The new HVAC is installed and working. It’s very quiet if we are in the basement. I can’t even tell if it’s running when I’m upstairs. That’s a welcome change.
The week went by fairly quickly for Danita and me, but for different reasons. Danita suffered from frustration trying to get medicine to Bud. She isn’t permitted to go to Bud’s apartment. She can drop off a bag of stuff, or Bud can take a bag of stuff down for Danita to pick up. The frustration came in trying to explain to Bud what stuff Danita wants. Danita made two round trips to Riderwood this week and has called either Bud or Riderwood at least once a day. It looks like this might be resolved Monday, when the last medicine is due to arrive at the drugstore.
My week went by quickly because I was working on a project to change the security system for our website. Several residents contribute content to the website. We fence them off so they don’t step on each other’s toes. The old system was incredibly complicated, failed if we updated the software, and in general was falling apart. The new system is simple, clean and works very well. I spent most of the week doing tests with this website. Today I spent all morning installing the new system (took about an hour) and removing the old (took about 4 hours). It’s all up and running, the documentation is written, and everything looks great.
Another thing that’s helped is that supplies are more available. Danita has been able to buy ground beef, chicken, and bacon. Most paper products are still extremely scarce, but our household stock is in good shape.
Riding the bike has been great for me this last week. We’ve had mild weather and there’s less traffic. I have some rides that use trails. Unfortunately, those aren’t fun because there are so many people out walking. But riding the streets is great. Danita has been walking the neighborhood for her exercise.
We obviously won’t be traveling to see the grand kids for a while, so we did a video chat. It was fun.
That’s about it for us this week. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
