good intentions

Really, I had good intentions for today 

    Jackie had an ultrasound scheduled for 1:15 in DeKalb, but I figured we would be home by 2:30  at the latest and I could get a few minutes working on cleaning up the garden.

    Well, I took a little longer than we thought.  Getting her from the wheelchair to the hospital slab was a project!

    It took 4 people to move her and I tell you, the staff at Kishwaukee Hospital is amazing in their kindness, patience, humor, and efficiency.  

    This was a yearly check on her for the urologist.  Nothing wrong, no problems, just a routine check.

    By the time we got home, it was a little after 3, 81 degrees, and I did not feel like doing anything.

    Realize, once we get home it takes 10-20 minutes to get her into the house and settled in her chair.  Since I had rehearsal at 6:30, and it was now past 3:30, I opted to not go outside.

    Good thing too.  Power went out a couple of times, we lost internet several times, our generator kicked on and it was all because of the wind.

    I ended up out on the porch with Beth, enjoying the warm afternoon.  I don't think we will have too many more of these in the next few weeks.

    Tomorrow will be the day to clean up the gardens, pull in some yard ornaments, and maybe put my kitchen kart  unit together that I bought 2 months ago.

    Tomorrow night, it seems to be a time of change.  Cooler, wetter, less windy.

    We'll see.

Peace and Love
