Monday
She did not sleep well last night, and I didn’t do much better. I’m sipping my coffee and trying to get organized. I guess the best thing to do is make a bullet list.
We just are not communicating in a respectful way. We keep tripping over details that she cannot remember and have not been written down. (There’s a thawed turkey breast in the refrigerator that we do not know how long it’s been there.) We had to make some doctor appointments this morning. The difficulty was that I would be talking about the CPAP doctors, and she would respond as though I was talking about the company the provides our supplies.
Lunch was good, we had leftover tenderloin, sweet potatoes and veggies from yesterday. We both took a good long nap and we’re getting along again.
Tuesday
Slept ok, I am up in time to hear the guys on the HF radio. The band is uncooperative today and I cannot hear most of them, so I turned it off. Grocery shopping is the task of the day. We both got dressed and headed out to Wally World to go shopping.
On our way to Wally World.
We’re back, $220 poorer. They didn’t have Egland’s Best eggs and the Borden milk on the shelf had expired two days ago. The “Great Value” milk might be an adulterated product because it freezes in the refrigerator well above Borden milk. We stopped buying it and purchase Borden instead. The cool thing is that the ice can be removed and then the milk tastes better. We can store three cartons of 18 eggs and one carton of 12 eggs in our refrigerator. (We usually store 6 cartons of 12 eggs, but Wally World did not have cartons of 12 eggs for the last two weeks.)
I got my 2nd shipment of pill timers; I still received 1 of the 8 that’s intermittent.
The first shipment was a disaster, I broke one of the LCD displays and made a huge mess. I need four and it looks like I’ll have 7 working timers.
The 2nd $800 sound board arrived today along with four mic holders & some cables.
I cut the child safety rings off the timers, there was a bit of lubricant under the ring.
Watched a bible project video on 2Cor and read a little in Acts before joining her in watching Hudson & Rex on Faith & Family until we retired.
Wednesday
Well, I am up at 01:00 waiting on the next shooting while I work on the church Power Point. Went back to bed until about 5:30 and then started watching Bible project videos while sipping on my coffee. I checked in with the HAM radio guys and continue to pursue getting this power point done. I am down to 6 hours.
We’ve had a difficult day mostly because she hears different things in what I am saying. We had a same thing happen a couple days ago. I was talking about the doctor, and she was hearing me talk about the contractor providing our supplies. Today she didn’t plan out today, and she has a Telehealth appointment at 1:30. We normally go down for a nap after lunch and I didn’t see any preparations for dinner. Two hours later we’re having leftovers that are insufficient for a “Dinner” meal. It’s useless to say anything about the size of the meal, I spent two hours trying to add a starch to the flounder this morning.
The telehealth session was scheduled for 10AM this morning, so she missed her appointment with Neil Jariwala at Virtual Consult for the 2nd time.
Thursday MRI Day
We got up at 5AM and had some breakfast before heading down to Emory at 6AM. We arrived about 06:20 and waited for the imaging department to open. Check-In and the Imaging went very well, and we were out of the hospital an hour later.
When we got home, we both laid down for a good nap and woke a little after 11. The frozen turkey had a significant hole in the bag when we thawed it out. There was also a significant amount of material stuck to the package around the hole. We decided to toss it and it’s the second one we’ve tossed for this reason. Wally World may not sell a lot of them and the customers are tossing it back into the freezer. Damaging the rather thick bag they are in.
We ended up eating pork chops for lunch. There was some drama again with steaming vegetables, she only put 5 oz of water in the bottom of the pan. (She burnt the pan last time she steamed vegetables because it went dry.) I googled it, there’s a YouTube video showing exactly what to do.
I worked on my power point for most of the afternoon, I wanted to finish it by the time Jeff got home at 5. We watched Johnny Carson and then went to bed. I’ve not kicked this round of shingles, it’s still here and I only have a days worth of pills left.
Friday
It’s midnight and I am awake drying out my undercarriage.
I cut up some of the carpet in her sewing room and tossed it in the trash because it was pretty dirty and might have a bit of mold on it. The cement floor and the backing of the carpet were both clean. Most of the carpet against the walls is a little dirty. The A/C guy said it was caused by “Stacking” where the air rises up the inside of the wall. Personally, I think we’re just not reaching it with the vacuum. We’re running a MERV11 filter in the air handler, that will capture mold spores.
We had a great lunch with the Berrys at Longhorn then we came home and took a good long nap.
Setup one site of equipment to test the theory of all the connections, I did find a bad cable.
Saturday
Woke up early and loaded the van with all the stuff for the Women’s Retreat. I had three eggs, and some breakfast sausages then drove to the school. There were tons of cars in the parking lot, so we ended up in the lower/lower one. There’s no power down there so we ran off of my solar generator. I was exhausted by the time I got back home and there’s still a bunch in the air. I used sunscreen but still managed to get a sunburn on my neck.
Sunday (Church)
We are up and I am listening to my HAM radio while checking the news. Trying to make a list of things Lisa needs to take from the school for the Women’s Day Retreat.
Need to work on the living room, it’s a disaster.
Removed Norton Password manager, it was more trouble than it was worth. Wells Fargo website didn’t load correctly on both workstations tonight.
