Week of Sunday September 22nd through Saturday the 28th NEW TRIPADVISOR ACCOUNT: CarolynjunetravelsWeek

 SUNDAY:  I watched the church service online.  Craig and Jen announced their vision for Freedom Church's future, which is GROWTH.   I cannot say that I am happy about this.  Mostly because when I first became a Christian in 1972, the Pastor had a vision for growth, also.  The vision never materialized, but the church survived.  

      I still feel fine and don't think I have picked up COVID.  I will stay home until it is time to go out tomorrow evening for my sleep study UNLESS I start to feel sick tomorrow and if that happens, I will call Sleep Insights and see if they think I should reschedule.

I went over to Peggys house to see if a package has been delivered.  It has not.  I went to Walmart and purchased a rotisserie chicken and then to Little Caeser's where I purchased the lunch special again.  It really is a good deal.  I had three pieces of pizza for lunch.  I took a nap in the afternoon.  I started reading the book TERRI THE TRUTH by Michael Schiavo.  It is interesting. 

Before my trip, when I was on the phone with a Spectrum tech.  I deleted cookies, etc. from my laptop.  I lost my TripAdvisor account and was not able to figure out how to access it again.  So, basically, I started a new one.  

I chatted with Megan online.  She and Chris are very happy because they facetimed with Tyler and he seemed happy and has made a few friends, and he seems to like his new apartment.  I had tears in my eyes when she told me that, since I have been concerned about him and praying for him.  

MONDAY:  I worked on a few things necessary to get ready for my Allegany trip. I talked with Maggie on the phone a couple of times.  Kat has decided to not accompany us.   SLEEP INSIGHTS called to remind me of my sleep study tonight.  I went in at eight thirty p.m.

Tuesday:  The Sleep Study was awful.  I did sleep a couple of hours and hopefully it was enough for the machine and technician to get an accurate reading.  I went to the Ladies Life Group and then came home in time for a quick lunch and then Amanda from WellBe came for a meeting, something to do with my health insurance.  I took a nap.  When I got up I felt like cooking, so I tore some meat off of the rotisserie chicken and made a casserole of spaghetti, canned tomato chunks, onions, peppers and mushrooms and the chicken.  It was pretty good.  I called Maggie and we agreed to meet at my house at ten or ten thirty on Thursday morning.  

WEDNESDAY:  I went to A T and T and purchased an iPhone.  I also went to the Y and walked with Jan for a half an hour.  I picked up a small sandwich at JERSEY MIKES, took it home and had it for lunch.  I called AAA and paid for the next years premium.  I spent about twenty minutes sweeping up chestnuts and leaves from the street and put them in a trash can.  Msg'd with Cindi in the evening and it seems like Karen will be coming to ASP!!!!   I put together a list of restaurants in Bradford and Salamanca, and sent it to Cindi.  I called Paula to see how she is doing (good!) and she told me that Mike Pillot passed away.

THURSDAY:  Maggie came over this morning and we planned our meals for the days she will be with me in Allegany State Park.  We each have a list of food items to bring.  After she left, I decided to do my shopping for the trip.  I went to Aldi, Dollar Tree, WalMart and Niagara Produce.  Between WalMart and Niagara Produce I went to Peggy and David's house and their package from DISH had been delivered, so I picked it up.  There was a strange car (red Toyota Rav4) so I called Peggy to tell her that.  She had told a neighbor that she could park her car there while their driveway being paved. When I got home, there was a phone message from Karen.  She will be coming with Cindi to ASP for the last four nights of my week there. Hooray!!!!  I sent her a video of one of the Parallel cottages.   I spent the rest of the day at home.  I added contacts to my new phone, and then charged it.

FRIDAY:  I wanted to call Maggie using my new IPhone which I bought two days ago.  But I couldn't figure out how to get to the place to make a call.  I tried calling A T and T but that did not work. So, I returned it to the store since I had fourteen days in which to change my mind.  Lucky for me, T.J. the guy who sold it to me was there in the store. He offered to show me a few things, but I declined. I don't think A T and T is for me.  Plus, that I phone was going to cost me a LOT of money over three years.

After dealing with the phone, I met up with Jan at the Y and we walked a half an hour, and I also went to Aldi to get a few items. 

I continued working on packing, mainly getting my medications and personal hygiene items into a small Vera Bradley bag that Peggy gave me. I swept up chestnuts and leaves off of the front sidewalk and added them to the trash can.  I boiled potatoes and refrigerated them and will make potato salad.  tomorrow.  I watched the movie RETURN TO THE HIDING PLACE in the evening.  I charged my tracphone and my chrome book.  I called Bob to let him know that I am going away and he will be "on call" for any issues with Carrie.

SATURDAY:  I didn't sleep great last night, the two Tylenol PM didn't help as much as they did on previoius nights.e  Off and on all day, I worked on packing.  I made a potato salad and a coconut custard pie.
