Well, I guess just because...

 Hello - Howdy - Good Morning - How y'all doin'?  Sup?  Good ta see ya today.

And it goes on and on.

MONDAY!!!!

Only 1 phone call to buy my "not-for-sale" house today.  Monday is usually the prolific day for buying houses - apparently.  It's a rent house.  It's rented. Why would anyone sell a rented house?  Normally, I get 3 to 4 calls on Monday.  Must be something wrong with the Chinese real estate market.

First thing I dood this morn, is to step out on the front porch and spray poison on a wasp nest.  They had created a nest 5 inches across, covered with yellow jackets - busy little monsters.  These are not those little ones that are somewhat beneficial.  These are the ones that get mad and attack in mass.  The nest was right above the door attached to the porch light.  They're gone.  Nasty little beggars.

Next thing - sat in chair to read paper.  Wife came up and said she was going for a walk.  I said to wait while I put real shoes on.  She did.  I did.  Walked to the door and it started raining.  Saved!!!!  She rode the indoor bike instead.  Now, she naps.  I'm hungry.

The spouse has an appt. in January with a doctor in Temple.  Fine.  BS&W sent a message that the doctor was transitioning to a new role at the hospital.  We should call XXX-XXX-XXXX and re-schedule with Dr. XXXXXXX.  Actually, this would not be a reschedule; it is a schedule.  So after 3 weeks of muttering to my self (I hate having to break new doctors in  -  dot dot dot  -  not that the old doctor even remembers us coming in last year, but new is still new.)

I called appropriate phone number.  I went through all the phone options and chose correctly.  Lady answered.  I explained.  She transferred me to another lady.  I explained.  I had to go through all the hoops:  wife's name, date of birth, phone number, address, color of great grandmother's eyes, favorite food, graduated from what elementary, does she like to eat fish --- you know the process.  I guess it serves a purpose.

Finally, the phone lady explains she cannot schedule the appointment.  A secretary would have to call me back sometime in the next 24 to 48 hours.  I rolled my eyes (unseen by the phone lady of course).  Lady hung up - but I stayed on to answer a one question survey.  Guess what they asked.  How was the phone lady 1 to 5 with 5 being the best.  She got a 5.  Nonsense.  Now, I wait.

1:20     Late for lunch snack.  Wife still naps.  Dogs all napping.  I feel left out...snore
