Taking care of the flu
I saw on the news this evening Jerry Demings being sworn in as the new Sheriff of Orange County. His wife Val Demings who is the Orlando Police Chief looked proud of her husband The outgoing Sheriff Kevin Berry will either take a teaching job in Virginia or work overseas in Afghanistan. I hope Kevin decides to take the teaching job. It would be a bit safer. Mom went to the doctor's office to get some medicine for the flu. She had bad symptoms and felt miserable. Hopefully the medicine will make her feel better and she will get a good night sleep. While we were getting her prescription, I stopped at the Fountain breakfast and lunch food place and got a grilled cheese sandwich with french fries.The cook was singing songs from the 1950's along with the local radio station WSBB. I told him he had a nice voice and he thanked me. I also got served by Josh from Delaware. He will always stick in my mind because Lillian my former lunch buddy use to date a guy named Josh before she started dating her future husband Aaron. Lillian is also moving to Delaware after she gets married. Plus, she is taking her family with her to Delaware. They will be living close by so she can visit them often. She will be apartment hunting in February for her parents and Uncle. Josh gave very nice service as a food server, so I tipped him. The music at the doctor's office where mom went for her appointment was playing songs I was familiar with and could easily sing and rock away. The doctor I normally go to doesn't play any music in his lobby. I was talking with my Uncle from California and asked him "why do doctor's stay healthy working around sick patients?" Both my Uncle and I were puzzled, but my Uncle thought the doctor builds up an immunity to the sick virus. Mom made a big salad for dinner and I just had a small chocolate sugar free pudding for dessert. It was a nice way to round out the day.

Did your mom get a flu shot at the beginning of the winter season? I struggled with a cold recently and I think that next year I will get the flu shot and see if that helps to keep me from getting any winter colds. As for your lunch, I use to like going to Woolworth's to eat. Why? Because they put those fancy toothpicks with the colored frilly stuff on them into the sandwich. Plus they use to cut the sandwich diagonally into four triangle shaped pieces. I am happy for Lillian. I am not sure if she will like the cold weather all that well but she will be moving up there in the springtime which will be nice with all of the flowers blooming everywhere. This morning Mary and I are going to the car doctor to get my car. It is all better. They had to replace the air conditioning compressor which is expensive. Plus they fixed the door handle for the third door which opens into a space behind the seats. Because of the insurance I only have to pay a $ 50 deductible. Pretty neat. This afternoon we are going to the movies (it is $5 senior Tuesday at the movies) to see the movie Valkyrie starring Tom Cruise. Yesterday we went to a craft store called Michaels and Mary got a small light table to back-light her reverse-glass painting. It is easier to see where to paint if the glass is illuminated. Have a great day. Lew
