NOTES:

Today has been partly cloudy with a high temperature of 67 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office and then to Walmart for my weekly supplies. I stopped by the AT&T office for a few minutes to get a little advise on my Iphone. I took a nap with Emmy and Tony. I put treats outside for the cats around 5:00 p.m. Thanks for your notes and thanks for reading the Good Things. Right now the schedule for the Good Things is every other night. I hope everyone can live with that without a problem.

The cats are fine. Rascal is in the recliner chair and I have seen the rest of them this evening.

Have a nice Friday, Everett.

NOTES:

We have had rain all day long that stopped just before nightfall. The rain started sometime after midnight and McAlester received over an inch according to news reports. High temperature today was 68 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office and then I went and voted. My pain pills finally arrived at Walgreen's after 2:00 p.m. today so I went to pick them up at around 4:30 p.m. I had taken my last one half of a pill this morning so they arrived just in time. I didn't do a Good Things last night. That may be the trend now doing them every other night, but I am not sure about that. I took a nap this afternoon with Emmy and Tony. I fed the cats their treats inside tonight due to the wet weather. Thanks for your notes and thanks for reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. Rascal is asleep in the recliner chair. The others are around somewhere and I think they are all inside. I have seen all of them.

Have a nice Wednesday, Everett.

NOTES:

Well, I didn't make it to church today. I neglected to get my high powered pain pills for my back ache refilled until Friday and by that time I found out that every pharmacy in McAlester was out of them. I have been cutting my pills in half in order to make them last until Tuesday when my pharmacy is supposed to have them. When I attend church I need a whole pill first thing in the morning to keep me from hurting in church for an hour or so. That is why I didn't attend church today. I am making it pretty good by taking one half of a pill. I have been taking it easy all day. I will take another half of a pill as soon as I finish the Good Things. I did miss going to church today.

The cats are fine. Rascal is in the recliner chair. I will get him in my lap in a little while when I get the garbage out on the street.

Have a wonderful Monday. Everett

Today has been mostly sunny with a high temperature of 60 degrees. Our first freeze of the winter will probably be tonight. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office and Walgreen's to leave a prescription. I took a nap this afternoon with Emmy and Tony. I made a quick trip to Walmart at 4:30 p.m. for an item. I put treats out for the cat around 5:45 p.m. I heard from my lab work today. There is nothing new wrong with me. I did have a bad infection two or three weeks ago but that has cleared up after I took the antibiotics. I still have my back problem and take three pain pills per day for back pain. As long as my back is not hurting too bad and I feel alright otherwise, I can still do the Good Things. Thanks for your notes and thanks for reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. Itty Bitty and Rascal are in the den with me at present. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Saturday, Everett.
