Mon. July 24
From a warmer MO,
This has been a full day so far. The girls slept well last night and I didn't hear anything from them until about 5:00 and after going outside, they seemed to want to return to their sleeping crate (I think they like their treat) and I didn't hear from them again until 6:00 when Jim was moving around.
Jim took a book over to John Wheeler (the Kinky Friedman book) before he went on to rehab. I left here about 7:30 for the RSVP office. My first inclination that the day was going to go wrong was when I turned the computer and printer on and it said the ink cartridge was low. I went into the machine (or at least tried to) to see how low the cartridge was and couldn't find the place where a percentage would be displayed. I decided to just keep using the printer until the ink was obviously almost gone. There were only a few easy changes on the list today and I was then ready to begin the labels - when the so called new printer (maybe 3 months old) decided to take in only one label sheet at a time and then if it only wanted it. When you end up running 36 sheets (3 sheets to a set) and each set has to be started again from scratch (we used to run one set and do a double check - then would run 11 sets) the morning seemed long. Thank goodness Ruth showed up as she xeroxed the needed sheets for the hospital and put them together as well as wrote two checks and balanced the checkbook. We also then pooled out minds and wrote a thank you note to a recent widow where Mobile Meals had been listed as a possible memorial. Anyway, a process that usually takes maybe a little over one hour took two -- oh, well.
I next went by the outpatient clinic to see when a St. Luke's cardiologist would be coming (comes on Thursdays) and wondered if there would be an opening for Jim - there wasn't. I thought this might save us a trip to KC, but of course first I need to get Jim to make a phone call - which he seems to delay doing.
We left here a little after 10:00 to go to Liberty to pick up his repaired hearing aide - then went to O'Charley's for lunch - then made a trip to Sam's. We do like the tilipia (individually wrapped) that we can get there and ended up also get a large bag of frozen blueberries - Jim also loves these.
Jim is now trying to get my attention to do some trimming on his hair - he is so trusting - he forgets how livid I was when he pulled on the cord to get the lawnmower going - oh, well --
We don't have too much on the agenda for Tuesday. The small area between Haney's and our driveway needs mowing - will take maybe 10 minutes. There is the possibility of rain during the mid part of the week so this needs to be done before we do have rain. We need to refill the car with gas and then maybe go to the Y to do some minor walking.
Be safe.
