We are having heavy solid rain today and tomorrow, some breeze, but not downright wind, at least. But a sunny weekend is in store! Just in time for trick-or-treaters. I do miss my early mornings out on the deck with my coffee.
Yesterday was jam packed with action. Appts, errands, cleaning, laundry, sewing, and booster shots. Then as we came home about 6pm - rainy and nearly dark - we had a long interlude with Vicki who was out in the middle of the road again. In heavy going-home traffic. Drivers get angry, honk, spin their tires as they get by her and roar away. So while Bill called 911 - again - I went and tried to get her off the side of the road. And she cooperated! I think when she's belligerent, she is probably drunk. She wasn't either last night. She was actually pleasant and talked to me for quite a while on all sorts of subjects, while she smoked a cigarette while hanging on to her mailbox. I was kind of afraid we'd BOTH get hit. we were only about 2 ft off the pavement. But after about 15 minutes, she finally decided to go back to her house and toddled away. Her muscle movements are so uncontrolled and it takes her some doing to get turned around and under way that I was afraid she'd lose her balance and fall over - onto the road. But she didn't. I was drenched by the time I got back to my own house, but at least we possibly averted a tragedy for the night, anyway.
Today Bob and Betsy arrive. We need to vacuum, but other than that, we're all ready.
TINA, sorry about all the dust. I would be more than happy to send you all the rain you wish, but then you'd have mud. Be careful what you wish for. You must be really super-duper cleaning those rooms! I wish you luck with your Adam talk today. You know he's going to tell you whatever he thinks you want to hear and then go on being Adam, only he'll be angrier with you. Wish he'd agree to quit-claim his share the house over to you or to Holly.
VELDA - you have a lot of fun projects on your plate! Do you plan to do any sewing for Christmas this year in addition to everything else? Hope your EKG all went well. Surprised they just didn't do it at the cardiologist's office. They are so quick and easy.
JANA - I bet now you can see obvious improvement in Michael each day! and I so well remember that MASH episode! Best TV show of all time, IMHO!
BECCA - I'm sorry to hear the utility left such a mess for you to clean up. I'd be writing a letter or making a phone all to make them come do it themselves! It's not right.
CAROL - thanks for the hydration tip! You haven't steered me wrong yet! I've shared it. And while I don't have Pediasure on hand I do have plenty of water and other liquids. (and no, I don't count wine as a hydrating liquid.
).Tonite's supper is going to be homemade turkey pepperoni pizza and salad. Betsy is bringing a dessert yet to be named. We'll set up a table downstairs in front of the fire in the family room. Betsy doesn't do stairs so well anymore. She's on heavy amounts of oxygen 24/7 now and gets breathless. Much easier to take the supper to her rather than make her come to the supper. Our next house will definitely not be a split level! This is why I always want to clean the garage - it's our "entryway" for most of our aging company. No stairs!
What's your supper plan?
