Thursday Trials and Triumphs

[Lynlee]

hugs prayers to all.
Indiana and Jake ...... all I can say is WHAT ??? I hope there is a way around this. A solution to whatever the real problem is apart from Jake and you being separated.
(((((((((((((Dee's family))))))))))))) prayers for a solution there too.
(((((((((((((Harriets family))))))))))))))))) rest peacefully OrphanCat. Baby6mths sounds like a real character. I never knew you had such close Santa conections! Prayers for peace in your household too. Esp for DFather in dealing with himself.

btw - I watched a program on Molly (Ian) Meldrum - host of our Countdown show that brought lots of music to our homes - He fell off the roof and has severe head injuries and is currently in rehab. He has times where he has no idea what has happened - that things are different. eg. Walking arm in arm with someone down the corridore to be transfered from hosp to hehab - he thought he was on the red carpet at some awards and was reassuring his companion that it would be all right. He is only is allowed 2 visitors - his bro and PA. Despite all the best wishes/videos from world famous names of 70-80s - maybe it was longer than that the show was on. Losing short term memory was described as every day was ground hog day. or maybe that first date repeated daily movie that starred sandler. Has to be so difficult. I'm guessing dementia can be like that too - with variations day by day.

Prayers Lilac for family and for house sale.

Glad theres improvement in the LO/Okay household. Hope the legal stuff finally gets sorted.
I think with health when anything drags on and on its worth seeing if its something different from what you think.
dd2 when 4 was given course after course of antibiotic when really what she needed was an ENT specialist. And her teeth/unerupted molars were damaged by the ab in the proccess I suspect.

Went to pilates today. (I'd missed my 2 yoga classes this week.) Maybe I can get that in the mix. No I could not do everything. Yes I will feel it tomorrow. Yes the instructor was good about me just doing what I can - reassured that things /core would get stronger and take the strain off my neck. Lets hope on that front. I made up my own variations of some things. She did think yoga was just about flexability though and I think she is mistaken on that front. Though pilates is on steroids in comparison. Met up with one of old yoga classmates. Her dh is in remission from luccemia ?sp? and doing really well.

Adding a wave to Kathryn and Ken. I'm living in the wake of your travel log. Loving the instalments.

Harmony, that is a wonderful idea that you gave Dee about a nanny cam. I am betting they would be shocked at how she really acts, since she seems to have them fooled, or at least it appears that way.

When dh came in tonight I started telling him dd2 babysitting dilemma. He stopped me mid sentence and asked how many were we talking about? When I told him just the 2 little ones, he told me to call her and tell her we would babysit. She said she had planned to just stay home, because she sure didn't expect me to watch them, after I have watched them so much lately. I finally convinced her she needs to go. Later she called and the nice sisilaw had called and her dd15 could babysit after all. They had had a change in plans. Then the mad sisilaw texted and said she couldn't watch them, she was busy but her 2 dds could. Dd2 thanked her and told her that she had found someone else.

Before I go to bed I need to iron my clothes for tomorrow. I need to be at dd2 by 7:30 am, so her and dgd15 can go to conferences. I want to be ready for the day before I go, otherwise I would have to come home, shower, etc. and would get a really late start to a busy day.

So I better get to ironing and then bed.

Talked to Indiana - complicated - see J&C

I never did get back to tell you about my day.

DH and I moved a huge golden barrel cacti to the new bed. We also put some big pink and white quartz and a green rock (I think it has copper in it) in the bed. I reset the wall and then placed some small red stone around the wall.

I still have one agave there to trim. It is about 1/2 way done when the battery went down. The bunnies or ground squirrels have dug under the plants so I'm doing a lot of shoveling.

One of our new neighbors came down and dug up about 10 of the smaller agave for their yard - so I got rid of some more.

Tomorrow we hope to get the last agave trimmed so I can take the after pictures. I just looked at the before and I can't believe the difference.

DH had a great ride in the desert and the Rhino didn't kill. So it looks like the new fuel filter fixed the problem.

I'm off to bed as I am bushed. I washed the bedding today so I should sleep well with being tired and with clean, sweet smelling sheets.

Niters.
