This week the landscapers who had placed sod
on dead/dying grass and the ares dug up by the
septic installers, dug up a garden by the front
porch that had died, due to lack of water. They
added new topsoil, planted new plants and then
cover with mulch. It looks lovely. I'm hand
watering it until Robert and I feel well enough
to figure out why the irrigation system isn't
watering that area.
It is clear the economy is still struggling.
When I called the landscaper he was here within
the day and has been working most days since
then getting us in ship shape. He'll be
back Wednesday to mow the law.
I called the arborist and he sent a representative
the same day to determine what we wanted and to
give an estimate and they were here the following
day to do the work.
Likewise, when we had a plumbing problem the
plumber was here the next day and worked all
day to solve the immediate problem and back
at the start of the week to fix the less
immediate problems. And so it goes.
At least, in the flats, it is easy to get help.
Robert has been really miserable this week and
we are both scared. We were going to the VA
on Monday, just to do lab work, but now we
are going to see the oncologist, too. We'll
be at the VA for the lab and see the doctor
sometime after 9:30 AM. I think we'll get
up at 5:30, leave at 6, arrive at 7 and get
the lab work done as soon as possible; then
go get breakfast. Fortunately, although I'm
still in pain, I feel well enough to drive
us to the VA and back! Actually, I feel
very well. I'm just damn sick of hurting.
My forehead and skull are still bright red.
I did get my hair cut this week. What a
relief that was.
I'm distressed at the on-going nasty
campaign! I can't imagine a President
Ryan! What a disaster that would be,
but maybe not as bad as a President
Palin?
I'm looking forward to visits from Robyn,
Alyssum and family and Keating and
family sometime between now and October
first! Lovely!
