I decided today that I feel good enough to make a trip to see my great-grand's at the Princess' house tomorrow. I want to get some information from her about a product she is selling anyway and that's best handled in person. Besides, I am getting a bit claustrophobic being indoors so much. I feel the need to get out for a bit.
It was a good day today. Even the Beast didn't do any complaining until this evening. He didn't go to church because he said he wasn't feeling all that well. I told him that was up to him and I sure wasn't going to say anything to him about his staying home.
Our icemaker stopped working for some reason and the Beast thought it might be because the filter was clogged. It took him a while to find the darn thing but he finally did and off he trotted to Lowe's to get a new one. Our fridge isn't even a year old so that surprised me. His only complaint was that they are expensive.
He had to turn off the water for a bit and the ice maker in order to remove the filter. It still isn't making ice but.....that takes 24 hours after it's been turned off. We'll see how it does tomorrow. It used to keep the bin filled nicely but lately has been delivering less and less. I mentioned it to the Beast several days ago but he didn't care. He doesn't use much ice unlike me. I like my ice water and especially now that we have the heat on. I get dehydrated anyway because I am diabetic and it's worse in winter. Now I am stuck with just drinking cold water but I'll live.
My gf from California sent me a check to use for my trip down to Florida. It was both a surprise that she would do it and a treat for me. She has a generous heart. She actually apologized for it not being more but I was not expecting anything from her. She only found out about the trip from my blog, which she is now reading regularly since we haven't been able to connect online lately. She said that way she gets an idea of what's going on with me.
Mustachio told me tonight that he was sorry he misunderstood what I had said yesterday so all is well between us. As we talked, he said he could tell I was really excited about this upcoming trip of ours. I told him he had no idea. I was already planning the clothes and other things I was bringing with me. I don't want to take my big suitcase so I have to plan what I am taking carefully. I used to pack for a week with my small one every year when I went to the family reunion but I have gotten out of the habit these past two years with only making one (overnight) trip to Mustachio's with Chewlee. I almost wish we could take Chewlee with us but she will be in school. We can't take her out for a week just so she could see her two aunts down there and where we lived for many years.
Mustachio is planning on making a dive while we are there. He loves to scuba dive and there are boats there that he can join for the day. He is hoping his buddy, John, will join him even if it's just to drop a line overboard and do some fishing. John can't dive but Mustachio wants to include him after the rough time he's had recovering from his auto accident. He also plans on visiting with another friend from his childhood, James. They both used to hang out at my house when they were young and they played these long, drawn-out games like Dungeons & Dragons, then they moved on to Axis and Allies. They could play for a whole weekend and I would have kids all over the place, asleep on every surface of my living room and the boys' room. It actually was a fun time and we knew where our boys were all the time. Sometimes they would stop and take a dip in the pool and I always had a huge stack of towels to wash, dry and fold afterward.
We took a short walk down memory lane and that was fun. It seems like only yesterday all this happened. Hard to believe that many of those kids are now married with kids of their own. A few, like Mustachio, still aren't but they are fairly young yet. It may still happen.
Got to get my butt to bed and get some rest now. I will be up every two hours to pee if I stick to my normal routine lately. *Sigh* But I haven't felt bad during the day so it's not so bad. Love you all and I was relieved to hear that NY City didn't get hit as badly with snow as was predicted. I'm sure they are, too. Take care and stay warm. ***Hugs***
