1761

I had laid down for a short nap--before getting a bite of lunch. Had gone to SB's for a morning latte and chocolate layer cake--and just wanted a nap before having some lunch. I was awakened by the fire alarm--and the dog going nuts at the sound of the alarm and the house filled with smoke. I stepped out of may room--and was assaulted with a cloud of smoke and the scream of the alarm. I went into the kitchen--and found a skillet filled with grease smoking on the top of the stove. I shut it off--and managed to get the alarm turned off. The dog was still going nuts--and MD apparently didn't hear the alarm and never got up.

After getting the alarm and the dog silenced--I opened all of the windows and turned on the exhaust fan on the stove. BH came back about then--he and B the young boy. The place still reeked of burnt grease--and the windows were still open to help clear the air.

My nap was now a thing of the past--so I grabbed some lunch and a V8 Fusion.

MD just got up--she didn't hear any of the noise that the alarm and dog made. Actually amazing since both were just outside her door--scary to think about what that means if there is an actual fire or such.

It's coming up on the time to call the oncologist--and establish a time to meet.

I went to Walmart this morning and picked up a set of house shoes that fit snugly and are warm--I also bought a couple of long sleeve shirts (one a great reddish color). I may go back and get a second red shirt--to give to BH for his birthday (which is happening in a few weeks).
