today . . he
Yes I can!
Bureaucracy . . don't you love it! I had an appointment with my dr. at the dialysis center this afternoon at 1:30. Since we're down to one car and Steve had to be at work at that time, and I am trying to be self-sufficient and not a burden on anyone else, I called DART to check on using the transportation system to get me home. I see the little yellow flex-line bus pass my house several times a day so I figured no problem. Wrong! Anyway, I called them and they said yes, the flex-line bus could pick me up at my dialysis center and bring me close to the nearest stop to my home. I called today as soon as my appointment was over and he said he could pick me up at 2:07. I asked if they would come to the door or should I stand out front. He said if I could be at the curb it would be helpful. So at 2:10 I called as I hadn't been picked up and was told they were caught in traffic but on the way there. At about 2:20 I see the van on Shiloh turning and going north - not south to where I was. I called ... reply "can't cross Plano Parkway". I'd have to walk up to Plano parkway to be picked up. Started walking up there and he picks me up nearly there. At that point, he said I'd have to be at 14th and Shiloh to be picked up in the future and then after I gave him my fare, I was told he'd have to drop me at Shiloh and Park. Didn't have time to stop at my stop. By this time I was frustrated. Oh yes, I was carrying a box of dialysis supplies in my arms all this time as well. So I got off in front of Albertson's and started walking home. He passed me walking not once, but twice. Didn't have time though to drop me at Peachtree though. I'm ticked! Did I mention its 90 plus degrees here today?
Yesterday was interesting. I woke up at 6:45 a.m. to hear the missionaries vacuuming their room. When I approached them about it, didn't get a real friendly reply.
On an up note, I got my laundry done and got my ironing done yesterday. Big accomplishment though. I felt like my insides were going to fall out before I had finished the ironing, but I got it done!

DART is frustrating!! David was riding the bus until we moved -- now I drive the bus. I'm sorry to hear you had that experience in the heat.
I have a big basket of ironing. Seems having a bigger place it's easier to put things aside and "hide" them. ;)
Your visiting teacher would love to come and pick you up any time and would never consider you a burden. Please call!!!
My mother used to sprinkle her ironing, put it in a bag, and hide it in her freezer.
