Full moon fun (5:35 am 1.22.08)

Big winds and off-and-on rain all week.

Mel's pine tree is suddenly huge, tall enough to fall onto her poor old house.

Sue was much worse this week because of her medication, but by Friday had decided to stop the medication.

Heard from Kelley in response to my email. New baby due 2/13.
And from Janet. Katie is in Cape Town, South Africa.

Saturday I tried to set up a trip using my United Air Lines $100 credit that expires Jan 31. Didn't work the first time. I'm going to have to call the toll-free number to get the credit.

Mercury Retro "storm" began Friday, Jan 28th. Officially begins the retrograde phase on Jan 25. Groan.
Ending date is 2/18 with the storm ending 2/26.

January 14-20, 2008

Mon: New Volvo battery (exchange).
Tried to find out if Larry is in jail. Nope. Not today at least.

Tues: Call from P&L. Bought new lock for Cabin 6 front door.

Wed: Tomorrow's the day of Mike's eviction.

Thurs: How many cops does it take to evict one drunk? One to post the notice and get him to the parking lot and three to come haul him away...
John tried to help & Mel gave the 3 cops info on where to find him (in his truck next to the sheriff's car).
I changed the lock.

Fri: Took photos & did about half of the written inventory.

Sat: Took a day off from the cabin. Went to Costco to breathe cleaner air and get some food.

Sun: Too soon to tell...

Jan 7-13, 2008

Mon: I think Sue had her doctor appt today.

Tues: New Moon.

Bobbie's lung tumors have shrunk (had a petscan). Tommie is leaving here Thursday--returning to Texas.

Wed: Now Mike's trying for KB's car.

Thurs: Received fax of Mike & KB's divorce. 04/08/1998. Filed 12/18/98.

Fri: Prepared report for the meeting Sunday.

Sat: Prepared for tomorrow's meeting.

Sun: Small meeting. No quorum. John did fill the holes in the driveway. Six of us enjoyed pizza.

A Christmas Card

The original art for this was by Elizabeth Goodrick-Dillon.

I just like it.

12/31/07 - 01/06/08

Like a cart with square wheels. Waiting for the catalog company to ship round wheels. Meanwhile, look for snow and use it like a sleigh.

Tues: I missed all of the overnight hoopla. Sleeping patterns stayed as usual. Then today--a New Year!

Wed: Returned PJs after all. I tried to like them, but they just weren't warm enough around the neck area.

Started searches for translucent roofing. Why block out all that natural light all day long? Australia is ahead of us on this.

Thurs: Couldn't find other PJs, but bought a pile of Land's End shirts. I'll keep trying.

Fri: Very Windy Day. I moved the cars up by the house in case of flooding. Movie "Tugboat Annie" was on. Very appropriate. This was also a very wet day. (Good movie too.)

Mel got bad news about Sue.

Sat: John says Mike got his eviction notice. Okay with me.

Our biggest & oldest Cypress tree started falling over today due to saturated soil & high winds. Matt's got it tied to the truck temporarily.

We are so fortunate to have our electricity on. So many people don't have any power today.

Sun: Quiet so far, but it's only 8:30 am. ...
