Monday: Dawn had a class today. She had to make an oral presentation to the class today. She and Lou went shopping after that. I relaxed at home trying to recuperate.
Quite warm today, mid 90’s in the shade today.
Tuesday: A little yard work this morning and then off to Menlo Park for breakfast at Ann’s Cafe. We then looked at a pet store there for cats and at the Palo Alto Animal Control.
It’s much cooler today a little over 85 degrees in the shade. We should be in the 70’s this time of year.
Note: I do have a couple of pictures to post but it may be a while. I intend to have the laptop setup first.
Wednesday: We awoke to a warm refrigerator. We moved a lot of stuff to the RV and bought some ice. In additon, we started using up some of the stuff that was in there. We also went out looking at new refrigerators. After checking Sears, Home Depot and Ikea, we found the perfect model next door at Fry's. We should have just started there. We needed to fine an odd sized unit. It can only be 66.25 inches tall. Most full size units start at 67.5 inches tall and get taller. We wanted a bottom freezer and that made the finding even more difficult. There appears to only be one such animal and it's made by Amana. Even though the Fry's store is only five blocks away, the refrigerator wont be delivered until Tuesday. Thats a lot of ice!
The weather is getting cooler, more normal. My eyes may finally be getting better. I've been tinkering with the laptop trying to get it back to normal but not really accomplishing much due to the cold.
Thursday: This morning was all Doctors appointments for me (Don). When i phoned about my eyr infection, the nurse scheduled me for my bi-annual checkup and also for an eye exam. It's been three years since the eyes were checked an a couple since a physical. lou drove me over and had some lab work done on herself. My checkups went well. No problems found and the eyes are the same so no new glasses needed. Now we'll see how the blood work goes.
Friday: I'm not exactly sure of the day of the decision but it looks like we will remain cat-less. Dawn and Lou are both allergic to cats and we have gotten along by regular bathing of Mr Milo when we had him. Dawn has always had bouts of breathing problems but has been fine for the past few months. She had an attack when we last visited cats and we finally realized cats may be most of the problem. We like having Dawn around more than starting a new life with cat so this brought an end to the hunt.
Saturday: Rummage sale day for Lou, Dawn and our neighbor Maylei. They had some fun but no great finds.
I did some pruning of the apricot tree in the back yard. The freeze killed a lot of the little branches and i haven't pruned it in about three years. So it was groomed and looks pretty good though, as old as it is, it may not last too much longer. I also tinkered with the laptop some more and then relaxed the rest of the day. I'm quite good at that.
Sunday: The end of another week. Nothing much accomplished this week.
