The first day of spring ! It sure didn't seem like it. Last night we had a bad hailstorm. Since the tables on my patio are topped with glass it was very noisy. pop..pop..bang..bang..pop for quite a long time. Our poor pooch was totally freaked out. I don't think she has experienced hail in her lifetime. It made for a night with limited sleep.
Got out this morning and checked the roof and the things that might break but everything seems to be OK. I had put some little ceramic things in the front flower beds just a few days ago and was afraid they would be smashed but they were fine.
Monday I had a session with a personal trainer who showed me how to use some of the machines and worked with me on some floor exercises. The "bike" I rode was fun. You have to avoid others and control the direction, speed, etc. so is more fun than just peddling. I am really interested in improving my physical health.
I also talked to the VA Monday about this silly problem with getting paper checks. It is a long involved story but bottom line it appears what I have done for the last 6 months is wrong and have to call a "Fidiciary Office" in Lincoln, Neb. I did so and she told me she has made the change; HOWEVER, it is too late to not received some kind of plastic debit card this coming month. Supposedly it will then be a direct deposit the following month. Why do I not believe any of these people anymore? I called the treasury office since they had sent me a rather terse, warning letter to get this done. The lady there said, no I wouldn't get a card, but the same paper check I have been getting for about 9 months now. It will be interesting to see which one of these nice ladies is right.
Tuesday I had planned to price the pile for the garage sale but after going to get a haircut and going to the grocery and doing 4 loads of laundry I never even got out there. Oh well.
I got up this morning, had a bowl of cereal and headed over to see Cowboy. I changed my usual Tuesday-Thursday schedule this week because of a luncheon near where Cowboy is on Friday. Went today and will go again Friday afternoon.
He was in his room watching TV. We visited a bit and read the paper. I stayed and had lunch with him. He ate very little and then said he needed to use the bathroom so we headed back to his room. He is very quiet today. He laid down for a nap and I came on home.
Once home I surveyed my patio and realized I needed to hose it down again. Am going to wait until it dries out and then can sweep a lot of the debris off.
Tomorrow I have book club and some errands. It is cooler since the front came through and really quite nice.
