I found the kitten using a search on “stripy kitten pictures.” Felt like something different this morning!
Off to the gym in a few minutes. This week is full of appointments.
I guess that’s better than being full of disappointments.
This has been one of the worst laundry days I’ve experienced in a long time. I stood in that cold air for 30 minutes, waiting for Robert to come and open the door. The clubhouse is supposed to open at 0700.
I was there at 0640, as Robert usually comes early for me, and opens it. That gives me a little jump on the day for the other things I have to do.
About 0650, I heard some noise inside, and walked around to see one of the maintenance men’s truck. I knocked on the maintenance door to no avail. So I walked back up, and one of the neighbors came up the walk with a coffee cup in his hand. He asked if it was open (yes, I just wanted to punish myself) and he went back and woke up his neighbor, Robert.
In the meantime, I walked back around to the maintenance door and Mike was coming out. I asked him if he could please open the door so I could do the laundry. “That’s not my job.” Gr-r-r-r-r.
Robert finally came, and me being who I am, I didn’t get on his case. I got the laundry done, but standing out in the cold for 30 minutes did my back no good. Since it was clothing and not bedding, I didn’t dry them, as I was anxious to get home and take another morphine.
I waited for the pill to work, about 30 minutes, and then went in to hang the clothes on the drying rack for undies and hangers for outerwear. By the time I was done bending and stooping, the pain was so bad I was shaking and couldn’t straighten up.
Wednesday is my pain clinic appointment and I have to fill out the papers to get started on the lower back.
I went to Walmart to get a couple of things (using up the freebie coupons I had, and Walmart was packed. Ungh. I had two coupons for “up to $4.00” on Smucker’s products, so I bought some jams and some hot fudge sauce for my little ice cream cups when I’ve been a good girl! :o] I thought she would take the price off of two items, but she filled in $4.00 on each coupon and took that off my bill! WHOA!!!
(And by the way, the steroid went up $4 when I got it on Friday.) It had been going down for the last two years. *sigh*
