March 25, 2020. Madison, Mississippi. Changes.

My world keeps changing, through no fault of my own. Ever since we bought the condo just down the road, the same man has been servicing our air conditioners and heating systems. He is a nice man and more importantly, competent. He installed a new system for us at the condo and he added a third system to our present house in order to make life comfortable in the bedroom. He comes twice a year to check the filters and make sure all is well. I called him last week because the days were becoming warm and I wanted to be sure the ac would work. Much to my surprise, he told me he had moved to Austin, Texas. His wife was transferred so he sold his company and now lives in Austin. The nerve. He did give me the name of another gentleman who he said was good. I hope so. My cook up and moved to Florida. So I am without a cook. Just before I left in December she told me that they might move to Florida but she thought it would be next Spring. But she is gone. I still have some of her food containers but I bet she will not come back to claim them. I am not replacing her. I still have a freezer full of left over food from the last time she cooked. She was never able to reduce the quantities after Ken died so I am eating her good home cooked food. I had an appointment with my eye doctor, Dr.Oh, the fist week I was home. On my desk was a letter telling me to phone to make another appointment. When I called, I was told that she had left the eye clinic. I was horrified. Dr. Oh specializes in difficult glaucoma patients, which would be me. My first glaucoma specialist referred me to her. Now I will go back to Dr. Kosko, but he is so busy I will not be able to see me until late May. I think I must speak to him. Anyway, while I stay in place, my world is moving around me. I prefer people to stay in put and look after me. But what can you do?
