy dishwasher i ran it one time and then it never worked again i i went up to the office and found the maintenance man i told him my dishwasher won't come back on i just used it one time he said that's a brand new dishwasher i said i know but all i did was run it one time and now it won't start again he came down here and tried the breakers and everything and he said that is the second brand new dishwasher that has done that run run once never again they're ge in case you wonder what brand they are so that was like november i don't know fourth or fifth i guess i have not had a dishwasher all this time what they told me and i guess it's true is uh i'm kind of i'm not real trusting anymore but anyway they told me they couldn't get a dishwasher because of the pandemic and factories running behind and so for all these months i have not had a dishwasher yesterday he came and brought me another brand new still in the box ge dishwasher this one is not fancy it's just got the regular dial that turns and stuff i don't care if it works that's wonderful he installed it turned it on to make sure it's going to work water just went everywhere the seals don't work or something i don't know what but it water went everywhere he said well it's under warranty because it's brand new so we'll get you another dishwasher i wonder if it'll be another six months but uh my sister said maybe it's just a connection problem i don't know with if it's the dishwasher's off now and there's no water coming out so i don't i don't know anything about plumbing or dishwashers or anything but yeah got a brand new dishwasher yesterday second one in this apartment that has not worked right out of the box so i'll stick a picture of it in here at least i've got one sitting in there i always had the old one in there i'm you know they didn't take it out and just leave the hole there um just couldn't use it we are getting rain i'm going to stick in a picture here the rain it's coming down it sort of looks like tornado clouds but no it's just where the rain is coming down so hard when it's seldom rains here so when we get rain it's an event you know everybody goes out and smells the rain and watches it come down and stands in the rain drops uh oh it smells lovely it smells lovely and a very sweet friend paid for my flowers for my patio and i just wanted one of everything i didn't get one of everything i really didn't but i got a lot and i put them all out here where i sit right here my patio door is right there and it's all glass and so i can see out on my patio and i've got them all where i can see them if i'm inside or if i'm out sitting out on the patio my granddaughter was here and we she helped me fix them we arranged them like we thought looked good casey came home of course she sees it driving up and she parks right in front of it she said that just looks junky so we got to redo it but since it started raining casey was here when she saw it start to rain and we had a lot of thunder and lightning we ran out there and pulled them up against the apartment where they're not going to get flooded because typically that's how it is here if we get rain it's like a flood we get a lot at one time or we don't get any and may is one of our uh rainy months may and august we just if we're going to get rain it's those two months so anyway it makes it harder for me to breathe the heavy rain uh the heavy air in the rain but i'm okay um i'm trying to think what else it was i was going to tell you uh oh casey and i celebrated mother's day casey doesn't have kids but she has andy her beagle about twice a year about once a year we go up the street is a a really nice mexican restaurant that has really good food about once a year she goes up there and we get takeout there the restaurant itself just opened not too long ago for indoor seating so and they didn't have a drug up but they've made an arrangement where you uh you could pull up to a curb and they'll bring it out to you so we got mexican food you and typically once a year she will go up to golden cr not golden corral oh no i will never eat a golden corral again after the last time my sister went you know it's an open buffet thing all you can eat buffet uh they have a chocolate fountain and you know the chocolate bubbles out the top and goes back down and recirculates some kids were sticking their hands in the chocolate you know and then it was running through their hands down into the pool and back up again i i will never eat in another buffet buffet after 2020 but anyway no it's a texas roadhouse that's where casey will go about once a year and get us a steak and baked potato i like sirloin extra well done uh one time i'm the one that went in and picked it up and they said did you order shoe leather yeah that's mine um we don't we don't i never go out and to eat in a restaurant i have it in a dozen years probably because of some health issues um but at least twice a year we do that we get mexican food and and get a steak but anyway we decided to celebrate mother's day and we got mexican food so i'm gonna stick it in here now in the video i tell you i have a cheese tamale uh chicken no no no no no i tell you i have a red inch beef enchilada a red chicken enchilada and a red cheese enchilada and i did not casey and i sat here with the menu on our phones debating over and over and over what we were going to get i always get a chili rianno um the chili rihanna plate comes with two chili rianos and rice and beans and a salad and chips and dip and but this time i thought i might get something else yeah try something else she was gonna try something new she tried this stuff i forgot what they called it but it was rice with uh yellow squash and zucchini and sirloin tips and something else i don't know in some kind of sauce it's the sauce it said in the menu with an asian flair it was really good she let me have a bite but anyway i ended up ordering a combination plate that had a chili riianno a beef enchilada and a tamale but you know once you cover it with red sauce they all kind of look the same i forgot what i ordered until i took a bite and that was tamale the reason we did that is because um i'm from new mexico i live in texas but i'm from new mexico and i get emails from different uh things from new mexico and that day that was not yesterday it was the day before i guess um it actually was on cinco de mayo i personally don't celebrate cinco de mayo casey doesn't uh it's a big advertising thing here i'm i'm thinking maybe it's just advertising um but you know i don't celebrate cinco de mayo i don't celebrate any canadian holidays um i celebrate fourth of july but anyway a cinco de mayo and there's a big hispanic population in in texas and uh uh i guess a lot of people were celebrating it i didn't casey and i didn't even think of it we just i got this uh email from a texas new mexico tourist thing and it showed uh this restaurant in santa fe it was called um tia sophia's tia is aunt tia sofia's in santa fe and they were saying that as far as anyone knows this was the first restaurant back in the early 1970s to ever serve a breakfast burrito and yes i was showing their breakfast burrito and uh then they showed um some red enchiladas and some green enchiladas and then christmas in new mexico you can order christmas and it's a plate with half green and half red enchiladas and that christmas looks so good and so i asked casey would she want to get mexican food and she said yeah we will it it's kind of pricey for us i think it's 11.99 a plate or 12.99 something like that um but we decided we wouldn't if we were we say we're set we'll celebrate mother's day anyway they didn't have a christmas plate um but i looked through all the things on the menu trying to figure out what i wanted and i started to get uh this plate that had the three different kind of enchiladas but i didn't i ended up getting a chili a beef chili rail a beef enchilada and a tamale which i assume was beef maybe beef or pork i don't know but anyway with red sauce it was wonderful it was very very very very good the hot sauce pecan sauce salsa that they give you is really good it's really really hot but it's good and then they give you a paper bag full of hot tortilla chips that they make there that was part of my asthma problem i don't i can't eat yellow corn i eat tortilla chips but i get the white corn and fried foods do not uh my body does not like fried foods but i here i was eating fried yellow corn tortilla chips did not go over well but anyway they're good because they're hot they're a little salty but they're good anyway our whole meal was good casey's was wonderful mine was wonderful i'm gonna stick a picture of it in here and when i'm telling you what it is just know i don't even know what i'm talking about um what else happened this week i can't think of anything uh i didn't do much of anything i slept an awful lot i i'm just tired all the time and i can sleep and sleep and sleep and still wake up more tired than when i went to sleep but i'm feeling pretty good now so i'm gonna get some things done uh next wednesday is spray day where they come in and they inspect your apartment and the spray guy comes with them so i need to see what i need to put away to clean up around here um i'll have my grandkids tomorrow uh their mom has decided that maybe every other saturday they will go to see her mother and she lives in a different town but it's about an hour away which i think is nice they they hardly ever see that grandma and they see me every weekend um at the very least they always come on saturday and spend the night and go home sunday around lunchtime have all their life um and they hardly ever have gone to that grandmas except for usually they go for a week in the summer so i'm tickled to death actually that they're gonna go every other weekend this is their weekend to go to her house they're not going but um they're going to be with me during the day and then i then they're going to go home so they can be with their mom from mother's day it's my son and his wife and they live here um other than that on sunday both my daughters will be with me i'll see my son i won't see my son from seattle but it's okay uh i'm going to have casey's going to make lasagna on sunday that's one of my favorite things and blueberry muffins for breakfast and i just did a grocery order and i ordered something i'd never seen before it's it's pillsbury crescent rolls but it comes with a tube of cherry pie filling and a tube of icing to drizzle on top so i'm going to get that we're going to have blueberry muffins and those things i love blueberry muffins we don't know if we're going to like this but we're going to try those crescent roll things and my daughter other daughter's going to come have breakfast with us [Music] casey's been horribly busy this week she's she stocks greeting cards at walmart's she works for the card company not for walmart and mother's day is like their big holiday so she's worked a lot of hours this week and saturday she'll have to work saturday morning come home and then go back in the evening to just to straighten them up because um as the holiday approaches they get a horrible mess and then she'll have to go work sunday morning and get them straightened again for those people that go get a card late uh and otherwise it's just me and the dogs just hanging out chilling but i thought i'd better make a video and stop in and say hi i'm still here thank you for being here with me uh i apologize i have i really have had a week i haven't even answered most comments i have not even i've read them but i've not answered them i've watched very few videos i i have a whole list of people that i watch their videos i've watched very few videos this week so i'm just way behind on everything but maybe i'll get caught up this weekend i just needed a week off all right don't know anything else i hope you're gonna have a wonderful weekend a wonderful mother's day uh i just bit my nail back you know like that hurt um i i'm having brain fog this morning i got the milk out to put on my oatmeal and poured it in my glass of hibiscus tea i don't drink milk at all and certainly not in my hibiscus tea i've just been doing things like that all weekend long um anyway i'm gonna go now i'm fine i hope you're fine i will talk to you
