Caroline Furioli Friday

[Lauralind]

Morning all. Doggedly I do agree that playpen is perfect for germane. Poor germane her age is really catching up on her. Maybe you can use it at home too so she contains mess and maybe a smaller space if she's confused. I don't know if that would work.

Kittykat thank you. This morning's task is to find that email and investigate further. Can I print it? I should try. Some instructions for attempting to make things better before meds etc.

Cards and chocolate sounds like a wonderful gift of thanks helian. It does seem your mom had great care in that home.

Lann drive safe. Hopefully your doggo will get whatever out of the system ASAP.

Trissie it must be a theme today. Ds has no school today either. This is a crazy stretch. Next week is a new holiday from the last five ish years? Then Thanksgiving is in a couple weeks after. The first month of school only has a couple five day weeks.

On other news I guess I almost got a wave of emotions for a bit reading helians end of life events for mom. Blessedw2 her mom is not doing well again either. So many of our moms are passed or in health struggles. Dad had quite the adventures traveling with mom. She is getting to be quite needy in care too. It seems dad still thinks he can do it himself but is starting to realize she is going to end up in care sometime. I'm struggling knowing how to spend time with her now. Besides just watching shows with her.

Trusting and hoping he has had time to think and we can make some progress on all his legal stuff. Something has to give there's got to be a way.

Anyway with ds home I can go to work at 8. I was doing some supervisor tasks yesterday. Organizing. Cleaning. Fixing a few things in the computer. And heading up my young team learning merchandising. I think I will have to tell the manager. It seems to work when I am there to ask questions and such. I kinda took till for a bit so they could focus. Today's task... give her something to do that is hers. I am trying to find a supervisor type role guiding them to learn the ropes.

I should get in the shower and do routines. Maybe have some extra time to do a few things before work.

Shower
S&s both baths and reboot laundry
Tidy laundry room and master bedroom some

Add stuff to dw and turn on
Finish tidying kitchen
Clean cat boxes and take garbage out maybe before dh goes
Sweep everywhere
Take my shelving out of the room in prep to finish it

Apparently, the lady did confirm with her insurance provider that it was her fault - they've already contacted DH to make arrangments for the repairs. He was planning on having some job done on his car anyway (something about some sensor?) so it just gets pushed up a bit. bonus part - he can claim a replacement vehicle for the time of the repairs so we won't be down a car (it's not gonna be a seven-set 4-wheeler like he has now, but life's not perfect )

Bama, hoping it's a routine thing for DH!
laurlind, at least DS can be home alone and you don't have to arrange for childsitting!
helia, I handled part of the communication (it would have been extremely mean of me not to, as this is a process I've done extensive research on for work), but he has to do the legwork, i.e. get his car to the shop.
L.Ann, GL at Hopkins!
kittykatt, I am all in for doing a bit of extra early so that Christmas doesn't hit all at once!

Hello, all. A beautiful fall day here.

Germane already has a 16-ft pen in the apartment, trissie, so the playpen will be just for travel.
I'm glad that your DH was not hurt in the accident, and hope that the repairs and insurance all go smoothly.

WTG on early Christmas shopping, Kittykatt. Get those purchases done before the prices spike for Christmas!
How was the concert last night?

I hope that things go well at Hopkins, and that your ddog's digestive troubles sort themselves out quickly.

I'm sure that the nursing home staff will be very happy to know that they are appreciated, helia.

Lauralind, I am lucky that my apartment is all wood floor and tile, so it's easy to clean up after Germane. I prefer to give her as much freedom as possible. She has always had a 16 square foot pen for when I'm out of the apartment. When I am home, her favourite spots are to sleep in the bathroom when I'm awake, and right under my bed when I'm asleep, LOL.
Is your dmother still talking easily? If so, she might enjoy it if you ask her questions about her childhood and teenage years. And those stories can be so interesting.

I hope that your DH's appointment goes well, Bama.

Doggedly mom hasn't had any form of conversation for almost a couple of years. At least a good portion of the year before her surgery last summer. That's why it's so tricky. She likes pictures. Follows conversation but doesn't participate. She can agree or disagree but gets them backwards.

Lunch break. Oh wait I was going to make me coffee. No time loll
