It was a busy weekend. I received a call Friday PM from the HOA as one of the contractors left a mess in the elevator and entryroom down stairs and had to go clean it up on Saturday. It was unsightly, but unworthy of all of the drama. A simple clean it up would have done the trick. I hope it isn't a picture of dealing with them in the future. If so, I won't stick around there for long. I'm really not the type of person that likes everything locked up to the hilt...I remember when we rented a place in Terravita in North Scottsdale while I was looking for a new place. I resented all one has to go through to get home. I realize it makes some people feel more secure, but to me it is just an annoyance. The good thing that happened while we lived there for the 3 short months is Max and Annette were married there.
Good news on Sam, they took him off of oxygen as he is breathing better on his own. When Marissa and Mason went to visit him on Saturday, he asked them to bring him some fresh fruit. They took it over yesterday. He is on insurance now and they will move him either today or tomorrow to the new IHS off of 53rd South where the insurance is covered. This is good as it will be shorter for Ashley to drive back and forth. She is still at her Grandmothers, and Chuck went back home on Saturday. Marissa is excited as she will get a chance to watch baby Benjamin this evening as Ashley goes to the hospital.
I bought me a cool pair of shoes when I arrived here in October and they have been wonderful shoes, I really like them, but all of a sudden the started wearing a blister on my little toe on the left foot. So, on Friday, I borrowed a pair of Risa's shoes, which quickly rubbed blisters on both heals and flopped all day. I went to the health center and got soft sticky stuff to put on the blisters to save the heal, it worked good the rest of the day. I walked to the truck at the end of the day in stocking feet as the shoes were hurting. So on Saturday, I went and purchased a new pair of shoes, only problem, I can't wear them until the blisters heal. Are you shaking your head or swinging your arms yet?? ( old joke from "Goods and News") I'm still puzzled as to why the favorite shoes are rubbing blisters.
The condo is coming along fine, they are working on the tile again today. I am going there after work to check the cleanliness my self. Even went on Saturday and purchased my own vac. We have a shop vac in the condo but it's too big for me to lug around the hall etc.. Here I am about to moan and groan about the weather, we had rain, lots of it, Houston type rain, on Saturday, it melted too much and there was flooding in some places. There will probably be more flooding with all of the snow we had all winter. It is dark and gloomy out there today if you look north, if you look you see the sun trying to peek thru the clouds. We have a good out look for this week, We are supposed to have SUN on Wednesday and a big whopping 50 degrees. WOW will report the truth of it on Thursday.
