Again, I don’t seem to be posting like I should. I do apologize, but it’s been very busy as well as confusing for me to get Danny and his Hawaiian shirt store fixed and moved. Sometimes I think I’m talking to the cat, as poor Danny has a very limited understanding of some things associated with running an online business. But he tries and that’s the main thing.
This is how confusing it’s been. Today, Friday, both me and Danny woke up thinking it was Thursday. So this has been a really short week for us! I think it’s because we woke up to snow yesterday… good thing we don’t like where it snows a lot or we may miss out on a month at a time!
Today we rode out for a breath of fresh air. We stopped to drop off a laptop to Mom…her computer is being worked on. Dad has a bad cold and feels so bad that Happy Hour has been cancelled. At least she can now check her email. On the way back we dropped of a pot of red tulips, Dad’s favorite flower, as a get well gift. They were just starting to bloom, so he can watch them open up while sitting in his chair.
We had a quick lunch at Seacreast, stopped by the bank, Office Max, Walmart and RadioShack. We’ve started scouting out computers. As much as I hate the thought eventually I’m going to have to upgrade. The old XP system is being phased out. My computer is about 6 years old now and it’s too the point where parts are going to be wearing out. Gosh I hate thinking about upgrading and all that relearning stuff. I have things working like a finely tuned engine now….I’ll be a deer in headlights, I’m sure. So we were on a fact-finding mission. I do a lot of homework before buying usually.
When we were at the thrift store I found a couple of nice blouses for myself. Dan found a few more Hawaiian shirts to add to his inventory. He’s much more selective now, looking for the rare one that will make him independently wealthy I suppose.
When we got home I had a message that my doctor needed to schedule me for something. Since my next appointment isn’t for a month I was anxious to find out what it was. I guess time has slipped by more than I’d thought. It was the aneurism guy wanting a follow-up CT scan on my head already. And silly me, I’d thought it was supposed to be in 6 months instead of 3. So we got all that straightened out. I go March 7. I guess things are coming together like they should.
We were saddened to hear that Stephanie Pecsek Highsmith’s husband, Pat, had died suddenly of a heart attack this week. So sad. I guess we will try to go to the funeral tomorrow – it’s at Blackwater. I hate seeing people so sad. I try to think about what it says in the Bible about the day of death being better than one’s day of birth. To go to glory is the goal; it’s the getting there that’s the burden.
Not long ago we’d heard from our Dodge City guide, Chelsea, from KS. She will be attending UVA soon and we invited her down. I’d told her about my online store when we were there (she is an excellent guide, btw). I recently sent her one of my handmade hats to help her stay warm – they are getting way more snow than us! She sent this photo with her thank you on the back. She’s wearing her work attire.
I will try to add some photos from the birthdays soon. I haven’t forgotten.
