Wednesday, October 24th, 2018…... Today’s
projects included going to Batteries+Bulbs in Corvallis to get a new halogen
light for the floor lamp in my office. I walked Rylee and then went and got
breakfast/tea/coffee and then waited for Lydia to get ready. She wanted to go
to Bed Bath & Beyond and that was right next door so it worked out for both
of us! Yesterday. When Tim and Dana were here, I brought up the service call we
both had turned in to Pioneer Doors. I called them twice and Dana called them
once to come out and make an adjustment to the large garage door on the rv
garage. It seems to need adjustment at the upper range of motion. I am pissed that
no one has responded. They told me that last week they saw the son, Cory, at
Economy Hardware and he said he wasn’t given the message from his dad, who Dana
spoke to the week before that. Cory told
her he was coming the first of this week.
But as of Tuesday evening, no Cory! I am expecting at least a call from
him scheduling this. I am not happy!
We have one more day before the
rains are coming. They predict about 3 weeks of off and on showers. I still
need a dry day to get the last cutting on the lawn. Looks like I’ll miss that
for now! We went shopping at Safeway and when we got home, I got a text from
Dana that Cory had been there and to check the door that he adjusted. I did and
it works fine now. We’re not sure which
time we were gone that he came, but the main thing is, it’s now fixed! Yaay!
Later, I watched game 2 of the world series. The Dodgers lost another one. They
move to LA for the next three so I’m hoping home field will work for them!
Thursday, October 25th, 2018…... No baseball today… I got up and walked
Rylee before the rains came. It wasn’t a lot of rain today, just off and on,
but it went on for most of the day. They are saying this cell is here for today
and tomorrow and there may be a break by Saturday. We take my sister in for her
surgery early tomorrow morning, and she will be here with us recuperating for a
while so I’m not sure of our schedule. Lydia will be major caregiver and I get
Quincy duty. But I hope to get some time so we can get the mower(s) out and get
the lawn done between showers and everything else.
Penny came over a couple
of times today. One, to drop off some things and then the second time to bring
Quincy and her stuff over. She wanted to take us to dinner tonight. So, we went
back to her place so she could put her car in her garage and out of the
weather. Then we took off for Sweet Home. She had heard about the Downtown
Lounge, on her neighborhood website, so we went there. We had seen it many
times, right on the main road through town, and thought about stopping in but
never did.but never went in before. It’s really just an old downtown bar, but
they served food and we hadn’t been. All three of us chose hamburgers of some
sort. They were very good! Plus, the beer was cold! This place is now on our list and we will be
going back! We made the 15-minute drive back home and settled in for the night
and watched tv. Penny had to do some pre-surgery procedures before going to bed
so she went to do that. Later, Quincy and Rylee found their beds and we all tried
to sleep. Tomorrow will come early!
Friday, October 26th, 2018…... Everyone was up at 4:00am! I got
ready and Lydia got up to let the dogs out. It was super dark out so they just
went potty and then came right back in. Lydia stayed to watch the dogs and we
left the house about 4:45am and got there in time for her 5:45am check-in. The
plan was for me to drop her off and then come back home. The surgery was going
to be 6 hours or so and then recovery time and the Dr will call me when he’s
done, then she will call me once she gets up to her room and then we will go
visit. I got the call at 1:19pm that everything went well and that she was in
recovery now. We decided to wait a few hours so we could feed the dogs and then
eat then headed up there. She looked pretty good for someone in surgery for 6
hrs.!
We stayed only a short time so she
could get some food and then rest for the evening. We headed back and let the
pooches out and gave them some time to run. I was able to listen to the Dodger
game on the way home and watched it at the end.
I mean all the way to the end. 18 innings! But, we won! We sure needed that game! On to tomorrow. It
was a long day and Lydia we were ready for an early bedtime!
