Saturday, Dec 14th, 2019…… No rain this morning, and it was actually
pleasant when I took Rylee out for our walk.
Except she found a pile of poop left by our neighbor’s dog. She wanted
to gnaw on it but I quickly dragged her away and picked it up. I got her back
home and fed and then got Lydia her breakfast and tea. She had a pretty good
night and we had nothing on the agenda today so she could relax and stay in her
pajamas and take it easy. I went out this morning and disinfected the rv
fridge. It had sat for a few weeks when it was in the shop and was shut off and
closed up so it had little fuzzys in there that needed to be cleaned up! That
didn’t take too long and that was it for my tasks for today. I hung around the
house and watched tv and played with butthead a bit outside. The grass is wet
again from the rains so we try not to slosh out in it. I take her out to the
field where she can run and smell and try to find the field mice. I had ordered
a seat for Lydia to use in the shower and it came today so I got that assembled
and it’s ready for her tomorrow. I asked
Lydia what she might want for dinner and she said pork chops so I got those out
to defrost. Later, I cooked them and also made up some mushroom gravy and
mashed potatoes and corn and we had a nice filling meal. We each watched our taped programs before
calling it a night.

No rain
this morning and none predicted until Wednesday. Yaay! I got Rylee out and walked and came back in
and read the paper. Lydia was already up and in her chair, so I made her some
tea. This morning I decided to try breakfast again. I had picked up fresh eggs,
mushrooms, spinach and a zucchini when I went shopping so I decided to use them
for another omelet. I used the copper chef skillet and this time it turned out way
better than the last one! I used the bigger skillet and made mine scrambled
eggs with all of the above fixins. Yummy! After breakfast, I got out her big box of meds
so she could make up her daily doses for her two-week supply box. Then she got
into the shower. The shower chair worked well for her but after she got out,
she bumped her heel and it shot pain into her foot. It took a lot out of her
mood until she got her feet elevated again and some Tylenol in her. We settled in to watch tv today. Football for
me and Christmas movies for Lydia. The pain meds have been working to somewhat
relieve her pain, but they also leave her drowsy and they upset her stomach a
little. Sleep and rest are both good but
I just wish she felt better so she could get into the Christmas spirit. With
all of this going on, she feels helpless and I know she’s bored most of the
time from just laying around. When we get the knee scooter, she might be able
to do more and keep her mind busy. We were both full from breakfast so we had
some apples and grapes and cheese and cashews for lunch. I made an early
dinner. It was just chicken pot pies but it was easy and filling. We finished
up the night catching up on taped programs.
Monday, Dec 16th, 2019…… Nothing on the agenda today. We still have a
few things to get for Christmas so we discussed how to make that happen. Plus,
we need to each get ourselves something from Randy and Maryanne (while they are
buying something they want from us) for the facetime video on Christmas. We’ve
already completed the gift exchange we have going with Jeff and Krista and the
grandkids in Florida. With the kids involved, it’s better for us to buy and
send gifts. We have received each other’s packages and they are under the tree
already. As I said, no rain in the forecast. Lydia only wanted tea and cereal
so I took care of that and then I headed out and got my breakfast and coffee. I
called the medical supply company to check on the scooter. They told me they
had sent another document to Dr. Tedesco, required to be completed in more
detail and signed in order for insurance approval. Lydia called Dr. Tedesco’s
office as well. She wanted to let them know they had a fax to respond to plus
she has not heard back about the second fluid draw that is being done by a third
party. They were supposed to call us direct to set up an appointment but we
have not heard yet, thus the inquiry. Later, I headed over to my sister’s house
to install party lights around her back fence. We got that done pretty quickly
and I headed back home for the rest of the day. Oh yeah, I saw her Charlie
Brown Tree that she cut down from the forest! Here’s a pic she took…
I relaxed
for the afternoon. I got a call for a survey about the recent service work
order from Peterson Trucking. I was not shy about telling them how I felt. They had over $1100. listed on the invoice as “diagnostic”
and I thought that was an error. When I went to pick it up, they said they
adjusted it but they added on additional charges for labor to re-install the
correct valves after they put on the incorrect ones. That was not right and I
told them so! I don’t expect them to do
anything but at least it felt good to let them know how I felt!
Later, I started
dinner. Tonight was soft shell tacos. They were pretty easy to make and we had
a nice dinner. I watched Monday Night football and my other shows until
bedtime. Lydia napped much of the day so she stayed up a while longer and
watched tv and came to bed later.
