I spent yesterday with my senior friends in the elder housing.  We had a nice visit and had Chinese for dinner.  I helped them with some Christmas things.  I will spend Christmas Eve with them and then they will go to the 95 year old sister's for Christmas Day.

Today around 2 it should reach 20 degrees Fahrenheit so I will try to clear all the ( Read more... )

I called the boss this morning.  I told her that I saw something that worried me...and if I didn't call it would be in my head all weekend.  It could be a little money or it could be another 87K...  She said she was glad I called  and that she would take it from there.  I told her that my intent is not to rat someone out, but if I called the ( Read more... )

Yesterday's cardiologist appointment went well.

The cardiologist went over Dad's tests and said that he is doing so well she does not feel January is the right time for such a huge/life altering operation.  The new meds seem to have everything under control.  She wants to do one more test to gather data that will help if they have to do the ( Read more... )

Last night I had a very detailed nightmare.

fbhjr drove his wife, Malterre  to my house so she could help me with some computer problem.  He went to walk the beach by my house as he is very allergic to my cat.  We left the door open so he could come in when he finished at the beach.    Another friend called up from the door and came in. Behind ( Read more... )

Today was the Christmas breakfast.  It was okay.  The food was not great.  There are really no good sit down restaurants in the medical area.   The boss said that this was the best team ever.  She also said that the board of directors wanted to let us know how much they appreciate all the hard work the 6 of us do....blah blah blah.    Yeah, the ( Read more... )

Still sad about the passing of the you tube art person.  Her name was Cinnamon Cooney.  She was known as the Art Sherpa. It is all over my social media feeds.  She had 746000 subscribers on you tube.  Her family is in rough shape as the sole supporting income was from this you tube channel.  The thing is that if every subscriber who says they want ( Read more... )

I am sad today.

I found out on Facebook that a woman I watched on You Tube and interacted with passed away.  She inspired me to pick up paint brushes after my Mother passed and her live broadcasts kept me and

countless others company and inspired during the Covid shut down.

She was only 54. They are saying she died of some sort of heart issue ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a putter around the house day.  I had to be around for an electrician to come and install a plug in Dad's bedroom that would be safe for heart pump (he has to be plugged into the wall for the night while his batteries charge). I was happy to find one that would come in on a Saturday.   He also fixed the downstairs kitchen light for me ( Read more... )

My stance on the holidays is that I am bracing for impact. Oh Boy.

The cardiologist called me yesterday to tell me how awesome my Dad is and that he is a joy.  Yeah, great. Can he live with you?    I once again said that I, the caregiver, need the heart surgery to be as late into January as possible or even the first week of February as my job ( Read more... )

Yesterday at the craft show the vendor next to me sold driftwood Christmas trees that he made from wood he found walking beaches (Bliss).  He was a retired fireman and started doing this because he needed something to do in his retirement.  We swapped beach walking stories.  I suggested that he keep track of where he picked up his driftwood.  He ( Read more... )
