Called Muckie in the morning and we had one of our hour-long talks. How much I like and admire her and how sorry I am of her illness. She seems to feel pretty well--but not completely; said she's feeling more tired lately. However, she was thrilled at the Lucy Christmas card I sent; said her son actually has a number of keepsakes from "her." Of course, we talked about Betty, as ever, and I described Ellen/s and my visit to her the day after her birthday.
El came at 1:00 and off we went to The Lazy Dog for lunch. I'm afraid I was short with the young hostess, who seemed indifferent and even snide. El mentioned that and I'm sorry I reacted that way. I guess I'm so used to the friendly, courteous, and "up" young servers at Stone Fire Grille, I get impatient if they're not. Anyway, I'm going to practice more patience.
I had a delicious platter of fish and chips, much better than I've had in other restaurants. After a leisurely meal, we went to WinCo and both stocked up on essentials and other items. It was almost 4:00 before we got home and Ellen went to work trying to hook up my new DVD player. However, it just wasn't happening and I think I'll take the damn thing back.
I'm still struggling with getting into this blog--that is, being able to add to it, but finally did. The problem is, I then forget how I did it. I don't want to add the address here, for obvious reasons, but will send it to my email.
Back to T.O.P.S. today and I'm expecting, I'm afraid, a big gain. Okay, I have a plan and see if it works.
