SHEs Organized

Well, there will be an urgent event tomorrow, but at least it can be planned for. Dmom called around 8:00 pm and said to go ahead and make an appt for tomorrow. So I'll have to be up and ready to go as soon as they open, b/c they close at noon. * sheesh * BUT... I'm glad she's going -- her housekeeper called and when I told her the situation, she said, "Oh, my, get that checked. I know two people who had casts put on that were too tight, and one almost lost an ARM!" So... better safe than sorry.

This day has just been crazy.
But productive.
Lots of communication...
* answered text re: ds...
* answered text re: my dgrandfather & his brick-laying history...
Newspaper is doing a story not on HIM, but on the African-American family who made their own brick and who actually taught my grandfather the trade. Lots of messaging to a grandson all day long about that, did a write-up for the columnist who is doing it, and got that sent off just now.
-- -- I asked the columnist to add a note at the end for people to let me and the grandson know if they knew of any places our grandfathers bricked. I put my PO box and my e-mail. I told the grandson I knew some people discourage publicizing emails like that, but with all the spam I get already, I didn't see how it could be much worse. If dh disagrees, I'll send her a message and tell her to only use the PO box.
* sent "thinking of you" notes to two dear friends, one is a long-time coworker and dfriend of ddad's, who is in the nursing home approx 40 miles away & dmom and I just found out... one is the mother of the dfriend I told you about who just up and left her family some years ago and I only found out last Christmas.
* took the dgrands to visit dmom...
* took the dgrands home...
* got my hair cut...
* came home, tried to nap, received 7 phone calls. AUUUGHHHH!!!!
* read the paper
* straightened up my "notes" section on phone, added some books I want to read

(((Harmony))) I can't take the heat, and I hate cold weather, too! But it was only about 83 today here, not too bad. Just looked -- it is actually going to be in the high 60s the next couple nights here. That will feel so nice!

Norma, hire a good-looking butler or handyman. That should be fine.

LOL... that made me smile b/c if I have to get up so early tomorrow, I can at least look forward to seeing dmom's cute doctor!

(((Dee)))

(((Elizabeth & friend & bird))) That must have been an awfully scary event!

It takes me longer and longer to get things done.

Yes, Norma. My dmom's constant complaint, and now mine too.

I was actually afraid I had the flu last night! Aching from the roots of my hair to the tips of my toenails, and had a HORRIBLE headache. Probably just all the unusual amount of WORK I did yesterday!

Here comes dh wanting the computer. I've got to start checking in earlier!
Good night, all!
