It has been an early morning on my part. I got up extra early to be able to get everything finished before the VON arrived. Gram wasn’t exactly pleased with getting up again at 7 but I have no choice. It takes her so long to get ready and eat and than the mess I have to clean up afterwards it takes a good hour and a half for her to be ready to do anything. I have noticed the past few mornings she has been peeing on the floor again right beside the commode. I don’t know why she does this but anyways I can’t worry about it right now. She has been in a mood the past few days and I’m not exactly sure why. I think it may be due to me waking her so early in the morning. Tomorrow and Thursday she can sleep in until 8 if she prefers. The VON called last night and said she would be here at 9:30 this morning. I heard the dogs barking and looked out the window and she was here by 9. I didn’t even take the time to get my breakfast because I was busy with other things but I was going to sit down just before 9:30 to eat something. I had to mop the rest of the floors and get my ass up to my bedroom and change my clothes. I called mom at 9:30 and of course she was just getting up and didn’t have her breakfast. I told her she could eat here but I guess maybe my stuff isn’t good enough LOL Anyways by 9:40 I was off to the hospital with the blood work. For some reason you have to have the blood to the clinic within the hour that it was taken. I have no idea why and I really didn’t bother to ask but that is the policy. The nurse was rattled as to why no one was here yesterday. She showed me the order and it was marked rather large, Monday. I told her the excuse at the VON office and she just shook her head . I told her my speculation was that the paper work either got lost, someone wasn’t paying attention or the doctor didn’t send it over but apparently the doctor did send it over so what happened after that remains a mystery. I stopped into Rotten Ronnie’s take out for breakfast before heading home because I was hungry as heck.
In the wee hours of the morning I removed my bed sheets and comforter and washed them. I could tell it was going to be an excellent day to do wash when dawn hit. I think the washing machine woke gram up because she jumped right up when it started but I told her to go back to bed. When gram did get up I immediately rushed to her bed and took everything off while she was still in the bathroom. She does not like her bed linens washed and I have no idea why. Well yes I do, she thinks I’m way to clean and that it’s not necessary to wash things all the time. By the time she got out of the bathroom her bed linens were removed and she couldn’t say much. I only have one more load of wash to do. Everything is drying nicely because of the wind. It is a beautiful spring day here but the wind is cold.
I seem to have lost my bank card. I was going to put a few dollars on some bills so nothing got cut off due to lack of payment but when I went to get my bank card it wasn’t in my purse. I searched high and low and to no avail, it was nowhere to be found. Today I will have to go to the bank and get a new bank card. Oh the joys. This will be my second trip to town today. The gas here is up again to 106.3, its nuts. I need my bank card because gram gets her pension checks tomorrow and I know she will want them cashed ASAP. When the home care arrives at 1 this afternoon I will be on the road again. Right now I am using hubs car to travel so I don’t put so many miles on mine. He He Sneaky eh?!
I have been making an effort to get on my treadmill everyday. Not that I feel like working out because really I don’t but I really have to get my lungs up to where they use to be. This getting out of breath is driving me bananas and it’s not only that, this extra weight also. I can’t stand it!!!! I was watching this program the other night about how stress will make you gain weight around your middle because of a stress hormone your body produces. Well I should be in that study because this is where I have gained it most, my middle and my breasts. It needs to come off ASAP!! This program has got me a tad paranoid because they say that the fat is hard to get rid of when you are stressed. Like I needed to hear that!!!!!
