I didn't have much on my calendar for today, and it's a good thing, because I was busy all day. First the phone rang before 8 this morning. I hate it when that happens. It's usually not good news. Our 7 year old grand-daughter had a bad toothache, and her mom had to go to work and wondered if I could take her to the dentist. Her mom has the papers to apply for medical help for the 2 girls. It's called Hoosier Healthwise here. However she hadn't completed filling them out yet. We don't have any dentists in our town who will take those patients. The closest one is about 30 miles away. Hubby was willing to drive us there. (I haven't driven out of town since I had my stroke.) I could but I'd rather not. Also I have a slight amount of glaucoma, so I prefer to drive in town. I don't drive at night either.
Ella has been to the dentist several times before. She was a good little patient. The only time she complained was when she had to bite down on those little pieces of cardboard for some Xrays. They seemed to think it was just some food stuck between her teeth, so all they did was floss there, and clean. Afterwards we had to stop and get her a milkshake. Hubby drove us home and I gave her some lunch, then I took her back to school. I also dropped off some things at her house, including the rest of her milkshake. It was a large one, and she wanted to finish it later. Then I went to Aldi's to pick up a few groceries for tomorrow's birthday lunch for the 3 older girls. As soon as I got home my daughter who lives next door called to say the tree man was coming and she had to leave to go pick up her daughter at school. So I put my jacket back on and went next door to see what the man had to say about the trees. I think we are going to have 3 of them cut down in early Spring. They are so tall and hang over the 2nd floor bedroom where our grand-daughter sleeps.
Oh, I almost forgot. I had to make several phone calls. Tried to reach our renters, did reach the plumber/handyman who is going to fix the leak under the house. It's not only leaking, it's pouring! The water bills should run around $20. or $30. Last month's bill was $124. and the one that came in the mail today is $178! It will be an expensive fix, but it Has to be done.
So that was my day. Also I fixed supper for my mom, husband and me and did the dishes, and baked a chocolate cake (box mix) for tomorrow's party. And I swept leaves out of the garage. Now I'm writing to all of you. Next I'm going to read my book for a few minutes, then go to bed. I think I'll read my Bible too. I need it after today. Hope tomorrow will be a bit easier and more fun. Happy weekend to all.
