Thursday I had my semi-annual eye doctor appointment. This was the long one (one hour and 15 minutes) in which I get all kinds of eye tests including a visual field test for my glaucoma. Everything went well. After the appointment we went out to eat at Longhorn Steakhouse courtesy of the gift card that I had earned! :-) I had chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, ranch dressing, Brussels sprouts and a salad...oh, and their special bread. My chicken tenders were overdone; and the coating on the chicken could have broken a tooth. The manager came over and asked how our dinner was. When I told him, he immediately whisked my food away and had the kitchen remake my dinner. I had a whole new dinner to take home. Very good customer service. I called the Council on Aging a while back; and now we are set up to receive Meals on Wheels. Sooooo, 5 days a week we will receive healthy, home cooked meals. No more relying on soup, yogurt and protein bars for me! I will let you know how they are. Bad news on the other house front: I knew that the house had cracks in the foundation which were letting in water; and I knew that the foundation was possibly starting to sink; BUT a manager came out from Ohio State Waterproofing and gave us the bad news. We have major foundation issues and major water issues to the tune of $20,000. The waterproofing that we had done in the basement by B-Dry has to be torn out and redone in another way. We have mold growing everywhere and water trapped in the walls AND the foundation is failing. After much discussion, we are getting the job done. We don't have much chance to sell the house "as is" for much, even if we sell to a flipper/cash buyer. They will be doing the basement, the room off of the garage and the garage. When it rains, it pours. So what's going on in your life? Better things I hope! Have a good weekend; and stay happy, healthy and safe! Photo Credit: In an email from a friend
