Out of Date

I opened this page to write, got sidetracked talking to Tommy and have no idea what I was going to relay. 

Here is something else. The concrete driveway is covered with shriveled up, dead worms. Occasionally, we find one worm but not so many. Anyone know what is happening?

The reports say that hummingbirds are migrating South.  Last week I was talking to a nurse when I saw a hummingbird near my sparse, halfdead flowers. I was breathless when I told Tommy. Then, the hummingbird came to the storm door, flitted around, turning its head to view all the room. I was whispering breathlessly, telling Tommy what was happening. The nurse, whispered," Aawww."  

Tommy was not enchanted. He said it only saw its reflection. I don't think so.

Today, we bought Sure Jell with date of August 2024 and found dozen or so almanacs with 2024 date. Other items are past date. I have never seen so many. 

At Physical therapy two weeks ago, the woman stumbled into me, kicking the end of big toe and next toe. Then, she stepped hard on both toes. She mumbled 'sorry' one time but said, "It was an accident" at least a dozen times. Finally, after two weeks of agony from my swollen toe,  bleeding under the nail, I finally talked with the director. There were so many things she did wrong once I got started. I did not want her to get in trouble, but more than the injury, she was not doing her job when with me. The other two pt have been excellent. Things are better.But, my left knee was also injured in the fall last March. So, going to ortho for that. 

During the time not reporting on my steps, I often did 20,000 steps. I still love this machine. 

The house next door that abused dogs is still a problem. We were told there were rats living in the junk in the carport. Tommy went to read a notice on the door and said the house door stinks and has flies all over. A friend who went into the house said there is stuff rotting in the refrigerator and flies inside and roaches all over. 

The woman next door went out her front door to go to the mailbox and came back to the door where she found a snake caught in the storm door where he could not get loose, caught by his head. So, it was right under her feet when she walked out. Then, we found a snake skin on the driveway.  Mosquitoes are abundant from the tall grass. I just wonder what is under our house. 

One of my readers offered me a wheelchair and a walker. We met halfway for the transfer. He put the walker together. A couple of weeks ago, a leg on his walker broke. It is a wonder it did not disembowel him! He would not believe me when I told him the leg broke. So, I allowed (encouraged) him to use mine until he buys another. It is orange, an Auburn color. Thank you, Merrit! 

I wanted Five Guys burger and fries. Tommy was horrified when he came out. Two burgers, Coke, and one fries order was $40. 

One day, we ate at Jim N Nicks. Delicious and not so expensive. We both have wanted Chinese for several years. Anne recommended Red Pearl. So, maybe we will go there Thursday. 

Remember, I declared September, all month, my birthday month. 

Tommy is going to replace the necklace I lost or was stolen. I thought I lost it in the house from the table next to me. But, it is not there and the last woman who helped me clean was over there. I will not accuse her because I could be wrong.

Now,  I must read more of Duchovny. 

The weather is still very hot, but we are spared from the rain and suffocating air. How is it where you live?
