June 1, 2011-I Went Out Today-Very Humid

I waited till 1:00 then went over to Agway and Walmart. We had a thunderstorm this morning and it was very humid again today. I couldn't wait to get back home. I don't have air in my car. That broke years ago. It was noisy but at least it didn't get worse. I had the maintenance man look under my car this morning. He says I have a hole in the exhaust pipe near the manifold. Right where the clamp is. So I guess it's nothing I can put duct tape on..LOL I had that pipe replaced six years ago. It cost me $89 back then so it's probably double that now days. But I hope not. I'm going to call Monro Muffler tomorrow. I would go to Cole Muffler but for some reason I don't trust them now. After reading online in the Topix forums. Seems a lot of people get told they need Power Steering fluid replaced. That's what they told me last year and I let them do it. So now I'm thinking they ripped me off that 50 bucks.
The day turned out pretty nice and the humidity dispersed by late afternoon. Was a bit breezy today also.
Not sure why I'm not seeing the foxes much in the evenings but I'm thinking that some of the tenants are sitting outside upstairs and scaring the foxes. So they are waiting till after dark. Those darn skunks are out there every night though. One stunk up the area last night. Every time that happens I hear about it. They always blame me for it..LOL Skunks have been roaming the streets for years and smelling up the towns. But of course I do have left over nuts and seeds out there and when more than one skunk comes they fight over it. Sometimes I will hear them fighting. Not really fighting but yelling at each other. I will open the window up and yell at them. They are right under my window and I could even touch them. That's how close they are sometimes. So it is bad when they spray. It doesn't bother me but the lady upstairs complains..

Oh! I got Jasper to eat some shrimp today! If she likes it and will eat that I will give her some every day. I had some frozen in the fridge so decided to try it. I was very happy that she ate it all. She still wanted out of the tub though later so I let her wander around. She was wandering around at 5 am this morning. She slept under my bed . So I've been awake ever since.
Guess I better go to bed. I drank my Chamomile tea. It helps relax me at night.
My knee was killing me yesterday and this morning till I took the Ibuprofen. I feel it again tonight but I won't take any more till tomorrow. I still have to be careful.

My daughter, Ginny, called me this afternoon. She's still in TN. Says she's doing okay. But she never tells me the whole story anyway. I filled her in on everything that I knew about with the family. She said the boys are helping a farmer down the road and making a few bucks. That's good for them. They have some chickens now also. Dave is still out in MN. She still won't let me know where she's at so I can't send the boys anything. She said they always bring out the books I made for them. They love looking at the critters. And they still have all the DVD's I've sent them. At least Ginny has electricity! Ha! And still has the DVD player that heather gave her. Portable one. They don't have a TV. And she talks about hauling water. Heaven only knows how they are living. I'm glad she can call me now and then anyway. She turned 46 on May 18th. She doesn't celebrate birthdays though. Never makes the boys a cake she said. She says what they don't know they can't miss. I wonder how they will be when they get older. Eli will be 12 soon. Poor kids.
Okay. It's off to bed I go. Take care everyone.
