Lay abed til 6:15 -- did a quick downstairs reconnoiter (prolly not keep a fire in the stove today, either), cuppa, email, FB and Mudcat check (to report to Tom) and back upstairs for a slightly early good morning call to Tom since he has to be at Wentworth-Douglass for that stress test by 8:15.

Interesting note, there was a voice mail on our phone yesterday from W-D about calling them before 4:30 yesterday for prelim info re: stress test. You would THINK they'd have a clue that he's NOT at that phone number -- for the past 2-1/2 WEEKS, fer-pete's-sake, he's either been at W-D or Dover Rehab where they stuck him!!! When they called, he was probably meeting with Dr. Mendoza AT the hospital!!! He'd already pointed out to Scheduling that he hand't been home for over 2 weeks and was supposedly under the care & knowledge of the hospital. Arghhh! (That's actually just a minor case of the communication problems we encountered while he was actually IN room 348 at the hospital.)

Before I got back upstairs, I scrubbed the butcher block countertop and used a toothpick to clean crap out of crannies around the kitchen faucet and sink, but then I got to lay abed reading Sue Grafton's "U Is For Undertow" til 9:30 when I got dressed, emptied the litter boxes, got a load of laundry in, and I'm about to walk the trash up the driveway for today's pickup. (I forgot last week -- that's one of Tom's jobs.)

Will drop off some more cubic footage at Goodwill on my way over to meet Tom. Not sure where he's got in mind for lunch, but it might be Chinese since he asked for one of his extra diuretics -- he's on a low sodium diet, of course.

Later!
