Good morning to all you lovely ladies today. It is warm, muggy and overcast here today. I am working on getting stuff done before surgery and crossing stuff off my list. I am also well on my way with the front of the sweater. I ordered some lovely yarn in a color called strawberry and I am going to make the same sweater without the side slits for my older sister for her birthday in December. I figure I can take both to the hospital and trade off! lol
Gloria: I too wish you a Happy Birthday a week early! I had that half golightly last time too and I hope she does that same thing again. No way will I ever get a gallon down. I got to the last half glass and gagged so much I thought it would all come up so I gave up on it. I am going to get a packaged of presweetened koolaid and put in it to help with the taste somewhat. It has to be better than the cherry flavor they had with it. Glad your test came out ok. I figure since I haven't heard from the doctor I am aok to go forward with the surgery a week from Monday. I got my referral/authorization yesterday from the doctor's office and should get a copy from Tricare today or tomorrow. They usually follow fairly closely.
Jean: It may be a policy for the rental companies regarding your responsibility with tires, but it is a stinky one. I mean, this tire was defective and I think it should be the responsibility of the rental company not you as the individual. That is like making you pay for a burned out headlight on a new vehicle (this car had less than 8000 miles on it) which is ridiculous. They aren't even supposed to charge you for gas until you get back and they check to see if it is full or not. Jack usually does the car renting and is not as observant as I. I caught the tire issue right away when I was looking at it. Ahh, well, we shall see how long it takes to get us our money back.
I got a call from Jack yesterday to tell me we are getting a 13% pay raise the first of July. Wow, I never thought the union would get off their duffs and negotiate anything. Jack's union is pretty lazy as most of the other unions have been getting 3% per year. The 13% is a 7% raise and then 6% per payday hazardous pay for where he works. Well, when he works I should say! lol It is either feast or famine out there. They either have tons of stuff to do or nothing. They had to work out in the lagoon all day yesterday so Jack has sunburn on his sunburn. I can't get him to wear sunblock because he says it is too sticky when he sweats and I can see his point.
Well on to my list of chores and the daily ones as well. Have a good Thursday all!
