Good morning

Good morning
Jo, good for you for getting your shots.
Hi Ed and Irene.
I'm hoping to start getting organized for our trip today. Get my exercise in, etc.
It's currently 61F, 16C. Sunny to partly cloudy. Near record high temperatures. High 81F, 27C. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.
Wishing all a wonderful weekend. 🌞🎃🍁🥂0 -
Good Saturday morning,
Vix where are you going?
Jo we are planning on getting our shots just haven't done it yet ,I did get my flu shot.
Ed hope you and Jason are doing good0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 19 sunny degrees with a warm, sunny high of 27 expected and 1% chance of precipitation.
Jason's drain tubes came out with no apparent issues. In good news, I don't have a hernia, but will need surgery anyway (which I knew) so my surgery will at least not be complicated by that! We haven't made any firm plans with the hospital or doctors for my surgery date but will need to wait until Jason is more healed up. He may take a few weeks to heal up yet, but seems to be moving on with the healing process.

good morning
Ed, sorry you will need surgery, but glad it's less complicated. Wishing Jason a speedy recovery.

Jo, hope you are having a nice weekend.
It's currently 62F,17C. Cloudy with periods of rain. High near 70F, 21C. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 100%.

I need to get out to the grocery for a few things, and to PetSmart for cat food. And there seems to always be laundry.
I made biscuits with sausage gravy for my Sunday breakfast.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
We have 16 (Celsius) clear degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 26 and 2% chance of precipitation.
Well, it's back to work day after what seemed too short a weekend. Jason is moving slowly, but he IS moving, though he feels best when settled down. He is going to try to work today, but may not make it a full day yet. I'm sure it will be fine regardless.
Still laundry to fold. And testing to do.

good morning
Ed, time is slipping by quickly! Sending healing wishes to Jason. It's good that he's up and about a bit. Hugs to you both.
Hi Jo and Irene, hope all is well.
I have an acupuncture appt this morning and some errands to run. Did laundry yesterday, and some minor clearing out. Need to do more of that (not right now!), but also need to get ready for our trip. I may pack today because tomorrow will be busy with my crafts and Halloween.
It's currently 57F, 14C. Areas of patchy fog early. Considerable cloudiness. Occasional rain showers this afternoon. High 72F. SW winds shifting to NW at 10 to 20 mph.
Wishing all a bright shiny new week. 🍁🍂🎃👻😉0 -

Happy Halloween!
It is currently 45F. I may have to turn on the heat.
Vix-Have a wonderful trip!
Ed-Happy to hear Jason is on the mend and sorry you have to have surgery.
Hi Irene.
I just realized that I didn't checked in all weekend. On Saturday I went to a pop up market. There were about 50 vendors,
mostly halloween themed. Sunday I went to the grocery store and ran a few other errands. Yesterday I just puttered around the house.
Have a great day!

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 1 (Celsius) clear degrees (feels like -3) with an expected sunny high of 13 and no chance of precipitation. We also have a low humidity warning for the area.
Jason is better every day, but still gets very tired after only minimal work. I'm trying to keep the food interesting while making sure he gets what his body needs to heal.
My surgery is tentatively scheduled for December 5, so hopefully he'll be completely up to snuff by then!
Supper last night was home made taco salad (no shells) and breakfast this morning was a waffle, sausage, cheese, and egg sandwich drizzled with real maple syrup. Whole grain, reduced carb, protein waffles of course. The syrup was a big indulgence but my blood glucose was low enough this morning that I felt it would be fine. I usually have that sandwich without syrup.
Work awaits.

Good evening;
Currently 43F and rainy.
Ed-glad Jason is feeling better. Your breakfast sounds good.
After work, I came home and made chocolate chip cookies for hubby. Then did nothing much for the rest of the day.
Have a good evening. 0 -
Jason's father (my father in law) is in the hospital, since the day after Jason's surgery, having let things get so bad there was no choice. He has a clot in his aorta, pneumonia, and bed sores. He has not been doing well for many years, and has reached the end.
They have started in-hospital hospice and he is on morphine now. While initially there was talk about moving him to an assisted living facility (should have been done years ago, but he wouldn't hear of it) he has made peace with himself, that he is at the end and is OK with this.
Jason wanted to go up, but it is just not possible at this time, as Jason is not well enough to travel, and really can't be that far from our doctors here during his recovery.
Jason has made peace with this, and will be checking in periodically with the folks in Kentucky. I am sad that he CAN'T go, but at the same time glad that he's NOT going, as I'd have been terrified for him the whole time. If he had insisted on going, something he almost did, we would have worked something out, but realistically there is nothing that he could do there that he can't do from here, as he's not physically able to do very much yet.
He has been getting on video calls with the family. I'm probably more visibly upset about this than Jason is.
Jason is the most educated person in his family, and arguably the smartest, so they depend on him to interpret what the medical people were saying, and I'm sure they are upset that he can't come, but they understand that it's not a good idea at all. I think he has said his goodbye, though he may still be able to speak to his father another time or two before his father's passing.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 1 (Celsius) clear degree (feels like -2) with an expected sunny high of 14 and 0% chance of precipitation. You may be sure that our heat is on!
There is still a little laundry left to fold. I got a lot done yesterday, and for once Dinah did not show up to help. She was napping on the couch. I guess she didn't hear me open the dryer door from there. Just some bedclothes left to fold.
And work awaits as well.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday!
We have 0 (Celsius) clear degrees with an expected sunny high of 18 and 1% chance of precipitation.
Jason was up all night dealing remotely with issues at the hospital where his father is a patient. There was a misunderstanding between the hospice instructions and the hospital staff and my sister-in-law was extremely upset by the hospital staff.
Everything seems to be sorted now, so Jason has finally laid down. Once again he was champing at the bit (in the wee hours yet) to pack up and go to Kentucky but I talked him down. Hopefully the remaining time will go without any more issues.
With the large interruption in my sleep, I could use more myself.
This afternoon we have our fall/winter HVAC maintenance.
Hoping for a quiet work day.

Good Friday morning,
Ed maybe you can take a nap latter.
Well I am back to doing our regular walk with out pain.
Hi Jo
Vix hope you are enjoying your vacation0 -
Good morning;
Currently34F with a high of 55F. The heat is officially on.
Ed-I hope you can get a nap in today.
Irene-That is great that you are back walking pain free.
Sophie kept us awake off and on last night. She had plenty of food and water, so I don't know what her problem was.
Have a great day.

Well, Jason's father passed peacefully at 9:03 this morning. He's in a better place.
Now we get the fun of remotely helping with funeral home stuff...

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Jason at this sad time.0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 3 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 22 and 1% chance of precipitation.
I got my "pretty quiet workday" yesterday, and the HVAC maintenance was postponed until next Tuesday.
Today they are arranging for the cremation. Tonight we have (if we go) a party to attend, planned weeks ago, after the last pool party of the summer. Tonight is a late Halloween party with a turkey dinner.
If we go, I may make my fiesta hash brown casserole so Jason will be sure to have something to eat.
Regardless, I need to get to the grocery this morning or afternoon.
Jason will decide later whether he is up to it. I'll drive and we needn't stay too long if he gets tired.

We did go to the party last night and Jason insisted on driving. It was his first time driving since the surgery. There was some discomfort for him, but he managed. I was, of course, prepared to take over if necessary. He drove home too, and after the driving and the party, both of us were exhausted. Nice that we got the extra hour of sleep last night. The cats were not too thrilled at having their feeding time pushed back an hour though.
He's still not anywhere near up to driving for 6 or 7 hours, up to Kentucky, but is assisting remotely with taking care of the necessary stuff up there. We paid for the cremation already, but will still need to buy a marker for the burial spot, at some point.
Now the search is on for a new place for his mother to live, as she is not eligible to stay in the small apartment they had been living in, and would prefer a little more room anyway. She has begun cleaning up and preparing.
There is a senior living facility that sounds promising and is ideally located for her. If they have an opening, we will help pay initial costs for that, and if necessary will assist with the rent. I feel sure they will find something for her before she has to move.
I got some of the groceries yesterday, but need to get the rest today.

Good afternoon;
Currently 61F and cloudy.
Ed-I am glad you and Jason went to the party. I hope you can find a place for Jason's mother that suits her needs.
Hi Irene.
Vix-I hope you are having a wonderful vacation.
We went to Ikea to pick up a few things and to Petco for cat litter, and have nothing planned for the rest of the day.
Have a relaxing Sunday!

Good morning;
Currently 48F with a high of 50 and cloudy.
I finished all my house work, ran to walmart and target to get a few things, trimmed my mum plants and I am going to make
whole berry cranberry sauce. After that I am done for the day and plan to sit and read my book.
Have a good day! 0
