Reflexes & 1st date anniversary

Yesterday - Shelby almost plowed into me while I was standing against the kitchen counter. I don't know why she didn't stop her powerchair sooner but - phew - it was a close call...then later as I was driving home from my Grandma's, an older gentleman was at a stop sign in his golf cart. While I was driving down the main road of the subdivision, the golf cart guy decides he is going to cross the road...while I am zooming right in his direction at 45+ mph...phew - ANOTHER close call!!!

We've been having internet problems/modem problems since mid-July. AT&T finally came out yesterday and the tech fixed everything. That evening, Shelby was in the office with me and wouldn't you know it - the internet stopped working again...back to waiting on hold for another 30 minutes and now they are saying change the modem...ugh...darn technology!!
