I am just soooo tired. I guess it is the time change, but I did sleep all afternoon. I'm still in a grumpy mood and should probably just go back to sleep.
Talked to dmom, who is very concerned re: foot surgery -- but equally concerned re: NOT having foot surgery. As she said, she can barely put on a shoe, she can't attend church or play with her great-grands or anything, really, b/c (1) the pain is so bad, and (2) the shape of her feet has her so off-balance that she is afraid to go anywhere without her walker! OTOH, she says she has very poor circulation (no diabetes/etc, though) and she fears her foot will not heal properly. * sigh *
I just hope she WILL meet with the assisted living people Tuesday as she says she will, and get this surgery scheduled ASAP.
She knows she will need the other foot done also, again ASAP, but I told her she should be able to give it six months or so and do it during cooler weather, so she can have a reasonably good summer.
Of course, my "cooler weather" weekends are pretty spoken for, but IF she does well in assisted living, that will solve a few weeks of recovery time, and dbro should be able to manage a couple weekends for me.

Ooohhh... I love the way you put that!
Harriet, I find myself wishing * in a selfishly evil? sort of way * that I could have been a fly on the wall at your church this morning! It sounds fascinating... all of you now taking classes on conflict... hmmm...
We did have a preacher once whom dbil was pretty certain would have taken a swing at him, had the preacher's wife not been present. That was a long time ago though. Preacher has long since moved on and dbil has mellowed in his old age.
Speaking of "mellowing," dbil is visiting the mouse, near
Dee, with his children AND dxsil this week. I cannot imagine DH mellowing to that point, EVER, if we were to divorce.
I'm just jealous, b/c I want to visit the mouse w/dgrands...
Kathryn, I am so sorry about the situations in your congregation, and I hope you will not be needed for any emergencies during your pastor's absence.
We've been to Wmart... groceries all put away... I got all the Sunday chores done last night, except for washing dishes after lunch, so at least I'm good for the rest of the evening. I really need to exercise... but I wanted to do that while watching programs on the dvr, and DH is watching that tv right now. We really need two dvr's. I would never have thought that possible.
Waving to
Sadie! * Sorry about the new manager! And (((hugs))) for your family friend.
Nancy, sounds like you've had a productive day!
And
blessed -- so glad you had such a nice evening with your dd's!
Twins -- agreeing with blessed -- you definitely needed to take time for yourself!
(((
Harmony))) and (((
Lilac))) Hope you both feel better by now!
Waving to all.
I will probably be taking dgs to school in the morning and keeping dgd for a few hours -- but that is not certain. DS is going to be arriving home just about the time ddil has to leave for work in the morning... but I kinda hate for him to be on Parent Duty after being on the road all night, anyway. I told ddil to just let me know in the morning if I am needed. I'll shower tonight anyway.
