Hope all is well on your end.  We have had 3 days of rain and yesterday was really windy too. I had to get up around 1:30 this morning and it was absolutely pouring down and still was at 4am when I stirred awake enough to hear it.  We’re probably going to get more rain Wednesday and Thursday but that can change.  They even had two tornadoes in Los Angeles one was a category 1.  Tore up a metro district and some mobile homes.  Most of California is now out of the drought for how long who knows.

Did you get your property taxes paid?  Hope it went smoothly.

Good thing those trees won’t hit your house. How’s your internet holding up? Hope it’s been fixed by now.  

The consultation with the car went very well.  Very helpful, sense of humor, good with the patients. His name is Dr. Nguyen and he is now my cardiologist.  My heart is normal, no damage and my EKG was normal when it was done there in the office.  He told me if my heart starts racing I can an additional dose of the BP med that they prescribed in the ER, Diltiazem.  I take it 3 times a day. So far no bleeding problems from the Pradaxa.  

The corned beef turned out great.   followed a recipe just for how long to cook it in the pressure cooker.  I sautéed some onion before I added the corned beef and broth.  I also addEd more pickling spice.  I let it cook for 30 minutes, did a quick release of the pressure, added the potatoes and cabbage and cooked it again for 10 minutes. It was delicious.

We had to buy a new washing machine Sunday as our other one died with a blanket floating in a tub filled with water.  The new one is very strange with how it washes laundry.  It actually weighs and evens out the load before it washes it.  Takes forever, about an hour, but it does get the laundry clean.  Just need to play with it to see what mode of washing is quicker and still gets clothes cleaned.  Oh, and to top off the month, we need to get tires for both cars.  Why is it when you are getting a refund from the taxes every little need pops up!  At least we will have the money to buy them.  

I’m going to get my clothes and other things ready for work tomorrow.  Have a good evening and hope you’re safe and warm.  Love you!
