Slept later than usual (must be the warmer weather), took care of the horses, then started to tackle the job of getting the alternator off. I managed to get it mostly done until I had to remove the serpentine belt, then I enlisted Jeff to help me long enough to remove that. He had an online coupon for Advance Auto, so I ordered the new alternator online and got 20% off, yay! He drove me downtown to get it, but before I was able to put it on, I had to get Hubby on his dialysis session. I had trouble with his access again. After a discussion with one of his nurses, we decided to try to recover his original buttonholes, but I had to use a sharp to find his arterial, it just wasn’t flashing like it should, and I couldn’t even find his old venous buttonhole, so I started a new one which I hope will work out. It took quite a bit of finagling, but I finally managed to get him going, and after that, it was an uneventful session, thank goodness. I was able to finish putting the alternator in (again, the only help I needed was for Jeff to help me get the serpentine belt back on), I got the trailer hooked up with electricity and water and got the awning out, so it’s more like home. I’d like to get the screen room and carpet out, but can’t until we move this pile of cement blocks, which Jeff said he wanted to move anyway, so that’s another chore on our ever-growing list. It’s been cloudy and rainy ever since we got here, I sure hope the weather clears up, I’m looking forward to sitting by the pool some fine afternoon! Meanwhile, we’re trying to get caught up on as much rest as we can, Hubby has been so weak since getting out of the hospital, and I’m still tired from all of the nonstop activity of the past couple of weeks. Didn’t get much today, but maybe tomorrow!
