Day 200

I am feeling a little better today.  Not 100%, but better than the last 2 days.  That was good because today was a work day.  We started out with the house.  I asked Ellen if she wanted to dust or vacuum.  She chose vacuum.  So I spent three hours dusting everything and then cleaning the kitchen.  To top it off I moved some stuff to the trailer and then staged some other things to go over there.  Since I wasn't 100%, I was tired by the time we got done.

When Ellen finished with the vacuum she decided she had a bladder infection.  So she called the doctor.  Fortunately she got an appointment in an hour and a half.  So we went off to the post office, lunch at Sonic, and the doctor.  After the doctor it was over to Walgren's for some drugs.

As we were turning into the cul-de-sac my phone rang.  It was the alarm people saying that the motion detector in the house had gone off.  Ellen had turned on the alarm even though we hadn't locked up the cats.  We told them to ignore it.  When we got home the alarm was going off.  The dog was frantic.  She didn't calm down for half an hour.  The cats were just pissed.

When we got home we kind of rested for about half an hour and then met Lola to talk to her about looking out for the house.  That's when I discovered that the outside keypad didn't accept her code.  So I got out the instructions and programmed it.  We paid her in advance because she's going on a trip next week.

After that we finished up the wash, sat for a while more, and then went to Trudy's for dinner.  It was really crowded, but we were in and out in an hour.  When we got home it was cooler, so we moved a whole lot more stuff to the trailer.  There's still a lot to go, but we did put a dent in it.

While I was dusting I found the file box with the 2006 records in it.  That's right, two years before we retired.  Ellen is running it through the shredder right now so that I can take the results out to the garbage.
