Work Interrupted

Sliding Doors during Blizzard

Foggy Morning - House Across the Street

Every time I tried to get on the Internet it wasn't working. Resetting etc. didn't work. Here's why. http://www.pinedaleonline.com/news/2009/04/Cutfiberopticlinedow.htm. That resulted in all my emails for last night and today rolling over to Thursday.

Tuesday night went to bed about 8 or so and put Marley and Me in the DVD player, hit play, and never even saw the movie start. Woke up just in time to see the sad ending. When I got up about 10:30 p.m. after my "nap" during the movie, the dogs wanted out and there was a blizzard raging - unbeknownst to me until then. It was a surprise to see about 4" of wet heavy snow on the deck which had fallen in the last couple of hours. Couldn't see what had happened though until I opened the door because all the windows and sliding doors were plastered thickly with snow. It was nice moisture to have for spring time grass and flowers. So then stayed awake and watch Marley and Me all the way through. And annoyingly didn't sleep more until about 5 a.m. Came out to the living room and watched TV on the couch and finally fell asleep there - just for a change of scene.

I had some aspirations of going to the Wednesday painting group at Rendezvous Pointe and backed out again. I had not slept for two nights and didn't feel up to hauling my "stuff" down there.

Joe went to coffee and afterwards Joe the plumber drove him around town on a sightseeing trip to see all the new development around town. Joe was surprised at how many new houses there were. Then we tried to go to lunch at Rendezvous Pointe but I had forgotten to make a reservation and they said too many other people had done the same thing. So Cindy asked if we could wait until others had been served because there might not be enough prepared. There was a big crowd - so we decided to try the new hamburger place that took over the Cajun restaurant (which Joe liked because everything there was fried. He liked the shrimp, But it is no more.) I'd heard they were good but the burgers were just o.k. and not cheap by any means. There is also a new buffet to try, so we might go there next time.

Anyway we saw Lois and Bud at Rendezvous Pointe having their lunch there, and I asked them to come over for dinner on Thursday. It will be good to see them, since they recently got back from their snowbirding and it's been a very long time since we have visited.

On the calender for the end of the month was to call Oncology to see when they want me to come for my next CT scan. Nurse Judy had to contact Dr. Ward, and also Radiology. Before it was all scheduled and all the information organized, between us it took about seven calls. They have me down for a scan at 10 a.m. and then to see Dr. Ward at 1 p.m on Friday May 8. Even though I had a note next to the phone I forgot to ask them to renew one of my prescriptions so that was another call back. Charm has been in Jackson for doctor appointment and had stayed overnight, so I called her at the motel and asked if she would pick up the BerryLicious drink for me. She said she was doing o.k. and that she would bring the drink by to me on her way home Thursday. That saves me taking a trip up there or going extra early the 8th to get the drink. THANK YOU DEAR CHARM.

In the afternoon the man from Rocky Mountain Home came over and measured for vertical blinds for the sliding doors. With the sun having moved more north, it's really shining in hot and bright on the table just at dinner time. We might have them within a week - after I go down there and pick out which fabric and color. Don't let me procrastinate. I copied more letters into the computer until I got tired of that. Should be able to get through the rest of this batch in one more session. Eyes kept wanting to close so took a nice though short nap and warmed up some leftovers for dinner. I was ready to go to bed early.
