We lost our rabbit's foot with the plant last night. About two in the morning Bertha had a hitch in her get along! The electric motor on the module feeder burned up again, for the third or fourth time this season. Worst thing was the wire in the conduit got hot enough to melt the insulation and then short out. Frank called in the electricians for the repair. While they pulled the new wire, the night crew removed and replaced the motor. About eight this morning, Bertha began a new verse.

I had my regular Monday. Office, bank, post office and back to the trailer. It seems like I have to stay on my computer work, so I already have built my spreads for the coming week.

I did take a break yesterday afternoon and removed our mattress from our bedroom. We have had the new mattress for over a week, but I just hadn't had the time to swap them out.

I will say that putting one in a conventional house would be a breeze compared to putting one in our travel trailer. Of course the bed is located on a slide out which means we had to contend with that mechanism. I removed the bed platform and placed the pump for the sleep by number bed under it, then I had to use a hole saw for exits for the air lines as well as the power supply and control box. Two one inch holes and then an opening of one and a quarter inches by three inches. By the time I had everything routed and the platform back on, I had put in about two hours. The actual putting together of the mattress was a breeze!

I put the word out in the compound we had a mattress to give away. I had laid it across the bed of my company truck. Before bed time we looked out and it was gone!

Krl and I were both excited about bed time! She said I was asleep in less than a minute. I had a good night going until my belly had an ethnic battle.

We had oriental fare last evening for supper and as an added treat Krl had me stir fry a bag of Mediterranean blend vegetables. Everything was delicious, but I think after they were in the confines of my belly, they began to fight! Anyhow, I got up shortly after midnight and never went back to bed. Krl said she slept great! When she woke up she had no aches and or pains.

So now I am looking forward to my first complete night on the new mattress! Again.

Last week we called in our prescriptions to our pharmacist in Abilene. Krl paid for them over the phone and called Trc and told her to pick them up and ship them to us. I ran out Saturday, Krl ran out Sunday. Yesterday Krl called Trc and she hadn't shipped them yet! One of mine is the diuretic I take and I am feeling the need for it! I told Krl I am drowning from the inside out! Maybe today!

Pat and Hag are in Lubbock today for pre-procedure blood work. Tomorrow is the procedure and he will receive two radiation treatments with the final of the three occurring Thursday morning. Keep them in your prayers!

Have a day!

FATHER, I feel rotten. I ask that YOU pick me up! I lift up Hag to you for your miracle of healing. I ask YOU for positive results on his behalf. Bless-ed be YOUR name.
