Little Moon Farm...

We will be moving to the farm soon. They have hooked up the power and septic. We need to get the water hooked up. The AC man is coming out tomorrow, to install the unit on Daughter and Son-in-Law's new home. They put up a mail box on Saturday, so that we can start to receive mail out there. All 4 of the electric accounts are in my name. Daughter needs to change the one for the house to her name. That way, when they go to enroll grandson in school, they will have a utility bill in their name to show as proof of living in district. That is the excuse that the school board used for side stepping the issue of grandson's long hair.

The only problem we haven't figured out yet is Internet access. We need a local phone line installed, and they can't tell us how much that will cost, because they need to come out and see... There is no DSL out there, we will be stuck with dial up most likely. That will be hard on daughter's business, as they need to download large photo files from different photographers, and that is nearly impossible with dial up.

I've been going round and round with the electric company that reads the meters. They had their own lock on our gate. We interlocked the 2 of them. That way they could get in to read the meters, and we could get in to feed, ETC. Well, one afternoon I arrived to feed and was locked out. The meter reader had not interlocked the 2 locks, just locked the gate with their lock, and I couldn't get in. Needless to say, I was very angry. I called and they radioed the meter reader on that route, so that he could come back, but it took at least 30minutes for him to return. I had him take his lock with him, telling him to send postcards, and we would read our own meters. WELL... They don't DO that any more. I called someone in the meter department to give him the combination to our lock, but he hasn't called me back.

My skin is healing up well. There are still some pretty bad spots, but now it is mostly spots, and not the whole area of my right breast, armpit, and underarm to my elbow, like it was. I have the gel dressings, but I'm only using them during the day when I'm moving around, to prevent and treat chaffing. I've slept the last 2 nights without them.

I went out and bought 4 new bras the other day. I'm going to throw away the old ones. They are worn out and stained from the marks from radiation. I'm sewing cheese cloth onto the elastic of the new ones, to prevent problems with the latex in the elastic. I can wear them without it about 4-5 times, but after that, the rubber in the elastic starts to peek through the elastic, and I start to break out, and chafe. That is not a good thing.
