FIRST DAY
OF SPRING! Yaaay! The weather
today is supposed to be gorgeous. But we
are not exactly finished with winter weather. The say we do have a large front coming in
tomorrow though, with thunderstorms predicted.
They also expect snow in the mountains down to 1500 ft. We are only at 340 ft. so we’ll just get the
rain. But again, the bad weather just puts the concrete pour on hold yet
another week! I got up and going early this morning. Daylight is around 7:16am, and Quincy knows
to come get me at 7:00am! It’s ok, though.
I don’t mind getting up and going early.
With her walk done, I fixed us both breakfast and then I went out and
finally finished the steps.
I had to custom cut the small pieces in between the
2x8’s but I have a table saw that made quick work of that! Once that was done,
all I needed to do was get the steps level and I was done. I rested a bit and took pictures
and then went
back out to the shop and cleaned up.
Using the table saw reminded me that even though I have the vacuum system
hooked up on the chop saw, I still need to run a line to suck the sawdust from
the table saw. That project will be on my list of shop projects to work soon. My
sister was feeling pretty good today so she decided to venture out and go to
the store with Lydia. She got an
electric scooter and said she did fine.
They got back and I came in from the shop and unloaded the car and after
they got things put away, they rested. They said they planned dinners for the
next few days and got everything they needed for that. We ate lunch and since
we are expecting rain for the rest of the week, I decided to get out the Honda
mower and do the small patch of lawn next to the rv. It’s really too small for
the tractor and the Honda has a catcher so it is a lot neater using that. I first had to get the string trimmer out and
gassed up and running so I could trim up under the coach so the mower could get
the trimmings. I ended up going over the
grass twice just to get all of the grass cut and picked up. It was really thick and green and tall! That
wiped me out so once I got everything cleaned up and put away, I was done for
the day. Since we all ate late lunches, we bypassed dinner. But Lydia did fix some pistachio pudding and
we had that as a snack later. We watched tv and relaxed after our day.
Wednesday, March 21st, 2018…… Nothing
on the list for today. I got Quincy walked. The rain wasn’t due in until later
this evening so we were good to go. I decided to make a run to Albany and do
another check at the Habitat for Humanity store there. I stopped on the way and
got a chorizo and egg breakfast burrito from a place I had driven by several
times and wanted to try. I liked it
better that the other place on the east end of town. Nothing to be found at HFH so I drove back
home. When I got back, Lydia said she received a call from her nephrology office
that they wanted to cut back on some of her meds. Her new doctor spoke with her old doctor in
Calif. and they agreed that existing doses were changing her immune system a
bit. She has to go in and do a series of lab draws and then to a hematologist
for analysis and subsequent adjustments.
They think the upset stomach and nausea she experienced a few weeks ago
may be a result of and/or sparked by her meds and the fact that she has been on
the same dosage since the first year after her transplant (1998). She’s had no
other issues and feels fine so we’re looking at this as a preventative measure.
Later in the
afternoon, we got a few sprinkles, enough to wet the grass so I’m glad I got
that done yesterday. After leftover pork, which Lydia made into pulled pork
sandwiches, I cleaned up and we watched tv (Survivor tonight) and a few other
shows before bedtime. By then the rains
started back up again. They say we’ll
have light rain for the next several days, probably through the weekend.
