Sunday Morning

There are times whan I get really annoyed with Fred and mostly I say nothing. I figure if he wants to be a stubborn old coot, it is his business and his right. But today I really lost it and let him know what I was thinking.

He is having a lot of trouble sleeping for more than a couple of hours day or night. So I suggested that he might ask Nikki {visiting nurse who will be here on Monday} to ask his doctor for some sleeping pills as a temporary solution and to get his body back into the habit of sleeping all through the night. You would have thought I suggested he ask for cyanide to be taken twice a day until dead! After he had made it quite clear he was not even going to think about it, I lost my cool and used the words “stubborn” and “idiotic” and “man” in the same sentence. His reply? “I am going back to bed now.”

Right!

Well, moving on. I am once again pissed off by Unicel. My phone is set up so that when the money level falls to $10, there is an automatic credit for more added to the account. Well, that is the way it is supposed to be set up. I wanted to make a phone call yesterday and the voice said I had no more money in the account so if I wanted to make a call, I was fu*ked up! Well, not in these words exactly! I called Unicel and was put on hold for 15 minutes on one of those annoying lines where Muzak is played and a voice assures you at regular intervals that your call is important to them. Bah! I am off to their local office tomorrow and since this is the second time this has happened, I will make it quite clear that if they want to keep my {admittedly low} business, it had better not happen again!

OK, there is some good stuff in my life {albeit not a lot. But every little counts, right?}

• At the moment and in this part of Vermont, there is very little snow and it is easy to walk and drive
• This morning I walked for 40 minutes at a brisk pace and had a lovely time. There was sunshine and music and, quite serendipitously, the last music that took me home and up the stairs was the “Star Wars” theme reminding me that I have these movies coming–my first addition to my DVD collection!
• This afternoon, Bill {Fred’s good-hearted and talkative friend} is coming and I can get out for another massage. A few hours away is exactly what I need. The massage is lagniappe…

Until later…
