I finally have internet. No TV and no internet when I arrived home on Wednesday afternoon. AT&T tried to fix the problem over the phone, but finally sent someone out before Noon today to fix a wire that had become disconnected in a box that sits in back of the properties here.
You might remember the problems I've had trying to determine how I got onto a BP&Weight monitoring site (Hiji). I have sent them numerous emails, and told them my son discovered that someone in Georgia was using my email to open an account at their site. I received this from them today:
"I believe at some point you entered your email address to create an account. It might have been at the Station, online at higi.com, or on our mobile app. I went ahead and deleted this account for you. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns."
I wrote them a blistering letter telling them they owe me an apology for such an insulting email. They suggested that I was either a liar or senile when I kept repeating I had nothing to do with getting an account on Hiji. To anyone reading my blog, I would suggest staying away from those machines in pharmacies. Buy yourself a blood pressure monitor and you won't ever need to rely on a shady operation like this one seems to be.
My plane left White Plains, NY on Wednesday at 7:00 am. The skies were beautiful, streaked with pink, and it was just before the sun was up and shining. I had a fairly long layover in Chicago but I didn't mind since I could leisurely walk between terminals, have a beer at one of the pubs, and mostly sit and read my book along with people-watching.
I took these photos last night when the sun was going down: I know, same old, same old, but it's new and beautiful to me every time!
(As usual, please click on a photo to enlarge).
I think I may have mentioned that I intend to start eating a hi fat, lo carb diet, and this morning I enjoyed two slices of thick bacon and two eggs. I was lost without some kind of bread, but looking at a bag of "Texas Toast" croutons, I discovered they are so low in carbs and sugar as to not matter, so I threw a handful of them onto my plate. It's amazing how a breakfast without sugar products can leave you with so much energy. (The bacon was Applewood brand, thick sliced, and organic).
There are comments I had intended to make in response to comments left on the blog, but right now my memory fails. I did order an aluminum case to hold credit card, driver's license, medical insurance cards, etc., so they can't be scanned by others around me. It should arrive today.
- Weather Woes!
Poor Ara, went to the airport last night and was told the flight had been delayed until this morning. Today's flight left, but there was a delay of several hours in Houston; I haven't heard if it finally departed, but I hope she is home...
- Am I In The Twilight Zone?
I decided to write about a weird happening because a reader or two might have had the same thing occur. I don't know why I did it, but when I went into A&P for a couple of items, I passed the pharmacy on the way to checkout. ...

It's not even 7:30 am and I feel like I've put in a full day - or at least a half day. I woke up early this morning because I'm watching Liam for a couple of hours and need to be at Steve's house before 8:30! The first...

At about 3:30 this afternoon if felt warm enough to shed my flannel pj's and don shorts and a t-shirt. It is in the upper 70's but still feels cool in the house. Every now and then I feel guilty for doing nothing today but reading...
