Another theft

My assistant Ramses had his wallet stolen out of his desk drawer this morning. It is rare we are both out of the library at the same time. This is our 4th theft.

I haven't seen the black cat that usually suns on my deck in a week or more. The last time he looked pretty beaten up and his whole side was abraded. Neither have I seen Brutus, the tough guy who once attacked my back. I turned the hose on him then. I've broken up cat fights between the two of them and I think Brutus is the Alpha cat of the neighborhood. They have all been spayed but we seem to have a few kittens and teenagers around. Last year I saw one of the teens smushed on the street. Someone must have shoveled him up. He lasted only less than 1 day but it was more than a little disturbing to see.

I told my principal that I need spine surgery and I may be out 3 weeks. I'd let him know when. Better sooner than in May and June. The thoracic film is accepted but I don't know if the lumbar film will be included.

I am not sure what kind of help I will need either. I'll stock up if no driving for 3 weeks. Safeway delivers too. If I have the surgery. I may need an aide. Two people have asked me if I have anyone to help me I said yes although I may not. I'm embarrased to say no.
I hate to ask my friends. I wish I had the long term care policy.

I need some communication back from the state and my comp plan facilitator.

I am getting another pair of glasses too. I allocated over $800 in deferred money this year. That should take me closer. I know I'm already over what I put in.
I wonder how that works. I know it ends when you leave.

I called the spine surgeons on the list today and the earliest appointments they have open are in June and July! If you cancel less than 11 days before, it's $350!

I stopped into Rite aid to drop off my prescription and get Lacey some liter.

Then, I planted some tomato seeds and sunflower and sweet pea seeds. It's a little late for sweet peas. Grandpa used to have them by his garage. I should have planted my sweet 100's in 6 packs first. I'll do that with the Roma and cherry tomatoes. I may not have the water.
