Plumber

I have been using the same plumbing company out of Mooresville, IN, for a number of years. Why? Because they are more reasonably priced than most...and that matters to me. It's kind of funny, though. I end up having to call them about every two-three years to root out my sewer (due to tree roots), and we are pretty much on a first-name basis. When they pulled up today, I said, "We've got to stop meeting like this." The head dude said, "How long has it been?" I said, "Just about normal." He went right to the sewer cleanout and got to work. No other questions needed. Everything seems to be flowing nicely now, but the mess still isn't cleaned up. (I'll get to it later. Ugh!)

I am now officially "graduated" from cardiac rehab. The whole 12-week experience, while hitting at a particularly horrible time in my life, has been a huge and positive learning curve for me. I can't say enough nice things about the RNs there! And now, the charge is for me to carry on what has been started: the weight loss, the exercise, monitoring blood pressure, etc. (Yes, I do have a BP machine. The RNs helped me learn how to use it.) I believe my sister and bro-in-law still have a treadmill which I intend to use when I am there for Thanksgiving; then after the holiday, will have to MAKE myself use the membership to Plainfield's Rec Center that I just acquired, at least three times a week. Five is better. It's a discipline...like getting up on Sunday to go to church. Just do it!

Tomorrow will be a day to get a few things done: oil change, laundry, shopping for a few food items for Thanksgiving, and lunch with a friend. I put together a garbage bag of grandson Ryan's outgrown clothes to take to my grand-niece who has three little boys...and a couple of brand new electric blankets that she says she will take. Also packing a bunch of my sister's canning jars, and a special present that I bought last June. (Have to get help getting it in the car. It's heavy!) Not saying what it is because she reads this blog!

Every time I feel down, I get online to watch Oprah's Flash Mob Dance. What a treat! Those folks knew they pulled off something fantastic. Wish I could have been there, but I enjoy watching it on video because I can see so much more than I could have had I been part of the mob.

Can't wait to see my grandbabies again. I miss them so much!!
