Well I went out to shovel 4" of snow off my sidewalk and driveway.

It was hard work.  I was a bit more than halfway done. A car pulled up in front of the neighbro's house [I just made up a new word] and delivered his lunch.

She was getting back in her car and hollered over "You want me to finish that for you, honey?"

I said: "Thanks...but you're working."

She came over and said that's okay - I'll just go on pause for a few minutes.

She came over and finished the job in about six minutes. I gave her $6 which she didn't want to take but I made her.  Then she gave me her phone number and said to call her if I needed anything else done. Her name is Sheila.

So that was a wonderful happenstance today on Fairlane Drive


That's a lovely story!

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  We got up to about 4” of snow - perfect for starting to deck the halls.

Wow, I think you should call her from now on.

We have morning appointments to get our teeth cleaned.  The plan was to skip a check with the doctor today, however, I guess I need to talk with him about what I am dealing with as it is affecting my jaw, and can cause issues with me teeth.

First good bit of news today: I will be getting some Money from the first month of book sales. Jen did not have a power cable that would work for the HP printer, but she found one on Amazon, so I've ordered one. If it hopefully is the problem, then I'm spared the cost of a new printer, when/if I can afford one.

I'm up, I'm up - another five hours of sleep day - maybe it was five and a half. I've been up since seven-forty-five.

Apparently, food is NOT on its way. Order placed at 10:20, it went through and took me to the delivery map. And yet, I just checked on it and it never went through nor was I charged for it. So, placed it again and now it's an hour wait.

This post is being typed by a broken man.

I just shovel-scraped and snow-blew the driveway of an inch and a half or more of heavy wet snow. It's an unholy mess, but it's at least passable. I fear for the leftover mess freezing overnight, but there's not a damned thing I can do about it. I'm only sorry that two (2) of us have to drive out over it at seven in the ayem tomorrow.

Hope your new printer cable does the trick DR ELMORE.

I used the printer a week ago Monday. On Wednesday I asked Jen to come by and help me with my heavy all-purpose/computer table. It's been sliding about the floor and I needed some help stabilizing it. So, she came over on Friday and helped me push it back against the filing cabinets. At one point it stuck and she gave it a really hard into the filing cabinets. I think that slam might have damaged the printer's power cable, since yesterday, no matter where Jen plugged the printer into the two power strips under the table, the printer would not turn on. So. we'll see how it goes when Amazon delivers ithe new one on Thursday/

But then I keep playing and I win more than I lose, so I keep going.  Eventually, I quit because I just didn't want to lose, so I left the casino with this:


Very nice!!!

Thanks, Freddie!
