Wheres Toto Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Last day of CSI camp today. The morning we're going to do an escape room then Cryptograms. Not sure about the afternoon. I'm skipping out on working out with dd tomorrow because I want to sleep. These weeks are rough. So glad I took a week off in between each one. Next camp is Wizard Camp (Harry Potter-ish theme). Next week I have an 8am orthopedic doctor appointment, the whole family has an afternoon eye doctor appointment, dh is having knee surgery, older dd is moving into her apartment, younger dd has a neuropsych appointment, and it's younger dd's 14th birthday. But its going to be raining all week so we won't be going to the lake at all so maybe I'll get something accomplished amidst all that. This Sunday we're having a dinner to celebrate oldest dd graduating with her Masters degree. Just family and her boyfriend. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Good morning! Congratulations to your dd, Toto! Dd18 is in florida with the church youth group and her face has mysteriously gotten all puffy. They are taking her to urgent care this morning. Chester ate his breakfast this morning because dh mixed a spoonful of corned beef hash into his kibble. He is such a diva. The Ents (Tree People) are coming this morning to trim a couple trees and remove the big bradford pear out front. It is a little sad because we love the tree - the leaves turn beautiful colors for my birthday and it shades this half of the house so nicely, but it needs to come down. The trunk is split in half almost to the ground and it won't be long before a good wind blows it through the roof. Coffee! 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 DS is enrolled in public school. He is signed up for FAST camp next week. Some kind of orientation thing. DH has prostate cancer. DS just got his first vaccine shot, which is good, because of the above. I put cardboard over my AC vent at work because I was too cold in my office. I am now happily warmer. Still not fully warm, but warmer. My lunch today was really good - Marie Callender's Chicken Alfredo, Yum. I have too much work to do. I leave for another audit trip on Monday near Pittsburgh. Really good used book store near where I am staying, if I remember correctly. I'm three nights away from Hilton Platinum. This trip is 3 days, 2 nights. Bummer. I wanted to stretch it to 3 nights just to make Platinum but I really couldn't justify the extra day. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Dh has had to go to Pittsburgh a couple times. He says it's a pretty nice city. The Ents are gone and so is Groot and his dad. The Oak tree looks so much better now that it has been pruned. We have a Japanese maple on the corner of the house that will now get plenty of sunshine. It's a nice tree. The doctor decided that dd18 had sun poisoning and so she is taking prednisone. Jean, are you the one who gets loopy on prednisone? Anyways, she has been instructed to wear her big floppy hat at all times and have fun for the rest of her trip. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, my dad has been on a decline that started on about mid-May and it’s been picking up steam. He’s been home with my mom (who is in good health, but she is 82) and now it looks like he’s going to need to go to skilled nursing. She’s going to try to move him once we get back from our trip. We’ll only be gone a week, but I’m getting worried, a bit. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Morning, Happy Saturday. I slept in a little bit this morning but the dog woke me up just before 8am. That was probably enough sleeping in. Instead of taking a day of rest to start the week, I decided I need to get to work so I'm doing laundry, planning classes, updating 4-H stuff, doing records, etc. Trying to be productive. So many doctors appointments and stuff this coming week that I'll need to do the work when I have the chance. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Dh has evidently gotten past his older generation/conservative views on things. Our son has been wearing a red pleather cosplay mini-skirt and dh did nothing more than mention it to me with a chuckle. I think ds wearing it had more to do with the need to do laundry than anything else, but was glad to see dh had such a non-reaction over something that really is a non-issue. He also took them shopping the other day, let them pick out their own clothes completely and even bought them new stuffed animals even though I know he doesn't understand their liking for them. I guess me saying "they have a right to make their own choices as to what they wear/how the wear their hair/what they like" has sunk in more than I thought. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Plans for the day have changed. While dh was replacing the cabinet lining under the sink, he discovered a leak and had to shut off all the water in the kitchen. Dh is NOT happy. Meanwhile, I found out I am going on a hike with dd12 and her scout patrol and driving a couple additional scouts there. So it will be a little more than and hour and a half each way to the trailhead and back and an hour and a half hike. It will be good to go hiking, though. Especially an easy hike without backpack. 😁 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I can't remember if I mentioned it here (I don't think that I did) but we are signing Mom96 up for hospice. This isn't because we think that she will die soon necessarily but because she too is in a sharp (mostly cognitive) decline. The hospice program will give her more 1:1 attention that she needs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
