As mentioned the counter tops were supposed to go on Wednesday. The plumber showed up first thing just as the folks called and said had a sick employee and couldn't make it today. Ends up the first date we could agree on was next Monday. Of course I have stuff stacked everywhere to empty the cabinets and removed all the drawers and they are stacked exactly where the painters were going to start.
Sent the plumber away and started trying the figure out how to handle both painters and counter top people the same day. Some good news, the floor was finished on Thursday and it looks beautiful. I had them leave the furniture apart and out from the walls for the painters so I am stepping over things.
Thursday my phone died. Not a good time with all this activity. Went to AT&T and they reset it and said that was the problem. Only thing is it still won't charge. Went where I bought it second hand and the warranty had expired (30 days). Went to a cell phone repair. The guy said I needed a new charger. The place was messy and he was messy and I chose not to go buy a charger but to look for a different repair place. The next place said the receptacle for the cord was corroded. Left it for him to repair. Here I am, no phone with all these contractors in various stages of planning, a hubby in a nursing home, my children unaware of my problem. Interesting how dependent we have become on our "toys".
When I went back he said it was not the receptacle but the battery and to go to another one of their stores to get a battery. Went and bought the battery, took it home and plugged it in and still would not charge. Now I go to Best Buy and buy a charger and take it home and it works and charges and everything. Boy, it is a jungle out there.
Friday I went to the store and started preparing taco fixins for 25 people. It is not easy when your pots and skillets are put up over the cabinets, your knives are in a drawer "somewhere" and where are the tea towels, etc. Got it done despite the gods conspiring against me.
This morning daughter #2 and I drove to see Cowboy. That was after I arose early, cut up the lettuce and tomatoes, cut my finger in the process, got everything all in the car and stopped for breakfast for my starving daughter.
We provided enchiladas, tacos, chips, pop, etc for the staff at the home today. It was a great time, the food was good and they were very appreciative. My tacos were complimented by all.
Cowboy was in a good humor and we walked around a bit. He was really having trouble getting his right leg to work. He was going very slow and seemed frustrated as his brain told his leg to move and it just stood there. Mostly we sat outside
When they tested his blood sugar this morning it was only 66 so we skipped the insulin. That has been happening some lately and concerns me. Need to put it on my list to discuss with the Dr.
Cowboy's glasses came in this week so I will need to go to Ft Hood and get them and take them to him some time this week. Also had to argue with the dentist this week about a bill they sent that I had already paid.
