Waving to kittykatt, Bama, kitkat, helian and gma!
So we're doing musical instruments this week, kittykatt? We only do piano and guitar in this house, and there's a flute somewhere, and of course scout whistles. But there's also four kids and a cat, so we can't do quiet even if we wanted to! :-)

Home from work. One of "those" days. Did a lot of admin stuff before lunch because I really, really didn't want to get started on a contract that's due ASAP, and when I did get started, I realized it was totally messed up and was not able to finish it before I had to run to get DBD from school in time. Tomorrow's another day, but the deadline is... well it's past it already, but it's not really my fault as it was somebody else's responsibility and I did state I didn't have time for it in April. Oh the joys of high stress work in corporations!
I need to get outside to at least do the watering, but first things first!

TaDas
- morning madness
- everybody everywhere pretty much on time (not me, I was late because of faulty lights at roadwork - it held me back by 45 minutes! but nobody really cares)
- very productive, but unsatisfactory day at work
- pick up DBD
- round of talks with kids, including some help to DS with his homework
- rewashing lights (wanted to flip them to dryer last night, but found out the load of towels was not finished because nobody noticed the warning light to empty the water container :roll: )

ToDos
- morning routine
- midday routine
- more homework assistance
---
- afternoon routine
- fold towels
- water garden + flowerpots

Yes, Gma, the Dr. comes to the nursing home. She was extremely communicative and responsive, called me after the check up and ordered several tests. And sent me a referral for a neurologist for Mom's Parkinson's. I'm pleased! I hope your dentist appointment went well.
Enjoy your break, Bama. They're important too.
That's an early pick up, L Ann.
Ugh - sorry about the messed up contract, trissie. I remember those crazy busy times with kids. I don't know how you do it all. I feel busy enough now after the travel and preps last week, coordinating and supplying things for my mom, and seemingly continuously hosting dinner parties. :roll: Fortunately, payroll is fairly light for me this week.

helian, this is so good for your mom. It will take a while for you to feel settled, but it's not a good, but a great, move!

Helia, great news about your mom and doctor.

For fellow cat lovers, I ran across this today. I can totally relate.

"Do not stand at your bowl and meow.
I gave you food. It's in there now.
I feed you at the dawning light,
I feed you at the fall of night.
I feed you kibble mixed with meat
And wet food for a special treat.
I feed you even though you scoff
At all the food within your trough.
I feed you, yet and still you yell
Like as a beast from deepest hell.
Do not stand at your bowl and cry.
I gave you food. You will not die."

Yes, thank you friends. I feel like I can facilitate much better care for Mom here. :)
Also, several of our friends here are MDs, so I can ask for suggestions! R is an internist so he might be a good resource; he's offered to look at my Mom's test results, etc. before. I think we want to see if we can get her to be more awake. The Dr. was puzzled by her sleepiness. She did decrease her Parkinson's med to match the original prescription - bc the directions given by the last NH didn't match the prescription. She was being given more. :?: I also have forms for an application for the dentist that visits the nursing home each month. :)

I didn't jog this afternoon. I was just so tired; I was falling asleep in my chair. I did go in to payroll and picked up my books, got some things from WF, and then cut up the cabbage for dinner and helped set the table. We will be 7 around the table. I just finished a cup of coffee to help me wake up. I hope I don't regret doing that at 10 pm. . .

Dinner guests should be here any minute now.
