Cloudy and cool. Another quiet day. Debbie did laundry. Joe is helping her quite a bit. He had a sore eye today After he had it 3 days without saying anything he did finally have me call the eye Dr. about 4:30 in the afternoon- i.e. Friday evening and the weekend coming up. He had to sit with warm compresses on it and it felt better by morning, thank goodness.
Debbie packed up the broken computer and took it in to Pinedale to be shipped to Best Buy. The theory is that perhaps if they work on it the one more time, and really go through it good, and it breaks down again I'll get a new one. They told me they replace them after three repairs. Well, we'll see about that. I'm sure they are trying to get out of it. They are telling me its the software not the computer and they aren't responsible for the software. While she was in town, Debbie got a few boxes to pack stuff in and some newspaper for wrapping. She drove around a little to look at the kind of property that is available. Then went to have lunch at the Chinese place.
Yesterday afternoon I walked another 3/4 of a mile while Debbie was fixing dinner - game hens with wild rice - and felt stronger than the last time. I know I'm supposed to be doing about 4 walks for 5 minutes each, but with putting on all the coats and actually getting out of the house, I've theorized that a 20 or 30 minutes walk is just fine. I'm up and down all day and walking around puttering more all the time. We kind of agreed that I'd stay quiet and not trying to do much until after the Dr. checkup, but I'm getting more in the mood to do a little bit all the time, so I do a few small things. I'm still feeling better and stronger every day.
The dogs are laying in the house a lot more lately, rather than running around outside. Sparky has a hitch in his get along when he first gets up from sleeping or laying. He is getting older, 10 or 11 now. He may need a little joint or cartilage supplement. Raven has taken to sleeping on the couch at night. I think she gets cold. But she is going to have to sleep on her bed. Joe is still feeding the cats. I catch a glimpse of some of them once in a while. Traveler had been out in the middle of the field and we saw a rough legged hawk hovering and hovering above, but later I saw Traveler again so guess he escaped.
