*sigh* EDIT: Coffee and vitamins helped. I pulled some weeds, sorted a bit more of the paper pile, paid another $25 to my cell phone to keep it from losing the money already in it, and called the handyman the pool guy recommended. He answered the phone and said he does work in my area. I tried to explain the job & he said he'd call me back in a few minutes. I hope so. Shall get some paper & try to cut giraffes to pass the time. Now... do I remember how to fold a snowflake for cutting? No, I don't remember. But I went to snowflake site and am trying to figure it out.

The handyman called back quickly, and says he'll come by tomorrow, sometime between 11 and 12 (he let me set the time). I have hope. He sounds intelligent, although English is not his native tongue and communicating may be problematic.

I say mildly, because my toilet flappers arrived yesterday & after installing one so far I have noticed no leaks, after an initial bit of frustration because the chain kept falling off the lever (my faithful Robogrip pliers seem to have fixed that.) When I was sorting out the packing, a sample packet of Jelly Bellies emerged-- why a plumbing products line gives out Jelly Beans is a mystery to me, but it's nice of them. It said 'modified food starch' on the packet, which often means 'wheat gluten', but googling says they're gluten-free. It's a pity I have never liked jelly beans.

Let's see... yesterday I got woke up early by my cell phone (I never take calls on it, so I am always startled when it rings or announces it has low batteries-- the first time it did that I went around the house checking all the smoke detectors. I don't even know HOW to answer it. Hmmm...should look up the booklet, I saw it recently.

The day before that, I got woke up early by thunder.

I am beginning to believe that something wants me up at 8:15 A.M. regardless of the fact that my usual bedtime is close to 2 A.M.

But I'm sooo tired and my shoulders ache... Ah! Of course. I keep forgetting to take my mid-day and evening vitamins! I must do that. My innards are still delicate & require extra coddling.

The first one is easy to remember, but after that I get caught up in the day. Butterfly brain is easily distrac.... ooh, look, a giraffe! Where! No, wait, it was an idea about making a quilt, oh, yes, no, maybe it was a teddy bear, then again, I could fold up a paper for snowflake cutting and make a giraffe, but wait, you need to take care of the pool and mow the yard, and ...

*tilt* Brain has shut down.
