Today I tried to hook up a new hose reel to the only backyard spigot. It would not go on and neither would the hose. A little googling brought me to a YouTube video describing a tool that cleans and reshapes the threads on hose bibs when they have been messed up (usually by misthreading hoses). Who knew?? Amazon is bringing me one tomorrow for $20. Wish me luck.

I spoke with the designer today and made a plan for the next round of stuff I need done. Hopefully she can get to it before I leave. I also made an appointment with a screen repair person to fix my cat patio screen door (screened patio the previous owners put in for their cats) and to fix the screen on my back door that is getting thin around the handle. Might as well fix it before my hand breaks through.

I also managed (miracle of miracles) to trim Kirby's fuzzy bedroom slipper paws. He makes any grooming task a total nightmare, so I really am proud of us! They look so cute!


I think that's all for now. Hair appt tomorrow. I need it!

Take care!

Your poor dad, and you! It's so hard to watch parental decline. With my aunt's dementia, my dad would get sad that she still thought their parents were alive and vacationing in Martha's Vineyard. I said it sounds like a nice world to live in, where she hasn't suffered that loss and they are coming back to her any day. So in your dad's world, he's not in a care facility stuck on the floor for hours. He's at his vacation place getting the mail and being vexed by his mailman gluing his mail together. Sounds like a nicer world to have spent the night. Though, cameras the staff could check periodically without waking him wouldn't go amiss...

The flight was uneventful and ontime. Navigating the traffic here, very eventful. Ordering party platters from Costco also eventful, but hopefully accomplished. We have a very early morning start tomorrow, due to the uncertainties of traffic. We need to be in Salem by 9:30, and we are on the other side of the city. We are allowing 2.5 hours, and hope we arrive early and can kick back and have a coffee.

More later...

Can't tell DH but you are WAY more fit than he is. He works on legs and arms but nothing else.

Geez wrote that without anything about your Dad. Don't they check at anytime during the night? It hurts thinking about your Dad there waiting for help.

Not feeling the love today...

Greeted the day with news that my dad had once again been taken by ambulance to the ER. He fell at some point during the night (my brother and I suspect when he was going to bed) trying to turn off a lamp in his living room. He did not use is "Life Alert" button around his neck. He lay on the floor all night until someone found him at 5:45. Sigh... He's fine and back at home. I went to visit after lunch today and he was completely at ease, but cognitively somewhere else. He had some **** and bull story about being at his vacation place getting the mail which had been sprayed with glue and he fell, well the mailman fell because he actually did not fall, while he was trying to open the glued mail. So you see, it wasn't his fault genetically. I know well enough to just go with it, but dayum!!!! Ain't dementia grand?!?!?!?!

Still annoyed with what's his name that sits in a chair in my living room.

I've eaten a lot of crap food the past two days. LOL!

Liz, I'm envious of Mike's weight in the 190s. Not like I couldn't be there, too, but envy works for me today.

Upper grade and middle school concert tonight. Need to get my butt in gear for that.

204.4 today.
