Sorry to hear about the teacher's strike, Claudia. That must be pretty difficult for everyone -- particularly the parents. Glad your Uncle accepted help, and that they were not affected too badly so far. I know how it is when you move or get new furniture. I think that is part of the reason I have not done anything about getting a sofa bed or futon for the office. Seems like I have been doing so much moving/changing things around lately that I just want to take it easy.
Sounds very cold to me, Babara. One of the ladies in my "decisions" class was talking about a bad decision she made when she retired and moved from southern California to northeastern Oregon For one thing, she hated the winter weather and snow. Also, she had radically different opinions from her neighbors, and they ended up ostracizing her. She lost money in the house sale, but she is much happier here despite the lack of four seasons, etc.
Glad your crown went well -- so did my SIL's. Apparently, he may need another, but they will wait until January when the dental insurance starts over. I am still debating about dropping or keeping my dental insurance. I know for sure that I lost money this year. The premiums have been higher than the money saved. But, I have not needed any dental work,just cleaning and x-rays. There are a couple of options -- one to get a less expensive plan from the dentist like I did last year. And, the other is to go back to my Mexican dentist or another dentist there. That will be the decision I will work on for class this week (our assignment).
It could be that DH was trying to tell me he was upset, I'm just not sure. He started talking much more -- like he was suddenly realizing what was going on, but just could not figure out how to express himself. Thank goodness, he was much better again today. The facility caregiver said that the hospice caregiver said he was so much better than Wednesday, and he was good with me. We walked around quite a bit, and I fed him lunch. He is back to sleeping more and talking a lot less. But, I think it is probably better that way. The "problem" caregiver came in to say that she realized that he did not do well with several people around and too much "assistance". I said something like he doesn't like too much noise, etc., and she said she could tell. Still don't know why they didn't call either hospice or me about the "slumping down". I may bring it up with the director either later today or next week.
DD and DGD had their hair cut this morning as well. It was quite a bit more expensive this time, so she said she may look for a less expensive salon. My SIL is picking up DGS for his Fall break from college. I forgot that Monday was a holiday. I know they will be happy to have him home for a while.
Need to pick up a few groceries now. Hope both of you sleep well.
Hugs,
Linda
