The phone line was down since sometime Thursday.  Sister called it in today, from work.  They were not going to check it until Monday until she told them two cancer patients in the house.  The woman put it in as a medical emergency.  Obviously it is fixed.  The problem was a couple blocks away.An epal of mine has suggested part of my being tired is plain boredom.  I think she is right and will make greater effort to keep busy with light chores or something.  I do have  a growing pile of mending to be done.I did bundle up to clear the driveway and walks today.  My feet are still cold 3 hours later.I stayed up to watch ER last night.  I think "Dr. John Carter" came home to die.  Anybody agree with me?
