Ouch, electrical problems can be hard on the wallet. Did you have to hire an electrician or did you know someone who could do the work? I wonder sometimes what the person who originally wired our place was smoking. It isn’t dangerous, just weird. Rooms at opposite ends of the building are on the same circuit.
Lol. Nadine lost some of her interest in learning how things were done in “the good ole days” when the amount of real labor involved became clear. She still like going to historical fairs to WATCH how things were done. She would practically live at the library if she didn’t have her own computer and access to the web. Kay is chomping at the bit while she learns all the hotkeys needed for blind people to be on the web.
What kind of rosemary did you snag, Carrie. Prostrate rosemary is more tender than the bush variety. I’ve heard of gardeners growing the bush type in ground in zone 7. (In a protected area, I’m sure.)
We grow paperwhites in the ground for whatever that is worth. I even found some growing wild on the edge of the woods. A squirrel or something must have stolen some bulbs and forgot where he buried them.
I don’t think my GP would sign off on a motorized wheelchair. He is a firm believer in his patients doing as much as they can for themselves for as long as they can. On the level I have no trouble with a self-propelled w/c. Pulling myself up hills is tough!!!. The doctor found some things he didn’t like at my checkup yesterday. I have a CT scan tomorrow and an ultra-sound on Friday. I had my flu shot today. I’ve never gotten seriously sick from a flu shot, but I always feel grouchy and tired for that first 24 hours or so afterward.
Kay says she has to change her orange and blue Auburn Tigers fan fall flower bed colors to the red and white of the Alabama Crimson Tide because GD#1 chose to attend the University of Alabama. She is making a list of plants that bloom red or white during football season. lol.
