I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

My 9 year old grandson would have loved to have been with you at the ball park!!
Today is "parsonage review" so I will be spending the day still trying to get this place in shape. It is much better, but there are still things to do.
After that (they are coming 5-6) we will be going out for Wesley's 81st birthday. i will let him pick the place. I am hoping to have fish so hope that is on their menu.
Hope everyone has a great day!

It's looking like we're in for some bad storms here today.....it's already sprinkling, dark and gloomy.
Sorry Carla and the gals weren't able to stop here yesterday. It was after 12 noon when I talked with her and she was still at the Urgent Care. I had to keep my piano student lessons since this is their last week, so it just didn't work out time wise for them to stop by. I was so looking forward to seeing them......hope Carla got some medicine for her terrible cough. She is going to try and stop on her way back in 3 wks....
Work this morning and then have a free afternoon for a change....probably a good thing if we're going to have storms.
Yesterday I fell completely off the wagon and I don't know what I was thinking......today is a new day and a new start to get myself back on track.
Have a calm and caring day,
Pat

Done! Your Ticker:
Hi gang,
Life has been busy with me with FIL admitted to a gero/psych. unit. The doc is working on adjusting his meds so he is calmer. He is having flashbacks when he was in WWII, he was only 18 when he was in the Army. He kept it in all these years, never talking about his experiences. Last night I went to see him after work and for the first time in 1 1/2 weeks he is not drooling on himself and is more with it cognitive wise. For the last week I've been going to bed crying for him. I knew I just had to have faith in this doctor and getting his drug levels up where they should be. The goal is to get him back to assisted living with his bride of 58 years. It now looks like that just may be possible.
Now my house is sold and I don't have to worry about having to pay extra house-payments and insurance which was so high to insure an empty house. Feels like the weight has been lifting off my shoulders.
And hey...still loving my VS bra!! and so is "Millie and Maude" LOL

My dad never talked about his WWII experiences. He drank
a lot when he came back. Before he left, he was engaged to
this woman, who married someone else while he was away.
He was devastated. His friends hooked him up with my mom on
a blind date. And the rest is history. You might say my mom saved
him. He still drank after that, but not as heavily (he always had
two quarts of beer a night, but at home, and he always got up
in the morning to go to work. He never missed a day, not even
with the cold or the flu, or a broken toe.) People didn't understand
PTSD back then. It was just as hard on those soldiers as it was
on the guys in the Vietnam, Korean and other wars.
The only thing we ever heard my dad say about his war
experiences came when my brother Ed had No. 4 in the draft
lottery. My dad said if he had money, he'd send my brother to
Canada, because he wouldn't wish being in any war on anybody.
So we knew it was hard on him. He had shrapnel in his legs
and hips and was always in pain (he was wounded in Italy and
North Africa, and got Purple Hearts).

Good morning Eileen and everyone.....
I have to do some traveling this morning for my job so this will be very quick.
Kyleigh (granddaughter) will be going to a treatment facility in about a week or so. The average stay is 8 to 9 months. Hopefully they can help get her thinking back on track. They will reevaluate her situation. Hopefully get her diagnosed and give her the help she needs. It is down in the southern part of the state so I won't be able to see her as often as I would like. She will have very limited visitation anyway....at least at first. This is going to be very hard on all of us but we know she has to do this. Please keep her in your prayers. Makes my heart ache thinking about her.
Got my three mile walk/jog in this morning. I always feel better after that. It helps clear my head and gives me plenty of time to think.
Have a happy day everyone. Special prayers to those in need. Call someone you haven't talked with in awhile....you will brighten their day!...and yours too!
Love and hugs to all......connie d

Connie, Kyleigh and your whole family is included in my prayers. I truly hope that this is the answer for you all. I know it is stressful on everyone and I also know that there is an answer and it is coming. It is going to be hard on everyone with the structure of the facility but know that it is all in the best interest of Kyleigh's recovery.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
