SHEs Organized

I am not dead but sleepeth... and busy-eth.

Good gracious, where does the time go???

No time now to post either, and I haven't even opened Sat. & Sun. threads, but I did want to give a BIG ditto to Harriet's comments re: grandparents, helia. And (((BIG HUGS))) to you for having to deal with this!!! Hard to even imagine what is going on w/your parents, coming from my world where parents/grandparents have ALWAYS been sooo in-our-face. (((BIG, BIG HUGS))) and lots of good wishes that you get some answers/resolution to this situation.

Gotta s2s fast... we have appt @ social security office for dh to get signed up... have to buy groceries... visit w/ds-ddil-dgs, who have been out of town since last Wed... and find out when daunt's mother's funeral will be.
Daunt's mother died yesterday -- not unexpected, she had had been in nursing home about 3 years. I spent most of yesterday afternoon @ nursing home w/them. That explains my Sunday. Don't know what happened to my Saturday...

Harriet thanks for that info. on the forth & hens!
{{{Lucyl. Helia & all whoever else needs a hug!}}}
Dd called and grand kids are in vbs [va. Bible school] this in the morning.
But not the rest of the week too much of a hassel for dd and dgson is at the stage they did not have much activity for him. I was so glad to have this morning off!
Thanks for the patience done whining now!

Next round done.
H's work shirts are in the dryer now.
Eggs are peeled.
Ex. done ten mi. on ex. bike.

Dh and I went for a long walk, 3.5km. I stopped multiple times along the way, including a long stop watching children play on a splash pad in a park. It was especially fun to watch the toddlers.

It is now overcast here which might make another walk a good idea. I'm exhausted, though and fighting a nap. My side is sore so I should probably succumb.

On the walk I bought a raspberry scone from a little shop a block away. It was wonderful, but huge so it plus a glass of milk formed my brunch (since I only had one breakfast.) Then I had half a PB&Banana sandwich, some baked cheetos and some cut veggies for my second lunch. And a bit more milk. We've drunk the first 1.3 litres so will have to open another bag soon. At this rate, we'll have to buy another 3 litres. There isn't much milk at breakfast (just a small jug for cereal) so having lots with our breakfast seemed wrong.

Yes, the nap is definitely winning. Poor dh will have to sit and read some more while I nap (or go for a walk by himself.)

Know dh really likes you now, Kathryn -PB & Banana sandwich -one of his favorites.

Visiting nurse is here now. Having some irregular heartbeats and quite short of breath. Of course the weather is bad today for heart patients. Think she may still be calling the cardiologist.

Know the nurse doesn't want dh walking again today. His oxygen level dropped dramatically when she took him for a very short walk. He's snoozing again now. Know this is very hard for him to accept right now as he's such a "go-go" guy. His mind wants to, but his body is definitely saying NO!

There's pot luck tonight and I had already decided we weren't going. Some don't understand, but that's not my problem. He's out a little bit, but being there means being upright and talking non stop, etc, etc.

DDIL#2 sent pictures of dgs11mo. He's just looking so grown up -especially since he's been walking/running for what seems like forever. Before he was 10months. He tries so hard to be 'big'.

Am going to keep a close eye on dh over the next 24 -just doesn't seem quite right to me -well he isn't, but as much as he's telling, I keep wondering. Nurse has a really good way of getting everything out of him though. He will see the Dr tomorrow night so feel somewhat comfortable with that. Pulse was quite elevated today -even at rest for some time. Since it's almost 5, don't expect to hear any more from the cardiologist today though. At least the nurse called them with everything -all her stats.

Yes, Harriet, I feel for anyone who has breathing issues in this heat/humidity. Thinking of dKathryn where she is now -not that far north of us. Take care of you too, please!

We have some rain showing on the radar, just not quite here yet. I hope we get it here; on Saturday I helped DH spread 10 lbs. of grass seeds in the bare spots all over our yard.

Hugs for {Dee} and {Lynlee}. I wish things were easier for both of you. Dee, was wondering what your experience on DSR's Bday was.

helia, I can tell you my first thoughts when my DGSs and family say they are coming are what shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc. etc. I will have to get done and what timeframe I have. I always say Yay, come ahead great to see everyone in the same instant I am considering how to get it all done.... I certainly hope something like that is the case with your DParents, and hope your DB can shed some light.

Sunday was a lot of cooking. I roasted an 11 lb. turkey and sliced it up; made gravy; boiled the bones and made a big pot of turkey vegetable soup; then I baked a winter squash and mashed that up. Today I met my friend who is facing 2 surgeries, 1 this week and the 2nd 2 weeks later and gave her all the food. DH had one of the drumsticks for dinner and I had a cup of the soup.

Went back to the dr. for lab results and many things a-ok for which I'm extremely thankful. My thyroid indicates I am hypo again so medicine has been changed. Light bulb moment as I thought of my naps and rising (horrible) anxiety. Cholesterol is up but she indicates the test is probably off because of the thyroid. I have new med to pick up at pharmacy and go to retest in 2 months.

Dee It only got up to 82 here today and the humidity isn't that high. We get a constant breeze off the lake which is lovely. If it was any colder, the breeze would be discouraging, but as it is, I'm so glad I'm here and not home (where the base temp was higher.) They are getting storms at home but nothing serious on the radar for here.

I napped or watched tv from 2:30 to 4:30 and then we got out and had dinner. I ate half of mine (souvlaki) and brought the rest home for tomorrow night's dinner. I'll have some fruit and maybe a piece of toast later tonight. I'm still 'hungry' but my stomach is full so I'll let myself digest for a while. I'm still thinking about the gelato which is close enough that I could walk there by myself, especially now that we've found a back way into the building so we don't have to walk all the way around when we want to walk to the shops.

Dh is at a movie now so I'm here alone. That's the point of the vacation, to let him do what he wants. While I was resting he went for a walk on his own and picked up a frozen lemonade. So he's got lots of walking in today. I'm up to 8300 steps. If I went out for gelato that should put me over the 10K. I'm short stairs, though, only at 8 out of 10. Yesterday I ended the day at 18 because I was up and down the stairs at home while packing (plus the stairs at the church.)
