The Old Folks Home

[Nomadicus]

Goodnight Old Folks. It's been a long day on the road and we were up early and moving. I normally get 2-3 hours of rest and possible sleep during the day but not a seconds rest today and I'm feeling very weary now.

Well it is almost 2am and the power is still off but I have no clue when it went off. I got Ma woke up and then we got her CPAP connected to a tank of oxygen instead of the oxygen generator that was not working without power. I hope I can get back to sleep soon.

If she is using O2 concentrator call your power provider and tell them you need priority restore on your service and why. They are supposed to restore power to people on O2 before they do everyone else. I found that out when my mother came home from the hospital on oxygen. I doubt if that policy has changed in the last 25 years.

Being in the boonies the have to get the lines back off the ground before they can restore the power to anyone. There are lot of us aging seniors out around these parts. How many are on a concentrator I don't know. I just do know it is many as there is still a waiting list for insurance covered machines that are the portable kind. She stays well stocked with bottles for such emergencies.

I'm not surprised to hear about Orscheln closing up. They never had a decent inventory of farm supplies when I lived in NW MO.

Agreed. Buchheit's bought them out along with Tractor Supply. One of those weird corporate split things I won't even try to understand. Buchheit's is tearing the begeebers out of the store, adding inventory. They even have chicks all year round now. Best yet, they repaved the parking lot so you don't risk wrecking your suspension on your car every time you go there.

Night all.

Can't stay awake on this computer and can't sleep in bed. Going to get on YouTube and watch some old reruns of AGT and BGT.

Good morning OFs, Coffee is hot - this morning it's Guatamalan - smooth and mild. I splurged last time I bought coffee. Incidentally, on the news this AM there was a story about coffee bean shortages so the price of coffee is going up -- again. Not good news for those of us who have it running through our veins. You've been warned. Ask for it as a Christmas gift from loved ones, maybe?
@Nomadicus, I sure wish you could get some sleep. Reading your posts makes me tired for you.
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning Old Folks. I finally got some sleep. We are at 47° now following a warm rainy day yesterday.

Good morning. Facing an all day rain and not complaining about that face. It is seriously needed.

Yay! Happy to hear you got some badly needed snoozing time.
