My Yesterdays

If I only lived in NC I see that they have a very good health insurance in nc something they really do need here in Illinois. I do not qualify for any type of health insurance in this state or in Iowa. We live with no insurance and really hate to go the the doctors because we can't afford it. The hospital is so out of the question that we don't go there either unless we are dying really hubby got so sick and I kept say lets just go we really need to get you there .. it got to the point he could not breath. So finally he was so bad he said lets go well guess what he ended up in the hospital for a week he was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure , and kidney failure. We got yelled at for taking so long to get him there but we said we have no insurance they said that should not make a difference whats more important a persons life or insurance. Cost of one week stay at the hospital 23,000 dollars now you tell me I know he had to go but really how can anyone afford that type of payment, thats the cost of a new car. I mean really?

Well tomorrow I get to make my cute ladybug cupcakes I'm so excited I have everything ready and all I have to do is just bake the cupcakes make the frosting and then decorate. I will take a picture of them when I get them done and post them on here. Later..

I need to get the word out about my cakes , I have been in the process of making up fliers so I can get my name out there also I need to utilize these promotional products so I can pass them out was thinking of getting the pens because as you all know everyone uses pens. There is a couple of other things I want to order also . I just got done making a football cake which I'm going to add to the brochure I'm making to pass out. It was a fun cake to make but was really stressed about if my Landlord yes I said landlord would like it. She liked it so much she gave me a tip also. Wow I'm excited about that she also complimented me on how spotless I kept her rental property wow that was a big plus to. I get to make cupcakes for a friend of hers tomorrow they are Ladybug cupcakes I can't wait till I get them done and in her hands always makes me nervous about them things lol..

I was up at the hospital today with my Mother in Law.. she had to have a angiogram and they found 99% blockage in one valve which they put a stint in and they also found a 75% blockage in another valve which they didn't because they want to wait another three weeks because the dye they use is just to hard on her kidneys so she has to wait but she is doing fine and is now sitting up in her bed they are keeping her overnight to make sure she is doing ok . She gets to come home tomorrow and hopefully she gets some rest. Later..

I think it should be mandatory in all homes where there is children and adults, whether they be old or young to have a lead test kit to make sure that there is no lead in the place were we live. So much can go wrong with paint with lead in it. I have been in places were I lived were they had to test the paint chips that was falling off the walls because were I live there is a lot of humidity and if you don't have the right paint on your walls it will chip and just peel off . You now can have chips tested before you move in and if it has lead in it they will have to scrape and put a primer and then repaint your place. I lived in one of them places along time ago and back then they didn't know about the lead it was many years ago when my children was very young , I'm so lucky that my children didn't end up with lead poisoning .

I wanted to tell you about the rest of her place its so beautiful , It has two bathrooms and two bedrooms, nice size dinning room and frontroom. Now let me tell you about her bedroom with a private bathroom in it the shower in it is beautiful it has a sit down shower in it. Her bedroom is just so big and has a beautiful walk in closet my dream bedroom. Her sons room is a pretty good size also and has a big closet to. The front room is a really good size also with a nice sliding glass door its big enough for a couch and love seat another chair , coffee table and her desk and the TV with stand , Oh her dinning room has a nice size table in it with her freezer and now since we have been there she had added a water cooler oh and she has a book shelf for her son's school work in it. Well I guess I will post more on her place on another post. Later..

Oh I have to tell you about Christy's Apt or condo as they call them out there in AZ it was just beautiful , my favorite part was the kitchen she had a Kohler kitchen faucet with the pull out sprayer . I loved it and would love to have one in my kitchen. I also loved her stove it was electric but with the flat stove black top beautiful her laundry room was right off of the kitchen washer and dryer on opposite sides and cupboards above each appliance. She also had a dish washer I so want one of them , seems she and my other daughter that has one never use them I don't know why they get your dishes so clean and sanitize them. I would so use one if I had one because I would never have to see another sink full of dirty dishes again lol.

We got back to Christy's house and then went to lunch at "On the Border" its a Mexican restaurant and the food was good there I loved the Guacamole dip. which we had to bring home to christys house because there was so much left . Christy's boyfriend was at work at the time. So we went to Michaels love that place and then came back home. I think we went swimming when we got back and then later we went to the best Chinese place I have ever been to. PF Changs yummy was so so good cant wait to go again. Then we came home back to christys and setup for bed we stayed the rest of the time there at her house was great they wanted to give us her and mikes bed but we said no and slept on a blow up queen size bed on the floor very comfortable. The reason we didnt want to take her bed was because Mike had to go to work the next day and he needed his sleep. More on Day 5 later.

My next trip is going to be on a cruse ship thinking of going to be on a Royal Caribbean ship. Yep going in style they have Casino's and all the luxury in the world. I'm hoping that my hubby will go because he is not to fond of water but being on a big cruse ship like that I don't think it will be a problem. Just think no driving and having all your meals served to you and not having to worry about anything. I am so hoping that we can go on vacation very soon but this time not drive , I'm tired of driving even though I didn't drive at all guess just tired of sitting in a car.

We on the third day headed into AZ , I forgot to mention that we stayed the second night in New Mexico. So we headed onto AZ to see Christy we made it there around 3 I think , the dogs was tired even though they slept all the way and we was tired. There is something about traveling that makes you tired. I do say I was more comfortable taking the dogs as not to worry about them but , I think the next time we go on vacation that I will find a sitter for them. It was just to hard to worry about them so much as we could not stop and go in and eat a decent meal. Well we got into Glendale were Christy lives and went out to dinner or lunch or whatever you want to call it lol.. We went to the Heart Attack Grill very good service and very good food but so so bad for you but it was good. We also went to Ikea after that and then headed back to Christy's its was great that we could leave the dogs at her house while we was gone. Again thank you Christy. Later that evening we went to a motel for the night because we really didn't think it through were we was going to stay lol.. I didn't care for the hotel but it was all good. The next morning we went back to Christy's house. Will post more later..
