Sometimes, I think going to bed early is useless. I woke at 5 am and had no nap because I was busy. I will never wake Tommy before 11 am if he is sleeping late. So, I turned on TV and he woke up and ate.
I wanted to get the ads from three stores. That went off well. And, straightened out the mess of buying wrong thing by returning it and then rebuying it. Publix was a madhouse again today. Since I had been up since 5 am, I was a mess.
When we got home, Tommy ate the leftover lasagna and I ate a meal ready to cook that had a chicken breast and asparagus. It was delicious. But, before it was cooked, it was 3 pm. This was not the plan.
Pt was coming between 3:30 and 4 pm, I barely finished eating. I spent an hour exercising. When she left, it was too late to make phone calls I needed to make.
We got 6 huge bscb, potatoes and 2 lbs. carrots into a turkey cooking bag. Then, I had three bscb for the crockpot. Unfortunately, I left onions and celery out of the bag, so it went into the crockpot. I went to bed for two-hour nap.
When Tommy woke me, we then ate a tiny dinner at 8:30. I used my machine for a walk. Now, I am waiting for my lymphedema therapy.
So, that was my day whether you wanted to hear it or not,,,,lol. It seems like all day we have been listening to CA fire news or Alabama snow news.
I was going to wait until Tommy noticed the CF Diet Pepsi. He never did, so I asked him if he put any CF in the refrigerator. He assured me I had not bought CF. He will drink them since he did not object at all. Things, change, must be mentioned over and over until he thinks it was his idea.
Tonight, when I was pulling a gown over my head, he was shocked by a bruise. It is very dark right now, just below my armpit, about six inches by 2 inches. It does not have any pain at all. I have no other bruise from the fall. I pulled my nightgown up so he could check for other bruises. There are none.
The cleaner to be is still not reachable! This has been a tiring day.
I am so happy Tommy is willing to give up some of the caffeine he consumes every day.
He yelled about going to a cardiologist, but is now okay with it, so tomorrow, I will make him an appointment with my cardiologist. Next for him will be a doctor for his osteoarthritis. He says there is nothing except surgery and he is not doing that. It is getting worse, so I think he is changing his mind since he no longer yells.
Do you have anyone you have to cajole or talk about a health problem until that person sees the light?
Is everyone ready for bad weather?
We are as ready as can be for bad weather. I switched a Dr appointment from Friday to Thursday so we won’t have to go out on Friday. Hopefully we will all be OK. The fires in California are devastating. My heart goes out to them. ❤️🩹 💔
ReplyDeleteBelinda,
DeleteThe ot was asking nosy type questions about our heating and eating situation. NO, we don't have alternate heat source! But, that is only because Tommy thinks nothing will ever happen. But, we have plenty of blankets and sense enough to ask for help...not a good plan.
The fire is tragic. So much history lost, so many homes. I do hope it will all be okay for them in terms of stopping the fire and no more lives lost.
I don't think those are nosy questions. She cares that you are both going to be OK during the cold.
DeleteMy first appointment with my new primary care physician was two weeks to the day after hubby's passing. When she asked if I was married, I broke down. I've seen her three times since (we're working on blood pressure medicine levels) and each time she has asked how I am doing and whether or not I have people to talk to. That's not nosy, she wants to make sure I'm OK.
I do consider those interfering with our life. They seem like the sociologists questions with
DeleteFord. Fema people did not do one thing to improve my life after tornado damage, yet they asked questions about things like did I have two exits to my home. They walked away without any benefit to me. I was told my family could fix my house.
Your doctor is different.
I so hope you can get in touch with a reliable cleaner. Hubby always had someone come and clean the house once every two weeks, because he didn't want me to have to do it since I still work. Since his passing, I have kept having her come. It's a comfort right now, knowing all the things I need to do. This is at least one thing I don't have to worry about right now.
ReplyDeleteAfter his passing, I did cut cable television, though. I have not watched much, if any, news in the last eight weeks and I feel I am the better for it. I see updates in my email of certain things, and big things end up being shared on Facebook. Come to think of it, the savings in cable almost entirely covers the cost of the cleaner. I guess that's a good thing.
We're expected to get 'several inches' of snow tomorrow here in south central Kentucky. As in Alabama, we are not prepared for snow, so if that is the case, the state will essentially shut down. As long as I do not lose power, I am prepared.
Alice,
DeleteHaving a cleaner is great. If cable pays for it, that makes it a deal.
I like watching the news and so does Tommy, so it will always stay.
The electricity is what I worry about if ice brings down lines. I want a generator. If we lose electricity that will cause Tommy to buy one. We would go to a motel if one had electricity and we could get there. That is always the plan in the summer. lol
