I am NOT making a very good start to the week, although I claim to like Mondays also.
Although Fitbit says I got over 9 hours sleep, I don't think it was "quality" sleep. Pretty sure the last two hours were extremely restless -- it says I was restless 24 times, awake 5 times = 1 hour awake/restless. So I was in bed over TEN hours. Hmmm... anyone should feel rested. Maybe I'm just lazy.
When I got up, I went to the post office & bank with dh (without s2s; I'm STILL not s2s).
Then dmom called and I talked to her 45 minutes...
Last night, she gave me a scare. I called, and I could tell she picked up the phone, but she never said anything (at least, I could not HEAR her) and she could not hear me. Then I called back a few times and the line was busy. So I thought, oh my, she's fainted and can't get the phone back on the receiver...
So I went out there, used the spare key, scared to death I would scare HER, and there she is, asleep on the couch. No idea her phone wasn't hung up correctly. (Cordless phone.) So we got that fixed and meanwhile, I noticed she wasn't wearing her LifeAlert. The cord for her necklace was broken, so I called them to get a new one of those ordered for her.
And I grumbled that if she lived in her "2nd house" I could have been there three times faster...
Today she called to talk about that... and I was already feeling guilty for trying to pressure her into moving out here...
So I told her not to do it b/c I SAID to, but I agreed with her that if she could get more furniture out there, get it READY to at least sleep and bathe and eat in, then it would be a lot nicer if "God forbid, some emergency happened and you REALLY needed to be closer to us."
Then we talked about the ass't living place where I still want her to go for rehab IF/WHEN she has foot surgery... and she asked me to call and see if she could stop in there tomorrow, on her way to dentist appt.
So I did that, called her back, all is well on that front. I actually talked to the administrator, a girl I have known (and dmom has known her & her parents) all our lives. She will meet with dmom tomorrow and get her on the waiting list there.
At least, that's the plan. With dmom, things can change from day to day. But I am glad our dfriend will be there, b/c I didn't want to go with dmom tomorrow and I feel better about sending her to meet with someone she knows. DH is playing golf tomorrow, and I was looking forward to some time alone! I seriously need to vacuum and I always let dh's activity/lack of activity drag me down -- so I've done nothing so far today.
Oh -- I forgot -- I cut off three or four dead branches on a house plant and threw them out while talking to dmom.
Nancy is reminding me I need to do laundry. Boy... I REALLY need to do laundry...
WTG,
LadyM with all your morning work! And WTG to your dbro! He is doing sooo sooo well!!!
WTG,
Twins! I know you will do a GREAT interview and there is NO WAY you could sound like a snob! NO WAY!
WTG,
Harmony -- you're doing a thousand times better than me, and you have only one hand.
WTG,
Kathryn -- you're doing great getting back in the swing of things after travel. That is always hard to manage.
What does the week ahead look like,
blessed asks...
Well,
today -- laundry
Tomorrow -- vote, vacuum/WHB
Wednesday -- ?
Thursday -- go to swimming lessons with dgrands and keep them till ddil gets home from school, POSSIBLY let them spend the night
Friday -- take them to swimming lessons (w/dh?) and keep them till she gets home from work. I will also have to go to the drug store for dmom on Friday. I would be encouraged that they would both nap Friday afternoon, but swimming lessons are 20-30 minutes away, and they'll probably get all the nap they need on the way home. Maybe if dh goes with us, I can nap on the way home too!
