Hot and Humid

We thank God that Evelyn had slept through the night for the first time in several days.  She was finally well rested.  We went to exercise Monday and then returned home.  We packed some more for the trip.  While looking for something else, Evelyn found the compression stockings we had lost after our trip to South America.  I drizzled for most of the day, so we were glad to go to our dance instructions at 3.  We did learn that the Monday afternoon classes have been disbanded.  We were short one couple.  We will have to find another place to learn.  During the evening we tried to make arrangements for our Super Bowl party.  We set up the room and called Don and Janice who agreed to come.  We have 2 confirmed couples.  Tuesday I had to work for the shuffle tournament.  I had volunteered to bus tables from 10:45 to 1.  That meant that I could only attend about 30 minutes.  It was quite humid but not in the hall.  My lunch was provided for the volunteers, and I brought it home to share with Evelyn.  She had made things for today, but we enjoyed some of it in the evening.  One of the winter Texans was a school janitor and brings a tool to the Valley to use in cleaning carpets.  He came to clean the Texas room as he has before.  Evelyn wants the room clean for the party.  We left the house and chose to go to Mexico for some treatments.  I went to the dentist to have 2 fillings in the crevices that my gums cause by receding.  The crevices are sensitive to hot and cold.  They also cause my false tooth to come out while I am eating.  This could be dangerous since I could swallow it.  I spent the entire afternoon having that work done while Evelyn got a pedicure and bought some small gifts for the Beeli girls to use in their play.  I had wanted a pedicure too but didn’t have time, so I just bought a case of Negra Modelo and a bottle of Bailey’s.  We came home for supper and made plans to go with Joe and Bonny to dinner Thursday night.  I have a coupon that will expire before we return.  We watched a movie we had started a couple of nights ago.  And we watched another one. 

Wednesday was disturbing.  Evelyn left for exercise and I began mopping the concrete floor of our screen porch.  I did that and the driveway portion.  I also sprayed the weeds that are coming up around the house.  I came into the house and heard the phone telling me I had missed a call.  Evelyn had called from the bank because the car wouldn’t start.  I rushed to ask Rose to borrow her car.  I went to the bank but she wasn’t there.  I was told she was advised to get a new battery.  I drove to every place I thought she might go.  Since she wasn’t at any of them, I came home to find her there.  A man at the bank had given her a jump start, so she continued her errands.  She had started the car at the CVS after driving for a while so she just came home.  I will go to have it checked tomorrow.  I had made plans earlier to play golf with Roger since Armand couldn’t go.  He was working the second day of the shuffle tournament.  We played 9 holes in extremely hot and humid weather.  I was concerned and drank a pint of water.  Roger lost his cell phone on one of the Tee boxes but someone turned it in and we recovered it.  We came home and I drank 3 beers before supper.  I was, naturally, tired but managed to stay awake until bedtime.
