City:

Reveling in my newly organized K, I spent most of the eve on the phone with a couple lengthy catch-up calls. One was a lengthy - about 10 minutes - conversation with a friend's husband, probably the longest we have ever had. That seemed special. It was half time in the football game; "You timed it well!" I never found out where wife was!

R called in the middle of one and reported on progress - about 9:15. I moved on - to FB and watching the 10 pm news. He came home about 11 (local news) and presented me with a new toaster oven! The one here is OLD and functional but the one at the mill has lost top element so the new one is happily ensconced in my cleaner K and the old one I shall clean up today and take to the mill. I have "Joe" to thank for this as R bumped into him in Canadian Tire and, as they talked, Joe noticed a DEAL and picked one up, causing R, who never would have noticed, to remember that I had been looking for one. "Thank Joe for me!"

I gave R a tour of the re-arranged cabinets - those are the treats you like (cans of things I would not touch) and here are soups; so when I am away... He managed to complete what he set out to do yesterday so it was a good day all round.

Today: he dashed away to a bf meeting but I managed to get him to have his hot choc, a piece of zuke bread and a pear, with his vitamins before he left. He came home last night coughing badly. The building in which he was working is toxic and very old and full of machinery - airborne particulate is my diagnosis and "Take the Pau d'Arco to prevent infection!" Sent him off with a bottle of chewable C.

I am gearing up for the day. It was a late night and early morning so I am not moving very fast- at all?
