Old Age Day by Day November 19, 2012

Ah, another day, another disaster.  We have stopped the flood behind the refrigerator, but have structural and mold damage, and now need the insurance people and a contractor.  And what a great week for it!  People are so available on a holiday week.  Watching the Ken Burns documentary on the dust bowl, my husband said, at least we aren't in a dust storm.  There are definitely bigger castatrophes than ours.  However, will we ever get the house painted?!  After the kitchen and now after the gutters?  And will I still be alive?  I guess if I'm not, I won't really care, so that's good.

I am planning my attack on Thanksgiving dinner, and will forage into the grocery world today.  Yesterday afternoon my daughter and I shopped for some stuff for a wedding she's going to, and that was a fun escape from house breakdown.  She got a jacket and hosiery, and I found a sweater and tee shirt.  I bought more party invitations and she found some Christmas gifts.  She even returned some school stuff before the 30 day refund expired, which I consider a triumph of achievement.  But mostly we had girl time, and I'm never too old for that!
