An Interesting Day...To Say the Least!

And, just where to start on telling today's tales? I guess at the beginning is usually the best place to start. Woody headed out pretty early to get groceries and he was home and had them put away before I got up. He was home a while and then he headed out to go to the library and also make a hospital visit (and go back to the grocery store to find some canned tomatoes that he had purchased but didn't get home with). The library stop went fairly smoothly (at least I heard no tales). And, the bag of groceries was at the store when he stopped back by. Then the interesting part of the trip started...when he went to the hospital. He headed to the room that he had visited in earlier in the week...but no one there...it took several tries to find someone to ask whether the patient had been released or just moved to another room. He finally found someone who knew that he had been released, but she had heard that he had had to come back to the ER this morning. So Woody got on the elevator to go to the ER...the elevator doors closed...he pushed the floor he needed...NOTHING happened...he pushed the floor button several times...still nothing...so he pushed the door "open" button...NOTHING happened...so he had to use the emergency phone in the elevator. He said that the elevator finally started moving and that someone from hospital security met him when the doors finally opened...though they didn't open on the floor that he had wanted to be on. It was explained to him that that elevator didn't go to the floor that he wanted to go to and that this mistake happened quite often. Woody headed to a different elevator and finally got to the floor that he needed to be on. My question still is...if that elevator doesn't go to that floor then why is that number on the elevator panel...or at least why isn't there a sign that says that this elevator doesn't go to a certain floor??? Oh, well, all's well that ends well!!! While Woody was off on his "adventure," I got underway with some cleaning that needed to be done here. I can say that the family room is much cleaner...except where the Monopoly game is ongoing...I decided that it would be best to wait to vacuum back there till after the game was over and put away. I don't want to vacuum up any playing pieces or houses or hotels! They have played at the game several times today, but it is still ongoing. I also did some cleaning in the kitchen. I planned to clean more, but my energy level gave out...as well as my back said that it was time to stop. The two pictures of Elijah show that he is getting ready for their Africa (Uganda) trip. This is his suitcase. His daddy has made him special stilts that can be folded up to fit in the suitcase. He will pack his clothes around them. He was so excited to show us his suitcase. Then he took it back home and a little later he came back looking for his suitcase. I reminded him that he had taken it home. We told him to retrace his steps! He thought that he had gone back in their front door...but since he found it in the garage...guess he must have gone in that way! At least it is found!
