Just spoke with Bob..he is at our Alford neighbors--Gregg and Jeff's--- apartment in Brooklyn - watching the sunset from their apartment. He said it was beautiful! Gregg and Jeff brought Bob's humidifier--which he needs to keep on him all night-- and all the food that I sent for him. It was too much for him to carry so it was very kind of them to haul it to NYC for him. Bob went after work to pick it up. His spirit sounded good ..... his voice is scratchy.
I haven't spoken to him much today so I don't much of what happened in his day. Today was the day he stays at Beth Israel to meet with doctors beginning at 11:30ish. His radiation appt is 7:45 then I think he waits for doctor appointments. By the time he was out of there I had my own schedule which wasn't exactly what I had planned! The saying is "Life is what is happening while we are busy making plans"! That has been so true lately!
On the Alford end of the Doerr family I was faced with an early morning challenge. My very new car---new for us anyway year 2007--misbehaved the minute I started it...at first I thought "well it is a cold morning" then I quickly thought "but wait It's not THAT COLD".......I heard a strange sound but didn't mention it to the girls.....after they got in and buckled Natalie asked "Mommy why is the car making that noise?" I -of course- had NO IDEA! However by Natalie hearing it this CONFIRMED that there was a strange noise that I was not imagining!!! Then there were the "beware lights".
The check engine light was blinking along with some other light. After I left the girls at school they towed it from my friend Joan's house. Our dear friend Al came to pick me up at Joan's --Thank you Al! Thank you Joan.......Joan even offered me her father in laws truck for the day that was parked in her driveway .....I laughed....I said if I needed it I'd be back!
Al brought me to the Toyota dealer so I didn't have to wait for the tow truck. After dealing with service they finally found me a "vehicle" to drive----I suggested just letting me drive the Audi that we just traded in on Thursday but Angie explained insurance doesn't permit that....so a driver took me to Pittsfield to rent a car.....well not quite a "car"...let's call it a 4 wheel drive TRUCK....See Joan..You must have known a truck was in my future!!!!!! (laughing) It's red which I like...it does have a back seat for the girls. Thankfully I have this vehicle...it was the ONLY rental car left at Enterprise. Grateful!
So...the car saga continues. ... Since I have the truck I decided I may have well put it to good use. I called my wonderful tenant Rod and he helped me load it full of brush from our brush pile at one of the houses in Pittsfield. I'll finish the rest of the pile tomorrow. I knew there must be a reason I needed the truck!
Then in the afternoon I went to the doctor for my cough/sore throat/head cold....he said he doesn't "think" i have pneumonia but can hear some happenings in my chest..no fever....gave me a few med's that I will fill in the a.m. If not better in a few days back to doc.
So that's it for now. A few things to do before bed.
Life (:
