[My] Life in Wisconsin

Timing is everything!



Pretty, no?


Good Morning All;

When Kelli and Tim's house was razed, I took a few breaks to come home and hang clothes on the line.  Just 2 loads, nothing much. Towels. Jeans.
I forgot all about them when I got back home.

As luck would have it, yesterday was another day of getting nothing constructive done, though I had good intentions, dreams, of getting the lawns cut decent. Oh, would that I could move enough to get that done.
But hey, I did get my garbage and recycles down to the end of the driveway yesterday morning.

I'd woken at midnight.
Unable to go back to sleep, I was determined to get all of my photos from the demo posted to the Flickr website. One or two at a time I did get them there. And got them in the "Kelli" set. I even mapped them out.  I then sent all the info to Kelli.


Last night, the weatherman called for more rain overnight. Some storms that could possibly be significant too.
I chanced to peek out at my now darkened clothesline.  At that point, I could only see my housecoat and a pair of jeans.
Uh~Oh.


I promptly went back to sleep, figuring I would retrieve my towels in the rain today. I don't have a yard~light in back by the clothesline; although the light from the back entrance would have provided enough light.
So.
Truth be known I was too tired and lazy, and too much pained to be bending over and picking up anything.

Waking this morning, I let Punk outside. 
Then remembered my clothesline. I went out at first light.
It had not yet rained!
My towels had been blown down, as had a blanket. As I started to grab them, it began to rain.

Like I said, timing is everything.

Casey and Greg had come out Monday night after I had defragged my computer. As it did the defragmentation, it also removed a few programs.
Wordpad for one. I save my "thoughts" from various websites as I am reading news, etc- Then, suddenly, all of my thoughts were gone! I was robbed! By pushing that darn button, I robbed myself! hehehe

"Oogah Boogah", Greg will fix all. (AND, he will speed up my computer as well). 
Such faith I have in Casey's young man!

So out they came that evening... (Just what Greg wants to be doing after working all day programming computers).
He said almost nothing as he began to work on this... this... this... 'machine' of mine...

Having to upload a new copy, he restored my Wordpad. (Greg, I don't care if it is in Spanish, I need to brush up on my skills in that language anyway). hehehe

He even restored my old Solitaire game; again by uploading a new one.
This one in French! (I know next to nothing of that language, but Lord knows I have played enough Solitaire to know what button says what). hehehe

(If you have dialup, you know why I need Solitaire).

Casey drove out then yesterday, bearing Jimmy Johns sub sandwiches for lunch!!! Mmmmmmmm!
(If you have never had a Jimmy Johns sandwich, you have no idea what you are missing)! 
They are SO good.

Casey and I ate, then watched a bit of TV And I promptly fell to sleep on her-  Oops.  (In my defense I had been up since midnight).
She had just left me a note that she was leaving. And that she had fed the pup her supper.
A smooch and a hug, and she was on her way home!

5 short minutes later she returned...
She had brought my garbage/recycle bins back up the driveway. (Yeah, I'd forgotten about them too). She tried to call. And that is when she decided to come back inside.
Seems as though my phone was disconnected.
WHAT?!

Though I haven't even tried to get online this morning, I suppose it is off; as I cannot even recall the last check I'd written to the phone company. Crap. I will drive to Pulaski soon  and get that taken care of.
Knock on wood, at least I still have electricity... hehehe

*************

Good Late Morning now...
I'm B-A-C-K!!!!!!

CaseyAnne is still feeling poorly- It takes a while, (could even be a few weeks), some say for her blood to make her feel even a little better.

A note she had sent this morning:
"
I don't know if you'll get this with the phone situation, but I hope you do!
I've been up since 2, my migraine woke me, and I decided to take a Cafergot about an hour ago...
I am hoping it lets me sleep for a while- Hoping also that sleep will make this go away...
Must be the weather, you were right: it is raining! It's been the only thing keeping me calm as I can hear it on the roof. Not as nice as your tin roof sound, but still calming. 

Kelli called last night, she was going to stop over and see you after realizing that your phone was out. She was quite worried! I assured [her] that everything was fine, we just didn't realize that it was out before the phone company closed up for the day.
I will try to make it out there today when I wake up, it shouldn't be too late. I do have a chiro appointment, but that's not until around 5 so it gives me plenty of time :D

You were sleeping so well yesterday that I didn't want to wake you up...
I hope it wasn't me that woke you, you did grind your teeth a bit, and I stifled a laugh when I told you about it as your response was "Good!" LoL!

Well, I will call/email or just come over when I wake up... Hope your migraine subsided for you and you got a good night's sleep...

Love you MUCH MUCH!
~CaseyAnne


So what does she do instead of going to sleep? She calls in and pays my darn bill.
Imagine my surprise as I was typing this onto my (foreign) wordpad and my phone rang!
Casey had paid my bill and now I will run to the credit union and make good on that for her.

Still raining as I type.
I am happy that nothing leaks.  ~Not even me! 

Love to all

XOXO
