Up
early, major stress as I tried to get some more credit cards processed for the
client, pick up the mail (did take time for my “normal” coffee), dash to the
doctor’s (how is it that for a 9 a.m. appointment, I didn’t get in until 9:23!
Imagine the poor souls whose appointments are later in the day), another rush
to pick up the prescription for my high blood pressure meds (hmmm, wonder if
all the rushing is what causes the high blood pressure?). Back home to throw
the rest of my mountain essentials (clean towels and sheets) into the car then
on-the road-again (some 18 hours after I returned).
A
stop for lunch followed by the search for a “perfect” (do I hear laughter)
printer: lightweight, but capable of printing photos as well as letters, also
require separate ink cartridges and quality for a low price…hope I have at
least managed some of those items. Also wi-fi so that I won’t risk my life
tripping over the cord (I still have the internet one to contend with, but as I
have a super long one I can make it low enough so that it is only a minor risk
whereas the printer cord stretched across the kitchen and had to be stepped
over at waist height). Another quick stop at my favorite highway station for
English magazines… no luck. Then on to the grocery store for supplies for the
next few days and my afternoon coffee, before facing the drive up the mountain
and detour to my summer rental.
Great
weather though and am now happily ensconced leaving my housemate’s daughter to
keep the house safe and water the flowers: we went from winter and 13° to
summer and 28° without any transition – I’m still in dark trousers and
long-sleeved shirts, won’t believe that it is going to last until perhaps another
week has gone by with no brutal return to winter!
Looking
out at one of my favorite views – clouds burgeoning over the Dents de Morcles (Teeth of the Morcles).
