Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's bright and clear already, and will get to low 70s. This will be a gloriously lovely day, I must find time to be out in it!
Yesterday: It was a busy, but ultimately productive day. Early in the morning the visiting nurse came by - mostly only to do yet another stack of paperwork. She'll actually only stop by once or twice a week; but someone from PT will be coming (of course, we have no idea when!). After she left, I went out long enough to pick up my friend and pick up some take-out breakfasts (well, "brunch" for us and a snack for DH). It was so nice out once the clouds cleared, so we spent a good bit of time in the yard .. a lot of planning and dreaming about gardens and patios and such. We also spent some "qualify time" getting a lot of Christmas stuff boxed up, listed, and taken upstairs. And, new smoke detectors are installed! After taking her home, I still managed to fix a nice dinner before sitting down to watch AI! Yay Scotty! :)
Today: It's a dialysis day, and we're still working on figuring out a schedule that works. Because of odd timing (approximately 11:30 to 4:00), it's hard to plan regular meals (which are needed because of meds). I'm sure we'll come up with a routine that works eventually; and hopefully very soon we'll get "settled" enough for me to go back to work a bit. If they'll still have me! LOL! For today, I have an appointment, and also will try to get a few chores done at home while DH's in town.
Today is "Absolutely Incredible Kid Day" ... "Camp Fire USA/Founder's Day" ... "Evacuation Day" ... "St. Patrick's Day" ... "Ta'Anit Ester (Fast of Esther - Jewish)" ... "National Day (Ireland)".
