What's Up

My phone line has an annoying crackling noise that comes in wet weather so it is a very time consuming and patience requiring process to get onto the Internet - if I get on I have to cross my fingers that I can be on long enough to get my messages downloaded before I lose the connection again.

So I am enjoying my half hour free access at the library! And enjoying free magazines - ooh, I miss subscribing to half a dozen magazines like I used to. My favourites are also expensive - like Harpers and the New Yorker (they keep cutting the price hoping I'll come back but I just can't justifiy it.

Also had my first mammogram today - at the insistence of a friend - I was going to wait for the 50 year mark. I guess being fuller has its advantages because I've had more painful moments sitting in front of the TV! It was a very good process - I got there a bit early and was actually out 3 minutes after my appointment time.

We started looking into those alarm buttons for people who risk falling. My mother-in-law insists she doesn't need one. We have a few weeks with her in Rehab to convince her - there is no way she should be living without one - she has fallen at least four times that we know of - twice breaking a hip.

I'll stick my ministry updates in a later post so people not interested can skip those - I will say that I think my sermon on Wednesday in class went well - we'll see what the prof says!
