July 9th. Thursday

Well I can lock the front door, but I still can't swim in the pool. I can get into the pool, but it is still to cool to stay very long. It stays in the 50's to long in the morning, it got up to 81 today, but it took most of the day to do it. I did hear from the heater guy and he said he will be here first thing tomorrow. We will see what time first thing in the morning turns out to be.

I feel almost normal today, my BS was 175 which is about normal these days. I'm eating well and my apatite is back. To bad I only have four days until it starts all over again.

It's been a very busy day, up at 6am and out to Lowes by 7am and had keys made for the house. We have lived here since 1997 and had only one key to the house. We come and go by the garage doors, so we almost never use the front door. We now all have keys.

After taking care of that task I had to see how Lance Armstrong was doing in the Tour de France. We have something in common. We have both had cancer and the same Doctors cured him that are going to cure me. They have his jersey from the Tour, hanging in the office. I was actually talking to their office when Lance looked like he won the yellow jersey once again. He got beat out by 00.22 of a second. They show him in 2nd place but with the same time as the man in first place. They are now going into the mountains and it will change very quickly. His team has a great chance of winning the team trophy, but they don't expect Lance to win this year. we'll have to see. He's looking pretty good to me.

After the race I had to take Louis and his family to the hospital to see his uncle who is in bad health with small heart attacks coming often. They fear for his life. He will be 81 next week.

At about 6:30pm Cate and her gang came over for pictures. Maura wanted to capture them all together before she leaves. She was going to leave tomorrow, but has decided to leave Saturday in stead. Cate was leaving tomorrow also but is now going to leave late Saturday or early Sunday. She will be living with a girlfriends family for at least the first week of work. She is still looking for a more suitable location to live, until she can find a condo to buy. She missed out on the one we found that was $30,000 under the market. It will take a while to find another great buy.

It's now 8pm and everyone has left, so I think I will retire to the TV room. More tomorrow.
