WOW! Today has been just like a three-ringed circus around here. I have had so many people in and out of here today I am tired and it's only 4 in the afternoon.

My day started with the "cable guy" this morning at 8 as our satellite cable was cut during the deconstruction of our deck while we were away at the hospital, and we have had no TV since. Trust me, when Donna is recuperating from a surgery and can't do much, TV is a definite necessity. After an hour, he finally found the problem after much running around out on the roof and in and out of all rooms, but happily we now have TV again. At 10:30 the caregiver arrived, talking on her phone as per usual and didn't stop talking until 12 when I gave her the hairy eyeball! At noon my ex-brother-in-law and SIL arrived for a quick visit with Donna. They left around 1:45 and at 2 the community health nurse and dietitian arrived to check on Donna and go over a few things with us. What a day! In between I have had to make phone calls, track down medical equipment, unpack Avon orders that arrived while we were away with no hope of getting any work done. In the midst of all this in and out, the front deck is being taken apart so there is a lot of pounding, sawing, and talking going on outside. I will be happy when things calm down here a little bit.

I need a Zen moment or two to quiet my running mind!

Tomorrow should be quieter, and hopefully I will have time to run out and buy a few things for us to eat as there are pretty slim pickin's in our kitchen! For now, I am going to go outside, close my eyes and enjoy the sun for a few minutes before I have found more chores to occupy my time.

Peace out!
