Allie - I’m so happy for you to have a getaway! Enjoy every second of it.

Rebecca - I see your mother in you. She looks so young.

Katla - funnily enough I had a terrible fear of dogs especially German Shepherd’s. Our neighbour had one and he knew me but still barked like mad when anyone came to the door. One time I went to go sledding with the kids and the dog knocked me down and wouldn’t let me up. His teeth were so close to my face! I wouldn’t go near dogs for a long time especially German Shepherd’s. My husbands family had two when I met them for the first time and those two changed my mind on the breed. I’m still quite nervous around all dogs I don’t know though.

Vicki - how is the hiring situation going?

Flea - I’m thinking of you often.

Ginny - hope you are safe from Covid and it’s just a sinus infection or something.

Michele - I wouldn’t worry about the daycare place. All of them are having the same issues here. It sure is hard to stay away from it.
I’ve heard the drawer under the oven was for keeping food warm. I always used it for storage.

Machka - excellent advice. I am always told to just come out and say whatever I’m thinking. I’m so worried about “rocking the boat” it holds me back though.

Beth - what a great little neighbour you have.

Barbara - she is a very well trained dog, I was using the wrong code word! 😂. She is told to “sit and wait”. I was just saying come back here, when I found that out she was remarkably different. She sits, bows, does high 5’s, shakes a paw and a couple other things I can’t remember. My daughter was alone with her a lot and wanted a well mannered dog, never having one from a pup before she watched tons of YouTube videos to help them both. Today Ember is 1.
Her other issue here was that her little lake community is very close so all the dogs greet each other, and get love from everyone. Not so much here. 😂

Heather - I love your table settings. I would feel special and welcome. Love Bea, she looks like she’s going to go far in life.

I had a fairly decent work day even though I overslept a bit and was a few minutes late. (Not late for the start time, just late for my usual start time).

Yesterday I fixed my dishwasher all by myself. It is brand new just go it in March and it wasn’t draining properly for some reason. I looked in underneath it and the hose was kinked a bit. I ran it through and it drained perfectly after I fixed it! I had asked DH if that could be the problem a few weeks ago and he said he didn’t think so. He apologized to me last night and told me I had done a good job. 😂. Glad I didn’t pay someone to come look at it.

I found out a younger (once upon a time) friend passed away today. We were FB friends now, but didn’t converse a lot. She just had a new grand baby last week that she didn’t get to meet. It took a while for me to find out, but apparently she was waiting for a liver transplant.

Have yet to visit the gym. This week we travel to Seattle for husbands yearly liver transplant appointment. His tests start at 7am , so we start the morning at 4am, leave by 5am to get there by 7. It will be a long day. Hopefully well will be able to have lunch in the University's park area between tests and main appointment.👍💖

Athena did well, the babysitter informed to my son. With daughter in law working full time, son having to do in class learning for his college classes, they had to get a babysitter. She stated she cried a little bit, but then was able to play and feel better. Its too bad that we don't live closer and I could help them out. Son stated the morning after I left, Athena woke up asking, "Mimi play"? 💖💖

Did tracy Long Staying Power DVD then walked around the parking lot. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Cathe Cardio Mashup DVD

After exercise went to Wynn Dixie to buy a paper then home. Put two loads of laundry in. Helped Vince sand the door, he used the alcohol on it, I went in the pool while he had lunch, then we used the primer on the door. Surprised we got as much accomplished today as we did. We figure after dinner we can put the lock back in the door then have new keys made and buy paint that will match the storm door so we can paint the outside. Then all we need to do is have the door installed in February

Julie – I seem to have plenty of energy during the day, it’s just as the evening comes that I get tired. Maybe it’s the heat down here. Or maybe it’s because I tend to do so much while I’m here.

Door numbers: there was a note that Amazon wasn’t going to get the 1’s in until after Sept. 9 so we had then shipped to NC. Well, they’re going to be delivered to NC tomorrow. I’ll probably just ask my neighbor to pick them up. Had we known they were going to be shipped earlier, would have just had them shipped down here.

Got a new tea pot from Amazon. That seems to be about the only place I can find it. While we were at Brevard Charities, Vince found this waterfall that has a wolf on top. I think Jess is going to like that, she and Colby like wolves. We just had to get a new pump

Allie – good thoughts for your neighbor

Heather – you sure epitomize the saying “the squeaky wheel gets the oil”

slimnfit – welcome!

Katla – maybe Denise will agree to come down since we can’t go up. I’m talking in December. PJ has never been to our house for any holiday. Maybe since we can’t go up there they’ll come down here. I bet Denise will try to come up with some excuse why she can’t, tho

Rebecca – doesn’t it make you feel good that Athena wanted you?

I've been MIA again. I was at my parents' house on Sunday afternoon, visiting my sister & family who have evacuated from NOLA, when my father fell and broke his clavicle. He had to be transported by ambulance - they couldn't even tell us which hospital because so many were on diversion because of COVID but said they would call us. They would not let anyone go with him and told us the hospital were not allowing visitors, but that someone would call us. Three hours later, I called non-emergency dispatch to ask where they took him. I called the ER to be told one person could be with him and it had to be the same one person for the duration of his stay, so I was elected. CT scan revealed a blood clot in his lung which was more concerning to them than the broken clavicle. I was still in my church clothes, which included SPANX under a short, cotton skirt - not the ideal for spending the night in the hospital, but whatever. Once admitted to the hospital, he was allowed two designated visitors, so Mama came and relieved me Tuesday. I had to be back down today at 7:00, but he got to come home so now my sister can help. He's doing really well now, but Monday was a rough, rough day. My father cannot take Percocet - he started sundowning, trying to hit the nurses, refusing his meals, throwing his breathing treatment mask at the respiratory therapist, accusing one nurse of touching him inappropriately (I was right there; she picked up his leg to put it back in the bed because he was trying to get out.) I asked them to stop Percocet and morphine and to give him Tylenol instead and to put him on oxygen to see if that would help with the dementia. It totally went away with oxygen and no more hard drugs and he was back to his regular gentle self. The nurse wrote a request for him to go home with oxygen so that the insurance would pay for it. He's needed it for a while, but kept resisting. We are telling him it is temporary until he gets over this rough patch.

A friend and I have signed up for a metabolic reboot program that begins Sept 5. We are hoping it will give us a layer of accountability that is currently missing. The program is limited to 30 people and we will have group coaching Zooms on Tuesday nights. I'm hopeful that this will be just what I need to get off this plateau I've been on for a couple of years.
