8:55 AM – M.S.T.   I woke up this morning to the disturbing news that one of the CNAs who gets me up in the mornings has a family emergency and will not be here for one month.  At least she notified my home health care agency, and I do have a replacement for the time being.   Tomorrow I am supposed to see my psychiatrist, and on Thursday am supposed to see a psychologist.  The only problem I have with any of this, which I hope to correct some time today, is that I am having difficulty reaching the company that provides my transportation.  The last time I called, which was about ten minutes ago, there were twenty-eight people in line ahead of me.  There is no way in the world that I am going to stay on the phone waiting for someone to answer it for that length of time.  It looks like I will have to call every five or ten minutes until I am able to get an operator.   Since we have nice weather today, I had planned on going out to do some shopping -- or looking, as the case may be.  I woke up with a sore throat and cold, so that has caused me to change all my plans for today.   Quotes for Happiness:   “Money can't buy happiness, but it does quiet the nerves.”   Anonymous
