Good Morning and thanks for getting us started, Jean. Sorry you are so tired, but I hope you can rest up today to be ready for work tomorrow and Friday. I am still not sleeping very well, but I am working on it. I had the idea that I could start sleeping a bit later (closer to 6:00 than 5:30), but my internal time clock won't permit me to do so just yet.
I have looked at the product reviews, but nothing calling my name as far as the Denim & Co. show goes. Good thing since I have too many clothes to start with and have zero need to add to my collection.
Hi Annabelle -- sounds like you had a good, if expensive, shopping trip with your "grands". I have been scolded for calling them my grandchildren since my youngest is 16. The others are 18 and up, so no longer "children". Definitely makes me feel old, but..... Interesting about your brows. I have used a brow pencil for a while since mine have faded badly. Can't say that they were ever my best feature like yours were. Please feel free to post any time. We always welcome new members to this "no bash" thread.
Yesterday was another good one for me. I visited DH twice. The first time, a group of the residents were next door (in one of the other "houses") listening to a musical group. I managed to sing along with some of their songs (hopefully not loud enough to bother anyone). They were very good guitar players, and played some hymns I knew in addition to other songs that were mostly familiar. I walked DH back to his building, and he did not want to walk indoors. So, we just sat down and talked in the "great room". I went to the thrift store across the street after our visit, but no luck. Also, no luck at a re-sale store where the prices are much higher. I noticed that his sheets were in the laundry, so I decided to buy him another set which I found at a discount store that adds an extra discount for "seniors" on Monday.
After lunch, I went back to visit DH, and he was alert again -- good news. We walked around a couple of times, but he wanted to go back to his room and listen to music. As I was leaving, one of the caretakers told me that he is getting up and walking on his own sometimes, and he was able to take his night pills just with water rather than have them crushed and put into applesauce. And, he is sleeping better. She and another caretaker said that it seemed like he liked being there -- I could not ask for more.
Next it was on to the laundromat to wash our comforter -- boy, is that expensive. I managed to make it to the pool after that, and the water was great. My favorite pool buddy was there, but we were both concentrating on swimming rather than talking this time.
Anyway, I am so pleased that DH is settling in well, and I am getting a chance to do things without so much worry, etc.
Thanks to all of you for your support.
