Good Afternoon/Evening! Sorry you had trouble with that ID again, Barbara. At least you have a passport. Glad you continue to feel good and your weather is nice. It is very dark and a little rainy here this afternoon. Really wish we would get a good, soaking rain.
Hope R carries the two bags, Claudia. I'm sure packing isn't too easy when you have cats helping. Hope R gets his MRI results soon.
The lunch program went pretty well, but it always takes me extra time when I have to do the salad bar -- mainly because I also have to do lots of my regular jobs with the hot meal since others mostly just serve and don't do the set up (taking temperatures, etc.) and cleaning.
The deputy boss was there today since the boss wanted to do some school shopping for her kids. The deputy's husband, who has always been in good health and very active, had some sort of heart issue (not sure if it was a heart attack, but probably close) on Saturday night, and just came out of the hospital today. Fortunately, one of their daughters and family are staying with them, so she could stay with her Dad. Her grandson came and helped distribute the dessert -- super kid.
I'm getting the second door estimate tomorrow afternoon. I was telling my boss about it, and she told me about a place nearby. Long story short, I went there, and they are coming next Wednesday to give me an estimate. Small place, and the owner does the estimate, which is also true of the one tomorrow.
Interesting about your front door, Barbara. I am thinking about not having that door done. It isn't even a tall door, and the estimate from the first place was nearly $1,400 per door. If I don't have that door made, I will probably try to have the frame fixed a little since there are holes due to the old screen door being taken down, Plus, I would like to see if some sort of treatment/coating could be put on the wooden door -- it is original (1972), and very nice, but the sun and dust have not been kind.
I talked to DD who said she would not get the security screen door for the front since I don't use that door often, and the wood door is pretty. I know that I won't pay $1,400 for a very plain security door on the front, and probably neither door. This is a nice house, but modest and not in a high crime area.
I will be answering the phones in the hospice office tomorrow morning and the door person will be here in the afternoon, so I think tomorrow will be busy. I am glad I was able to go to the pool yesterday and the gym today. Unfortunately, one of my gym buddies really hurt herself on a piece of equipment there -- she had not used it before and sat on it rather than going on her knees. The machine threw her off, and now she has a fracture(?) on her back. Her husband said she is in a lot of pain, but is trying to avoid taking her prescribed opioids. Really makes me happy that I don't try machines I don't know how to operate (like that one.) Yikes!
Hope both of you sleep well.
Hugs,
Linda
ETA -- My boss told me that they had a large (basically double) security screen door made for their house) and it cost about $2.500, so I guess $1000 plus isn't out of line for a single door, but.....
