Jaymee...
Are you closer to finding that temperature balance in your apartment?
Just curious.

Not yet, Bob, but I'm still working on it.
Thanks for asking.
Working on this "twin" challenge, and am seriously considering calling it a night. There's no way those numbers even come close to comparing!

Ok Jaymee
Have a nice night and when you are up for it, write a little bit about what a "twin" challenge is.

Mom spent some time with Philip tonight - then later fell asleep to a movie. When she called me back, she said it was ridiculous. (She still has a sore throat, like last week... as well as a cough)
And I finished the tape I was working on :)
Oh, yeah... watched "Wizards Return: Alex Versus Alex" on Disney
Hope to see "Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince" one day this weekend (it's playing on ABC Family - 3:30 one day and 8 AM the other)

Ten AM – that was our designated time. In point of fact, I was a few minutes late – so I grabbed my phone and…
“Your call has been forwarded…” “Ugh!” But I left a message (telling her to call me) and hung up. Time for “the waiting game.”
Not a word… Not a word… Not a word…
Pick up the pphone and dial. Repeat three or four times. Go take a nap. Take a bath. Get dressed. Work on audio drama. Finally, cell rings:
- Mom (in a really nasal voice) – Calm down—I’m not dead yet.
- Me – Wow—you don’t sound well!
- Mom – I’m not. My sinuses hurt… my eye’s swollen shut…
- Me – I hope you feel better.
Hung up thinking, “sounds like she has another sinus infection.”

Well, Mom was going to come over to drop off some food, but the more she was"out and about," the worse she felt. So, she went back home to "be a lump on my couch."

Posted three quotes... sent a few messages to relatives I don't see much... and some friends (as well as two former classmates)

Glad to read Facebook is working better for you. I've been there but have more than enough on FunTrivia to keep me busy.
By the way, I love great and interesting quotes. You never know what you will hear or read.

Very good quotes my friend and the first time I have seen them. Of course, one of my all time favorites is by the late John F. Kennedy...
And so, my fellow americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Had an incident last night (I refuse to post this on Facebook as all my relatives - the ones I don't see regularly - would see it). Mom knows, and if she hasn't told Grandma and Michael by now I probably will do so. (Those are the only three on there I would want to know).
Had a nasty fall last night in the bathroom. Lost my balance when I took the right hand off my walker to grab the grab bar... fell in front of the toilet, whacked my ribs hard (even managed to *move* the toilet) and splashed water all over myself (blasted right hand fell into it while I was trying to force air into my lungs :(
Mom saw the area I hit, and there's a visible mark there (feels better than it did). Immediately popped two Tylenol and lay on ice (alternated between flat on my back on ice and flat on my stomach on ice).
Klutzy, klutzy me :((

Oh my goodness, Jaymee. So sorry to read about that fall. It can happen rather fast, and without warning.
I pray nothing serious will occur as a result of this.
And please, seek medical assistance if need be.

Ouch.
Yes, what Bob said. If you need to be looked at, get yourself looked at.
Hope you mend quickly and painlessly.

Thanks, Bob. Tenderness getting better all the time; using ice when needed. Evaluating situation and being more careful (I will get things checked if necessary, but hopefully it doesn’t come to that).
Thanks, Lesley.

Went down for the mail after Grandma left for her appointment. Neighbor followed me in on fifth floor, elevator went up to seventh and picked up two passengers. “Join the party,” is how I put it, and my gentleman neighbor (the men here are sorely outnumbered by the ladies) said, “we don’t want to fill it to the weight capacity,” meaning the elevator.
Got mail, went up with two ladies, one of whom got off on four (the other went to the fifth floor as well). Today’s mail hadn’t “gone” yet, but I hadn’t checked in some days. Had some print mail and a Braille magazine stuffecd in box (‘Short Stories).’ Sue came over with some packages, which she opened (two magazines: ‘Science News’ and more LHJ).

Grandma and I watched “Revenge” last night and “Dr. Phil” this morning. I switched the TV off at 11 because I don’t like to start a show and be interrupted (Grandma’s cardiology appointment was for 11:30, and Mom had told me last night she was coming around 11:15).
Mom called when she was on her way. She finally got a loaner car, so the garage is working on fixing her Jetta (she’s driving a black mazda now).
While waiting for Grandma to come back (and before I went down for the mail), called Zweier’s to put in my grocery order. (As usual, it comes on Wednesday).
Oh, almost forgot to report that Grandma brought coffee and blueberry muffins for breakfast.

Quote for the day: Robert H. Schuller said, “tough times never last, but tough people do.”
The weather’s supposed to get ugly later, so Grandma called Michael to pick her up. (He’s the one who dropped her off, too, so he visited a bit… which reminds me: when they came in, I said, “just so you know, my bathroom sink’s clogged.” To which he replied, “so, what, are we washing our hands in the toilet?” No, I told him, the water does go down—just watch how much you put in (besides, I hardly see a problem developing from washing one’s hands). This afternoon he asked “have either of you been fishing in the toilet” (I think that was a joke about what I did on Saturday when I splashed water all over myself). I wasn’t sure what to answer, but Grandma, without skipping a beat, said, “I did.” “I was waiting for one of you to respond,” he exclaimed before asking, “catch anything?” “I did get a few bites,” Grandma told him.

Glad to read you are feeling better and once again blogging. Don't know if blogging is an official word, but spell check didn't flag it so I put it in.
A very close and older friend said to me "All it takes is just one time". Boy, how true that can be.
Next few days will tell for you, but at least you are moving around.

Bob… Don’t worry about “blogging”; a lot of people use the word. In other words, if it isn’t a word, who cares? (I’m probably failing utterly, but I’m actually *trying to be funny)

Made a delivery order tonight: two orders of chicken fingers—one for tonight, the other for the refrigerator so I can keep them for tomorrow. $13.25 for both… could do worse with my money.
