New Heights

With the new hospital bed installed, we still need to figure out what to do with the king size mattress.  The first thing I’ll need to do is get a king size mattress cover before we can store it anywhere.  Until then, it’s in our dining room, leaning against a wall.

The cats are in heaven.

They just LOVE the height.  The fact that it’s also soft is certainly being taken advantage of, too!

DaBoy is absolutely languid.

Mother and son; a matched set.

They are just too cute for words!

Meanwhile, I phoned the electric company, since someone had come in to check the lines while I was in the city, to find out what their assessment was.  The woman I spoke to looked up the notes, and talked about how, if we hired an arborist to clear the line to the house, they would come out to shut off the power, and drop the line, if necessary.  What about the lines to the other pole? I asked.  There was nothing in the notes.  I described our set up, and how the lines from the main pole in the outer yard run through trees in the inner yard to reach the pole in the garden, before continuing on across the road.

You can barely see the power lines just right of center at the top of this photo.

There was nothing in the notes about it.  This might be on me; when I called, I was thinking of the line to the house.  It wasn’t until after I arranged for the assessment that I walked around and noted the lines to the garden.  The guy that came out may have only been told to check the line to the house, which is our responsibility.  The house line runs below the lines that lead to the pole in the garden.

Just to be sure, she wrote us up for another service check to assess, and hopefully included her own notes about where it needs to be checked.  I hope that, this time, I’ll be home to talk to the assessor when he arrives.
