I finally have seemed to find a few minutes.....
I/we are not doing good.... me emotionally, Dona physically.
She has been in the hospital since last week. A simple ultrasound and MRI has turned into our worst nightmare.
She is in the critical care step down unit, maybe for a couple more days. After that it is still a big unknown..... hopefully will get a real diagnosis soon.
I am trying to not fall apart, it's taking all I have....
It might be a while, but I'll get back when I can.
Ted, You both have our prayers. Like Don said, you need to be strong for her (and I say to be doting too). Prayers for her medical staff and for divine healing. Thank you for sharing. We care.
I’ve completed 78 trips around the sun. Who’d a thought. Maybe go into town later for a nice dinner.
Happy belated birthday David, hope for many many more trips around the sun.
A1C today 6.1 better than before I’m happy
That's great! Keep it up....or should I say keep it down?
26 F cloudy low 30's for high,couple hours snow flakes in the air than turning freezeing rain rain storm ending around 6pm...not complaining we need wet badly before ground freezes.
Is it better if the ground is moist prior to freezing? Wonder why?
My wife and I went up to Shenandoah NP and had a fun anniversary lunch at the Skyland Lodge. Then a cool hike along some cliffs on Stony Man and Little Stony Man up to sunset. Got back late to a very lonely and hungry Della.
Happy Anniversary you 2!!!, I'll bet Della got over it fast when y'all got home.
Last night learned one of my wifes cousin died. This is one of the cousins we visited in California over the summer. Cancer sucks.
Sorry to hear, condolences. I hate cancer.
These "treatments" are danged pricey. LOL. You really cannot see with a good LOS into the Milk House, but.....women...ya know...
true words there I tell ya....true words.
I have felt your pain! I want to meet the SOB who designed smoke detectors to find out what he did to make them decide the battery is low between 11pm and 6am. Save for one instance, I have never had them do that while I was awake.
Never do they go out in the day. Never. I did have one that waited until 5am recently.
Don, you are doing all the hard work to make that house nearly perfect.....but never will be perfect.....women...ya know!
RNG, hope the wiring gets figured out. Sorry about the smoke alarm. I guess it is hard to get sleep when you're retired....with 2 houses.
Popgadget, letting the dogs rest by the fire is a good way to end the day.
It is still warm here. 77F at 510pm. Might be 53F and windy in the morning.
Traffic is bad, stores are crowded.
I've been off all week. Helped my buddy who's building a new house. It is 95% done, my son and I were the first to sleep in it. Only cold water, propane is not hooked up yet. It was nice and quiet. Very tight home. We helped him get the water hooked up, turned on, turn on valves and check multiple times for water leaks. Only leaks were the toilet tank/bowl gaskets needed 7/16" deep socket to tighten down a little bit. Also, the disposal under the sink does not have the dishwasher hooked up yet, so that leaked a bit. I installed his fridge in place for him. I wanted to hook up his wall oven/microwave combo, but he wants the electrician to install a plug. I was going to use wire nuts and black tape. Not sure if there is code involved, so we left it on the floor.
Visited some old friends down in my hometown. One of my old friends gave me a boat. A Glastron Carlson C512 Metric series, 1981 model. I rode in this boat many times around 1985-88. It basically has been in a covered boat storage since then. It has an inboard Alpha Mercury marine 4 cylinder boosted to 140hp. I remember it doing about 55mph when properly "propped". Another project. Besides all the mud dauber nests, it needs an "imron overhaul". Trailer needs sanding and painted. I believe the top of the boat (deep sparkly flaked red gel coat) can be wet sanded and sprayed with some 2 part clear to bring out the luster. Seats need recovering. Might need to replace fuel tank. When parked, he sprayed some oil or something down the spark plug holes and turned it over a few revolutions without the plugs. Buddy already bought all new tires and wheels for the trailer. He's looking to find a clean Donzi in the 20' range used. I still have Don's old "tinny" boat to get going too. But this boat has a title and everything needed to go to the lake legally.
