A Bad Week....Continues

I am once again explaining the slow posts......

We have had the week & 1/2 from hell.....

First of the week we had to put down our "Bandit"...our 13 year old cat....we had from from kitten on....he had diabetes, hyperthyroid, etc.....It was difficult...

The Duchess' Mom is in the hospital, as she had been for 1.5 weeks, and now it got serious.... we thought she might not make it through Saturday night. We have family in from Seattle, Houston, etc. Hospice is now involved.

Last night we came from a short, enjoyable, family 4th celebration by my family to find we had no power at home....turns out the transformer for the area...behind our home...was blown for reasons unknown. Relpaced at 2:30AM......we slept little.....Then the water was bad....pressure dropped due loss of electricity, and we "sucked" sand, etc. into the house. Now cleaning all the faucet screens.....

& The blowing of the electric apparently flew the modem for our cable attachment out the window. The modem is bad and must be replaced (Wednesday, of course, as this is a Holiday!)....
Welcome to our world!
