How hot and humid is it today. When I got up this morning I stepped on the scale and was 171 lbs. At 8am I went outside to mow some of the yard and spread some mulch. I quit working at noon and came in for a shower. I stepped on the scale again and weighed 168 lbs. I'd best drink some liquids today and get re-hydrated. I'm sure that wasn't 3 lbs of fat I lost this morning.
52 years ago today, Janet and I became Mr. & Mrs. I still remember a couple of the basic ground rules she laid out. 1. I don't get up and make you breakfast. 2. I don't iron shirts. There might have been more but these were at the top of the list.
A few ground rules go a loooong way. The Hubs still has to mine every once in a while, I guess he wants to make sure they haven’t changed Spoiler alert…THEY HAVEN’T
Doesn’t mean I care any less, just means I need to get on here more often!
Hey everyone. I imagine y'all know I have been rather busy. I cannot seem to catch up on the sleep I lost in the hospital. I have had to give dad an antibiotic every six hours and thank goodness the last one was last night. He cannot help getting up so many times but it takes me so long to go to sleep that by the time I get almost there, he is needing me.
His back is really bothering me. I will be glad when Tuesday gets here because he has an appointment with his primary doctor.
His back might be in bad shape but he had me get him on the mower today and he mowed half the yard. He would not let me use his mower or borrow my aunts so I push mowed for 8 miles today. I would have finished the yard after the sun went down some but it was nice seeing him want to do something and I really think it may have helped him mentally.
Yesterday morning he was convinced it was 10 o'clock at night when it was morning. I showed him his clock that displays morning and evening. I opened the drapes to show him the sun and he still could not understand. He started getting angry and telling me I was too stupid to understand. I was almost in tears. Not because he was upset with me but because he was so confused. It is so scary. Later on, he was fine.
I cannot believe it is July 1st and the year is half over. Oh my gosh, it is going to be Christmas before I know it. No wonder I am getting old. Time is going by too fast.
I will check back in as things slow down. You know I have been busy when I'm still reading the book I started before dad went to the hospital a week ago. Sheesh!
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
It will be hotter and more crowded, but at least we’ll get to go. Hubs is beyond bored and ready to get out of the house for a while, so he was thrilled. He won’t need full range of motion for three days of lounging around, so it should be all good. The property owner was so nice, and didn’t even charge us the higher “summer” rate for the new dates! She has fantastic reviews and I can see why. Congrats on your anniversary!
Can't imagine getting a cat to use an inhaler.... maybe add some catnip flavor? 
Hola ..
Surprise pop-up rain shower this AM, enough to cool things down and water that grass ..
I've decided it's way past time to either have a 2 weekend yard sale (not until temps begin to lower) and / or just donate the excess stuff .. so, I started the process of culling thru yesterday ..
I'm not a hoarder (he says), but I am a 'collector' (he thinks it sounds better) .. I ran across a couple oscilloscopes, a frequency generator and a few other Heath Kit items I built back in the Revolutionary War days ..
Nobody here probably knows or remembers Heath Kit .. these were not children's electronic kits .. you really had to put the time and effort into them .. I remember with the oscilloscopes, I had to send them back to Heath Kit when done in order to get them calibrated ..
Amazingly, they are still around today ..
