This time it was a heart attack and stroke, all combined. Thank goodness lasis came with me and mostly did the hospital thing. They are now spending a fortune in 12-hour shift aides with no end in sight.
I did not do any of my holiday baking altho I will probably do some and send them out late (but maybe not!!!) I do have to go to the post office with 2 more gifts this week. I'm hoping to send OH - he is used to going and has all kinds of strategies for when to go!!
I have so many projects around the house started - 2 rooms are all upset with started things and they are not getting finished. And what is up with the 9X12 rug rolled up and on the floor of the front hall???? We do not want it and it is too heavy to move. Our only tribute to Xmas, a little light up tree about 2 feet tall is not lighting on the top half. Plus, the end table i used to put it on is now doing another duty so the tree is on the floor next to a plug but of course is not plugged in since the lights don't work. Must make cookies this morning for a barn lunch thingy. omg, 2 sticks of butter and a package of cream cheese, not to mention the sugar and chocolate chips. The sad part is that they are really good and I will probably eat several of them.
How many times must OH say, "Where's my corgi?" ???? He is in love with kb's puppy!! I will try to put a picture of him up if i ever download them from my camera.
I do not want to go to this lunch today. Plus, I did not do my rda care-taking this weekend due to hanging out with W most of Saturday (much nicer I must say). He showed off his fabulous clicker skills to his pasture mate's owner and her niece. What a cute little girl! She was all giggley because W was nosing her all over looking for treats.
It is getting light out now. Must make SF reservations today!!! I want to see my babies!

i really meant it but
I just can't apply for the library shelving job!!! I went there very determined but just a couple of questions to the circulation guy solicited such a sad stream of complaints from him. The pay, the people, the administration who don't care about the branches, etc. No thanks. Plus, I looked around for about 30 minutes and could not find one book I was interested in. I took out a library card but left without using it. One book about horses (mustangs), no movie I cared about, only a level 3 French language tape, NO free computer to even check the catalog!!!! I could not wait to escape from the building. I forgot how much I can't stand the jr high age crowd. I can't stand the way libraries like that are all geared to kids and people who just want the popular novels. I used to love hanging out in the storage floor at my old library - they had such a fantastic collection of every old book and magazine. Sadly, they had to weed so much of it - I am glad I was not there to see it.
So OH was kind of relieved that I came back disgusted and said, "I'll apply for SS and share the money with you!" That made me laugh since there is really no question of sharing per se. Anyway, I'm still planning to keep my riding since it is the only thing I have ever done for myself and I am definitely going to RI this summer. I don't mind going by myself if I have to. I can rent a car and stay at Bonnet with whoever is at the house. A stack of books, a beach chair and that's all I need. Of course OH will come (not really caring about going to the beach) but maybe I can stay longer on my own and set my own schedule.
I have to do a ton of baking this week to send everything out before Xmas. I am rapidly losing interest in doing it though. Plus, I forgot all about that when I bought my mailing boxes so will have to go and buy some just for that.
Oh why did I get up at 4:15 a.m. this morning????? Anyway, I am making plans to go to SF in January. I tried to figure out a Florida schedule for the 3 of us for 2009 but it seemed to complicated. If lasis goes at least twice that would be great and since risis goes every 6-7 weeks, and I go 4 times, that should cover it. The only problem is that there are some months that no one wants to go or can go, esp towards the end of the year. It is pointless to even try to plan it though since 2 of my one-week visits this year turned into a much longer stay.
