wednesday - thinking about decisions
Today I go to Erie to see a heart specialist about having the loop recorder implanted. I haven't decided yet if I want to do this - I could go either way. I spent the morning writing down the episodes of funny heart beats I have had this year by looking them up in my journal so I could take that with me. I haven't had anything happen for 2 whole months now. I am thinking maybe it was the radiation that affected my heart and now it's getting better? But if it seems like a good idea (after talking to the doctor) I would be willing to do it, I guess.
Thinking now of getting a smart phone - everyone has one. Is that a good reason for me to get one? They are handy. I wouldn't have to carry both a phone and an ipod then. And the screen would be bigger than an ipod screen. It would probably have better speakers than my ipod too. I could get a service plan that would work for me for only $12.50 a month. I pay more than that for my phone now. Dave and I have already agreed that someday I would get one so that when we travel we would have that technology available on the road. Johnny sent me some links to good ones that I feel I can afford. So why not get it now?
Also I'm still on the fence as to putting lights on in the early morning for the chickens. Yes, we will get more eggs this winter if I keep putting the light on at 6 am for them but is it fair to them? It's not normal. They are pretty much okay with it but after about a half hour shut up in their coop (it's still pitch black outside) they have spells of having a pleading sound in their voices - we want oooout, pleeeease let us out (we hear it in stereo on the baby monitors). I could let them out into their dark outside yard but that seems weird too. I said to Dave maybe I should put a little light out in their yard too - he just rolled his eyes.
