Record Cold....

Now we have set a record for the longest cold spell here since 1989.  Is that cool?  Yes, and more.

     Today I was going to take the opportunity to go to the Phoenix Zoo with a group from the Wise Owl Senior Center.  I decided against that thought because the air is a little beyond cool and number one, I would have trouble breathing and number two, I would have to give up $25. for the trip, which is not bad, but I am saving for my laser treatment on my eyes.  That of course is a little more costly out here, but I understand they are good at their work. 

     Tomorrow an electrician will be coming to check and fix a problem.  My lights are blinking and sometimes they go all the way off and come back on.  Surely can interrupt a movie on television. 

     Did I tell you that I am now on the Wii bowling team?  There will be a Wii Bowling Tournament on the thirteenth of February in Phoenix.  We Wii Bowlers from the Wise Owl will meet our opponents and hopefully win a game or two.  I think they may be in more practice than we are because we can't get many to volunteer to be on the team.  I look at it this way every winner needs a loser or they wouldn't be a winner so I for one will contribute to their status. LOL. Some people won't play a game unless they are pretty sure they can win.  I play games for the pure enjoyment of it.

COLD NIGHTS AND WARM DAYS

     Did you ever live in a cement block house?  That is with no interior finish except paint.  Well, when it is cold outside and the house is in the shade all day it can get pretty chilly.  That is what I live in and I noticed my nose was cold, my toes were cold and my fingers were way too cold.  So I turned on the gas heater and aaaaah.........nice.....warm.   After a few minutes the whole house was so warm I had to turn off the gas heater.  I guess that warm weather we were to have is not going to get here until Monday.  Thursday, I made the trip to Surprise.  Had a lot of groceries to buy for the month.  It was a beautiful warm sunny day with a nice mountain breeze gently blowing.  Feels like a vacation when I go there it is so far away to the big city.

     Today, I got my body out of bed early and made it into the Wise Owl.  Monday I will try to get my butt out of bed early and get to the Wise Owl for Coffee Klutch at 8:00 am.  When it is cold in the mornings I don't like to get out of bed early, I just want to crawl back under those warm comforters.

     I called the Laser Treatment Eye Care Center this afternoon.  I talked to a lot of people who have been there and who had friends who have gone there for work on their eyes and it comes highly recommended by word of mouth.  It is in Sun City and West of Surprise.  I have to wait a month to have an appointment to get my eyes examined.  I just know that I am not going back to the same person who worked on my eyes before because they are really messed up, my eyes that is.  I just hope they can be fixed.  However,  there is one good thing; I can see really good out of my right eye with or without my glasses. So, half the problem is already solved. 

Using Skype

I had good intentions of getting a great start on my New Year's resolutions this fine sunny morning but when I poked my head out the door, I immediately like a turtle pulled it right back in; it was too cold!   What happened to that global warming?  So no great expectations this day.  Someone told me  tomorrow is going to be warmer, like near 77 degrees. Now that is more like my Arizona winter..                                                                                                                                                                     Does anyone out there have skype?  I just love it.  I have been talking with my grandaughter and great-grandaughter who by the way is walking now..  I probably should say running.  While we were talking she suddenly decided to head out to the kitchen. LOL., but MOM was on that right away she brought her back, and we talked some more.  She has learned the words Thank You.   Another day, another thought hopefully.
