Hello, hello!!!
Joys in J&C – dbro has given me 48 hours off for good behavior!
He will take dmom to appts tomorrow before going back to Atlanta, and then he’ll be back the Saturday before Christmas. He’s getting dmom’s Christmas tree up so she can enjoy it, and just generally helping to ease my mind. Good to have another set of eyes on her, see what he thinks about her strength and stability issues.
And then I see
Harmony has fallen! OUCH! (((HUGS))) Your fall sounds very much like dmom’s except she hit on her face. And I don’t think there was any fault in the sidewalk, just a normal concrete joint where the curb met the wheelchair access area.
Puzzle sounds beautiful, btw!
My workmates for the day have been basically dgd, dgs, and dh. DGD and I played with the little doll house for a long while, and then I started filing dmom’s paperwork – left undone since at least March and here we are in December!
We went to town with dh, and stopped at the post office, dmom’s bank, and the drug store (for dmom). Then dh took me to photograph a couple of houses for my brick-book project (houses my dgf bricked)– most likely not going to be a Christmas present, but I am renewing my hope to complete it by March 1 for dmom’s birthday.
After dgs arrived, I just continued with the filing until time to go to the church Christmas play.
It was hilarious. One of the sheep – dgd – could NOT stand still and alternately ran to hug Joseph (dgs) or wrestled with Joseph for her headpiece, which she kept taking off. She also made every indication that she was going to take Baby Jesus and make a run for it, but she never did. Mary, the Babe’s mother, was entirely unconcerned about the well-being of the baby, and just danced about in her spot, when she and Joseph weren’t carrying on a conversation. Very entertaining. I give it two thumbs up.

Kathryn – YES – it is WONDERFUL to be able to search our archives for certain events. Thank you for taking care to keep everything available for us. Ooohhh… dizziness like that can be so scary! Do take it easy on yourself.
LadyM… take care of yourself! I hope you feel better soon!
DMom called to make sure I had her doctor appointment on my calendar for tomorrow. No Mom. I'm taking you to two doctor appointments on Friday. DMom said, "Isn't today Thursday?"
DMom sometimes gets confused but so do I. I'm not putting either one of us in the dementia category ......yet.
Yes. This is my life.
Rose, the recipe books sound so nice! I should do some of those with my dmom’s recipes. Hope the growth and the surgery for it don’t cause too much trouble for you. (((HUGS)))
So sorry about the watch band,
Harriet… I had a jewelry mishap Monday. First I realized I had apparently lost the tiny pearl stubs that best friend’s parents gave me for high school graduation. Then I broke the necklace I was wearing, made of glass beads that belonged to dgrandmother, while trying to get my coat on. I was pleased when I got home to find my earrings on the nightstand… but the necklace did NOT magically repair itself, so I’m going to need to take it to the jewelry shop.
I am sooo sorry about HRH having to deal with all this medicine – and you. Just the logistics of dealing with a lot of different pills can make you crazy, not to even mention the side effects! Did you say what HRH’s diagnosis is – am I being nosey? Just ignore me if you don’t want to say.
Helia’s holiday schedule makes my upcoming weeks look simple!
Well, I must get back to the filing chore. Almost done now. Yesterday I got all the laundry done after I got home from dmom’s appts. Housework is not high on my priorities but I am keeping dishes and duds taken care of, I guess. Got Christmas cards in the mail this morning, and most of my shopping is done. I still haven't got ds anything except a movie poster -- and I need to order a frame tonight for it! Also nothing for dnephew. So hard to buy for and whatever you get him has to be easily carried back on the plane. I mostly give him and dniece money... but need some little something for them to unwrap. Still need to wrap several items. Need to get dmom something else too... * Need to look over and update my LIST. *
