Congratulations-(snort!)

We can never anticipate what trials fate will send us, Beth.  With luck this batch of eggs will end up just like the last ones.  It sort of sounds like the birds don't know what to do once the eggs arrive.

Cruel fate also causes  pensioners' paydays to fall on the same weekend as everyone else in the world gets paid. This means that everyone ends up at the grocery store at the same time, along with their children and aging parents.  This may even coincide with Welfare cheques, but I'm not sure. But we were there!

While we were out, the A/C in the car started acting up.   ( 30 degrees with a 36 humidex)  David finally got it up and going again, but we both realize only too well the the warrantee is up on Saturday.  He had planned to take it in for an oil change tomorrow, and will mention it, but we just can't afford a new car right now!  I also remember more fondly, that the last time something like this happened, you were with us Beth, and we were in Fargo!

Then David's poker program started acting up.  In the past I have contacted them and asked for help on his behalf, without any problem.  But today they refused to talk with me, citing privacy concerns.  So I'm now corresponding with them pretending I'm him. Much frustration and not much satisfaction so far, as the information differs on the two computers, and I have to respond to them on his, even though the messages are coming in on mine.

At 4:30, just as we were thinking about finding something for supper, my friend Gail phoned and suggested coffee.  Since I've turned her down the last couple of times she called, I said yes.  She had spent the day looking after her mother.  The lady is 96, and in some sort of care home, but not at the level of care she requires.  She had a nasty fall this morning and Gail got the call to come and take her to a doctor.  The doctor suggested a trip to emergency, and this ended up with x-rays and a CT scan, as she had suffered a nasty bang to the head.  The poor woman can no longer move from her wheelchair to a car seat unassisted, but she's stubborn enough to insist on trying.  I think Gail has just about had enough, but at this point, has no other options.  She just needed to vent a bit, so it was a short coffee, but we both enjoyed it, I think.

But two studio pieces have now been finished.  There is one more on the go, and then it's on to somethign new.  Horay!
