almost the big day... 1st surgery of 2018... in case you're keeping score this year!

-
Here we go again.. with the font fight.  Tomorrow is surgery day, I think we are ready, well as ready as we will ever be these days.  DH just informed me that the pharmacy restocked his medication and now he has to order it again... he is very frustrated.  He said it's the proplol one that you said take three times a day.. metoprolol?! That is half a pill once a day sheez... this might explain b/p's of 68/38?!  Oh boy now to figure out what he is really taking... and get that straightened out.. no wonder he can fall asleep like that or fall down the stairs or drop food for no reason!!!

OH I almost forgot to say this...I have made a decision on the salary thing.. actually my boss made the decision and everyone who knows me... knows I follow the rules to a "T"... NOT! I am going to log my time for one month and see how things go and then make my part of the decision even though he has made his mind up.

I am going to have fun tomorrow!  Of course all will be denied when confronted but hey that is half the fun of all this.  I get these kind of patients all the time!  Just didn't know I married one :) What he does not know is that he has the wrong nurse if he wants to mess up his meds...

Tonight when I get things settled I shall update this post.  Hopefully with pictures of something accomplished!!! I plan to take the couch out of the living room on the first floor.  No one ever sits down there and it really hasn't been used since my accident in 2014. At that time it was where I slept... I just didn't feel up to crawling up the stairs to get to my room lol and the elevator had not been installed. Regardless I still would have had to crawl from the elevator into the room and then try to climb onto the bed...only to have to climb off and get back downstairs for the bathroom.  Just not worth the time if you ask me.

The couch is very comfortable but unused anymore and well it just needs to go. If we didn't live so far from town donation places would pick it up but we do and they won't.  Case closed.  Bonfire time!

Well there is much to do and barely a plan so I must close and get going...

The contents of this post are from early February. I was going to delete but thought more about it and decided to share. Sorry the pic's are sideways. As I sit at the table and look across to the counter in the middle of the room some call an Island, i bask in the silence that is now. Soon the island will be cluttered with items needed to make lunches and chaos will fill the silence as the house gets moving and kids get ready for school. There's only a few minutes until everyone else starts getting up. Today is hippotherapy for the youngest. The wind is howling right now so they may cancel it if it's too cold for the old horses they don't go out. It's too cold for this old horse! For 3 days we've been able to go outside without coats or sweaters or jackets. Yesterday the storm clouds brewed like they were going to dump an ocean in the yard I ran outside and grabbed seven batts of insulation and took them to the basement to save them from the rain. By

To be or not to be... that is NOT the question!

 It is the day before Thanksgiving and our plans have drastically changed. We will not be going to my daughter's home, and we will not be having turkey with her. I did manage to find a turkey and it looked smallish to me. Turns out it was only a pound smaller than the smallest one at the commissary. We will go for the bone density test this morning, and I will drop the dog off for groomer at my daughter's this morning on the way to the density test.  It might be a ham thanksgiving this year if anything at all. I am not complaining. I don't want to clean or cook as no one in this house even eats all the stuff. That was all yesterday and like everything in my life it changes hourly. We made it to all of our appointments and with the kids in tow! We did not get to any stores, because I do not do stores with kids if I do not have to. The dog got dropped off, the bone density test was done, the equipment for the sleep study got picked up, and 5 D tanks of oxygen. We even managed

Black Friday... White Snow

 It is the day after Thanksgiving and the ground is covered. Black Friday shopping is not something I normally do, so this is not an inconvenience for me. We went to my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and a much smaller group of friends and family were there. My son was not feeling well so we took him some leftovers on our way home. Because the meal was not here, I do not have to deal with the leftovers or the post meal drama of what to do with all the leftover food. But that means no snacking foods either... it is a no-win situation. I get to make fresh food though and that is a good thing. I just tried to go out and return a medical device and the roads were very icy. I decided it was unlike Dunkin' Donuts, not worth the trip. Not to waste getting as far as the General Store I did buy the kids some soda for movie night tonight. We already have lots of popcorn and still some candy available. Now to find a good movie. the dog is being lazy Instead of a good movie we found that
