An apple tree planted.
Dead or dying flowers pulled and hauled away.
More leaves picked up in the front yard.
A visit to the horses.
A big Gonzaga win.
Overall, yesterday was pleasantly mundane and productive.
Nice to have days like that occasionally.
Hard to believe that it's already been a week since we were at Dublin Airport, preparing for the long trip home.
Once home, we hit the ground running and have been happily busy at projects and winter prep ever since.
This next week will be highlighted by workers coming in on Tuesday and spending the day putting in a new chimney AND Annie coming home for a visit.
Those workers have to crawl upward through a hole in an upstairs closet.
The hole looks to be about 14 inches by maybe 20 inches. Bill and I have been more than curious as to how those big guys who came to do the estimate are going to make it through the hole.
Hope they don't get stuck.
Tomorrow I will be having my Medicare Wellness physical.
I just hope that when it comes to mental acuity, they give me the same address in Portland that they gave me last time to memorize and for them to test me on whether I'm losing mentally.
To heck with all the stuff that might be wrong or right with me physically, if I slip up on that address, I may be categorized as demented or something old like that.
I remember very clearly the last time they gave me an address and asked me a minute or so later to repeat the address, panic instantly set in and my mind threated to freeze.
Happily, I remembered enough of the address that no concerns were entered in my permanent record.
When I ponder on how one wrong answer on one question about an address in a wellness exam can deem one as potentially demented, I'm figuring there has to be a pandemic of dementia going on out there in the world, especially among politicians who seem to have CRS every single time they open their mouths--never mind a random address.
Anyway, it should be an interesting session which is designed to keep the Medicare gods happy.
While we're on medical stuff, I'm happy to report that my colitis behaved itself while we were traveling. I'm very thankful to have finally reached a stage where this gut nuisance has let up a bit on ruling my life.
On another front, it's a big day of sports action today. I saw in this morning's Spokesman that the Gonzaga women's game today will be broadcast on CBS Sports at 11:30 a.m.
The ZAGS (1-0) play the Toledo Rockets.
Then at 1:05 p.m., the Seahawks take on the Arizona Cardinals. Annie said she'll be at the game, so we'll be looking for her wave.
Finally, in the sports department, how about those Sandpoint Bulldogs boys and girls swimming teams.
Both won the State Championship yesterday.
Congratulations to all for an amazing achievement.
We're from Sandpoint and couldn't be any prouder.
Damon, a former student, lives in the neighborhood. He and his helper were doing winter prep yesterday.
