I ordered the 2012 update to my Quicken software a couple of days ago and it arrived today - much quicker than I had expected. So I installed it and registered it and it is ready to use.

The night before last I didn't sleep all night - due to arthritis pain (and perhaps all that napping I did on Sunday afternoon), but last night was much better and I woke up feeling much better.

The rain has moved out of the area, but it is still much cooler than last week.

It has rained all day today. We really needed that. We didn't go out to lunch after church, but heated up leftovers instead and napped most of the afternoon.

I've started re-reading the Cat Who books and am starting over from the beginning with The Cat Who Could Read Backwards. Just as interesting as the last time I read it.

We are getting rain right now. That is so welcome. It is expected to rain quite a bit over the rest of the weekend. The kittens all got up in the window in the computer room and looked out to watch it rain.

I had been in bed but couldn't sleep and with the arthritis, couldn't lie still either. So here I am on the computer.

We went to our prayer shawl knitting/crocheting group meeting earlier this evening.

After I got off work this afternoon we had some errands to run. Afterward we stopped at a Mexican restaurant for supper. I ordered green chicken enchiladas with avocado salad. The "green" was tomatillo sauce over the three chicken enchiladas. I had never tried that kind of sauce before. It was kind of pickly tasting - not bad, but a little goes a long way. I probably won't order it again. The chicken enchiladas were very good though.

This has been “one of those days”. A man and woman came in to the church a little while ago, wanting money for gas. The pastor wasn’t here and I explained that we don’t keep money on hand, but gave him a number to call the pastor. The man did all the talking and got quite confrontational. He kept arguing, challenging everything I said, and making comments that I was treating him badly because of his race.

I asked him to leave, but he wouldn’t. So I called the nurse who was in her office at the other end of the hall. Her husband was there with her. She came down to talk to him and he treated her the same way. So she started to dial the police on her cell phone and I called back down to her office and asked her husband to come to the office. The man finally decided to leave and we locked the door behind him.

Things like that don’t happen very often, but it is a little unnerving when they do.

Today is another hot day. It started out about 60 degrees, but is expected to get up to 93.

And life goes merrily on. . .just when I thought everything was falling into place again, I have plumbing problems in my bathroom and will need to call the plumber.
Later: The plumber came out this morning and fixed the problem fairly quickly.
