Garbage Out and a sadness

The saying is, Garbage in, garbage out.
Well the garbage is out tonight. It's been my job alone for a while.

Today I mailed in my Hospice evaluation of the service provided by their team. In most areas, I rated them excellent. I counted cuz they wanted to know. 26 days, I think, was the number. Amazing.

The cat likes the new laptop computer. He is marking it by rubbing against it with the side of his face. He likes the box it came in as well. Now Ketzl is sitting beside me on the couch. He is sitting on the grey and white blanket, purring.

The sadness is that we didn't succeed in getting a laptop computer. We could have gotten some kind of PC because Linda would not get a Mac despite the fact that 3 of the boys have them. But she couldn't find the one that met all her requirements for size, speed, accessories, etc etc etc. And those of us surrounding tried to help make it a reality in some way. The wireless network could have been installed earlier had we only gotten a laptop. But it never happened. What it meant is that essentially Linda was cut off from people and other things that she could have been in touch with via computer. Not just the blog. But connecting with people via email as well as keeping up on news and interesting articles and just plain surfing.

And that makes me sad.

So I will make friends with the Mac and download my pictures on it. Ketzl has his head leaning on it right now. Very cute.

OK tomorrow is Friday everywhere but at the synagogue, it's busy. Lots of activity for the weekend, too. Thank goodness the toe is better and Christine and I have resumed walking. It felt really good this morning.
