~What a Day~

I'm going to have to make other arrangements for rides
other than with COA.. They didn't log down my request
for a ride today to the Dr. He didn't show up at 1230 so
I called and they told me it wasn't on the books..SO... I
had to reschedule my appointment again.!. How many
times have I had to do this because of them not doing
their job.?. Its so aggravating..so now, my new appt. is
for July 9th at 1 oclock and I already booked a ride
today when I had to call and cancel my appointment
I made the new one.. so lets see if they remember
THIS time.. I cant believe that these people can get
away with this and nothing is done about it...Its getting
very very old this ride crap... :-(

Well to top off- another ickky spot for today .. The cable
guy, COMCAST CABLE...this guy came to change out
my modem box cuz some of the lights on mine were no
good.. So it only took this guy 5 minutes to change the
wires out..then he had to call into the office to let them
know I had a new one so my computer would recognize
it cuz I couldn't get ONLINE~~!! This guy and I sat here
for 25 minutes while he is on HOLD...waiting- I got so mad.
I picked up my phone and called them.. I got to a guy to
fix it faster than the REPAIR GUY!!! now..what is wrong
with THAT picture.?.What if I had something planned or
if my Dr appt hadnt been canceled what would I have done!
He had to do this connection before he could leave! If I
had been online he could have gone to the site but as soon
as he changed that little blinkin box I went off line.. That
poor guy at the cable office KNEW I was mad..I told him
I had a repair guy here waiting on hold on HIS phone for
someone to be able to hook my Internet back up and I
was tired of waiting..The new guy said "we arent sposta
talk to repair guys " I told him I didn't care and that he
had better talk to this guy and get my Internet back- I
shouldn't have to entertain COMCAST employees when
they are done with their jobs and cant get verified cuz
of busy lines! I apologized to the guy and told him it was
nothing against him just bad performance on behalf of
the cable company... I HAVE my cable back...:-) was
funny the cable guy says" It wont do you any good to call".
I told him you wait and see how long it takes for me to get
to someone.. I have to say when I handed him my phone
he smiled... well I got through and he couldn't? again ..
what is wrong with THIS picture..?

My life is just so bloomin exciting I don't know if I can handle
it or not.. Every day is just something.. OHHH and hell I forgot,
My day started off just hunky dorey.. Penny called at 9:10
and said " I cant come in today I have to take Eddie to the Dr.
His company made a Dr appt for him; apparently they think he
has a slipped disc..I didn't know that could cause your hands
and feet to swell.. anyway.. I asked what time his appt was
AND.. it was for ONE as in 1 o'clock... Penny gets done here
at 12..and its only 30 miles to PawPaw where the Dr is..so
again.. What is wrong with THIS picture? don't take 3 nhalf
hours to drive 30 miles...anyway.. I hope Penny comes in on
Friday..Its so hard on me when she misses..

Anyway the picture of my kitchen is gonna have to have me in
it cuz that's where I'm headed, I'm not really hungry but I have
nice nice ice cold peaches out there and they just sound so
good...I don't eat a lot of fruit as I don't like opening a big can
cuz I cant eat it all and I don't want to have to eat the same
thing for 3 days. so they have these little individual servings
and they are just right for me.. just enough.. so that's my
treat for tonite.. and this is my GORGEOUS WEEBLE
"nitey nite"

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!!!
Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend"
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
until I write again .....

    Lois call your ride the day before and remind them of the appointment and the time of it and maybe the same day too....most Dr now call a day before your appointment to remind us...I got where I like that a lot.
    I did a lot of painting here in the kitchen, just the trim around window and doors so far...I can't make up my mind what color for the cabinet yet...right now they are yellow...I thinking about a sage green or I might paint them yellow again.
    My body is a little sore right now, but it will be fine in the morning. Anyway I hope so.
    Since I have lost some weight I do fell better and have more energy now...even after working real hard always in the morning I am ready to do it again.
    I sugar is doing better too but I really have to work at it.
    Friday I have to work 8 hours for Pam, that well help me to know how she is really doing for myself.

    Pam is getting a room mate, that will be good for her I hope.
    God bless you Lois

    Ah, Man (& Woman) is born to trouble as the sparks fly upwards!!
    I thought the U.S. of A was the home of super-efficiency!!!
    You're nearly as bad as us!!!
    Like that character that left a pile of documents on a train over here - the documents were all about Islamist Thugs and marked "Most Secret" I guess heads will roll at the Foreign Office in London over this!
    I'm SO glad you put that guy from Comcast to shame - well done, Honey.
    Take care,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife

    I get a client to his psycho-therapist on Tuesdays via Access-a-ride. His appt is 3-3:45pm. he leaves home at 12 noon to get there, because he likes to eat lunch in that nabe. He usually gets picked up between 4 and 5:30 for the return. I have a cell phone beause they are often 30-45 minutes late so a 45 minute appointment becan become a 7-hour ordeal.
