Good Afternoon/Evening! R is something else, Claudia. I hope he is able to handle all his planned activities. Also hope you were able to figure out the remotes. The stories some of the ladies tell in my caregivers group about their husbands and things like remotes really leave me shaking my head. Some of these guys were engineers and/or very handy guys, but they just can't remember how to do things and get extremely frustrated. Hope you and your furbabies are doing okay.
What a shame about the rental car, Barbara. Will you be using the same rental car the whole time you are there? One time when we were out here for a month, DH was in an accident with the rental car. Things got pretty complicated with the insurance as I remember. The credit card was supposed to cover it, but the car rental was too long as I remember it.
That was a cute picture of Syd on FB.
It is pretty hot here, but I managed to get my walk in okay, and then go to "strong bones". When I got home, I got a call from the funeral home that DH's ashes and death certificates were ready. I called the handyman, and he was having trouble with the truck he borrowed, so we changed the screen door installation to Wednesday. Then I figured out Uber and took my first drive. It was not inexpensive, but a very pleasant experience. The driver was an older guy (not as old as me, but....) who moved here to be near his parents. His Dad passed away at the end of May, so now he likes being close to his Mom. He said his wife (from southern CA) loves the beach, so he tries to get her back there or to a beach in Mexico about once a month.
Since I was such a novice, he figured out how he could drive me to the funeral home and back, and he just waited outside when I picked up DH ashes and death certificates. It went very fast, and I decided that Uber or Lyft is the way to go under certain circumstances.
DGD has been offered a new part-time job, and she is thrilled. She will be working at a cheese shop run by a three women (Mom/Daughter/Grandmother), and they will provide training. Hope it works out well for her. I asked, and she does like cheese. LOL
Meanwhile, youngest DGS is off to a great start with his computer teacher, and the course he is taking may enable him to be prepared for another certification once he takes the test. I'm particularly pleased that the professor seems to be so supportive of him, and DGS is so into computer networking. Meanwhile, Army DGS got information that he will be getting quite a bit of money toward the second half of the semester (quarter, I guess), and he is planning on paying it himself. Of course, I'm willing, but I think it will make him feel good to pay it himself, if possible.
I was thinking about going to the pool, but it is looking pretty cloudy, so I may just stay at home. I made yet another banana bread which I'll take to the senior lunch program tomorrow.
Hope both of you sleep well.
Hugs,
Linda
