Saturday, September 21

They tell me it will be fall tomorrow.  Doesn't feel like it.  Still pretty hot.  I am tired of hot weather and ready for orange and golden leaves and a cool breeze.  Oh wait, this is central Texas.  Isn't going to happen.

Wednesday I got a haircut, filled up the car (hate that), and went to the dermatologist.  Can't recall if I mentioned it, though I think I did, I have a rash on my arms and legs.  Been there for months.  Won't go away.  I have tried EVERYTHING !!

I got my first full body skin exam.  Seems there are all sorts of interesting things on my skin.  I have several places that have little cysts that have "calcified", a discolored place on my leg called "granulor annulare" or something like that. And of course, pimples.  No one 69 years old should have to deal with pimples ! However, she doesn't know what the rash is so is doing a biopsy.  Also removed a mole that is getting bigger.  Interesting visit.  Will know results of biopsy in two weeks.

I hosted Book Club at my house on Thursday.  I had selected "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings".  I thought they would like it but hardly anyone did.  Well, I did.  Had a good discussion and I always enjoy the ladies and visiting.

Thursday afternoon one of the fellows from the dulcimer group came over and helped me load 15 folding chairs into my car for tomorrow's dulcimer concerts at the home.  Everyone is so nice and helpful around here.  It is great.

I ordered five large pizzas to feed us because turns out the kitchen at the home is short stafffed and can't feed us.  Didn't find that out til Thursday AM.

A neighbor from across the street came over and said one of the painters doing his house is interested in the Maserati.  He is going to come look at it next week.  cool.  Have had an ad on Craigslist and have had some inquiries but no serious bites.

I then watched the evening news and learned that we might have 5 inches of rain on Friday and flooding, etc. Got a call from our leader and we agreed it was best to cancel.  Got a call from my friendly helper and he came back and emptied my car.  Called the pizza place and cancelled the pizzas.  Geez.  What a day.

One of the nice things about a rainy day and all your plans are cancelled.  You can do whatever you want (as long as you don't have to go outside).  It just poured all day and sometimes the TV was out because of the rain.  I ended up working on my rather out of control closet.  Pulled out stuff I don't need or want or can't wear and filled 4 shopping bags (big shopping bags) with all of it.  It will go to a local charity.

We had dulcimer practice this morning and I went.  Then I went and bought mums to plant at the home.  They are all in my car.  Will take them over tomorrow.  I think the aide is supposed to be there part of the day so he can help me unload.  Maybe we can get them in the ground when I go back Tuesday.
