Had a busy day. A few years back I would have considered it a boring day. What a difference a few years makes when you get in the 90's.
Went down for Bible study, back to go for lunch, home to rest and read, eyes closed for about half an hour, then down for book signing and purchase from our former Pastor. Then home all worn out. I have a light supper in the microwave and then I am through for the day. Tomorrow will be a "do nothing" outside the house. Inside my plants are saying, "'WATER ME !"
Now I am going to eat some supper and close down the computer, read and sleep. Good night dear hearts, my Love,hugs and prayers are coming out to you all. June

Shirley, re Uber rates - if an area is busy, they have surges. Probably when the Sam's greeter called Uber, it was from home and in a low surge area, but when he called them from the airport, things were busy, therefore in a high surge area. Tom occasionally drives for Uber and they have days and/or nights that are more busy than others. Especially after a concert or like activity, rates will be higher. There are times when things are dead and rates are too. If you see the greeter again, you can explain it to him - and it's perfectly fair.
Tom had a birthday Monday and he's been celebrating ever since. Tonight we went to Dot's for supper. Tom does most of the cooking here so I know it was nice for him to get a home cooked meal that someone else cooked. Tomorrow we will go to Jan's for another birthday celebration. I am sure he'll have something to do on Friday too. As I recall, my birthday was celebrated on the installment plan too.

Well, it's official! I've become a "lie-about". AllI do is lie about and do nothing! I sure hope tomorrow is more productive than today was! I sure don't see how it could become less productive.
When I had one of my knee surgeries, it was mid-winter and my daughter was concerned that I'd get cold just sitting around. (she knows I keep the thermostat kind of low). So she sent me a thermal blanket with a fuzzy side and a smooth side from LLBean. I love it but if you ever get one, be aware. When they sew those two sides together, they stuff them full of zzzzs and there's no way they can get out unless they're touching skin. and when they touch skin, it's lethal. YOU SLEEP! Resistance is futile! Maybe I should take it to bed with me at night?
I've slept, fed the dogs and myself, answered some messages, filled out a survey for my personal care clinic and if there was something hollering for doing, I might even do it. You notice I said "might"!

Maybe it was trying to warn you that you were using another browser 
What it was telling me was that Edge had picked up a virus in the two days since the last scan.

Jenny, I am so pleased to hear how well your father is doing. I don't want to upset you but my father was the same and because he was alone after all the help from PT, OT, etc., ended, he slipped into just sitting, his muscles shriveled up and a year or so later, was
helpless, had to be lifted in & out of a wheelchair. Broke my heart. I hope Diane is strong enough to keep him strong, make him work those muscles and continue exercises. We all thought Dad would be back to his old self and in spite of my brother & sister visiting him every day, they didn't insist he do the exercises and did everything for him. Lesson learned, no easy way to keep strong, but we must. After all your "repairs", Jenny, I'm sure you know this and also know all you can do is encourage. I hope by knowing that Diane needs him, he will choose to stay strong. God Bless... tell him we are all rooting for him!
Gloria de..... I don't know if I've posted since you explained about your recent problems.... but you do have my sincere sympathy for the pain and distress of each day. You have a great attitude and outlook, an inspiration for sure.
Larry, yesterday I visited with a "greeter" at Sam's Club, he was upset about calling Uber to go to the airport for "stand by", plane was full so called for Uber to take him home..... the price was double what he paid to go, same distance. Are prices set by each driver or set fees? He said he objected but didn't do any good. Are you allowed to ask for a particular driver each time? Reason I ask is we never know when we will need rides, we had a scary cab ride once, I would have not gotten in the vehicle if Cas had not been along... don't remember the city, but needed to be at the airport without delay. A very dirty cab, smelled awful, but the driver smelled worse (of booze). I don't think I've been in a cab since. I'm sure your son is a very considerate driver & has me thinking....
I didn't sleep in this morning, woke up at 5:00, lay in bed until near 6:00, fed cats & myself, sprayed myself for bugs & out working in the yard until about 10:30. After a shower & washing my hair, we all ate again and I tried to nap but didn't succeed. Still have more yard work to do in the morning, more "cuttings" to get into the dumpster before the mower comes. The humidity is so high it's hard to stay out very long... sweat was dripping off my face. I'd love to find a husband/wife team that could just do jobs we always did ourselves.... Anyone I've talked to gets a glaze over their eyes & prices start going up before they open their mouth. Can't get a price per hour & know for a fact that people that worked for my daughter started racking up prices as they worked, every movement was an extra cost. I hate being taken advantage of... & had it happen more than once this summer already. Whine-whine....
Time to eat & feed cats again, I'd love to have a little shower (or big one) to cool things down. I was moaning about my electric bill until talking to the lady across the fence this morning.... my bill was half what hers is (about same size houses) & we had our thermostats set on the same. These extra heavy, dark tinted storm windows do help.... but 4 people in their house coming & going so that makes a difference. I did change all my lights to LED after Cas died and noticed a big difference doing that.
