I usually have a bit of food, a fire and some stinky cheese.

The ice machine is working again. I'd replaced the valve because the water stopped dispensing. The new valve worked, but it still flooded the freezer once in a while. I replaced the ice machine. No ice. I screwed around. No ice. I e-mailed Sears on Friday and got an appointment today between 7:30 and 12:00 p.m. By 11:45, the guy had not shown, and I was on the phone to Sears when I saw the truck drive past my house. (At least this guy could find it -- the last time I called them, they called to say they could not find the house. I'd have some sympathy, but Minneapolis is a grid system, very straight forward where I live. -- they wuz MapQuestless idiots.) Anyway, the repairman showed up at 11:58. After quite a bit of screwing around, he determined that the new valve had failed. Grump. He replaced it with a more expensive Sears version (strangely identical since they're both from Whirlpool), replace part of the door hinge, and left around 1:10. I've been having that kind of a day.

Thong is off at the doctor's. My aunt is being evaluated for assisted living at Jones-Harrison. I've tried calling her a few times, but still no answer. At least it's gorgeous out there.

I spent most of Saturday and all of Sunday with my aunt in scenic Golden Valley. One of her ex-half-in-law, his wife and daughter stopped by on Sunday, and there was much chatter. I've vague recollections of him from an implement dealer in New Rockford in the long ago.

My aunt, Sandy, will be moving to Jones-Harrison sometime around the 15th of January. They have a website, http://www.jones-harrison.org/. She's moving into a studio with assisted living on the second floor. It overlooks Cedar Lake. It seems like a place where she will not have to worry about quite so many things. It won't cure or slow down the disease, but it should make things simpler.
