Calvin threw a "cat fit" about 2 a.m. and after I ignored his meowing, he came flying through the bedroom hitting the blinds and making a big racket. I threw him out of the bedroom and shut the door. But I couldn't sleep so I soon got up and came out. Digger was crying in her bedroom too, and it was cold in there, so I let her out and fed her. As I write this, she is sitting on top of the computer tower grooming herself and Calvin is lying quietly in the rocking chair.

After church we went to Golden Corral for dinner. What a crowd! The food was good but it was like eating in a train station or a school cafeteria, so crowded and noisy. I don't think I will be ready to eat there again soon.

It was cold all day.

I didn't sleep much at all last night. I just tossed and turned and maybe slept an hour finally. I got up at 4:00 a.m.

I took short naps several times today to make up for it.

This afternoon I went to fill up the car with gas, but there were so many people in line at all the pumps that I gave up and decided to try again tomorrow.

We had fried chicken livers, mashed potatoes and peas for lunch.

For supper I had chicken gumbo soup by Progresso. Sis didn't want that, so she heated up the leftovers from lunch.

It was raining steadily and fairly heavily when I got up at 4:30 a.m. But later in the morning the sun started shining.

The three pair of slacks I ordered from Haband arrived today: black, navy blue, and bark brown. They fit great.

I got my hair done this afternoon.


When I got home from the beauty shop, I brought the potted plants in from the patio and put them in the garage as we are expecting freezing temperatures both tonight and tomorrow night.

It started raining during the night and was raining when I got up at 4:30 a.m.

We took two loads of Billye's things that had been stored in our garage to the church this morning for their upcoming rummage sale. Phoebe came later and helped Barbara price them.

At lunchtime, Sis and I went to Pizza Hut and had their pizza buffet.

The repairman came to fix the kitchen stove today but the new part didn't work either. He ordered another one and came back after 3 p.m. to install it. He tried it a couple of times and it worked, but later I tried to bake biscuits for supper and it acted up again. When the preheat time was up, it beeped and showed an error message. We had to unplug it for a few minutes, just like we did before.

We had chicken florentine and whole wheat biscuits for supper.

The bunco group met today. Phoebe played bunco with them.

After work I went to H&R Block and got my taxes done. My refund will be deposited directly into my checking account.

I got up at 3:30 a.m. I had a banana for breakfast with toast and peanut butter.

Phoebe and I took some things to church for the rummage sale, then she stayed for a couple of hours and helped Barbara sort and price them. But her back got to hurting so bad that she had to go home and rest for awhile.

At lunch time I went to What-a-Burger and got us each a patty melt sandwich on Texas
Toast. I had a coupon to supersize a patty melt meal, so I got that and an extra patty melt sandwich so we could each have one and share the large fries and Diet Dr. Pepper.

The new part for the kitchen range was delivered this afternoon. The company is to send someone out Thursday to install it.

For supper I had a container of peach-mango yogurt and a banana. Later Phoebe made brownies for tomorrow's bunco game and I ate one of those.

When I got up this morning it was only 64 degrees inside. The furnace isn't working. I will have to call the heating company this morning to come check it. No wonder I had to pull on extra blankets during the night.

We got Wilks Heating to come out this morning and he had to replace the pilot light assembly. He will send us a bill.

We went to Snoga's for supper. I had chicken-fried steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, mixed fruit, and a slice of wheat bread.

Then we went to Office Depot and I bought ink cartridges for both my printer and the one at the office, 11x17 paper for the office, a book of postage stamps for the office, and a telephoe and duplex telephone jack for my fax machine at home. I'm having trouble getting it hooked up right though.
