Friday, June 28, 2019 – Trip To Cookeville for Comm Unit and Supplies

Got a call late yesterday from our nurse in Tullahoma, saying that she finally received the comm unit that will allow us to be able to use an Ipad with our dialysis machine rather than all those paper reports that I have to do now, so we arranged to meet at 9:00 today in Cookeville to pick it up. While we were there, we went shopping, filled 3 of our 4 propane tanks because we wanted to be sure to have enough energy for next week when we’re going to be in the Daniel Boone National Forest without electricity, had breakfast at IHOP where we met a group of ladies who bred German Short-hair Pointers and who were admiring Lola, who was lying under the table with us. One had just come from the courthouse finalizing her divorce and was rather upset, naturally. In his usual way, Hubby offered words of encouragement, so hopefully she will be inspired to move forward in her life and not dwell too much on the past. It was nearly 1:00 when we got back to camp, and after unloading the groceries, covering up the hay because it was starting to cloud up, and starting Hubby’s dialysis, the afternoon went quickly. We are so tired of watching modern movies where the only resolution seems to be that someone has to die in order to resolve whatever the issue is, I checked out the Amazon Prime library of pre 1969 classics, and found a long list of great old movies, which we started watching. So nice to have movies where Good vs. Evil is clear-cut, the bad guys can be redeemed or otherwise get what they deserve, and it is possible to still have a happy ending. What a relief! It made the afternoon go quickly and enjoyably. I’ve been told there’s no cell phone signal at the next horse camp, so I expect we’ll be doing a lot of reading, which is fine by me. Of course, no cell service means no television, as we left our satellite dish back at the house. Had an enjoyable evening, and looking forward to tomorrow, when, weather permitting, I plan on taking a long ride on Flash.
