I slept much better last night having a CPAP even if it’s my spare. I was too tired to even go out to eat so we had cereal and oatmeal for dinner. (We did have a huge lunch.)
The bathrooms and their bedroom are fairly clear of clutter and clean. The sewing room is pretty cluttered, but would not take a whole lot of effort to support someone sleeping here.
My boss gave me the option of staying a few extra days so it’s time to organize our last days here. I don’t have the expertise to change the valve in the swamp cooler or repair the air conditioner on the toy hauler. I have not been given permission to fix Dad’s wireless so we are using my T-Mobile hotspot that costs about $40/Month for Internet. (He says the wireless password is on his password sheets, I couldn’t get it to work the first few days I was here.) I tried logging on to his router, but the router refused the connection. (It says it is not finished setup. It requires a hard reset on the unit and start the setup process from the beginning.) He has an Amazon Echo, but without access to the wireless, I can’t work on that either.
When I got to this stage with my Mother, I setup cameras on the outside areas of my Mom’s farm with remote access from Atlanta to manage the cameras and recordings. It allowed us to see if they are home (Cars in the driveway) and to look for them if they didn’t answer the phone for an extended time.
There are a few eggs left and I’ve got over half a box of instant oatmeal. K is running low on Soy milk and strawberry mini wheats so we’ll have to make a trip to the store by Monday. We cleaned the coffee pot as best we could when we got here and have been making Dominican coffee every day using Dad’s machine.
I am thinking I can make some headway on the front area of the garage where the bed is. I can clean out the fridge in the garage of all the expired stuff in an hour or less. I did fill his tank sprayer with fluid to kill off the grass, but not had the time to drag it across his yard. I started trying to clear out some space in the garage pull-out couch, but like everywhere else, it is a pile of stuff with no home.
The hardest part when I cleared my mom’s farm is sorting things. What stuff is needed to maintain the property. What stuff does she not want to let go of and we can find space to keep. What on this property is still valuable enough to try and sell for the estate. Who is going to sell it? What is the condition? What’s it worth, does it run/work, can it be safely used/driven?
With my mom, rust destroyed most of what she was trying to save. Here in Pahrump things last a lot longer in storage. It still would take months to sell this stuff on EBAY.
The well died for the second day in a row this morning, we called the “Well Guy” this afternoon and he found insects (Assumed ants) in between the contacts of the pressure switch. He charged $65 for the trip and we’re in good shape.
We brought P home from the hospital and went to Wally World on the way back to get some milk. We also stopped and replenished the gas before returning home.
P said that they performed the test on F’s Aorta this morning. They did not put in the “Med Port” because they successfully got an IV in his arm.
F was eating when we got to the Hospital this morning, he had a feast of food on the tray.
P was sitting on the scooter I brought her yesterday because they took her big lounge chair for F to sit on after the therapist had F walk out to the hallway and back. They are very concerned that he’s going to fall while he is in the hospital.
We went to the Cafeteria for lunch again today, it suits us. Good food and company!
