Grudda Boogie

Sat. nite

May you walk with the Lord today!

Hello everyone,

It's been awhile since I blogged, guess my life is pretty slow!  I've been trying to straighten up my apartment.  It was pretty good until tonight as I had spent the last 2 nights with a friend, and when I got home from church, everything just got set down with a path to get to the bedroom and bathroom.

Yesterday we had a beautiful snowfall.  It started with the huge flakes then alternated with smaller dry flurries.  I guess there were a few accidents on the roads around here.  I don't like driving when the roads are bad, and the worrier in me wants to forbid my kids from driving in it too!  They are in their thirties, and I still have to stop myself from calling and insisting they stay home.

I thought I had picked out the colors I wanted to paint in my apartment, but I keep changing my mind.  I want to wait until I can open windows before I start, and it gives me too much time to think.  Speaking of my apartment, there has been some things stolen around the building, and somehow, there has been some mild vandalism in the rec room.  So, they are locking the rec room at night, and will be installing security cameras around the building.  It's a security building, but I think some tenants let people in that shouldn't be in here.  It's nothing terrible, but management wants to curtail things so they don't get any worse.  Next week we're having a chili supper for the building.  One of the guys is doing the chili, and I'm making cornbread.  A simple supper, but a good one for these chilly winter evenings.

I'm trying to work with my newly diagnosed diabetes.  I'm doing pretty good, but everyonce in awhile, my blood sugar does weird things.  Tonight I fell asleep and didn't eat when I should have, and when I got supper started, I took a reading and it was high and I hadn't eaten anyting for about 7 hours!  Oh well.  It might have something to do with the fact I've had a headache most of the day which is unusual for me, so maybe I'm coming down with something.  When I did eat, it didn't set too well with me.

Does anyone know anything about painting over old formica counters?  I've heard there is something that will work,  but I'm not sure what it was.  I have very old fashioned yellow counters with a horrible avocado green linoleum in the small galley kitchen I have.  The longer I live with it, the more I think up ways to fix it up some!  I do have the landlords' ok to do my painting, and they will go for pretty much anything that upgrades it.  I'm pretty good friends with the manager, so that helps.

Guess that's all I know for now.  My cat and I are heading for the bedroom!  I'm going to watch a movie, and will probably fall asleep and have to watch it again tomorrow.

Have a great evening,

Mary
