My life….....
Whoa - this space looks familiar…....... a totally blank page…..........what to fill it with…............
Been busy getting my father settled from a rehab hospital (he needed to relearn balance and walking, etc) to an assisted living apartment which he seems to be ok with and dealing with two kids home from college and keeping me busy to trying to get some sort of order or schedule to my life. The dogs are currently living at a kennel because we haven’t been here that much and with all the running, the holidays, the repair people that are coming it is just saner to leave them somewhere where they are getting exercised, attention and food on a schedule than having them here and having them mostly in their crate because we are just not here that much. Anybody want two cute dogs?
I can bet that I have logged over 100 miles of driving today and if I think real hard I bet I can find something/somewhere that I needed to be or to get today.
The oldest one leaves for college in the early morning; a long drive to get back to her school in NY…............ah, miss her already.
Today the electrician was here on his own today (with his helper) to install a new panel (making it bigger), some more outlets, a few switches and at long last a beautiful, wrought iron pole light for outside the front door to illuminate the porch and the driveway. Wait a minute! Did I type wrought iron pole?? Well, that is what we wanted - it is not what we got. Right now we are sporting a four by four with two flood lights screwed to it on the side farthest from the driveway which is illuminating the whole front of our house. Can you say major tacky?? I am so going to holler at that man. He thinks that I am such a sweet person; ha, don’t mess with this one.
Had fun at Meijer (while the electrician turned my front yard into something out of the Beverly HillBillies) seems that the store has a whole boatload of stuff on clearance. Walked in there for dog food and walked out of there owning a steam cleaner, kitchen stuff for the oldest, steam cleaner solution and a magazine. Sweet hubby liked that trip so much he wanted to see what the other Meijer had; so when the girls went to the hairdresser we dropped him off at the other Meijer. Now we own a George Formin grill (Saved over $70 off original price), got a pasta pot for the oldest and boot socks. Girls want to keep sweet hubby out of stores - he has been dubbed the shop-aholic…... at least it isn’t me…....yet.
Get a day off from doing normal errands, caregiver duties and doctor appointments and you just read above how we can get into trouble.
Keep ya posted.
