Good Evening and thanks for getting us started, Fressa. Glad your prescription wasn't any more expensive. As usual, I made up my grocery list after looking at the specials (digital coupons, etc.), and found the list was quite small. Of course, I had done a Walmart pick-up yesterday, but the stores just didn't have many specials. Like you, i stocked up on frozen vegetables and fruit since the fresh is just too pricey. I splurged on asparagus a couple of weeks ago, but not today -- just carrots, tomatoes, bananas, and other boring stuff.
I hope the hot water heater estimate isn't too high, but I understand that prices have really gone through the roof on them. Good luck on the generator estimate.
Glad you are better, Bernie. I have used two of my at home COVID tests -- both negative. I think the weather caused my sneezing and headaches.
I got some really good news, actually two pieces of good news. My friend and her husbands children really liked the long term care place they visited, and they plan to move her husband there tomorrow. She said it is like a luxury hotel. She feels lucky, but realizes that the facility may not feel so lucky dealing with him. But, they are professionals. Fingers crossed it works out for them.
I heard from Barbara yesterday. She had an infusion, and was dealing with dizziness and other symptoms (worse than normal). The respite care place where her DH stayed was horrible (didn't monitor him well, didn't medicate properly, etc.) But, the good news is that they have identified a group home in the area -- only 15 minutes away. A hospice nurse that he had seen is at the facility, and he really liked her. Plus his long term care insurance will pay for his stay. I am unclear when he will be going there, but it sounds like a very good solution.
No word from Jean today, but I hope her tests went well -- I think she was having the ECHO today and getting a monitor.
After grocery shopping this morning, I stopped by the senior lunch program to drop off the banana breads. I attempted to give one to the adult day care, but they are not allowed to have any homemade food at this time, so I left it for the people in the office. Then, I went to a "newcomers" lunch, and happened to sit next to a lady who was celebrating her birthday. We had talked before, and she is very nice. Anyway, I asked if she and her DH liked banana bread, and when she said yes, I brought her the fourth loaf. What luck.
Then, I went to the hospice office, and picked up and delivered the supplies. Came home and assembled the mailings. By the time I finished, the office was closed as was the Post Office, so I'll go tomorrow morning. The good news there is that the volunteer coordinator didn't make any mistakes with the letters this week -- finally.
Waves to all of our posters and readers. Hope everyone sleeps well.
Hugs,
Linda
