Hi Potties! A belated Happy Birthday Reen.
Max - The Dr. visit went pretty well, all considered. She has me scheduled for a cardiac ultrasound on Mon. & I need to make an appointment with a dermatologist to check a couple of very tiny rough spots on my face. Told her I wanted to check the spots since I was born & raised in FL & lived a number of summers on Tampa Bay. Enough cancer in my family to not want to take a chance. I go back to see her in a month once she can review the results of those 2 appointments.
I noticed on the weather channel tonight that the FL rain pattern in the next day or so seemed to split about Orlando & stay on the east coast. I don't wish you what roared thru the the south today for the 2nd time in about 2 wks. no matter how much you need rain. I've seen a film clip repeatedly tonight of a tornado in Statesboro, GA where I went to college. Wouldn't wish that on anybody, but I'd love to share some of the unbelievably heavy rain we had here for about 6 hrs. today.
Good luck with the new phone. I don't envy you the learning curve but admire your courage in making the attempt!Katie - As the storms were leaving GA & heading for SC this evening I kept hearing them report at least 1 tornado in central MO, I believe they kept mentioning Copper County. Hope that isn't near you & Mike.
Shelly - I heard there was a high school shooting in Erie today but luckily only 1 person hurt & a suspect already identified. I hope it was nowhere near where y'all live. Seems like all I've seen on the news the last couple of days is shootings all over the country & where people weren't shooting at each other, Mother Nature was cleaning house from TX all the way to VA. Think I need to start reading a little more & watching a little less TV news.....
Since I had to be out for the 8 AM appointment with my Dr., I decided I might as well make a big loop & run all my errands while I was out. I got a small plant in the mail to Selena Anne & picked up a cat toy for her bunch while I was near the Olllie's discount store (my bunch love the one I got them about a week ago). The good thing about the Ollie's stop was ending up near Goodwill so I was finally able to drop off the carload of stuff I've been driving around with the past 2-3 weeks.
I've been putting off seeing about upgrading my computer for the past yr. or so & since I was already drenched, I decided on the way to pay the booth rent to stop by the folks who worked on my old unit before covid changed the world. You can imagine how thrilled I was to find that the lady who used to come to the house for me now runs the store. We had a wonderful visit catching up the past 2 yrs. & she'll see what she can put together for me & once she's had the old one for a couple of days, she'll bring the new stuff over & set everything up for me, including the printer. She knows what a technophobe I am & puts up with me anyway. I'll make sure I have at least 1 cherry Coke waiting for her when she gets here.
I dropped a few smalls & the rent off at the booth, paid the rent at U-Haul & stopped by my bank with it raining harder the further I drove. I stopped by Walmart to pick up all my prescriptions & the short list of things I was low on & by the time I was ready to leave, I could hardly see my car sitting about 2 spaces in line. Rather than wait forever (since I had forgotten to bring an umbrella), I just took off for the car tastefully attired in an extra shopping bag for a head cover! When I got to the house I found a small river running across the bottom of the driveway so I settled for grabbing just the frozen food & slogged into the house to wait out the flood.
I finally reached my Hartford attorney & found she's gotten her copy of the suit. I was able to go over some of the things that had been worrying me & she was able to put my mind at ease for the most part. A lot of the language was just "boilerplate" that seems to be routine - lawyers just throw it out there & hope to learn something new that will help them. Her paralegal will call me in a couple of weeks to get whatever information they need to work on the case. With what she's learned so far, she's pretty sure the case will get settled pretty quickly. Between her reassurances & the new pill from my doctor, I'm more at ease than I've been in the past couple of weeks.
We may have another monsoon most of Wed. day & night so I'll try & catch up on some lost sleep & then bite the bullet & try to make some of the phone calls I've been putting off due to lack of interest on my part.I hope all of you have a milder day than blew through GA today but if you're dry that you get enough rain help at least a little. Everybody take care. Later.
Susan
