Re: Mme A. Meilland Rose on Monday @ TDD - C&C
trissie, thank you for the beautiful rose start of the week. best wishes on accomplishing all you have on your very full plate!
helian, are you going to see your mother before she comes? Or will your brother check to make sure all her things are properly emptied from her current room? I'm sure you want to be present when she arrives at the new place. I'm excited for both you and your Mom.
my body is calling out that it is tired. But I ahve managed to
get to Bible study this morning
go to grocery store (senior 5% discount day)
make meatloaf for ddog and for myself.
clear off one small section of my K counters
empty dw
place 1 order from Blair catalog
feed dog
feed myself
sit for a little bit, recognize achey foot spreading up my leg because I should be resting
but I am also recognizing I really need to get my K looking better for my own wellbeing
talked to NH (they called, mother asked them to : she had created a water mess in the bathroom that overflowed into the carpet in her room, so she is out of the room while fans dry it) they said her mental status is much improved from previous several days, and especially the 2 days prior to her visit to the hospital.
My brain feels tired from all the efforts of caring for mother, and my body is weary.
I'm not going to the community supper tonight, but will be boiling potatoes and mashing them, + carrots to be cooked with rosemary and an orange glaze to serve for supper, along with the meatloaf, and bring some to dfBS instead of community supper.
thanks for the break, I've got to go back to the K and work on counter, 3x what I have already accomplished. I'll feel really great if I can make my K look clean and friendly.
I wanted to clean out my car, but it's too cold to work outside today.

Re: Mme A. Meilland Rose on Monday @ TDD - C&C
I'm home from payroll, sitting here yawning and falling asleep. Probably because I had a big snack. I need to find some mojo. Later afternoons are hard for me.
Gma, I'm traveling down to IL next week. I'm going to pack up her stuff in the NH myself and drop off some boxes of chocolates as a thank you to the nursing staff for taking care of her. I might pick up some art from her house as well. I'll drive back at the same time she's traveling up here, and hopefully, I'll be at the NH to welcome her - and drop off her stuff. Sounds like a yummy dinner.
I need to get outside and walk a mile or so too, L Ann. The sun has come out.

Re: Mme A. Meilland Rose on Monday @ TDD - C&C
Yummm, I got supper made, delivered to dfBS,
came home and ate my supper
fed ddog a good portion of meatloaf (she got grocery store ground beef, I made my meatloaf with beef from steer that my cousin raised - grass fed, mother's milk as long as desired, and pampered for its entire life - it was truly amazing. TY to my cousin for sharing a pound with me) I added mashed potatoes to ddog's meal as she does love m pots.
I even got much of counter cleaned - before serving supper, so now I have post meal clean up to do, but I have done preliminaries.
I've been listening to classical music radio all day-
Royal Fireworks by Handel
Fur Elise by Beethoven
"various stuff" by JS Bach
are a couple of my favorites that were on today
I think that has encouraged me.
enough sitting. BGD and head back to the K

Re: Mme A. Meilland Rose on Monday @ TDD - C&C
Gma, I miss being able to make homemade food for my dogs. Germane's sole food is the vet food with hydrolyzed protein, and she still gets the runs randomly. On the bright side, she enjoyed her walk so much this evening, carefully sniffing every good spot, so she's still enjoying life.
I enjoyed the talk about flowers. Both of those roses are beautiful. When I worked at Home Depot, I loved Stockholm Castle the most. I love peonies too. I only ever grew begonias, which were willing to thrive under my hit-and-miss care.
Tuesday and Wednesday are my days off this week, so I'll be around.
Monday
Cleaned up after dog
Put away dry laundry
Put away drying rack
Scrubbed out basin
Washed dishes
Bagged garbage
Walked dog
Put away dry dishes

Re: Mme A. Meilland Rose on Monday @ TDD - C&C
Hi all. Gma I completely understood your tired but needing to do things for your own good. It's hard on emergency call. I'm glad your mother is doing better. And is your friend stable at home now too?
Doggedly that is great germane still enjoys life. It's hard when they are aging and struggling.
Ds is cooking now and Casper did get his walk. A bit better than yesterday but I really do wonder if he's going to eventually hurt me again if I don't figure out how to train him better. I should be doing some stuff yet but now I'm tired. I think clean up from supper is going to be good enough.
