I was so looking forward to my chiropractic appt today after falling a week ago last Sunday at Mom's, I still have bruises. Unfortunately they called and he is sick so it was postponed a week. I did ask to be put on the cancellation list.

Happy Birthday TheOtherMe! You don't mind a little chocolate before bed, right? I've thrown in some fruit so it's healthy...

It is much too early for me to be awake today. In fact this is much too early for me to be awake on any day! I really don't like mornings. I never have. And even though I have things to do and an electrician coming, I can't motivate myself to get up and get started. Even though it's 9:30. I'd rather start in the evening and stay awake until 3AM. My brain and body aren't functional at this time of day. Especially when there's no one and nothing else to get me going. UGH.

It is cloudy & gloomy here, although the sun did peek out earlier today. I've got a lot to still get done before dinner, so I'd better get back to it...

Nice weather here, today. Currently 67° and sunny.
I got up, started laundry, showered, dressed. Maintenance showed up and turned all the power to my apt off, so laundry needs to be restarted.
Hopefully, I'll get unpacked and return the suitcase I borrowed. Then get sheets changed and bed made, today. But doubtful. I also need groceries.
Glad my power etc is all back on again.
I hope your day is going well.

I didn't sleep at all, at night. It's going to be a long day.

I slept long and hard, last night. Thanks. Tonight, DD2s family has invited me to go with them to see a display of Halloween lights and then sleep over, since I will be going to their house in the morning, to watch the girls tomorrow anyway. This is a lot of packing up and staying away from home, in a short amount of time, for me. But I will survive and I miss the girls. Time for me to shower and pack. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend, whatever you decide to do.

Good Evening Kids! I normally post BEFORE I leave for a road trip, but this morning was so crazy that I didn't have any time. So, greetings from Kentucky! There is less road construction now than we would normally deal with during the Summer, but still enough of it to be annoying.

Going to my hotel in Iowa City was a nightmare because of construction. The exit to my hotel is being reconstructed. It is the one that goes to all of the athletic facilities and has really built up since the last time I was there--2 years ago.
Once you finally get off the long line of cars to get on to the street, it was fine. Definitely slowed me down every time I went anywhere.
I don't know the area well enough to take back roads.

I hate when that happens. Are you back home now?

And thus ends the longest week, it seems. DH was back in the hospital. The GI surgeon who took care of him knows where to find the issue, just not what it is exactly.
One colonoscopy, coming up. The pre-procedure appointment is next Friday.

So sorry Nancy. Wishing you & DH the very best. Well Kids, the best thing I can say about today is that I survived. The weather did NOT cooperate, the traffic did not cooperate, and we learned the hard way that the police in neither Kentucky nor South Carolina know how to redirect traffic to keep it moving after an accident. We're late getting to the hotel. But, frankly I'm very thankful to have survived a very challenging day. I need sleep. Checkout is late at this hotel tomorrow, so I just might take advantage of it. Tomorrow I plan to visit the beach. The weather probably feels chilly right now to the locals, but it feels great to me.

Went to DD2s at 6:15 PM on Thursday. Slept over. DD2 had a dr appt this morning. She got home, then left again, to go pick up DGD1 from school. Shortly after getting home, she, her DH and his sister left to go have lunch and have a work meeting. A few hours later, they got home and changed, to go some other work function. Said they wanted to be home and in bed by 8:30. So I agreed to stay with the girls. They got home at 10PM. I'm finally home and exhausted. Thank goodness the girls were good today, other than the 5yr old has been sulking, when she doesn't get her way, lately. That doesn't go over real well, with me. The 3 yr old wanted me to sleep over tonight, with her. But I needed to come home and have some quiet me time, for awhile. I have so much that needs to be done, for me and at my place. No to mention, I need a few days of sleep.

busymom hoping today is a better day for your vacation Today is going to be a long busy day. DD and family are coming over and we are going to haul and spread the gravel I got, which means that DSIL will also put together the cart I got to haul behind my lawnmower. DD then mentioned ending the evening with football. Since I have cable TV DSIL likes to come over and watch sports. Not sure who he wants to watch play this evening since the Beavers have a bye week this week. I need to get dressed and get to the store early this morning so I will be ready when they show up. Lunch will be grilled cheese sandwiches and dinner will be Tamale pie.

Good Saturday, my weekend warriors! What happens to DH next depends on the colonoscopy. If he wants to do surgery, treat the issue, etc., it is his call. If it can be managed until the end, also his call. Either way, I won't let him suffer in pain, starve or be away from home. Not being cold about this; he has multiple health issues and is basically confined to home. He can choose to continue this way or not. I will not babysit, but of course, I will caretake, which I do all the time now. And it's no fun, I can tell you. But many of you already know this from experience. I did swim this morning, despite the 67 degree "chill" in the air. Did the Walmart and bank stop. Doing laundry now, and baked a banana/blueberry loaf for tomorrow.

The caretaking of my dad was not done at my houses. It was at his place and getting him to places he needed to be.
It's hard. No it's not fun and when I get to that place in my life, I know I do not want to continue.
