Whats your plans for the day?

[Ghoti Ichthus]

Saw my new PCP at the VA. She's a lot like the old one, whom I really liked and could work with.

Also saw the social worker at the VA and she gave me a bunch of information and she's getting the ball rolling for Dad.

Now, at the indoor strip mall while Dad walks with his Rollator.

Later, have to go to the medical equipment store(s) for something Dad needs. Not sure if I'm going to go to WF and make a home-cooked dinner, or get take-out I still have to get some







JESUS!!!

We got our plans done for the day. We both had a prescription to pick up at Walmart, got gas for the car and for the grass. Also, went to Save-A-Lot to pick up some items. Glad to be home keeping cool it is hot outside.

Finishing up my work day. Ran out at lunch and picked up goodies for hubby's birthday on Wednesday.

Instead of waiting for Dad's doctor to call [sigh]

I won't be cooking tonight

My wife and her friend visiting from NC drove an hour to the coast for the day. Im just chilling with my dog. Earlier, I did go to Les Schwab, Home Depot, and a parts store, but this afternoon is lazy time.

We decided to the front and back yard so that is finished.

Now sitting in the ER, having been sent here by Dad's doc. Been here over an hour already. Lots of sick people and they aren't separating sick from non-sick today like they usually do

My dog was outside, so I opened a small roll of ritz crackers. He loves them, but he is getting a little porky, so off limits. He came inside as I was walking in the living room, and I had a mouth full of crackers. So what do I do? I stop chewing as I walk by him so he wont know Im eating. Is that wrong? Perhaps I need Ghoti to train him, and I might as well take a few lessons myself

What are they checking on for your dad?

Your dog knew. He could hear you chewing and smell the crackers before you stopped and still smell them after you stopped

My dog has been trained not to beg, stare, whine, etc. when people are eating. She isn't allowed and doesn't go anywhere near anyone or the table when anyone is eating, drinking, doing paperwork, doing a jigsaw puzzle, etc. It's easy to train, especially if done while the dog is still a small puppy and can't stand and help him or herself to whatever's on the table, counter, etc. It's a good thing to train soon after the dog learns NO (or phooey/phui, bad, etc.).

Wow! I have never trained dogs we owned, and its probably more accurate to say they trained us.

Not much going on around here. Had my daughter's birthday party but I should have followed up with the invitations because several of the guests did not show. It was still a nice time but I feel badly that my kids don't get bigger turnouts for their parties. More cupcakes for us afterwards. Yum.

I'll probably be baking buns this week so I'm going to have to set up all of our room fans in the kitchen so I don't over-heat. We've had a few pop-up showers recently but most of the forecasted storms end up blowing past us and the heat and humidity continue. I also need to go through the kids' homeschool books for the year and decide what we're keeping for their portfolios, what will go to the scrap pile for future drawings and stories and what will go into the burn pile.

I also started the process to re-seal the extra tank I have in my closet. The seal on my tank I'm using is getting really iffy so I need to make sure my back-up is a true back-up. I know it currently doesn't hold water. Once I started scraping out the old seal I could see why: there was no seal at all long two of the edges on the bottom. Yeesh. I've re-sealed one tank successfully already so I know I can do it. It's just tedious.

I resemble that remark.

I ran and had breakfast at McDonalds. Don't have plans for the day. There's some chores I would like to put behind me. Don't know if this will be the day I get to any of them or not.

Seems like your adjusting well to living in a home not requiring much maintenance as opposed to homesteading in the middle of nowhere, with a list of chores that never ends. Welcome to my world where I have chores, but not always a necessity to get them all done if I dont fell like it that day…

Yeah, I could put them off until next year, nothing serious or really important. It's nice not having 4 or 5 hours of chores facing me nearly every day. That competed over much with the time I could spend on RF.

Hectic day at the office. The other admin is on leave so I had to manage all the urgent requests. I had to do all that in the afternoon as I am in our client's office in the morning. On top of that I had to look for consultants in Saudi Arabia to help us with setting up a business there. I love being busy and it's much better than when I don't have much workload because you never know when you'll be on the chopping block.

I worry if I'm not busy at work

I did some vacuuming, will do the white laundry did the colors the other day. Mainly relaxing keeping cool. We had a busy day yesterday doing errands, and the front and back yard. The rain we had really made it grow.
