I Have Bananas!

 No editing!

We did get out today to do favors. Those involved picking up food for people who cannot. One woman had a stroke last year and cannot drive to get her box. Another is a young family with two children. Tommy is in pain. I almost fell backward down the ramp. That was scary. Falling would be bad, but falling on the ramp with sharp ridges would be excruciating. 

The nurse was to come at 11 am. Tommy did as I told him and woke me at 10 am. He did not know I had slept little and that was in my chair.   Thankfully, I did not keep him up with violent coughing and this continual sneezing. 

She was supposed to come at 11 am

called at 11:15 , said she was running late and would be here at 11:30.

She arrived 11:45.

She said she would only take 30 minutes. She took over an hour. We were pressed for time to do what we needed to do which we told her about. 

Her attitude when she arrived was very rough. I asked Tommy just now how he would describe her attitude when she arrived. "Rough,"

I could barely talk. She acted like she was going to find what I was doing 'wrong.'  For instance, she asked my allergies and then meds I took. I am allergic to aspirin. When I said I take one baby aspirin every day, the way she said," I thought you were allergic to aspirin?" sounded like I was deliberately trying to make myself ill or something. I had to explain to her that I told the cardiologist I was allergic and he explained that he had to consider what was best for me--not taking the aspirin or taking the aspirin to protect my heart. She lost her suspicious look and said, "Ooooh." She should know these things!!!

So, I have home nursing and a physical therapist. Between the two of them, they come three times a week, I think. The physical therapist has a Phd. hmmmm There was talk of him wanting me to exercise!

Fifteen days to Christmas. There is still Halloween and Thanksgiving stuff out and no Christmas. Tomorrow, new cleaner comes. She has an appointment, so will leave here and return. I do appreciate that. If it is not too damp and cool, she will put together three reindeers and nail them to the yard. 

We stopped by Publix and bought a few things--half gallon of milk for me, 2 lbs of carrots, Oui, 2 bananas, candy. I had sent Tommy in because there was no cart available. When a cart became available, I went in too. He had chosen the bananas, so I did not get more. Two will last me four days, so enough for a while. The candy is Russell Stover, the boxes that are bogo. There is a nice and helpful Amazon man, so he gets one. There will be other people who need a gift. 

Tommy is eating a pizza, frozen one from store. I ate a Black Forest ham sandwich with lettuce. 

We will have fruit and one piece of chocolate between ELF and America's Funniest Videos. 

It is 65F at 7 pm in December.

It is not at all like Christmas.

Well, in my head and heart it like Christmas, just the weather and decorations in and out my house are not like Christmas.

By the way, I am strongly considering contracting out this bathroom myself. I know guys! I can ask advice or let one contract it. Why would anyone pay $30K to have a shower installed? Then, I have to find people to do the rest?

Think I can find people to do this whole bathroom for less than $30K?

Anyone have snow yet?
