Tuesday Morning

Well Monday was quite different to start the day as we had no internet and it was on only occasionally through out the day. I finally called WOW and a technician came by around 7'ish and said the initial install was done using our old outdated wiring and it was breaking down so she set me up  for a re-wire this morning around 10-12. So I sat and read until it was time to head out to the Rec. on my bike for two hours of pickle ball. I left the Rec. with a wet shirt and worn out.

It's so weird when you lose the internet as all of your routines and interest in the outside world is shut off. We did have cable TV but neither of us watch the tube until after supper unless Eliza Faye watches it sometimes after lunch when its too hot to go outside and ride her bike. I worked in the garden after hanging a load of laundry as the air was quite warm with a breeze; perfect for drying the flannel sheets which we have changed out now that cold weather has passed us by for another winter.

Nancy was off shopping so I settled into catching up on some honey do's and then I was able to get on the internet for about 10-20 minutes at time before it would fail. I'm surprised this morning its working while I make this post. We are having a busy day today as we are scheduled for our furniture to be delivered after lunch around 2'ish and then of course the new rewire. I suppose I will have to get in the attic and start removing items so the tech's can string a new wire through the insulation and all of the stored items. This will be a real issue but I'm sure they have some methods of replacing the old wire, oh well. It's not supposed to cost me anything as the initial install was less than two months ago and they used the old wiring. Lets hope so.

Amy and Eliza came for lunch and Nancy made a delicious guacamole with fresh cilantro from the garden, so tasty. Afterwards I headed into the reading room and cat napped and read for a couple hours after the hard work out on the courts. I spoke with Paw Paw and he sounded good as did Nancy's mom GG. We spoke with our "mountain mom" Helen and she sounded good but said the rain was ever present over the weekend. I also called the Browning's on top of the mountain and they were doing good as well despite the cold winter. I'm starting to get cabin fever and longing for the hills as the weather here is starting to heat up with humidity.

We tuned into the FOX News channel after supper and then the Olympics until it was time to hit the shower for me around 9'ish. I stayed up and watched some events then it was horizontal lab for me at 10, LATER
