Well, so much for support and caring.
Maybe I'll just ramble and see what tumbles out of the old noggin'.
Here's news. My house was so warm this morning I didn't have to turn on any heat, the last time that happened was probably mid-November. Funny thing is, I didn't realize I had not turned it on until I was halfway through my exercise program when I realize I'm starting to perspire and go to turn the heat off. It must be close to spring.
My friend who lives in South Africa is in the States, she messaged me yesterday asking for my phone number as she is going to be here in Oregon next week. I'm hoping she'll have a little time to come see me, but since she not going to be here long I'll be delighted with a simple phone call. I do love that woman.
Speaking of phones. Mine went berserk night before last. I was in the middle of a conversation with a friend in PA, when the phone went dead. I hate that I sit there for several seconds shouting hello, hello, helloooo, hellllooooooooooooo even though I know nobody is there. I tried to call my friend back but got a busy signal and I figured she was trying to call me so I hung up. I did not get a call-back. I tried to dial her again, but instead of a dial tone I got beeping. Uh-oh, that's not good, I thought perhaps she had not properly hung up her phone and the line was still open so I moved on to other things. I knew eventually she would discover the problem and everything would be hunky-dory again. In the meantime I moved on to other things.
Little did I know I was also without Internet access. Well, that just sucked. I went to bed grumbling and lay there contemplating how I would clear up this mess. I had several scenarios in mind none of which appeared to have a simple solution. I slept fitfully. Guess what? When I awoke and tried to use the phone, all was well. I gave The Man Upstairs a great big 'thank you' for that. In conclusion, I guess my server was at fault...sometimes it's not good to be 'bundled'.
Then, yesterday I was getting ready for Bible study when I got a call my study partner was not going to be able to come. Geeze, all my dusting and vacuuming was for naught. Oh well. We are going to study on Friday instead...I hope she does not think I'm going to dust and vacuum again....LOL. I'll just walk around and give the furniture a good huff and puff, what dust blows off will have to do.
Finally, I'm still working on standing erect without using my hands for support. Sometimes it is quite easy while other times I simply can't get my butt off whatever seat I happen to be in. I can't figure out what makes the difference. Maybe I'm not concentrating hard enough. However I'm not about to give up, it is getting more easy day by day.
Oh, remember I told you some time ago Bobby, my shield bug died? Since the weather has been so wonderful I've had windows and doors open, and another bug somehow got into the house. I didn't realize it until night before last when I was in bed working a crossword puzzle and I heard a bzzzzz. I look down and there's a shield bug on my blanket. Well, I don't mind one camping indoors over the winter, but it's time to start a family so no loitering allowed. I scooped the rascal up, opened the front door and gently placed him on the stoop. Silly bug.
There you have it, this is just a bunch of Ramblings of an Old Woman.
Have a great day.
