Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

I asked hubs: are they the Oilers? He said yes, but they changed the name years ago.

Well, actualllllyyyyy.... The Houston Oilers owner pulled the team out of Houston in 1997 because he wanted a new stadium and the city wouldn't give it to him. Guess the Astrodome wasn't good enough for him back then. He then moved the team to Tennessee. Their new name is the Tennessee Titans after calling themselves the Tennesse Oilers for a couple of years.

The Houston Texans are a completely new team - not just a renamed team. I guess they're not so new anymore - they were established in 2002.

DH's appt today with his endocrinologist went pretty well. No real changes - just keep on keeping on. Occupational therapy will be here at 8:30 tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the lesson!!

You're welcome! Houstonians (and most of us in the area) felt betrayed when the Oilers were snatched away from us. It has created a bit of a rivalry between the Texans and the Titans.

Up way too early again this morning. What is it about 4:47a that makes my body want to witness it every morning? I don't like it. Only good thing about it is that I get to enjoy my coffee without playing waitress to DH. Oops, did I say that out loud?

The adjustment to his shunt on Monday has helped. He is able to walk better and even think a little more clearly. Hope he continues to improve and that the improvement stays steady instead of fluctuating like previously. They tell us it may take months for him to reach the peak of improvement. Looks like this will be a bit of a prolonged process - but totally worth it if it gives him the much hoped for results.

We're supposed to get some cold-ish temps tonight. I think we're headed for the low 40's and maybe even high 30's. I've got a sprawling volunteer cherry tomato plant out there that I'll do my best to protect. It's got loads of little tomatoes on it that I want! Might look for some suckers on it and snap 'em off. It would be cool if I could get 'em to root and keep 'em alive over winter. Maybe add some grow lights and have fresh tomatoes all winter? Ha! I really need a green house!

First cup down. I need to tackle a chore or two before I reward myself with that second cup.
