Robin's Roost - rest your feathers!
In typical Florida-fall fashion, we needed the air conditioning the weekend of the Greek Food Festival, but by the end of the next week at Halloween, we needed to have the heat on! I did get to open the doors and windows for a few glorious days, which was lovely. We dodged a bullet with Hurricane Melissa, I feel terrible for the people in Jamaica, they will be recovering from this storm for a long, long time - kind of like our area and Hurricane Michael. Given all of the trees we took down over the past couple of years, I figure that has contributed to the storms avoiding this area, had we *not* taken them down, we may have gotten another Hurricane Michael-type storm and had another tree (or 3) on the house! Kind of like if you want it to rain, wash your car!
I did wind up buying myself a new laptop and I got a docking station for my old one and Ray is now using my old laptop so his very old, very slow, very tired tower computer can retire. My old laptop is so fast compared to his old desktop he can't get over it. It took me several days to set up my new laptop and get the software all installed, and of course there were a few things I forgot until I needed them. But it is a nice machine and works well. I hope it will live for many, many years.
Have you voted yet? No? There is still time. So long as Don Swaby receives your ballot either by snail mail or email by December 1, your vote will be counted in the election. I am aware this seems unnecessary given that no one is running against anyone else, but it is still a requirement for the group, and we need to follow our bylaws. If you can't put your hands on your ballot, you can find it in the October newsletter which you can find on our web site. Please take a few minutes to vote before December 1.
I am waiting to find out if I have to have arthroscopic surgery on my knee. I fear I have torn the meniscus. I had an MRI done and am waiting to see the doctor again to get the results and his recommendation. It would be nice for it to stop hurting, but I'm not thrilled at the idea of the surgery. My sister assures me it is no big deal (she had it done some years back, but still!
I hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving with your family, friends, or family of choice. Hope to see you at dinner this month!
