I'm tired, but a quick update. I plugged all the wires in where they are supposed to go for my new DSL modem. I wasn't expecting it to work since it's not supposed to work till tomorrow, but I tired it. Then I took Mom to a dr.'s appointment today. We did our usual pre-trip bickering. After her appointment, we stopped in the hospital's gift shop, and Mom bought some plush stuff. Since I hadn't had anything to eat yet, I bought some cheese popcorn for myself that I ate driving Mom home.
Sat and relaxed for a bit before going to buying some dinner from a deli for us. After supper Fawn was going crazy barking and I got up to look at what she was barking at. A *very* late mailman delivering Mom's mail (at 6:45). Well, I was just turning around to tell Fawn it was ok and be quiet when some flashing lights caught my eye. I looked out again and an ambulance and fire truck double parked right in front of Mom's house. I stayed and watched as they went into a house across the street (A friend of Mom's lives there).
Well, I told Mom about this, she grabbed a shawl and sat on her unheated porch watching. I went inside and started her supper dishes. She came in and told me they took her friend away in the ambulance. No idea what happened. I do know that lady had a double whammy maybe 6 months ago suffering a nearly simultaneous stroke and heart attack which she was recovering from. I hope it's nothing that serious this time.
Well, to end on a much lighter note. If everything goes according to plan, I should have a broadband connection by this time tomorrow night. yay. :)
::::hearing a star trek joke on the radio::::::: Oh, yeah, that joke reminds me of some trivia. I'm a fan of the TV show Heroes. And George Takei made a guest appearance. If you looked close enough you could see the licence plate to his car was NCC 1701. I'll just leave it at that. I have a feeling more than one of you reading this will get it without further explanation.
Ok, I'm going to hunt up a snack for myself then call it a night. |
