What are you doing today?

[Sliverfox]

Somewhere I mentioned buying Dutch Apple jam/jelly.
Opened the jar, apple bits, raisins In a slightly flavored cinnamon syrup.
Maybe brown sugar used to made the syrup as its brownish colored.

My nails look red in that last pic they're not red they're orange

Orange is my favorite color! Oddly enough, I have orange, green like your background and blue color in my den. Really breaks up the brown of the couch and recliner. I have a geen chair and orange one.

I'm here in my office room.. the green is my leather desk jotter... and the white background is the hutch my Apple Mac sits on... ..yes I decided on the orange at the last minute in the salon, I was pretty tired of the pink I've had for the last 2 months..

Hi @MarkinPhx I'm sorry your Father's health has changed so that he needs to be in a more skilled facility; I'm glad the ratings are good.

Not to add to your anxiety, but it's not unusual for folks with dementia to have increased confusion and fear when moved to a new location. Does your dad have some fave music he can take along? Or perhaps a beloved photo or memento?

I hope the staff will receive him calmly and not put too much on him all at once.... Nothing like having a bunch of over-zealous-to-do-good people descending on a confused person, talking loudly (if he's not hard of hearing) and pushing all kinds of activities on him.

I hope I'm not stepping on your toes here... I just go into "RN mode" automatically lol. I'm sure you know what's best for your Father, just trying to give some general help.

Thank you. It all went very well. He seemed to settle in OK to his new home. The staff is great and the few patients that I did see/meet seem to be taken care of very well. I was told that it's best I not visit him for at least a week so he can get used to his new surroundings. Makes sense to me. Now for the rest of the night I am going to create my own movie festival featuring Humphry Bogart

It 's very good to hear, that went well, @MarkinPhx

Cleaning.

 

[mike4lorie]

Well got up a lot earlier than I did yesterday, yesterday I didn't get up till 1:30 pm... Today we cleaned out our shed, basically, everything got thrown in there late last summer when we moved into this house, so we got it all cleaned up and organized... It's a huge shed now...

Then we went to Home Depot to look at railings, I want to put on one of those railings that are glass... Last weekend we had a cement pad up against our front steps because I think I will enjoy sitting out there, having a glass of whiskey on ice.. and waving to the neighbours as they go by. Then we went to the dairy queen, and it was nowhere as good as it was a few weeks ago. Lorie and I and Carl, our 15-year-old pup went down to St. Lawerence and went for a walk, where Carl loves to put his paws in the water after our walk... We also read the posters about the Tall Ships coming to Brockville in two weeks, and that we need to get tickets to participate in that. Then we came home and ordered some Chinese food for dinner. And here we are now...

Hope everyone else had a GREAT Friday also...
Cheers~

Yesterday was a very lazy day so this morning I hit the floor running. I got up around midnight and rearranged some items in my storage closet, mainly to make it easier to reach the toilet paper bundles. Went down and did laundry in the middle of the night as always. That involves disinfecting every surface my clothes and I will touch. About mid morning I took out the recyclables, walked to a retail store looking for a bath mat (didn't find what I wanted) and then did my grocery shopping. After disinfecting the things that go in the fridge, I loaded the dishwasher and started drying clothes. I only put away the ones that go on hangers today....I was tired. Watched some T.V. and played Words With Friends.

Lovely sunny day today so we will be having a picnic along the river. Have a good day everyone

 

[mike4lorie]

Today, Today I am planning to cut the grass, since, Yes again, tomorrow is supposed to rain... Put thicker wood on the steps on the deck that we built for the gazebo... But other than that Lorie has left for Ottawa to have a family meeting with her sisters about their Mom selling the house and moving into a retirement home. So Carl and I have stayed behind...

Have a GREAT day all...
Cheers~

Our son is treating us to the movie 'Top Gun: Maverick' this afternoon.

Think he is feeling a little guilty about not calling his Mother
as often as she feels is needed...

I'm just looking forward to the movie!

 

[MarkinPhx]

It is getting up to 114F today so I am going to hibernate inside today , working on DYI projects in my home that I have procrastinated doing for awhile now. Realistically, I will probably procrastinate again and just finish up watching The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix.

 

[dobielvr]

Not sure how hot it's going to be today , but I'm getting an early start on cleaning and watering.
Gardener is coming this morning to mow the front yard and trim all the crabgrass growing in the lawn.

Will be home the rest of the day...the gas prices force me to.

 

[hawkdon]

I'm trying to find an agency that will come pick up these
little kitties and their momma....don't need whole herd of
wild strays in this area.......good luck to me!!!!!

Traveling to Colorado Springs today…

Connection flight from Dallas-Fort Worth to CO Spgs just got change from 1pm departure to 3:15 pm.
I feel some serious ppl watching coming on

Maybe I’ll try to place ppl in some of my fave literature. Is there a dashing Mr Darcy waiting in line at Starbucks? Is Lady Catherine de Bourgh boring everyone senseless in the waiting area? Perhaps a shy Ann Elliott helping a frazzled mother calm a fussy baby?

I have to make my own fun

Haven’t spotted Mr Darcy, but “Mrs Pumfrey” from All Creatures Great and Small is waxing poetic and flowery about her disabled chihuahua in the waiting area …. Not quite the same age as the noble lady but still tending to kissy noises and an on-going commentary on the breed

My nails look red in that last pic they're not red they're orange

They look great!

Waiting for another UPS delivery.
If it shows up before too late, I might watch a movie on t.v.

Same stuff, different day. Talked with Julie. She is going to come out Monday, when I am out of Covid jail. Giving her my mailbox key so she can gather my mail. Then she will go up to my apartment to get my good walker, m y laptop and a few other things. She also said she would check my fridge to see if anything has gone bad. I have been here longer than expected

Good idea about checking the fridge.
Don't know if I would have thought of that.

 

[hollydolly]

I've not done too much today... organised some clothing into a different room wardrobe , did the usual chores... cleaned this office room... made chicken, herb potatoes and snap on peas for dinner.. tied up the roses on the trellis..

Otherwise really nothing... tomorrow will be a different day

bad migraine, sitting here with my ice cap on. leftovers for dinner.

 

[horseless carriage]

We have been to RAF Weston, it was something of a part vintage nostalgia, part MG fun day. I'll let you know more next week. Here's a little taster:

It was about ten o'clock in the evening by the time we got home, now it's bath & bed in order to be up at silly o'clock in order to be on time to join all the other ancient MG's on a run, followed by lunch, fun and all the silly things that MG types do. Last time we gathered was back in 2019.

Take two of these, dissolved in water.
Not on an empty stomach
and be careful, they can be addictive.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have never heard of it. I get botox treatments for my chronic migraines. I have tried many prescription medications that don't help or the side effects were bad. I am under a neurologist's care for it. I have pain pills for it but I try not to use them unless I have no choice.
