I think I told you all how I expected Wednesday to be a bad day,simply because I had to go see the doctor. Of course I prayed about it,and that always makes things go better than I anticipate,and naturally Yon son took me, so he made it actually fun! But then, he always does that, so that was no real surprise. After the stab lab,and seeing Dr. Kollieflower,Yon son took me to get an ice cream cone,and then drove me around town to see changes that have taken place since the last time I was out, just before Christmas. How things change in just a few short months! So, when we finally got home, we had a light lunch so I could take my pills, watched the last bit of "Jeopardy!",changed into our comfortable clothes,and about the time for Bible study, I folded in the middle like a wet noodle. Yon son dragged me to my room,and put me to bed, and set up the tape to record the service, for me to hear later. I was so bushed, when he pulled my chair back, he pulled me right out of my slippers,and had to go back and get them, to set by my bed for when I woke up,and I barely remember any of it. Now, that is tired, my friend! Then about four hours later, I got up, woke him up, and we had a proper dinner, and after we watched the fireworks I taped off television Tuesday, we finally called it a day,and I went to bed happy!
But today was a mess, from beginning to end! We had mix-ups with the groceries he was supposed to get,and I had to send him back out three times before he got the stuff I wanted to make a certain dish with....worse yet, by the time I had all the ingredients assembled, it was too late to make it! Then,confusion with phone calls I had to make, and with the meds he was supposed to pick up for me. I had carefully counted out the money for the prescriptions,but when he left, I forgot to give it to him,and he forgot to ask for it, so he had to come back and get the money, and then when he went to the store, he forgot he didn't have any change left,and couldn't even purchase a bag! It was nobody's fault, it was just the whole day was wrong! Two phone calls I have been waiting for on needles and pins for weeks, both came in today while I was napping, and I missed them both, neither left a message, and when I finally scrolled through the caller ID, and spotted them, it was far too late to return their calls! Even more worrisome, both have my email address,and neither sent me an email! What is that? Outwardly I am calm about it, but the little idiot in the file room of my brain is saying, "Oh dear! It's too awful to tell you in an email! Oh, dear!" and wringing it's hands. It stands to reason that they would call back if it is important, I suppose, but with some people, you just can't be sure. But, the day and the problems weren't over yet. Then I went to the computer to check my emails, and sure enough, nothing from those two callers,and then went off-line to wordperfect, to write a letter,and make a new sign for the front door. The one directing deliveries to the back door. The one up there now, I noticed yesterday, is looking a little ragged. It took forever to get the letter just the way I wanted it,and I kept an eye on the time, so that I would still be able to run my stats for the day in time to get the accurate total, and I went zipping right on through the sign,but then, somewhere between the computer and my printer, there seemed to be some sort of argument over me changing from portrait style to landscape style,and it just would not go ahead and print it out as it should have. Well, I got impatient,and clicked it three times, before I realized that now I would have three prints cued up,and I would not be able to exit until that was done. Time was running out,and I got more and more upset,and then, that is when the reminder to run my spychecker came up,and I just let it go ahead and do that too! What the heck! So now, I have three signs, all correct, and all identical, so I won't have to do that again for years! But,even though it finally printed my signs, Wordperfect still would not let me go, so in exasperation, I just hit the right keys,and shut the whole thing down,and restarted it.
When I finally got to typepad, It was Waaayyyy too late to get my stats for the day, but sometimes, things just don't go right, and you just have to praise the Lord that It wasn't far worse than it was!
OUI?
