I pulled up the shade and saw a white thing fly by. The forecast is for the 40"s for the next week. Not much better in Chicago either. Thankfully I have my new insulation, and I'm snug as a bug in a rug!! I even had to turn down the furnace yesterday afternoon.
The crew arrived at 8:10 a.m. Their were four of the them, and they sure knew what they were doing. They put down drop cloths all the way through the house, and left the house just the way they found it....well at least on my level, I'm pretty sure the attic looked different. By 12:45 they were done and out the door. I got up and got dressed right away, so I was ready to greet them.
I filled the Halloween bags in the afternoon, and have them ready to take to Jimbo's tomorrow night. I also addressed my cards and they are ready to take to the post office and add stamps to them. (If someone will take me). I also have the bags ready to take to Chicago with me.
Tom has volunteered to pick me up in Milwaukee, so I spent some time figuring out what time the train get's there and which depot (Milwaukee has two) and where it is. I don't know if the time schedule is going to work or not yet....but one way or the other I will be spending the weekend with Tom and his family. If he can pick me up in Milwaukee, it gives me more time to visit with him. Years ago, when doing the "Valuing Your Sexuality" program I told parents that riding in the car was the best time to talk....because they couldn't get out and walk away. lol Anyway I'm looking forward to talking all weekend with whomever.
Speaking of talking, I did get a call from Aunt Loretta and talked for at least 1/2 hour or more. I love talking to her, and she sounded so much better than when I talked to her a few weeks ago when I thought it was her birthday. She told me about the surprise birthday party for her, and how surprised and happy she was. The whole phone call she sounded happy. She didn't cough once, and the last time she was coughing all the way through the conversation.
Today, I need to get a few more things for the Halloween bag of William, cause he can't eat the chocolate or peanuts. I also have to get more candy to hand out on Halloween, cause I ate the whole bag of snickers, and I also need stuff to snack on on the train. I need to eat every couple of hours to gain back the weight I always lose the week of chemo.
This afternoon, I will do Qigong by phone again. Since finding volunteers hasn't been successful for this, Sheila suggested we do the phone version, and it works for me. So other than that, I don't have any plans....maybe pack and put back together the closet I had to empty to get the insulation guys into the attic in the back bedroom. I better get moving. Love and Prayers, m
