Vorlon Whispers

I had a doctor appointment today. I wanted to get established with a new doctor in the area. My niece recommended Dr. Collins but the office gave me an appointment with Dr. Mroz. She was very nice and very thorough. I still had that stye on my eye so she gave me a prescription for some antibiotic ointment.

The cold continues. The wind chill makes it so much worse. My nephew said yesterday it was 4 degrees. It seemed just as cold today. When I was walking Danny, I saw a couple ladies struggling with a tarp they were trying to put over their boat. I helped them out but pushing the tarp up over the boat. One lady got up in the boat because it was caught up on the top of the middle. We managed to get it up there and the second lady was attaching the bungie cords so I continued on my way. They caught up to me in their car and thanked me again for my help.

I was going to go to Middletown this afternoon but thought I'd put up the tree instead. I searched through my stuff and realized I must have thrown out my white plastic table cloth that I put under the tree and also the artificial snow that I put on the tree. I will have to get them when I go to Middletown. Next project was to mail my grandnephew, William's gift. I wrapped it and put it in the envelope and realized I may not have his current address. I think they moved. Now that project is on hold. When looking through the plastic tubs with my Christmas decorations, I found a few stink bugs. The d a r n critters managed to slither up under the lids of the plastic containers. One of the containers had a lock on each end.

For those of you who live outside of the Middle Atlantic States, we have had an invasion of stink bugs. There were thousands of them this summer swarming all around the houses and eating the farmers crops. They get their name from the pungent odor they give off if you kill them. The smell is sort of like paint thinner.

I looked in a couple clothing store yesterday and today. There are almost no corduroy pants for women. I saw some in Macy's but they were capri length. People who buy into global warming must design and make clothes. Most of the pants I saw were summer pants. Land's End and LL Bean have them but they are expensive. I have wool pants but they are lined and I have to wear tights under them because the lining becomes cold next to the skin. I like wide wale corduroys for winter when it becomes too cold for jeans.
