Ginny, a few days ago when DH talked to his mom, she wished him a happy birthday next week.  He was there with her on his birthday last month.

Well, we just returned from Albuquerque. We drove over yesterday to get the truck back. It took 18 days to get it fixed, but we have it now. It was covered under the warranty. Good thing -- the part alone was almost $10,000.

Earlier tonight, one of the apartment ghosts was acting up in the kitchen; there were several seconds of someone scuttling about and I would swear I heard a bouncing ball.

Ah, yes.  Mom also asked me today if I'd ever met Mary Linda's parents.  I said, "Yes, and you have, too."  She was at the wedding, of course, and at their home the day after, and they've been to Thanksgiving here at our house twice when was here.

I was going to ask something similar. That's outrageous.

I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I got home from the airport: A package with Hangover Square, a T-shirt and mug. Good stuff.

Finished the Glen Campbell movie, which was really good but very hard to watch.

Now for something a little more fun: The North Avenue Irregulars with Barbara Harris and a great Disney cast.

The show is going well and our one-man audience is enjoying it.

This is a good sign. :)

The Mercury retrograde continues in spades, but today I was able to pick up 2/3 of my prescription eye drops. We're still missing one prescription. I have no idea why this has been so difficult. I'm very glad I didn't wait until the last minute. It's been a real hassle.
