Husband and Wife. Well.....it's only 11:39 and it's been QUITE a day already. Husband decided to go to the dentist by himself. 11am appointment. They called me a few minutes after 11. Was he on his way???
Well. He showed up while they had me on the phone. While we were ALL "concerned" and now memory loss is on his Patient Notes. I am thinking he stopped first to pick up his hearing aid. I don't actually know what he does to them...but one of them is always being sent to the company to be repaired. It's not like he can actually hear anything even when he has them on. Cause he doesn't want to hear anything. My Voice.
I had to spend some time here- deleting unwanted things when I signed in. The gift that keeps on giving. The daily pile of crap that traveled into my desktop from Patty's email. Lowe's also wanting me to stop in and apply for a few job opportunities 40 to 60 minutes south on I 95.
I applied once (here in Town), long ago when I would get laid off for the Winter months and applied for unemployment and had to "look for work". I did unemployment two years- and then said "f-it" and stopped. Gift that keeps on giving even after 16 years.
Public works was back. We have a new spray painted something or other from the Water Department. It's on the property that belongs to the Town--where on a REAL STREET it would be on the sidewalk.. Not a new hydrant but possibly some other thing. We don't have a sidewalk. We only actually have PAVING because my husband went to every monthly Town Meeting for a YEAR and asked to have our street paved. We were still making do with the construction asphalt of 40 years ago.
His squeaking wheel-- got the street paved. Well...I think they actually referred to him as That Pain in The ASS. But we got a real paved street. Now we are getting something else...but the Public Works people stand at the end of our drive (no where near the new whatever) and give the house a HARD STARE. I know- cause I am looking right back at them.
The riding mower that was picked up for service a few weeks ago- is needing more parts....they called to see if I wanted to spend the money. I said YES. Husband is so NOT getting a new mower. They can replace parts until...well, he isn't mowing the lawn anymore (soon). And a Service Company is mowing. Or we sell the house. I prefer the Service Company.
I have considered selling....but the housing for old folk is "close" and everyone is a busy body. I don't like that. Not one bit. It's also quite expensive......but they "provide full service".......... It's a Club I don't want to join. But I could ride a Sidewalk Scooter to the Library and Grocery Store. That appeals to me.
Husband is back home... I can stand down.
