All weekend, I have been remembering I had a doctor's appointment on Monday at 11 am. We got up early, bathed, ate ate and were ready to go and arrived at the appointment ahead of time. I called and asked for a wheelchair and someone to wheel me up. The woman called back in five minutes, telling me that my appointment was on Thursday. OH NO!
So, here we are, up earlier than I wanted to be awake, and nothing to do. I have been wanting to go to B&N, the bookstore. We went and I found a book. I sent a cup of Starbuck's coffee out to Tommy. As I left, I bought a piece of chocolate cheesecake, planning to share with Tommy. He did not want any. I left a bit and he ate it at home.
I really wanted Beowulf. I cannot choose a copy from the internet. I have to read part, at least of the intro and about the translator and whose copy of Beowulf is being translated. I also wanted a translation on the left page and the new translation on the right. At least I can see the old text. It makes a difference. Then, I purchased a book Tommy might like. I don't have it right in front of me, so I will give you that title later. It was only $10.
Tommy went into Dollar General and bought his Pepsi. He also took my phone and debit card into Verizon to figure out why I cannot pay my bill. By the time we got home, we felt satisfied we had not wasted our day running all the way to UAB for nothing.
We managed to accomplish lots here later. We emptied the dishwasher last night and loaded it tonight. He hand-washed some of the dishes that we hand-wash. We used the four hamburgers for dinner along with cabbage, green beans, and Romaine. I ate a whole apple.
Tommy watered the flowers twice today. The hummingbird feeders were washed and are ready to be filled come morning. Tommy will hang them.
The dogs started barking at Tommy when he went out just after 8 am to water the hanging baskets. They have a new dog, too. I think that makes seven dogs. The neighbors put a trampoline up against our fence and an above ground pool along the fence behind the trampoline. In front of their fence around the back yard is a basketball goal. The kids play quietly in the pool instead of shrieking, so pool time does not bother me. They are rather quiet doing everything, but still children laughing and playing. The dogs are driving me mad.
Okay, I must go to bed since I am about to go to sleep typing.
I suppose the nation has heard that our escaped convict and the prison guard who helped him escaped have been caught. She killed herself. My one question has been--Why did they only manage to travel less than 300 miles in eleven days? I could have been to Mexico, Canada, or California! Could it be that they were occupied with her purchases from the adult store?
