I just didn’t want to get out of bed today. Not that I slept well, but more because it was finally cool! It started to rain last night and did so on and off all night. This morning, it was all misty and damp. And I am so tired.

Trying to keep up with George the “invalid”, has worn me out. I swear that half my work at the office is ‘fetch this!’ and ‘Gemma! Would you please?’ just as I sit down. He gets his arm out of the sling today if the doctor likes how it looks. We finally got all of the cactus out and all the punctures healing up. If he gets free of the sling, George will start physical therapy. Ugh.

Kevin is ready for George to be healthy too. One of the routers decided to be balky. One of the ones Al messed up. Poor Kevin had to go out in the rain and try and fix it. Good thing he didn’t have to climb the tower. However, sitting in a 10×10ft Tuff shed in an electrical storm is no fun. Every third word in one conversation was punctuated by the ‘crash! Boom!‘ of thunder and lightning. Plus, the phone has not stopped ringing. My favorite customer called to ask about his cookies again. What is wrong with this man? I asked Kevin not too long ago and he just rolled his eyes.

I went and spent some money on a new blouse. I’ve got a party to go to this weekend. :) Should be fun. A bunch of people I went to school with are going to be in town visiting family and we are all going to get together.

Well, I can hear George moving about. He has to be to the drs. by noon. Bye for now!

Doctors and dog food and Cat 5e Oh my

August 5, 2008

Today we closed the office as George has to go back to see the doctor. We went out to see if he gets his arm out of the sling. Of course, the appointment came and went. Typical hospital. 25 minutes after we were suppose to be with the doctor, the nurse came out and let us know that the doctor was stuck at the other hospital. So, we get to take a 45 minute drive north. New appointment at 3:30pm. Wheeee… I figure this is revenge for yesterday. We had to go in because more cactus had worked it’s way to the surface. ewwww!

So, we are combining our run north with other chores. One of our clients is having a new phone line run and she wants Cat5e. This way she can have multi use for the line. We are grabbing dog food for another person and an ink cartridge and toilet paper for another customer. With the price of gas, we have tried to make our runs as profitable and useful as we can. I teased George that he could always open up a taxi service if his arm didn’t heal. He just smiled and reminded me that I’m the one driving.

Lunch is over. Guess I’d better get behind the wheel.
