Tatra National Park Tuesday @ TDD - C&C

[Bama]

Good morning.
Thanks for the start trissie.
Kittykatt and KitKat, I haven’t kept up but hope with all the dressing talk, everyone is ok.

I woke up before the alarm went offso been playing on the phone. It’s raining so that might be what woke me. Need to get moving. Taking dh to ortho doc soon to see how bad this is, dh was supposed to have an echo and stress test tomorrow, reschedule?, how this affects surgery on other knee, now need both or does this need to heal first?, lots of questions I’m dreading dealing with. Poor guy is using one of mom’s walkers to get to and from the bathroom right now. The er didn’t give any instructions as to how much rest is needed, when to return to work, care for injuries, nada. I’m so not happy with them right now.
Guess I need to get moving. Dd has been very sweet and helpful. She did my pet chores and a light house cleaning yesterday and offered the same today. Let me see what I can knock out first. We will need her help getting dhs truck home. It also contains a now spoiled lunch lol, plus his meds and diabetes journal/monitor we need to retrieve to know his daily dosage (depends on blood sugar reading).

First up is pet chores, feed water litter meds.

Bama, that sounded so scary! I'm glad dh isn't more hurt, though of course it's awful that now his other knee is injured. I hope the Dr. is helpful this morning.
Sounds like you're getting a walk in today, Kitty.
Thanks for the start, trissie. I really like national/ nature parks anywhere in the world. I'd like to visit Tatra some day! Did we do a park theme here years ago? I forget things, so a refresher is always nice!! Have a great day at payroll.
I hope you have a great day today, kitkat. I'm focusing on Spanish on duolingo. I have Dutch as well when I need to earn a lot of points quickly. I also have Korean and Hebrew and Arabic, but I've let those 3 slide.
See you soon, Doggedly!

I really like all the SHEMs here!

I didn't get back here yesterday. *sigh* Payroll kept me busy most of the day. I got home around 4 pm and was very tired. I couldn't gather mojo to do more payroll, which would have been helpful, or go for a jog. In fact, I forgot to do duolingo and update my health apps. Gardener K, an ex-colleague of mine, was here at 5:56 for her 6 pm appointment with dh. I chatted with her and walked around the yard with her. Dh had totally forgotten about the meeting and ignored/ didn't see/ forgot about a text and 1 phone call from me after K's arrival. Only a 2nd phone call succeeded in summoning him; he is the one who deals with the gardeners so he needed to talk with her. He arrived after 6:30. He apologized pretty profusely to K and later to me, so there's that. It was a little annoying.

It looks like today will be partly cloudy here.

Today: I got up 30 minutes late because I forgot to set my alarm. I need to be otd in 1:20. Right now, I'm working on a cup of coffee, the first priority. Before I head out, I'd like to do the basic morning routine, take care of payroll communication, pack a snack, and gas the car. Then, I'll need to drive about 35 minutes to the nature park to meet up with S2, K, and J. We'll hike for a couple hours - should be fun and hopefully pretty! Then, we'll have lunch together. Then, I'll leave. I think S2 and K are staying until 3 pm, but J, like me, is leaving early. K and S2 will be at the park in 30 minutes. Egads - how can they spend all day on a weekday at a park?! They have 2 and 3 kids still at home. Sounds lovely! After the park excursion, I will need to get some groceries to make dinner and make further progress on exam prep. Dinner will be GF ravioli with homemade tomato sauce and a green salad. I should probably start prep for class tomorrow as I've agreed to sub for LH tomorrow morning if needed. She is having an oral procedure today on her gums. She has subs today and thinks she'll be OK to teach tomorrow. We shall see.
