an instantaneous cold front.

We had our regular routine and then went to the park meeting. The manager spoke again and covered coming to the office to register any visitors. She made the point it was not necessary to register for just a few hours. I found that infuriating since our friends had been towed away after being here for less than 2 hours. Our Christmas table met after the meeting and it was decided that we should just go to Lin’s Chinese Buffet instead of having the wives do the necessary cooking to provide a meal in the hall. We came home around 10 and called the endocrinologist who had not yet received any results of the biopsy. I had some short errands to run so I took off on my bicycle. I took my medicine vial to the drug store and went on the eye store to see if they had a way to repair the temple on my glasses that broke yesterday morning. They had an old one that worked and just gave it to me. I returned to the hospital to use their phone to make a toll free call to my credit card company to learn why it was declined at the Wal-Mart yesterday. It was because, they said, I had not paid last month’s bill and could not use it until I paid. I had scheduled a payment yesterday to be transacted December 26, but came home and changed the payment to today’s date. I then went to the cubicle where Evelyn had her biopsy taken and was given a copy of the analysis. I got it only because we volunteer at the hospital. I did learn that the doctor didn’t have the report because it was sent by US mail! What a disappointment. I came home and gave the report to Evelyn. We said a prayer of thanksgiving because we saw nothing in it that suggested cancer. We then called the doctor in Harlingen sho has the yellow fever vaccine and made an appointment for Wednesday for our shots. We also planned to meet Janice for lunch. We ate lunch here and my hiatal sphincter acted up. We did finish the pot roast from last week. While I was gone, Evelyn had signed a contract with the roofer who will install our metal roof. We walked to where he is working on another house in our park and paid him half of the agreed amount. As we walked back, a cold front blew in (literally) and the temperature dropped 20 degrees in seconds. We returned home and spent the afternoon working. I began preparing my AARP materials for tomorrow while Evelyn did some ironing. We had a light supper and prepared for tomorrow. We also re-lighted our outdoor manger scene. It looks more honorable now.
