JJ opened a can of Kroger brand Cream of Mushroom soup last evening, heated and began eating it and found two hairs in it. What are you having for lunch?

Today is a rare one for this spring; it is sunny outside and is supposed to be this way until Sunday. This has been the coolest and wettest spring we have had in a long time; probably 15 years or more. The TVA is saying they will raise the local lake levels to full pool by June, but I expect it will be sooner. It will be nice to see the water when it is not rimmed by red clay banks.

Yesterday, Carolyn had her blood work done for her pending doctor's appointment come Tuesday. It went well and her veins did not roll as they almost always do. She is usually bruised and sore after the procedure. I hope they can help her with her knee because she will not be walking much longer if something isn't done. Hopefully they can draw fluid from it and maybe it will be easier on her for awhile. Losing all the work that she did in the first quarter caused her to give up what health insurance she had, so surgery or anything else that is major in nature is out of the question.

Chris is supposed to be moving in with us the first of May. We are trying to reconvert the den to a bedroom.

The new washer/dryer was delivered and installed last evening; at least I can now change to clean bloomers; the other one was getting a bit aromatic. It still hasn't been warm enough to go to the creek for a decent bath.

I thought I was done with taxes. Yesterday Ashley brought a W-2 that had a total of $28 income and with forty-six cents withheld for tax. I filled a return for her just in case there is some kind of stimulus payment forthcoming; I had to furnish her with a stamp and envelop.

I am on the verge of changing over to Ubuntu Linux on all three of my computers and totally dumping Windows. All these updates that cause me to have to restart the machines each time one is installed is aggravating, and occasionally the patch causes problems with other software. Linux has updates too, but generally the only time a reboot is required is when there is a change to the OS kernel. The best part is that Linux pc's are much more secure than Windows or Macs, and Ubuntu is a very good operating system and very free of cost, as is all the software the average user will ever need. There is no buggy Internet Explorer to try to keep patched on Linux, and I can still use my Firefox browser.

Nice that your water levels are returning. Still bad here. The only upside is I do not have to mow the lawn.
We aren't completely out of the woods; they are predicting another dry summer, if that means anything.
