Good morning to everyone. Today is commissary day again so we will be out and about early I guess. I got a call finally about my contacts being in, but they said I could only pick them up between 1 and 7 PM. What's with that, they open at around 9 AM? Between those hours it is busier than the devil (probably because they only allow pickups between 1 and 7 PM) and you have to stand and wait forever. I don't have to be fitted so I hope I can get them quickly. We will just get our Walmart shopping done while we are there I guess. There are always a few things the commissary doesn't have or have in a size I need. I always buys Jack's baby aspirin at Walmart because I can get bigger bottles than at the commissary.
I am deciding what I am going to do next when I finish the sweater. I usually have decided by now what I am going to make for the boys for Christmas, but I haven't really even been searching. I need to get to it so I have the stuff here when I go to the hospital and can knit there if I feel like it. Their tv channel selection stinks and it is a Catholic hospital and at least 3 of the channels are Catholic services, info or something I wouldn't be interested in. They even have a still camera shot on one channel of the chapel, I guess for those who feel the need to pray in a church atmosphere. So, I don't watch much tv when I am in the hospital. I have it on for the noise.
Susan: Glad Stan is home and resting. Do you have the wound gel or wound spray? The visiting nurse left me both, but we used the gel until it was gone and we liked it much better. I still have a big bottle of wound spray. I sure hope Stan gets to feeling like eating again so he can put back some of his weight. Speaking of that, did you see the American exchange student that some family in Egypt where he lived for the year practically starved him to death? He went from 155 and came home at 97 lbs. The family belongs to some religious cult that fasts a good part of the year. They claim he ate huge meals, more than he should, but they had a picture of him on AOL and he had his bones sticking out. I think I would be going three rounds with the exchange program for putting him with a family that had those religious practices for one thing.
Jean: I agree with Susan that is it scary when kids that hate school are wandering around. They are trying to find trouble that is for sure. Sounds like you have had a rough year with no adminstrative support for misbehaviors. Too bad you can't get a hard as nails prinicipal in there that would do something about your situation. Hope you are catching up on your apres vacation laundry and clean up. It is the worst part about going on vacation the coming home and getting everything settled back in.
Think I will start my morning chores then knit on the sweater for a bit until Jack gets up.
Have a happy Saturday!
