SHEs Organized

Couldn't think of a topic for today. So this is it -manage your day. I will try to manage mine (mainly "manage DH!)

Dh came into bed about 10:30 last night and said, "I overdid it!" About 2:30 he asked for pain med. So today he is relaxing & resting and taking SHORT walks. He didn't walk all that far yesterday, but obviously too far for him yet. If he can push the recovery speed he will. Think he realizes now that pushing/not "pacing" will slow him down. He just had way too much company and talking. He decided he wanted to ride around the pond in our golf cart -after DS-A & family had been here for dinner (they brought it). I took him, but with stopping many times along the way to talk with people, it took us nearly an hour & a half to make the trip. Told you he should be 'mayor'. Visiting nurse yesterday told him to "PACE" don't push! I just hung a sign on the patio door that says just that!! His oxygen level is falling too low even with a very short walk. And his heart beat is erratic. So.....................

Dh just decided he'd like a sweat suit to put on so may make a trip in to K mart shortly. Forgot there was one of those much closer than w mart. Won't need to be gone so long.

Hoping Kathryn got some rest last night -know how hard that is in a hospital. We'll be waiting for word from today's procedure.

Dh was just reading the sports page. Young man we know who played in the PGA this weekend earned $228,000 from this one tournament. Can't even imagine. DS-R used to play golf with him and his DGFather. Who'd a 'thunk' it. Imagine he's been able to pay off his college loans.

G' morning all! I've been on the phone already with nursing home, hospital and dsis and I think today is moving day for her.

I decided not to go to the continuing education thing today. Too much OMM and not a good use of my time for today. OTOH, sitting here at the computer isn't a good use either. I'm having trouble sleeping w/o a benydryl lately, my mind starts racing with all the stuff I haven't done. I really don't have the heart for the temple stuff right now and I feel bad about that.

Clear kitchen counters

Dd1 and I walked this morning but cut it short. I was doing the clomping thing again. I was pretty sedentary (lazy) Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday. So I am hoping that is it.

Dd1, dsil and dgd16 are leaving today for a 4 day vacation. They are going to Colorado. One day they will be hiking with 9 different ziplines interspersed and that afternoon they are doing a raft trip. The next day is a 6 hour trail ride. Dgs19 is away at a College Bible Bowl Tournament. He goes to Nationals next month. Their idea of a vacation didn't interest him and he didn't want to take any more time off of work, so they scheduled this while he is gone, with his blessing.

As dh drove off today, he noticed that someone had knocked over our mailbox. He needed to get gas, so called me and I went and picked it up out of the street. A smashed beer can fell out. We need a new mailbox anyway. I just wish they would have done it Friday or Saturday night, when dh could have taken care of it over the weekend.

Today we hit the triple digits and they will be hanging around for days to come.

I need to buy groceries today. If I could think of meals to fix, it would make it easier.

Good Morning!

adjusting my seat in the virtual waiting room while we wait to hear about Kathryn....

This morning found me scrambling to catch up from missed phone calls and messages. Somehow my phone turned itself off. I missed 2 phone calls last night and one call this morning, plus 6 text messages. One of the calls was from lawyer when her flight was cancelled. She isn't going to be back in time for our appt today so we are rescheduled for tomorrow. That meant scrambling to get hold of 3 generations who were scheduled to arrive at our home in a couple hours to care for LO while we went to meeting.

LO is dressed & ready for his first swim lesson of the year. He had a strong opinion about not wearing his boots to the pool. He was okay with wearing swim trunks but saw no reason to give up his boots. Oh boy. Getting him out of his jeans/boots is like pulling teeth. DMom has been talked with LO for weeks trying to get him to wear shorts this summer. LO isn't budging on his desire to wear jeans like all his mentors do.

We are joining Cowinkle, MT, Lilac (and maybe others) in over 100 degree temps. The weather forecast says every day this week is going to be triple digits.

*POOF*ing out the door

I'm just feeling like I'm not gettin' much done these days. Although yesterday I did get through the 60 pages of forms/agreements, etc. for dsis and got those scanned and sent off. I start feeling so overwhelmed when I think about all the clutter here and all on my li&t.

Must dos for today:
Pick up dog food at vet for dMacs
Visit dmom
complete court reports for dsis that are late
what else?

Nice to do:
Pedicure
Petsmart for glucosamine for ddogs
Grocery store for toilet paper (but I think we could hold out another day....typical procrastinator)

OKay, my ds was always stubborn about getting out of long pants in the summer, until he just was roasting. I think it was something about those white legs!

A quickCI as I wait on word from K in C I'm sipping coffee .
A cooling trend to arrive at 70's by the end of the week! Yea today's temp range is are 52*-82*.

watering under way back is done

Laundry, sinks and other daily's await my attn.

I'm with Lo on the long pants/jeans in the summer! LOL!

Good morning, villagers ~

Checking in to see how everyone is getting along. I stopped by last night long enough to cuop and have been thinking about Kathryn. Thanks to Ken for the initial notice. How cool is it that they can login even from the hospital and save having to make a bunch of phone calls!

Keeping an eye on MrDee's progress, too. I guess it's a good sign that he even thinks he wants to be up and out so soon? But what a job, convincing a workaholic to relax.

I was just too exhausted to post anything last night. I've been buried in the library's basement for 4 days finishing up the annual book sale. We ended up doing ok for sales. This afternoon after the library opens I need to go do some final little bits of cleanup, return the key I had checked out, and then go to the bank with the deposit. Then I'm going to try to stay away from the library until Friday or Saturday. Need a break!

This morning so far I have
*fed the cats
*washed some dishes
*replied to several Emails
*read and deleted several more Emails
*did some arms exercises, and
* DPC called my usual lab to see if they have an order for bloodwork. They do not have an order, so I decided to make life easier and see if the doctor will refill my prescription without that extra step.
*Another DPC and the PA said she would call in the Rx to the pharmacy, so I can pick that up tomorrow.

It helps a lot that I don't have to drive into The Big City for that blood draw. Decided to cook and eat breakfast before s2s so I could cuop at the same time. Now I think I will do some more chores and then maybe another set of exercises before s2s.

Swim trunks and cowboy boots
