Busy, busy

Cathy, I'm so glad it went well for you.  I know you were concerned.  I didn't realize that Rrain had written the second one you're doing.  She is certainly making her mark on the community.Good for her!  She deserves some good times.

We have been working on mutual Power of Attorney.  With getting older, and inevitable medical problems, it is past time we took care of that. The lawyer has promised that it will be done before my surgery.  We also talked about a medical Advance Directive for me.  The lawyer referred me to a provincial government site that had the information and forms to do it myself.  I've spent sometime talking to both David and Loren, about it, as I will be listing them to act consecutively on my behalf, should that become necessary.  Seeing the lawyer required a trip downtown to Portage and Main, parking under Winnipeg Square, and finding an office on the 25th floor of the Trizec Building.  Sometimes it pays to act the confused old woman, as, after asking for directions twice, while leaving, we ended up being escorted by Security from the main floor of Trizec down through the elevators, and the concourse, to the parkade.

My Tuesday Stitchery group is coming over on Tuesday, which means frantic clean up the house activity. David and I were looking at our carpets, and discussing getting a machine to clean them, yesterday.  He finally said to call someone and see if we could get them cleaned on Monday.  Well, we had a little fridge magnet with a number on it, so I called.  Sure, they could come on Monday.  They could come "today, if you're available"  I said sure and gave them the address.  He says " We'll be there in half an hour"  So a frantic get the house ready for them and David goes off to get some cash to pay them. Of course they tried desperately to "up sell" us, but in the end cleaned the carpet just fine and for a reasonable price.  Then we had to transfer our current wine to the carboy from the primary. This is a small batch of elderberry wine, so what  was in the primary included elderberries and chopped raisins.  Yuck!  We had it fermenting in the kitchen, as the basement is too cold right now. So after it was all transferred, we ( the royal "we") had to wash the kitchen floor.  Needless to say, after all this excitement, the royal "we"had a good nap in his easy chair.

Today was a quieter day.  Thank Goodness.
