Tuesday, August 27

I finally started to feel a bit caught up and "normal" yesterday.  Spent the morning going to the post office, the drug store, the music store, the Office Depot (got to take advantage of those $10 off cards when I need ink for the printer) and the grocery store.

In the afternoon a couple of friends and I went to see "The Butler".  It was a wonderful movie, amazing cast and a good story.  I found myself thinking about things that I experienced in the 50's and 60's that were long forgotten.  I even  had a bag of popcorn and a soda.  A rare treat that is decidedly not good for me.

I went to see Cowboy today.  They were giving everyone a haircut and we put Cowboy's name on the list and then waited our turn.  It was a bit of a circus because they had been without a barber for a spell and everyone needed a trim.  Cowboy got impatient and couldn't understand why he wasn't next.   He tended to be the senior person back in his army days and I think he wanted to still have that status.  Nope, just have to wait your turn.

Good lunch.  When we went back to Cowboy's room I asked him for his teeth and cleaned his dentures for him and put them to soak.  I continue to be dissastisfied with the care of his teeth.  We talked a little bit and then I headed home.  Ran into heavy rain but the closer I got to home the less rain there was.  On the news tonight, learned we had very little here where we live.

I go to see an opthamologist tomorrow about the cataract surgery.  Need to make a decision about this new procedure.

I went out to the patio tonight and watered everything real well and sat outside for a while.  It was fairly cool and pleasant.  Still haven't had dinner.  The lunches are so generous at the home, am not very hungry.  Guess I will make a sandwich.
