Lunch was nice with dd1, dgd16 and dgs19. About 10:20 or so, dd2 called on her way to S ams for ice. She had dropped off dgd2 at daycare but dgd3 started having symptoms last Thursday of the foot, hand and mouth disease. She was griping that dgd16 wouldn't watch dgd3 and asked what I was doing. I told her I was getting ready to go to lunch with dd1 and the kids. She didn't seem too happy about that and I haven't heard from her since. I guess she should have asked earlier, instead of assuming that I would/could babysit. I can watch her the rest of the week, but I haven't offered yet. Both boys have games tonight, so we will see if she gets over her snit by then.

lucylee, so happy for you that there was more fabric.
Dd2 called and was very friendly. She needs a reality check every once in awhile and that's what happened today.

About computers - I forgot to say earlier that dh only buys lenovo laptops for himself and his grad students. I don't know about notebooks. When ds was shopping for a laptop last summer, he also chose a lenovo.

Hello. Thinking about everyone. All the recovering happening in the village. Kathryn, funny about the dr. office calling to make appointment a little late.
Yesterday I got all my errands done including visiting my lady friend at the nursing home. I can see where she could be a difficult woman. Mostly I just sit and listen. A lot of head nodding. She told someone recently she's happy I come.
Got enough dinner fixins for the rest of the week so that was good. Made the pork chops tonight, enough for a couple days. Got to stop at the library. Such a calm place. I wonder if they'd let me live there.
Today was a paper chase as I figured out a bank account. Had to call 2 insurance companies about auto payments the bank didn't deduct. 1 is happening next month with that month's bill also; the other was pre-paid with my application payment. Oh, I had no idea that was going to be credited to June's bill. But all straightened out and I was able to set up a pin number to get into one bank's automated system.
Also called our prepaid cell company. Payments come out of charge card automatically and charge company told us our card was compromised and changed account numbers and gave us new cards. So I had to find someone who spoke enough English to understand to give new numbers to.

I think I was talking to Mexico. Way to eat up hours of time with all this. Sheesh.
Ran errand for DH downtown, 1 shoe & 1 slipper on, told him to come out to the car I wasn't going in. My toe is really sore and I can't see anything wrong with it. There's no nail left embedded into the skin either. Oh well, patience, give it time I guess.
Tomorrow is dentist, a cleaning and shudder a filling fixed..not happy about shot I know I'll get into the roof of my mouth. ouch...trying not to stress about it.
Booksaver, hope you have a fun camping trip if you stay and weather cooperates. It's been a long time since I've done any camping. Would love to retire and do some tenting.
Twins, ignore that person...we all think you are wonderful!

Took a nap.
Got up for my second dinner and helped dh get that ready (just reheating food.)
He took me for a walk after. We did the 'long' block which is just over 2/3 mile. I'm pretty winded from that.
He'll have his conference call in a few minutes. I'll do up the dishes and then maybe have some fruit since I'm craving something sweet. I'm back to craving jelly beans because they help with the metallic taste in my mouth and a burst of energy. I had two servings stashed in the car from when I had hepatitis, and ended up buying more when we were out yesterday because we were at the the store where I can get them. So I've refilled the emergency stash of them in the car and trying to ignore the big bag in the house.
