Hello to all who post and read ❤️

Grandson was here yesterday instead of Wednesday and will be back again tomorrow.

My neighbor swept up all the acorns in our driveway. I can sweep leaves and all but I can no longer get down to pick up. I'll miss the little squirrel though. He was always by the tree eating away. Too cute. Just the one even though there are others scampering around.🙂

DH is, well, just DH. We can sit in the enclosed courtyard outside too with the extreme heat over. I just have to really hold it together when leaving.
I met a CNA I have not seen before and he asked "Is this the famous (my name) he ( meaning DH)! always says "My wife will be here today."

Life is just so different now as many know. 🥺


Anyway the thyroid test was fine. Staying on the same dosage.
DS battling an infection again😞.

Overall just taking it one step at a time. It's just very quiet. I miss his playing guitar especially with grandson.

Be well.🙏💐❤️

Fur baby update:

All went well. They had to extract 3 teeth - there was some infection in his gums. He has sutures where they removed the teeth. They did blood work and the lab results for the BUN (to check kidney function) was elevated 1 point over normal. She said it may be due to stress or him being dehydrated. She said the other test (creatine) that also tests the kidney function was fine. He needs to come back in 2 weeks for a follow-up for the teeth and she said they'll do a blood test again then too. The house was so empty while he was gone. So nice to have him back home with me.

Walked fur baby 3.5 miles today.

It's warm outside - but we had a little rain and it's cloudy:     Since our warm days will be coming to an end soon I thought I do a little work in the garage today.  I'm going to put some conditioner on the leather seats of one of the cars. 

Feeling a little blah today - I think because it's so cloudy.  I'm one of those people that needs the sun to keep me motivated.  I "think" they said the sun will come out later today - hope so!

Have a good Saturday!

Nothing much today. It's pouring down rain. I was watching the news earlier and they said we were going to have a quick break so I jumped up, hit the shower and straight to the grocery store to pick up a few items. 

The rain has started back up so I am glad that I was able to get the grocery shopping completed, before it started back up. I have paid a few bills, and I am making myself some breakfast. The rest of the day will be spent curled up in my chair watching t.v. 

Enjoy your Saturday!

After walking and getting my planters ready for the holidays, I planned my menus for December. Keeping things simple. I'll bake two types of cookies, and have pre-ordered a candy box and cheesecake from a neighbor who bakes and delivers them. My main meals will be a turkey dinner, and a stuffed tenderloin. I see so many wonderful appetizer recipes, so snacks will be what we have many nights.

my daughter is on her way to pick me up to drive down to Arlington for a short visit with Jerry today.

Walked fur baby 3.8 miles today.

Need to get out:  It's been a few days since I left the house and I think I need to do so today. Yesterday I kept myself busy here at home, but the day still seemed so long.

I'll go to Menards and buy some more leaf bags.  I think I have enough for this year, but not sure.  My lawn guy does majority of the clean up, but I still go out there and do the patio areas, underneath bushes, leaves that pile up along the fence, etc.

Lunch:   While I'm out I'll treat myself to lunch at Portillos.

Read Sunday Newspaper.

Have a good Sunday!

Hello to all who post and read ❤️

Still above average temps but some much needed rain forecasted for next week. Yet with this being the time for La Nina to arrive we will have to see if we stay warm and dry.

Waiting for one of the brain health centers to open next month. Volunteers will be needed for research and for helping out with participants. Since DH is in a facility I will have to find out how he could qualify. I will see how I can be a volunteer to assist others.

Finally some new hope.👍🙏
Hope for everyone dealing with brain disorders.
