Diaries

Mostly cloudy today and cool. Temperatures in the low 50’s with a breeze. We go back down into the upper 30’s to low 40’s again tonight.

I cleaned the sink and toilet in my bathroom and I’ve started a load of towels washing.

Guess that’s about all for today.

We had a lot of severe weather in the area last night. Fortunately the worst here was a severe thunderstorm that hit about 7:45 with strong winds, rain, and small hail. I guess it lasted about half an hour. Some folks in the county lost power but thankfully I did not.

oToday is cloudy and cool with temperatures in the mid 60’s and a chance of rain and storms again this afternoon.

This afternoon I’ll get the laundry done. Vicki brought in my mail and checked the traps but no chipmonk.

Partly cloudy today and breezy with temperatures in the low 70’s.

Joyce stopped by yesterday afternoon with my library books. She picked up some pieces of outgoing mail and a book to return.

George ordered the part for the dishwasher which is no surprise will take four weeks to get here. Until then I can run it with a towel on the floor.

Thankfully my surgery date is set for next week.

I was having problems with the front storm door closing all the way shut. Discovered the clip that holds it open on the spring mechanism was not all the way back. Problem fixed.

My home health aid ended last week so taking my showers on my own. It’s not really an issue even on the one leg. I have a shower bench and keep the walker nearby.

James will be here sometime this afternoon to mow.

Sunny and breezy again today with highs in the upper 70’s. A chance of thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.

Still no word from my ortho. The good news is Tim my tech guy picked up a Roku for me at our cable provider and came this afternoon to install it.

Donna is stopping by later this afternoon for a visit and bringing the puppy.

Sunny, breezy, and warm today with temperatures in the lower 70’s.

As I mentioned I saw Dr. Howe last Thursday. I had a call that afternoon from his surgery schedule nurse that my knee replacement date would be June 8th. I called and left a message with his team that I cannot wait another 6 weeks to get my knee replaced. I am still waiting to hear back from them.

Last Thursday before we left for Winston Al ran the dishwasher. A little while after it started running I walked in the kitchen and saw that water was running along the baseboard beside the washer. Al put a towel down to sop up the water. I called George and left a message. He called me back just as we entered Dr. Howe’s office. He was out of town but said he would stop by today.

He was here around midday and has to order a part. I am running the dishwasher again with a towel on the floor to catch the water. The dishwasher is only 5 years old. Guess we will see where this goes.

This morning I fired up my Roku to watch NetFlix. This time it was not the router. I unplugged and plugged in the Roku. No joy. Called Tim. That Roku is at least 10 years old if not older. He said it was the Roku. Since I am housebound plus have not idea what to buy he is going to stop by the local cable company in the morning  to see if they have one in stock and come and install it for me.

The refrigerator is still freezing stuff on the bottom shelf. George said to turn it up one more setting which I did.

Time to jump in a hole and pull the lid in on top of me.
