@naturegirl5 oh my word what a week!!!!
So Thurs morning the "distribution supervisor" for the power company shows up... nope not their lines.... he tells me to call the gas company that has power lines that run to their wells... Well of COURSE there's not a phone number online for them locally BUT i just happened to know where their main office in the area is...so what did i do? yep...after he left i jumped in my xterra and headed out to the town where the office is and marched my indignant self right into the office to file a complaint... and of COURSE there was no one there but the one signing for packages etc...showed him the pics, gave him my info and so forth and he said he'd have someone contact me in the morning (friday) when they came in...he said he'd send the info over right then so they'd see it first thing....
so i ventured back to the cabin and proceeded to work on assorted items there for a little bit only to realize i was out of some things i THOUGHT were there....so....then in the afternoon i ventured off to the town in the other direction ( its about halfway between 2 towns) to the walmart to pick up batteries and a few other things (found a new pair of shoes in the old school colors to wear to the reunion for only $10 on clearance!!)... then a stop by the dollar tree to grab some of the cheap "moisture eliminator" things ($1.25 each) and couple other things from there... THEN on to the SCV meeting that I'm an auxiliary member of that I've not been able to go to for awhile because its up there and i'd not been able to go ...its held in the meeting room of the local grocery store so i had sushi for supper while that was going on lol.. then grabbed bag of ice for cooler on way out door to take home....

Got back to the cabin and getting settled in and what do i hear? yep critters...sounds like 1) a mouse in the area above me and 2) there was a coon outside digging up the flowers i had planted....fortunately easy enough to scare him off.... turned music on in cabin and hopefully that scared off the other critter (or least i couldn't hear it lol)

Fri morning arrived and nope no phone call... but son and roomie showed up to redo my solar panels and omg they did a number on it...i can now run internet all night without batteries draining...who knew being set up differently with the new charge controller would make such a difference 🙂 they built me a new compost pit, moved a bunch of stuff, took my son on a hike up above the cabin and realized that was NOT a good idea ....was about dead by time i got back down etc... then took them to lunch as payment for all the work they did... so after they left i was still piddling around and finally about 5ish they called from the gas company...telling me they would be there about 930 on Monday morning to "look at it and see if there was anything they could do about it" so that told me i was gonna be staying longer than i planned...

Anyways got up Sat morning, and my car wouldn't start...wouldn't even click...called pastor up the holler from old church, he came down, gave me a boost, seen what a disaster the gas company had left the trees, and got me on my way lol... went to reunion and omg it rained and rained and rained...but gotta give them credit, they had moved EVERYTHING indoors except the food trucks but they pulled them straight up to the tents so you didn't even have to get out from under the tents to order!! met one of my mom's best friends from school...she was 85 and still getting around good and i swear looked maybe 70? showed her a pic i had uploaded to fb years ago of her with my mom and another friend when they were teenagers lol...she couldn't believe it... spent HOURS with 2 of my best friends from high school (i'm on the left in the pic, the one on the right is the one i stripped in the gym with in 8th grade before gym class)... Had a wonderful day but dang i was exhausted by time i got back to cabin...not to mention sick from all the junk food lol... you know doughnuts, funnel cakes, kettle corn, etc...crashed out early from the busy day...

Anyhow Sun was a day spent going to 2 different churches up there, sharing my cancer journey and seeing old friends and finally got to come home yesterday after the gas company supervisors had been out to "look over the property and determine if it was something one of their crews had done" NEWS ALERT...DUH yes it was...but after i got home late yesterday afternoon i got a call saying yes they had determined it was and they will be back Wed to clean up and of COURSE i'm gonna be there for it...gotta make sure they do a good job after the mess they left...and people wonder why i struggle sometimes and need blood...its like geez people with the life i live i HAVE to keep going... we have someone coming to the cabin on the 10th to stay for a month...gotta get it ready!!! and so...that was last week...thank goodness i'm on up weeks atm...next chemo is the 9th...
