Blizzard & LIFE CLEAN UP
Hello there! So anyone watching the news will have seen that we are getting whacked with a Blizzard called NEMO. They say RI is in the perfect place to get up to 3 feet of snow. That would be fine for us. We don't need to go anywhere. We have plenty of food and a RAV 4 if there's an emergancy. But there will also be a lot of WIND! And that is an issue. If we lose power it will be awful. Of course a few summers ago we had a hurricane that knocked out power for over a week. Back then Kase as on Life Support that required power so it was much scarier. But it still would be awful if we lose power. Just awful.
BUT I'm glad we'll be home for the blizzard. Because being in the hospital those last 4 days was rough. For starters it killed our pockets paying for parking and all the caf food. Second, we not only ate food thats bad for us but it tasted crappy. Then, there's the whole fact that its DRY there. My skin is rough. Of course you also feel gross when there. I've been coming home for quick showers but still. It's icky! Last but not least keeping Kason entertained there was even more impossible than keeping him entertained here.
I'm going to write all about our DECAN process in the next post. It's super exciting but I'm also very drained. I honestly have NOT slept a good sleep in days. I would kill for a nice & calm nap! :)
While all of this was happening I've also decided that now that Kason's on the right trach medically it's time to clean up my life. Here's my plan:
1) Organize our chores. Make a list of Weekly things to do and STICK to it.
2) Organize our FOOD Shopping and Pantry. The way we're doing it isnt working for us. Right now we do a major shopping 1x a month and then go out once a week to supplement but it's not working. We're going out more than that & we're eating out too much. There's gotta be a better way to save us time and money. I think we're also going to start by having a menu made for the week. Rachel is amazing at this type of thing so we're going to take tips from her.
Of course this means I've gotta get some recipes out. We eat super, super basic. I have a few recipe books but they have been opened only once or twice. Woops. So it's online & book reviewing I go.
3) Organize our friends. NOTHING was made more clear these few days then who was really here for the right reasons and who is not. So, I've gotta figure out a way to work through it all and elimate the waste.
Wish us luck all around!
