The weather has been cool and raining, enough so that I had the fireplace on most of the day, Sunday. I still was pretty tired from Saturday's events, so did a few things around the house and then did nothing but watch t.v. and read.
Veteran man called and wanted to come over. I wanted to tell him no, but since he was so helpful in getting everything to the place it needed to be I didn't think I should. He did come over after dinner, he is always early, and we again sat and talked. He is a very patient and respectful man.
I had several emails from Desi during the day which was fine until the last email which he sent in Arabic. That just about put me over the edge. I fired an email back telling him that the least he could do is use the English alphabet. He immediately replied that he was just trying out the Google site and I should relax as it was nothing important. I had tried to get a translation but to no avail. When he knows I'm upset he tells me to relax....silly boy, not in my vocabulary.
This morning I decided to try another site, Bing, and lo and behold, after copy and pasting the words they came up in English. They wording was a little garbled but at least I got the gist of the whole message. He was right, it really didn't say anything. I think if I had been less tired and in a better mood I would have let the whole thing go, but I was totally snappy when I emailed him about the Arabic message.
I had an email this morning, early, from Veteran man begging me to go to breakfast with him Friday and to his house to see the new paint that the workmen just finished and then to go shopping for a fireplace log and mirror for the entry. He had asked me the night before when he was here and I said okay, but for some reason he wanted to affirm it again.
Yesterday I also had a nice conversation with my brother. He has always been a constant in my life.
So, things are okay, just need to get through this week to get to the hospital next week.
