Not So Hot

That refers both to the weather and my state of health. I finally quit trying to tough it out and went to the doctor (for the second time in less than a month) Saturday (the office is open 9 - 12, fortunately) and got put on another dose of Z-Pac. Which Isn't helping as much this time. No surprise, since I think this respiratory infection is what the first dose three weeks ago left. If I'm not better tomorrow morning I'll go back. OTOH, it seems like everybody around here is sick. My uphill neighbor's son was just diagnosed with Hep-A. Turns out he ate at a local restaurant where several others caught it. Makes me glad I usually eat at home. Many people in the Central Kentucky area have respiratory or digestive bugs, and the Hep-A just seems to keep spreading despite all efforts. This isn't being helped by the hot, wet weather. 

Anyway, I woke from a nap this morning to find three police cars outside, two of them taking advantage of the shade from the big tree in my front yard. I'd spoken with my uphill neighbor about not seeing our neighbor across the street for a couple of weeks. He was always good about keeping his yard cut, and it's currently looking worse than mine. One of her sons knows him better than I do and apparently got no answer when he knocked. My neighbor finally got worried enough she called the police. The place is empty, fortunately. His pickup is gone.The cops said he just packed up and left; even the refrigerator was cleaned out. They think he'd also redirected his mail. So that's a partial relief. We still don't know where he went.

This is insane. I have been trying to refill my phone plan with NET10 since last week. I would get to the last step, then the Web page would pop up an error message that there was something wrong, without saying what. I tried three different credit cards, and even a different browser. No luck. I finally gave up and called. The robot led me through the same options, except they did not offer the plan I wanted. I hung up and retried. Same problem. I finally told it to go with my second choice. It did so, the transaction went through to the last step, then the robot told me there was a problem. Without saying what. 

I called again. This time I managed to get a live person - I think - but I couldn't hear her. I kept saying she was too quiet. She briefly got louder, then went quiet again. Listening hard, I heard her offer the same plans - she had to repeat the options several times for me to hear - except she didn't list either of my choices. I finally just told her to never mind and hung up.

I'm sick; too sick to deal with this now. But I have to!  The account ends tomorrow!
