Just Atticus

Just pictures of my silly cat.

Today is Halloween. We met John and Noreen for lunch then we went to Bob's Discount Furniture and ordered a chair for me. I am glad to be getting it because it is hard for me to get in and out of my old chair. I have had knee problems--saw the knee doctor last week and started PT today. My PT guy (Brett) says he believes this is a muscular problem and should be easy to fix.I hope he is right--I don't want to face another surgery!

Mike is handling most of the Trick-or-Treaters because going up and down stairs is hard for me. 

I forgot a few things

I thought I'd written about some lately  news but I guess I didn't.

Michael turned 36 on October 11th. We went to dinner at Catfish Annie's, our favorite seafood restaurant, and I also made him Western Hospitality Casserole (by request) on Saturday. Megan joined us for the home dinner.

The other big news is that Katherine's friends, Theresa and Rob, got married. It was a beautiful reception and Theresa looked so pretty. Katherine was her maid of honor.

I will blog more pics as I move them from my phone.

Atlantic City

Mike and I joined John and Noreen for a trip to our favorite vacation place. Atlantic City in October is interesting, as there are few or no kids around (all in school) and you don't have to wait too long to get on favorite machines.

I was on a pretty good winning streak on Thursday. I even won a mini jackpot. Just $10 but it was fun. I actually came home with money in  my wallet, which rarely happens.

We had a room with an ocean view:

Me, trying to take a selfie with the ocean behind me.

The sunrise was beautiful.

The only bad thing is that my snoring was keeping Mike awake. I took the cover off the bed and camped out in the bathroom. I wish I could fix this problem.

We were supposed to come home Saturday Morning, but I threw the idea at Mike to just go home Friday evening. We don't do much when we go home in the morning, anyway. And I thought we both needed to be in our own house. We sometimes sleep separately just to get some real shut-eye.

It was just a quick trip, but one we enjoyed and really needed. Mike is almost 100% better but his recent health problems took a toll on him.

As for me, tomorrow I see my primary to make sure my BP meds are working. Then later in the afternoon, I see my knee doctor because now my right knee is hurting. God, I hope I don't need surgery.

Oh, and Julie has another damned ear infection. We drop her off at the vet at 9 a.m. tomorrow. It will be a day of 3 different doctors.
