steps about 4000
So, just now I called at 4:55 and she is 2 miles away. I was afraid she had an accident or decided not to come.
Today, we went to my new hairdresser. I like her. She did not cut it exactly how I want it, but she did not destroy it. Plus, it looks neater and less straggly. I will go back in a month so we can fix it more like I prefer. She charged $20 and I gave her $30. She tried to give me change.
It was maybe 25F out and I wore sandals. It was not too bad. Plus, it is not far to go. I doubt I will ever have to cancel because of weather. I explained to her about my need for help. She said she would ask around. I gave up on the cleaner the doctor recommended. If she cannot answer the phone or return calls where I explain what I want, I suppose she does not want to work or would not show up.
We have seat warmers in the car seats, so that helped to not be so frigid, plus I took a throw that Tommy used while I was getting my hair cut. And, there were two more throws in the car. Tommy does not know if he has gloves. I have not looked for mine. That is on my to-do list--find gloves.
Last night in bed I was very warm. I had two wool blankets and a bedspread over me. I used a throw over top of my head and a throw bunched up under the flannel sheet to keep air out. Tommy said he was not hot or cold in his chair. Tonight will be down to 3F, so hope we are warm without turning up the heat.
Since Tommy gave me gift cards for Barnes and Nobles, I decided to make a list of books I want. I know I can order online, but when I did that, my book had no name on the spine. So, I have bought nothing there in three years. So far, my list has: Little, Brown Handbook; The Handmaid's Tale; and nothing else.
We had pork medallions with vegetables and sauce. Tommy did not care for the dinner.
Since it is going to be 3F, I need to tend to half bath.
What is the temp at your house tonight?
6 degrees here the last time I checked. I’m snug in bed with covers and my electric blanket. 😂
ReplyDeleteBelinda,
DeleteBeing in bed all warm is the way we all should be at that temp.
windchill had us at neagtive 20... this weekend to get up to 30 above. Will feel like heat wave.
ReplyDeleteChef,
DeleteThankfully, there was no wind. This weekend we will get mid 50s. This is our regular temp for this time of year.
You are colder than me! 14 at my house last night.
ReplyDeleteIt felt sooo cold1
DeleteI am getting very annoyed at your OT. What the heck! With our home health, at the initial appointment we had to go over, and then sign a form saying we understand the policies. One of those policies dictated that if they were to be more than ten minutes late, they were to call. If the cause of the delay prevented them from phoning immediately, (ie: overseeing emergency medical transport on previous patient) they were to call as soon as they were able. If they missed fulfilling an appointment for any reason he was to be offered the next available session. They ran it (mostly) like a tight ship. A couple of times one or the other (OT or speech therapist) would be passing each other at the door. Not ideal as a “therapy break” between appointments is recommended, but DH actually preferred it that way,. To accommodate this, the team would, on days he had two appointments, try to schedule them as close as possible while still allowing the recommended break. The downside of this tight ship, if you want to call it that, is that they could discharge a patient if they were not willing to participate in care. The reasons for that included repeated cancellation or rescheduling. Fortunately, his therapy and all doctor’s appointments were available to the team at the click of a computer.
ReplyDeleteHome visits are stressful in and of themselves if you ask me. You don’t need the added of stress of wondering if they will actually show!
Meg,
DeleteI don't recall any such document unless the one still here in my folder.
When I called her to see when she was coming, she said she was two miles from here yet it took 27 minutes to get here. Annoying.
It was minus 12 degrees when I arrived at work this morning. Brrrrrr. I am perpetually cold, and am grateful my car has seat warmers and can be started remotely.

Breenlantern,
DeleteThat is miserably cold! I wish ours started remotely! The seat warmers are delightful, aren't they.
