    Good morning.

    I coaxed the Nutritionist into meeting with Mom yesterday because she hasn't been eating. She has Gerd and gout, so her options are a bit limited and nobody took any notes about food issues during intake. We're doing her Care Plan at 10 today.

    I've been up since 430 and am already wiped out. I may need to figure out a nap for myself later.

    Morning~

    Hope your Mum improves and begins eating more soon, Lou. Are there other facilities that might be more of an option or is she set on this one (based on her connection to them)? Get a snort and a nap!

    Typed everything out this morning; took the #MotherTucker on morning routine and breakfast and somehow it got spoofed.....#MFP gods must have needed their monthly tax! *kitten*

    Exterior stone work underway yesterday. Starting to look nice.

    HH later today with my old running partner from old old 'hood. Looking forward to seeing him!

    #MotherTucker off to day care for 1/2 day of zooms and play time.

    Cheers,
    Skipper

    You don't get a choice when Medicare is involved, Skip. You go where there's a bed available. The place she was at last time was apparently much better.

    Happy HUMPING,
    Good Morning,
    Busy day; yoga, pickup drugs from over in Dennis's hood, meeting with financial advisor then carrying DGS for a haircut, he wants to look good for prom Friday.
    Lou, it's hard making decisions for parents and wondering if they are getting good care; generally if you have someone to drop in several times a week unannounced or scheduled patients get better care.
    Skip, is home still on schedule for finish.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    I feel for you, Lou. It's a hard thing to have to go through.

    I wouldn't live in a neighborhood that didn't allow fences (The association is unfamiliar with Robert Frost, I guess). But the point is that everyone agreed to the rules before they bought in.

    We're still running temperatures well below average. DDIL, her mom and the grandkids went to Vegas this week hoping to enjoy some warm sun and pool time - and got the same weather we have: lows in the 30s, highs in the 50s. It will be 80, there, the day after they fly home.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • MFP seems to be having it challenges lately. Running really slow.
    • I'm on the fence about fences.
    • Best of luck with your Mom Lou.
    • There is an afternoon baseball game in my plans for the day.

    Morning BBB

    I don’t imagine we will ever own in an HOA neighborhood. DH does not like to be told what to do. He just think people should do the right thing and take care of their property. Sigh

    Sorry you have to go through all of this Lou.

    Today is the big market in Centro. We are off to there after a doggie walk (too crowded t take our big dog). Then Ron has a root canal this afternoon. I need to decide if I’m going to water aerobics or running the remote and watching a few episodes of Lincoln Lawyer.

    Loved Lincoln lawyer

    Just wrapping up office work now. Busy day with all kinds of bs. Sigh

    Warm up here to upper 50s. Might last a couple hours lol. Then back to winter.

    I'm on the fence about being crowned HOA president lol. I just want everyone to follow the hoa restrictions and do not ask me for permission for anything that's restricted. Its real Simple. And your grown adults that should be able to read.

    Any photos of your pets Steph you care to share?

    Prayers for Lou, Mom and family!
