Updates...A Little Of This and A Little Of That...

Its drizzling today... October always dials down the temperature.  By Halloween it will be very chilly here and will spin us into our winter season.

I am tidying up my desk, AGAIN...getting the last minute details resolved before my sister arrives tomorrow morning. I AM SO EXCITED! My husband and his buddy leave in the afternoon for California.  He has his annual Mexico trip with his good friends and a couple of his sons.  My sister and I will have the house to ourselves and a whole seven days to do whatever we feel like doing, whenever we feel like doing it.  Stay tuned, I will be posting some of our activities...

I have been talking with my daughter Jodee every day and little Jacob continues to be a "good" baby.  He is eating and sleeping every two to three hours. His navel raisin fell off the other day.  Her incision is healing and feeling better and better.  She has been able to get some good sleep and naps, as her boyfriend Jeff cooks her delicious meals and helps so much with the baby.  I am so happy everything is going so well...I miss them so much.

I learned I do not have arthritis of the eye, it is actually called Episcleritis, which is inflammation in the outer part of the white of the eye.  My doctor compared it to arthritis of the eye, in that it involves inflammation.  She suggested artificial tear eye drops, green leafy vegetables, fish oil and to let her know if I have any further problems.

My kink in my neck is a lot better...still a little stiff, but way better...at least I can turn my head now...pretty tricky driving home from California and not being able to look over my shoulder...

Since Izzy returned from boarding, she no longer hides under my bed when it is time to get in her crate.  She just goes right in without a fuss.

Last night my husband and I went to see WALL STREET.  We planned on going on his birthday, but we were both too tired. I may have to see it again, because I am "investment challenged" with all that Wall Street Talk, but the acting by Carrie Mulligan and Shia La Beouf really stood out.  Frank Langella always delivers and it was nice to see Susan Sarandon again.  Haven't seen her in any movies in awhile.  Michael Douglas as always was a toned down Gordon Greko.  The scenes with his daughter (Mulligan) were very touching.

I feel so bad for Michael Douglas, having stage four throat cancer.  He looks so gaunt in recent pictures and is under going chemo.  I have always been a fan of the Douglas men.  I was a huge Kirk Douglas fan, especially in SPARTACUS, THE VIKINGS, TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and LUST FOR LIFE. 

His Father fought with a vengeance after his stroke, so lets hope Michael can beat throat cancer...
