Looked at email and read every one's blogs, and after some breakfast I mopped the wood floors. Lot of good it did. I don't know how but the Raven is still finding mud somewhere and the clean floor lasted about 20 minutes without muddy tracks.
Hope this is not more info than you want to know..... After lunch I figured out how to get a better sponge bath by sitting on my bath stool in the tub and just running the water out of the faucet, soaping up, holding up the arm with the picc line to keep it dry, and then carefully rinsing. It felt a lot more like a real bath, still not my favorite shower though.
Twila called me last night and said she still had the three cats I brought her and said that they are fat and happy. I suspected that was so, but was so glad to hear they are safe there, because I did wonder. Guess they are getting along with her cats o.k. Twila had some neck surgery and said she is doing pretty well. She has a friend that has come to help her and tells her to sit down and not to overdo.
I called to see if the car was finished, but he still hadn't started work on it. Said it was next - wasn't that what I heard about four days ago, three days ago, etc. Yes, thought it sounded familiar. Anyway it was snowing pretty hard again, and I called Gina and asked her if she would take me to the clinic and then to get the car about 4:30 and she said yes. Wouldn't you know we waited longer in the clinic this time than ever have - quite a while, but when Amy took me in it wasn't even five minutes before she was done flushing the line.
Next we went by the post office. Joe hadn't been for a while so we had quite a stack of mail. And received a fruit cake from my steadfast friend Joan in Sylmar. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, Joan. I got a card from her too, and Diane is there visiting from Apache Jct. - so big HI to Diane.
Then we went and waited a while in the auto repair shop. They had a girl boxer dog and I think we sat on her furniture according to the paw prints. The SUV was done about 5 p.m. and I drove home through the dusky snow covered streets. Gina and I agreed we wouldn't want to be out on the highway trying to get somewhere with the snowy, low visibility weather. Thank you so much for the favor of driving me, Gina. I was glad to get to visit with you while we waited.
Joe got the car in the garage with his truck and snow machine for me. I'm still going to try getting the SUV in the little garage door - he says it won't fit so he's probably right. I just want to check to see if it's any easier than the way we're doing it now - i.e. an accidental paint scuffing waiting to happen.
Fixed some leftovers for dinner and since I've now got the external hard drive hooked up, looked in there for some photos and stuck a few old ones in the last three days blog - check below. Am about ready to go watch some TV.
"Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord."(Psalm 112:1,7)
