OT September Chit Chat

[Howie]

I figured it was a scam, but did the System Restore to be on the safe side. I had the same thing before a long time ago, and did the same thing this time. My computer is too important to me to take any chances. Better safe than sorry as they say.

If you have good antivirus software running, the chances are you didn't have a virus.

[Howie]

I have two. I didn't think about having them, but that's the whole point, isn't it? To have protection without having to think about it!

Went to the cabinetmaker with. DH yesterday to talk about kitchen cabs and accessibility. I think will only make the island with low counter,low sink and low cooktop and keep most but not all of the rest of the kitchen normal height. This will allow more under the counter storage drawers, otherwise, I would lose one big drawer for every cabinet since the space would be about six inches or whatever shorter.

[agate]

I wouldn't want to sacrifice drawers in the kitchen either! Here I have only 4 very narrow drawers, and after having 4 generous wide drawers and two moderately wide drawers in my other place, I've had problems finding room for things ever since moving. If you keep things like placemats and napkins and dishtowels in your kitchen, there's no way to do that in this one unless you want to stack them on cabinet shelves, and those are already occupied by pots and pans and dishes and food.

HAPPY THIRD ANNIVERSARY to stillstANNding and Peter!

By now he must be back, and maybe you'll celebrate with some pizza? (Wasn't he known as Pizza Guy for a while?)

[Sunshine]

Happy anniversary Ann!

[Frog42]

Happy Anniversary!

[Howie]

Happy happy, joy joy!!!

[stillstANNding]

Thank you guys for your wishes!

Yes, Pizza Guy, is home and I shopped and made a soup that he liked. I had pineapple ready for dessert.

Besides the shopping and standing for over an hour in the kitchen, I also remembered I needed to wash my PT slacks for today. So, I also crammed a load of wash into my schedule. And I paid for it with pain. At 4:27 AM I was still awake.

My PT did massage today and knew exactly what is going on and why. I am very grateful.

It's odd how PTs seem to be among the most understanding people among the medical providers. They seem to get it--at least if they're any good they do.

I've had one or two who didn't get it at all. But I think that in general they have a feel for what's going on as they put us through the various routines. They can tell which muscles are all knotted up, for instance.

I've often heard a PT tell me that this or that muscle was all knotted up. I never even knew.

Happy Anniversary Ann and Peter. Ann, sorry you overdid and had to pay the price.

I have been away a little bit. I was first busy, then I had computer problems. My brother came today and worked on computer. I hope that it is now fixed.

[Howie]

I have been asleep most of the day. I was wakened by someone knocking on my back door. I have a water pipe leaking. Luckily, my next door neighbor does heating and air, and the company has just started doing plumbing, and they are coming tomorrow. My sister is going to foot the bill.

So I'm up, drinking coffee, and going to go look for my flashlight I set down somewhere in all the confusion.

See Sam, you should have gone to plumbing school like I wanted you to. I would have been so proud.....Sam, the plumber.

Please thank your brother for us! People have been wondering about you.

[Howie]

Cat Plumber Daddy found his leak. If I had the little piece where it's leaking, I would fix it now. But I don't even know that it's called. The biggest cost will be for them to come here.

That is junk room number two, and it is a real mess. But I did move things so they can get in to work on it. I guess I need to really clean that room out. What used to be the junk room is finally cleaned out, and is full of car stuff. I could almost build another Pinky, maybe one for Sam.

It's after 12 here.......Happy Friday!
