My grandma got me a wonderful digital camera. It has 10 megapixels and works much faster than my old one. With the old one, I had to use rechargeable batteries and they would only last for about 5 minutes before you could take another picture. NOT a good camera for fast -paced sports activities!! This camera solely takes alkaline batteries and those lost so much longer. The camera is called "Insignia." I used the camera all day yesterday when we were out and about, and the batteries are holding strong. I can even take several videos of the lights and show you my new camera. OK---here we go!!!
I just love Christmas, don't you? I love praising the Lord for this is His day always. Christmas has become so commercialized, hasn't it? Kids want all the latest toys and adults want the latest electronics. When I was kid, I got mostly clothes for Christmas and toys that didn't require batters that run, but your IMAGINATION!!. What happened to those days of yesteryear? Sigh. Here's another video:
The Shutterfly photo book I posted yesterday was actually FREE for me, I just had to pay shipping and handing. Shutterfly paid the rest. Because I got the new camera, that deal came with it! How sweet! I've loaded it with pictures of my mom, dad, hubby and me as a memory book to use when I feel down.
Having Grandma here has been a blessing. Just like old times, except we are in Phoenix instead of Yuma. And my mom's not here for us to be the "Three Muskateers." I feel bad that my legs and back are NOT cooperating and we can't really do much but ride about and look at lights. She says she is having fun and having problems with her back, too. This morning I woke and and took that first step and my leg hurt so bad I thought I broke it.
Then, as I walk on it, it gets a little better. I had to cancel the pulmonologist due to I couldn't walk into the office. Literally! Now that is pretty bad!!
I will be getting more pictures of me and Grandma (who cares if I'm fat? I've come to accept that and more on to ways to get thinner.) And who knows when I see Grandma again? I'll post those as soon as I get them. :) Tomorrow I have to work on my application for state food stamps and medical insurance. Oh, fun! I'll just use what I had for last year and copy that. Nothing has changed with me, unfortunately!!!
I have a hearing date for Social Security Disability....January 29th. I have yet to see me lawyer and she said I don't really have much evidence, but wants me to go so they can see me in person. I am a pathetic sight. I'll take my walker, my medical records and the the truth. My lawyer says that if I get disability, then I would qualify for Medicare in two months, because I've waited almost two years anyway fighting my case. So we shall see. I just don't want to lost my medical insurance. Please pray for me!!!
Last but not least, don't forget to register for my giveaways! I'm got on on the post page "For Chocoholics" witch ends soon- December 18th at midnight. And the new one on the post page "Another Giveaway." That one ends December 30, if I remember correctly. It's wonderful chocolate and makes excellent stocking stuffers.
OK, my leg is killing me so it's time to get it up. Jack agrees too....talk a look at the cute picture I got of him with my new camera:
Hope you all have a good weekend!
God bless you and yours.
Until next post,
Glad you are having a good time with Grandma! I can't wait to see the pictures. I hope you get the disability and medicare. My medicare kicks in in February (finally! I have been waiting two years for it). Disability is a big help although it doesn't pay all the bills. I too, have applied for food stamps and medicaid. I also have applied for my state disability program, so if Arizona has one and you get disability, you may want to check into that too, I am hoping 2011 is a much better year than 2010 was, even though Mom won't be here to be with me. 2010 was not a good year for me. I hope you are having a great time!
