Monday, December 28

Got up late this morning, and then did a treadmill session and weights exercises after breakfast. Mother came over and worked on her jigsaw puzzle while I got ready for the day. Didn't accomplish much before lunch.



After lunch, Hubbie and I ran errands...to a grocery store to get cottage cheese, to the Post Office, to the greeting card store (needed to buy a couple of cards to satisfy my points accumulation for the year, so that I can get special discounts in 2010), and then to the doctor's office, so Hubbie could be examined for a hernia he has developed over the past several weeks.



As we suspected, Hubbie will need to see a surgeon, who will schedule a time for hernia surgery. Hubbie's doctor said that the surgeon is over-scheduled right now, because another surgeon left town to work somewhere else, and his replacement is seriously ill. So the surgeon's office is to call with an appointment date as soon as possible, but it could be a while.



From the doctor's office, we went to the cable TV office to pick up a couple of channel listings, to the health store for 8-grain cereal and multi vitamins, and to the WDCS for groceries and incidentals.



It was about 3:30 before we got back home. We didn't do much else for the rest of the afternoon. Supper was leftover veggies, rice, and gravy. Mother went home after supper, and Hubbie and I relaxed for the evening.



I will need to get up early tomorrow morning, since Mother is scheduled for her second cataract surgery at 6:50 a.m. She's very ready to get the surgery over with, so she can get a new pair of eyeglasses.



Tonight, Hubbie and I watched a movie..."The Caller," rated PG-13. This 2008 movie stars Frank Langella and Elliot Gould. An energy company whistleblower sends an anonymous email with a video-clip attachment of a burial ground at the firm's factory in South America. The corporation in New York begins hunting the whistleblower. Fearing for his life, the whistleblower disguises his voice and hires a private detective to follow and find out all he can about an unnamed man, who turns out to be himself. The plot is a little hard to follow, since the movie starts with scenes from 1940's France, before moving to modern-day New York, and then does not reveal the connection until the end of the movie.
