I have no DSL. It was out when I got home last night, an outage over a wide area from Albany to Troy up through here, and was supposed to be back within 4 hours. No. Still off, as far as I can see. Tho I will call to check. If mine is out, then L's will be out at work, and that always makes him whine. He conducts a lot of business by email and we receive a lot of orders that way.
It is raining, quite hard at times, and the wind is strong. I did not enjoy our walk. Not one bit. I heard the rain throughout the night and dreaded our walk as I lay there. Other vague worries began to get in and then I thought I heard a young M, standing at the head of my bed, say, 'Mama.' I got up after that. Figured I just should.
So with no DSL, I should get all my morning chores well taken care of! Dishes, wash my hair, wash Bella with vinegar, which she truly hates.
A truck came with a delivery yesterday and as I was letting the driver out the front door, I noticed the mail and while I never usually get it, I felt prompted to get it, and to look at it, and lo and behold there was something there for me, a big blue envelope from the UK. "Royal Mail" in fact. It is a Christmas card from my friend MR and it cheered me greatly to see it. I have hung it up with my other cards (all 2 of them) I have already received this year. What a delightful surprise. And I can't even tell him because the DSL is down.
The weather is quite weird and extreme. It is supposed to get colder and snow most of tomorrow into Friday. That could mean no choir and that is fine with me. I am already exhausted and it is only Wednesday morning. I felt so stiff and old and cranky as the dogs and I walked this morning. Apparently L spent a good part of Sunday trying to get his Saab in my driveway started, but he couldn't. He even tried to remove the battery so as to replace it and the alarm went off. Apparently I was home as all this went on and I was clueless! He thinks it may need to be towed. He really needs to deal with it today if indeed snow is in the forecast for tomorrow.
Our work dinner is tonight and I hope the rain has let up by then. I have had quite enough of walking in it and I haven't even walked to work yet. I don't even want to drink tonight, I am so tired and I feel like it would only exhaust me further. But J will expect me to have a drink with her, unless she is driving. I know they have to drive Leigh home, if Leigh even shows up. She has been odder and moodier than usual and I think something is up with her.
Anyway, end of the line here.
