Saturday, May 2nd, 2020…… The weather was rainy today and we
didn’t have any plans so it was another stay-at-home day! I walked the dog, made us breakfast, and we
watched tv and only did a little straightening up around the house. Pretty quiet. I heated up leftovers and we
finished the quiet day watching more tv before calling it a night.
Sunday, May 3rd, 2020…… Hey look, another quiet day! But
at least this one was nice and sunny! Lydia has been feeling pretty good,
considering the medications have some side effects. But she hasn’t felt any of
them so far, which is really good. She’s had a few calls these last few days
from her doctor’s offices checking on how she was doing. Jack, from the
oncology pharmacy, also called and left a few messages on Lydia’s phone, which
was shut off and on the charger. Turns out when we went to unplug it, it wasn’t
charged at all! She evidently didn’t get
the plug all the way in, so we had to do it all again. She got it up and
running and made most of the call backs and got caught up. I spent most of the day watching iracing.
I’m still not into any of this and only watch to kill the time. I will be glad
when all the races are allowed to go back to the real thing!
Tonight, I
made us steak burritos. I had found some chunked steak for stew and we tried
that. It was just ok. Not exactly what we were expecting!
Monday, May 4th, 2020…… Lydia’s new dialysis schedule is Mondays and
Fridays. Yaaay! So, after fixing her breakfast, she got caught up on with Jack
and then got dressed and ready for her trip to Albany. I am looking to go to
Cabela’s again and was thinking about going up there today, but decided to go
tomorrow instead. We have been doing real good using up our groceries and
frozen foods but Lydia is getting a new list together for another market run
for me. Not sure when. We left early and
stopped by Walgreens to get some required vitamins which were over-the-counter.
When Lydia called to inquire about them, they said they would just hold them
for window pickup. I got back from taking her to dialysis and did some work on
my monthly bill spreadsheet. Later, after we got home from dialysis, I heated
up the chicken noodle soup from our neighbors and Lydia had that. I fixed a
couple steak burritos for me. That was dinner. We have been watching a lot of
tv and although our shows are over for the season, we still find things to tape
and watch. Something to do!
Tuesday, May 5th, 2020…… The weather here has been really nice, in the
70s during the day. No rain in sight for a while they say. I decided that today
was a good day to head up to Tualatin to Cabela’s. I was looking for four
things this time. I got Lydia’s tea to her, walked Rylee, and then fed her.
When I got back, Lydia was up and had already come in and made her own breakfast! She did say that it was a little harder to
get going this morning. One of the side effects of the new med is muscle aches
and low energy. She is feeling good and once she was up and moving, most of
that went away. I took off, knowing that my sister was coming over later to
look in on Lydia and let Rylee out. I made my way up I5 and got there a little
after 9:00am. Once in the store, I found out they open early for seniors so I almost
had the place to myself! Problem was none of the 4 items I wanted were there.
They were either sold out or didn’t have my size. The boat seats I wanted they had but only two
and I needed four and wanted them from the same lot so I passed. Bummer! I may go south tomorrow to
Springfield and try there. It’s a way smaller store so I don’t expect much. But
at least I am getting out for a bit! Once I got home, sis was still here and left
shortly after. Cherine came by later for Lydia’s OT and so did Kirk and Carter
to do yardwork. I had them use the weed whacker out by the fenceline out in the
‘west forty’ that butts up to Rich and Linda’s backyard. He cut it all back and
then sprayed it to prevent future weeding. I also had them do the area out by
the creek, to the south. We mow that area but can only get so close to the edge
and if they can just knock it down once or twice a season, I can do the rest. They
will also need to do the area on the other side of creek but they ran out of
time and will tackle that next week.
When I was
out shopping last, Lydia had me get all of the stuff for our chicken and rice
casserole. That was dinner tonight. I
got that put together and into the oven. It was just ok. We both think I
overdid the chicken seasoning this time. Oh well! We ended up watching our taped shows until
bedtime.
