The move is done, hotter than heck, and telemarketers

The move is finally done. I’m all settled in with my 94 year old grandfather. Now if you live in Illinois you know that we haven’t had too many warm days.   But it hasn’t been cold enough to keep the heat on, except in this community. You see my grandfather lives in a 55 plus community. It’s not a bad thing even for a 48 year old. But it’s warmer than hades in here. Some days I think I’m going through the change. Which is not the case at the moment.   So a friend of my gave me a little portable air cooler which really just puts water in the air like a humidifier. I keep my window open the ceiling fan on high.

We all know telemarketers are a pain in the butt. So when it comes to them calling the house if they don’t identify themselves grandpa won’t talk to them. Nor does he hang up on them. What does he do you ask?  Good question he just puts the phone down and goes about his business. Once he hears the dial tone he puts the phone back on the hook. I finally put home on the do not call list which takes all the fun out of hearing them talk to dead air.

The air cooler and breakfast that grandpa cooked.
