Mostly sunny today with temperatures in the upper 70’s and breezy.

I did take the trash bag out to the street this morning.

This afternoon I changed the sheets and did a few odds and ends in the kitchen. Other than that not much else going on.

Mostly sunny today with temperatures in the upper 70’s and breezy.

I cleaned the sinks and toilets in the two upstairs bathrooms and took down the shower curtains to wash with the load towels.

After I did my exercises and iced the knee I went out to fill the bird feeders.

That’s about the extent of the days activities other than another round of exercises or two and icing.

Sunny with temperatures in the low 70’s and breezy.

Tina is coming for a visit this afternoon from Pilot Mountain. She is picking up pizza on the way for our lunch.

While waiting for her to arrive I did the laundry and tidied up the kitchen.

Tornado activity all around the area last night but thankfully I only had heavy rain totally another 2 inches or more before the storms moved out sometime early this morning.

Today is sunny and warm today with temperatures in the low 70’s. We may get another round of rain showers late this afternoon or early evening.

I did walk out to the mailbox this morning and filled the bird feeder. Pratt stopped by with a library book but otherwise it will be a quiet day.

The plan for today was for me to walk out to the mailbox this morning now that I am on the cane.

However, the weather is nasty with rain, fog, and chilly temperatures. So, my neighbor texted me she would get my mail in for me which was very nice of her.

PT is coming later this afternoon.

Chilly today with temperatures in the low 60’s. Very foggy this morning but now the sun is trying to come out.

Amanda, the PT supervisor, came this morning to take the staples out and put on the steristrips. I then transitioned from the walker to the cane. We walked around in the house several laps then did my standing exercises at the kitchen island.

While I eating lunch I had a baby rabbit walking along the natural area in front of the porch from the woods side. As long as we have lived here I have never seen any rabbits. It did not stay long before it turned around hopped back along the porch and out of my sight from the window so not sure where it came from.

James is mowing today because he is going out of town tomorrow for the weekend.

I had another 2 plus inches of rain over night. Today is cloudy with temperatures in the upper 50’s and cloudy. We may see some sunshine off and on this afternoon.

George arrived at 8 this morning with one of his helpers. He replaced the outlet in the garage my freezer is plugged into from a GFI to a regular one. While he worked on that his helper pulled the dishwasher out. They turned it upside down to see were the plug I found on the floor went.

He replaced and taped the plug to see if that will hold until we get the part he ordered. He also discovered something in the wiring that may also have caused the problem with the leaking.

I texted Pratt this morning to see if she was going into town today. She picked up a prescription for me and dropped it off this afternoon.

Cloudy with rain, heavy at times today. So far I’ve had almost an inch for the day.

The refrigerator repairman came this morning. He replaced the sensor. As he said; hopefully that will fix the problem. If not, it will be something in the electronic board. We will know in a couple of days if the fridge temp gets and stays above freezing.

PT came this afternoon. We had a good session.

Sunny and warm this morning with temperatures in the mid 70’s. Chance of rain/storms again this afternoon. They went around me here at the house yesterday.

After the returned from running errands they dug weeds and grass from the natural areas along the porch and driveway until time to stop to go get takeout for dinner.

This morning Al vacuumed upstairs and down and cleaned my bathroom shower, toilet, and sink. While he did that I dusted.

They left a little after noon to head back down the mountain.

Sunny and warm with highs in the low 80’s. Chance of rain/storms this afternoon.

While Frances and Al are out running errands for me I am doing the laundry. They had a couple of places they wanted to stop at for themselves along the way to the drug and grocery stores and library for me.

My freezer in the garage is plugged into a GFI outlet. For about the third time a power surge tripped the outlet and turned off my freezer. When Al went to their freezer packs in there last evening all my food was spoiled. So, He had to clean up all the melted raw meat mess in the freezer. Fortunately, did not have a lot in there. Stunk to high heavens.

I am going to get George to change the outlet to a regular one before I load up the freezer with food again.
