Metrolift is Houston's aid to the handicapped. This is a bus system that will pick William up with an attendent and transpoft him to where he would like to go. I am trying it out today.

I had to call yesterday to reserve the ride for today.

I had to apply. This took about 6 weeks. Then we had to go in for an interview. We passed the interview and had a card mailed to us. This took about 10=14 days.

I went and bought tickets to use the bus after I got the card.

I wanted to test the system today. I called to reserve a ride for Sat. They told me that the account was inactivated. I have to call customer service. I hung up and called customer service. They found the problem, a box had not been checked on their side. The attendant was nice and booked by trip.

I talked to the caregiver agency and she told me that we have to confirm the trip before we go. I called this morning and confirmed the trip. they will pick us up at 10:18Am to arrive downtown for a 1PM appt. I had to make the appt time an hour earlier. We will probably have time to eat lunch before the session. The pick up time was 2:33PM. I had to change that. We get finished at 2:30P I don't think that I can make the pick-up so very quickly. I pushed back the pickup to 3PM. that means 2:45P to 3:15P. This will be along day.

I got William up and showered and almost dressed. He is sleeping in the recliner. I still need to finish the oat meal. Oh, no! It is on the stove. I have a habit of burning food. I get iinvolved with other stuff and then smell it. Luckily mention of breakfast made me remember. I got it off the stove before we had burnt oatmeal. I hate burnt oatmeal.

I shall let you know how the day turns out. WE are expecting rain this afternoon.
