Good morning, Logics, good morning, Floridacat, good morning everyone.
Logics, I have been doing some coloring - DD got me some nice adult coloring books for Christmas last year or the year before. Are you in a coloring group?
Florida, I love begonias - red ones, pink ones, you name it, they are so pretty.
It is the prettiest day here - cold - 39 degrees - but sunny and calm. It is nice to sit here at the window in the great room and watch the traffic (lighter on Sundays) and wonder where everyone is heading to/from - work? church? holiday shopping? breakfast with a friend?
I got another halfway decent sleep last night - that is 3 in a row - so thankful. We woke up around 6:40 and the dogs let me lay in bed till 7:00. Hope went out, fed the dogs, Hope went out again, fed the cats, Hope went out AGAIN, Lucy went out - and now the dogs are having their first nap of the day.
I need to get things in order for going back to work tomorrow. Keeping it easy - simple hair and makeup, slacks and a sweater, my new Clark's shoes (so comfortable - I say they resemble slippers, but they're not slippers). I have my soup packed for lunch and my medications packed.
Sickness-wise, I feel like I've turned yet another corner - but boy is this illness stubborn. I wish DD and her SO would have gone to the doctor - but it does seem they are getting better - so it is probably pointless now.
My dad called me this morning, gave me the new phone number to my mom's new room. They moved her to be closer to cardiac care since she has been on heart medications since 2012. He said my sister is taking good care of him and my brother took him to visit my mom the other day.
I said when I get my new tire on the car and get feeling better I will bring a meal for him and my sister, with enough for leftovers, give her a break from cooking. I will schedule the tire appointment tomorrow so hopefully that can happen this week.
Something needs to give when my mom comes home - they need to get home delivered meals or something. My mom has always been resistant to that - wants to do it all herself and then complain about doing it all herself. Also she says you "have to pay" for the HDM - you do NOT - it is a "suggested donation with nobody denied a meal due to the inability to pay".
Furthermore, since the program is one of many run by my employer, I am going to have the "suggested donation" envelopes mailed to ME and I'll take care of it. Furthermore, Medicare might pay for it - we'll have to figure it all out, but she is going to have to give a little - can't have it both ways. My sister will be run ragged doing their chores, she can't be cooking 3 meals a day for both of them (I mean yeah, she could but...).
Sorry for rambling on about all that, it helps to "talk it out". Off to browse the forum, check emails, do some surveys, wash yesterday's dishes. My goal is to stay busy with "low energy tasks" today and enjoy the sunshine. I wish each of you a peaceful, safe, blessed Sunday.
