October 4 - 10, 2021 Getting Settled at Home and Getting Things Done!

 Monday (4th) After we did our morning routine we took a walk. Then it was laundry. I also worked on the computer and had to call Apple about malware on my machine. They helped me solve the problem. Next we made a list of all the projects we need to do. I made an appointment to get another steroid sot in my shoulder - I am so tired of it hurting. We picked up a pizza at The Hut - but it was not too great. It may be awhile before we do that again. 

Tuesday - 5th. Today after we got around we drove to OKC about 8:00 AM. Steve had an appointment with the SCI clinic to fill out papers for his drivers license. He also got a flu shot! We were back home by 11;30 AM. After lunch we hauled off two loads of branches to the dump. They looked terrible in the front of the house. We talked to Ben Passow about cutting down our trees in the front yard. They make Steve have an allergic reaction - so we are getting rid of them. Plus they also shed branches and leaves like crazy. No more Sycamore trees. Today we also celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary!

Wednesday. We were up early again this morning. We returned to the VA to see the Pain management doctor. He gave Steve an appointment for November to do the back ablation. We returned home and had lunch followed by a nap. I talked to the tree guy (Ben) and he will be here tomorrow to cut down the trees. I paid some bill. My car has tire pressure monitoring and they all read about26-27 psi - so we checked them with a real tire pressure gauge and they were all at 32 psi - so what about that? Steve worked on the RV TV problem. We cut some weeds back behind the fence because they were pretty tall. No one takes care of the alley and then the water doesn't run through properly when it rains. So we do it. 

With Trees

Thursday (7th) Today Ben Passow was here at 8:00 Am to start cutting don the trees in the front yard. He finished about 10:00 AM and then returned later to grind down our stumps. After lunch we went to Linda's and I got a perm. That usually takes about 2 hours. Then we returned home. After supper we watched TV and relaxed.

Friday (8th) Today we worked out front to clean off our front porch. Steve worked to straighten his small shed. While he did that I worked on the leaves in the back yard. Steve also worked on the RV TV He dismantled the whole thing up front and in the back. Supper was Turkey burgers, oven french fries and berries. 

Saturday I tried to help Steve install the thermostat in the RV. The gas heat still doesn't kick on. We also worked on the TV some more. Later we watched OU beat Texas. Then we cleaned up and took showers. We went to Oklahoma City to meet Kristi and John at Mama Rojas. It is a Mexican restaurant on the shore of Lake Hefner. The food was pretty good and the service was good. It did take quite a while to get the food so we ate a lot of chips! Then we walked around the lake a bit and visited. It was a nice night but pretty windy. John was askingSteve about marrying Kristi - he wanted to discuss it with him before he asks her. 

Yes, it was 94 degrees on Oct 9!

Sunday (10th) Today we watched football. Green bay Packers won and Dallas won. We did walk around the neighborhood. Supper was Hamburgers, beans, and berries. We also got about 3 inches of rain. 

 

Rental Scooter

When we took our walk we saw this scooter  just laying out in the street. The City of Perry has some kind of contract to have these scooters. We are a small town and have a larger older population. Can't you just imagine us older folks riding these scooters? (Sarcasm) I think it's crazy that we have these, but nobody asked for my opinion. Anyway, you won't see me riding one!  And they look unattractive laying in the street!
