What a Week

Glad to see this week coming to an end.  However the weather is still beautiful. Cooling down at night and in low 80's  during the day. Perfect walking weather, but only walked a little bit on last Monday. A few ladies here in the community are try to get a walking group together. How ever they don't walk very far yet and they walk a little later in the day. I walked with them this week. But I think I and my regular walking friend will continue to try to walk in the Wetlands ourselves. Right now I have a corn on the ball of one foot that is quite uncomfortable. Need to try to get rid of it. Getting old is such fun. 

I was walking through this room early the other morning and was startled by the reflection on the wall...took me a bit to figure it out. It was the rising sun through the kitchen window with a shadow of one of the pumpkin sun catchers in the window. A perfect set of circumstances, have not seen it since. 

After my short walk on Monday Bill and I went to one of the big Mexican grocery stores here. El Super, it is amazing. Bill especially likes the bakery. We always buy more than we should. 

The cakes are tempting, but don't need one. 

He likes their freshly made, usually still warm, tortillas. 

Tuesday morning we had a spectacular sunrise.

The phone camera doesn't do it justice. But at least I was in a good mood for a while that day.

It went to heck from there. Bill had an appointment with the doctor who is supposed to do the laser surgery on his eye. Yah, that worked out well. Got to the office, stood in line then managed to get through all the check in on the kiosk. Sat and waited about 20 minutes, they called us up to the desk. The receptionist smiled and said, " You don't have an appointment."  Yes we do. "With which doctor?" I told her. Oh, he isn't in this office, he is next door in the other office. OKAY So over to next door we go. Stood in line and waited to do all the check in on the Kiosk again. Sat down waited, waited. Desk calls his name, here fill out this form. The form was strange, that should have been my first clue. It was asking about drooping eyelids ??? Gave it back filled out. Waited another 45 minutes to be called in the room. Nurse mentions drooping eyelid. We say no we're here about laser surgery. Oh, no this doctor only does drooping eyelid. You need to go next door for laser surgery !!!!!!!!?????????? Back we go. Explain mix up. Receptionist is very nice. When I called for appointment, the clerk saw Bill had seen eyelid doctor and made appointment with wrong doctor. Even though I'd told her laser surgery and they had the referral for that.  Any way, showed her copy of referral. First appointment he can get is Dec 30th. No, no, no. So she found one end of this month WAY across town. We took it. She will call us if there is a cancellation. 

A couple of pictures of the full moon, I usually don't remember to go out and look. 

But back to Tuesday. After we were home for a while, I used the facilities in my bathroom. Heard some gurgles and up came the water in the bathtub. Well not really water... So checked our home warranty, they would not cover drainage problems that involve cleanouts or pulling toilet. So called plumber we've used before. He was here in a couple of hours. Could not clear the problem Said he might have to pull toilet, but first would check to see if there was a cleanout in the back of the house. We had no idea. So out he goes, comes back in smiling yep there is a cleanout under the house in the back. He said it looks like it has never been cleaned out, so he would come back the next day with the big equipment and do it. Okay.

Mean while I finished this quilt. Two down three to go. 

Plumbers came back the next day and everything is working fine now. Thank goodness. 

This is a different one. 

So now another week. And I'm  working on another quilt.
