CHASING WIFI

For two days now I have been chasing the Wifi.. both at home and on the road. Believe it or not I have just entered into my third spot. I settled into my little desk area at the library and all of a sudden UH OH.. their system went on the blink. Good thing they announced it or I would have thought my laptop on the fritz.

They had the same problem last Friday.. boy that place sure clears out in a hurry once NO ONE can get on line. So I moved on to another spot and no longer is their service FREE, you have to make a purchase to get the code. So I settled for another spot at the local Hospital parking lot. Here I pick up limited connection, but at least I can get someplace.
Today is sunny here and in the 50′s.. had a very cool morning. I noticed that the price of gas had come down over the weekend to 2.82..big relief as it was nearly 3.00 last week. Visited the post office and bought stamps.. this old gal will never buy anything but the “FOREVER” stamps.. let me tell ya that was a genius idea. Why pay more just because you had some left over..


We had an appt to meet with the social worker in mom’s case and she has promised to try to move mom’s schedule so that we can get home before dark. I sure hope it is soon. Then I met with the clinical nurse in charge to go over all mom’s meds. GOOD NEWS..she can now stop two more of her meds. This means that she is well enough to not need them in her system at all. I questioned whether that would be okay with her DOCTOR in charge and she said she would make it SO. Hmm makes you wonder just who the heck is really running the ship! When one says one thing and another something else I QUESTION it!! I feel for those who don’t understand things it must be very very confusing to them. I see my laptop battery is getting low again.. will have to invest in an adapter soon so I can charge it in the car. I just hope I don’t have to do much more chasing wifi in the future, gas what it is.. well.. makes a person make hard decisions. Just glad the weather is okay and it is warm inside the car.






HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!

I hate that you have to chase WIFI. Is it possible to get a wireless hookup at your home?
I think the facebook group is a good idea, I am not much into facebook though and I don't play the games.
Hugs for you and mom.

My iPod uses wifi and if I am around a freebie I fire it up.

SO glad you may be getting somewhere with your mom's schedule Sis. What a constant concern.

Hi
Good job you had the sense to question about your mothers meds, some people just except what the Dr say's just because " they are the DR and what he / she say's must be right ".....I know from when my mum needed meds one Dr said one thing and another said another in the end she didn't need any.
By the way Carol how did you get your clock without all the add thing above it, i would like a clock on my blog.

Darn wifi making you run around like that. So happy to hear your mom has improved to the point of reducing her meds. I sometimes think nurses know more then the docs do. When my bil had his heart attack the doc at the ER didn't think he did but the nurse did and she said she's been there for 18 years and she thinks something is wrong so she took another ekg and found he did have an attack. I hate to think what would have happened if she hadn't been there.
Hugs

Amen Sherry experience sometimes is not counted on enough.. I take the nurses very seriously, especially the ones who have been around the dialysis center a long time.. They DO KNOW their stuff!!
