Ahhh, a wonderful evening. I took the evening off from Mom, didn't even call her. I came home and just relaxed. If she really needed something she would have called. Sis was also over there earlier in the day to take her to physical therapy.

Well the Doctor said I am good for another 10,000 miles. Time to party! Great news. We haven't had a party here in a long time. Remember drinks are on the patio or @missrigby will yell at us.

Yes, she will. And anyway, Blue needs to be drinking iced tea, not anything alcoholic. Unless, of course, it's red wine (on the patio). My grandfather said red wine builds red blood. He was really, really old when he died.

Good Morning Kids! Bluerobin, that's GREAT news! I assume you're going to be "beach ready" for Spring Break? The local businesses are already doing their seasonal hiring to get ready.

Heart doctor said no beer. Some say one lite beer a day. I say no beer daily but 2+ regular beers when I do.

Well it's good to know that Mom has her priorities straight. Most nights when I am getting ready to leave she comes up with some really stupid job she wants me to do, it will only take a minute. Tonight she wanted the red and white arrangement taken off the entry way table, because she is done with Valentines day. This included the cloth woven place mat with hearts. This was all to go upstairs to my sisters old room. Ok, I get it hauled up there and then she hollers up the stairs to bring back the two arrangements that look like nests with eggs in them. While I am rooting around looking for these arrangements she turns on the hall light. The hall light is actually a light at the stair landing on each level of the house. I mention that the light is out on the main level and we should change that since she is going up and down those stairs. No she says it's not necessary and she will have my brother change it on Saturday. It apparently has been out for a couple of days. She didn't mention it because I already do so much for her.
The light was changed before I left. I don't mind changing a burnt out light bulb especially if it can prevent a fall etc. I do mind changing out holiday decorations on a weeknight when I haven't been home from work yet, and am later than usual because I did a grocery run for her. Dad has approved Sis taking time off next week to take her to get her hair cut and colored. At least I don't have to worry about that task.

Good Morning Kids! It's sunny, but cool this morning. Again, it'd be great sleeping weather, but I've got things to do... Sharon, you're a great daughter, for everything you do for your Mom!

Morning all.
It has been quite a week. On Monday my DF called me and said he was at the ER. He had surgery on his leg. He had a follow up procedure on Wednesday. He was scheduled for a procedure on Thursday that had to be postponed due to too many emergencies. He is currently on schedule for Monday. Once he has this procedure hopefully he will be sent to rehab for a week or two. He did not call his siblings until Thursday. Now his sister is in a tizzy.
Tuesday I had a doctor's appointment. Decided on my next step which includes surgery. That is scheduled for the beginning of May.

Hello peeps! Well, like ners, it's been a week of medical issues. DH was in the hospital via the ER on Wednesday and stayed there Thursday. Chest pains and disorientation. Turns out he had a small TIA stroke. Docs there had a brain scan from last year, compared it to a new one and saw the difference. Not lasting damage, but he is having issues with short term memory. His long term seems to be fine, his appetite and mobility are fine. He is on two new meds and has follow up appointments. I was supposed to be away overnight this weekend for a race at KSC, but I am driving to the race tomorrow morning instead. Going to be a long day tomorrow.

<HUGS> for ners & NancysSummerSip! Good grief, that's a lot for both of you to deal with in one week. I've got another pile of paperwork to the post office. I'm feeling good because masks were sold out at every store in our community, but after doing some checking online, I discovered that any N95 mask should work just as good, so I checked the local hardware & auto parts stores, and got enough masks for the family.

That will be enough outta you, Bluerobin. You're perilously close to losing your coffee shop privileges! >Gramma's off to check just what privileges are extended by the coffee shop that could be lost by hosting a drunken brawl<

Good Morning Kids! It's even cooler & sunny. Some areas near us had frost warnings, but I don't have any plants here that I'm worried about.

ners hope you will have some help because you don't want to be over exhausted from caring for your DF as you head into your own surgery.

OMG peeps. I am back from KSC, sitting on a heating pad. Starting temp was 41 degrees on the space shuttle runway. Not the coldest race I've done, but dayum. And there's NOTHING OUT THERE. It's worse that driving on the turnpike. At least the turnpike has exits and rest stops.
But it was a fun race. I am making spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, my favorite post-race meal. Running a load of laundry on the "holy crap you stink" setting (or as close as I could get it).

I think I've mentioned before that I come from a family where the women love to bake. Even my DH loves to bake, when he has the time. I had a laugh at church this morning when a young girl came in wearing a shirt that said "my favorite color is butter".

Ugh! Florida has it's first 2 patients who have tested positive for coronavirus. One in Manatee County, & one in Hillsborough County. That's not close to us, but of course this could be only the beginning. DH found some hand sanitizer & bought it tonight, and of course we already have masks. On the national news, the patients who've been quarantined haven't been getting fancy help at the hospitals. They're just giving them stuff like Gatorade. Maybe that'll be the next thing I buy.

Good Morning Kids! It's sunny & 66 degrees. The high today will be in the low 70's, so if we're not still getting the cold wind from the north, it will be comfortable.

Thanks to the press everyone is getting hysterical about the Corona Virus, which is basically a bad flu. Tsk, tsk!

Morning all. Temperature a bit above normal and a wee bit foggy.
Think today is the day DF will be transferred to a rehab facility.
Well time to get moving for the day.
Have a terrific Tuesday.

Good Morning Kids! Today will probably be our hottest day this week, as we may hit 80. I did buy Gatorade yesterday, and now I've heard that zinc cough drops are helpful if you get the virus. DH likes that type of cough drop anyway, so we'll probably get some of those, too.
