Started the day at my oncology doctor with my fall blood testing get results in a few days later in the week, not really worried here on them as of now, then had a late meal with my best friend I have. Tomorrow night, we have a supper at a very good steakhouse as a gift to us from friends. 4 going.
 

For the last 5 days I’ve taking care of Mom. Been cooking, changing diapers and playing cards. She goes back to her house when my niece returns tomorrow. At 97 years old she needs full time help and my niece takes care of at her house. I take over when my niece needs a break. She really wants to stay in her house to the end and were both pretty dedicated to make that happen. This is her back when she enlisted into the army and became a RN during WWII. The army gave them an honorary 2nd Lieutenant title to keep the enlisted men away!

How caring you all are, to be able to make your mums' wish come to pass that she may live out her life in her own home, if at all possible...

She was a very beautiful woman in her younger days...
 
Today was quite a day. I was up all night cleaning, straightening and doing more kitten proofing now that Deja is able to jump on higher surfaces. We even watched some cat TV together. I tried to take a nap around 5:45 a.m. and set my alarm for 7 but by 6:10 I was up and busy again.

I left by 8:40 to take the bus to Port Authority in New York then transfered to the Atlantic City bus. I ate a sandwich on the bus and I thought I'd nap on the bus like I usually do but wound up doing things on my tablet. After arriving at Atlantic City I took the jitney to the hotel. I was pretty tired by the time I got here so ate some of the food that was left here for me (my son checked in Friday), edited the commentary for my friend's bio and texted it to the videographer in between taking two naps. Now he'd like to interview me via Zoom. 😏 I'm not crazy about how I look on Zoom calls but I'll see. 🤔

Okay then. A day off and it's gonna be sunny and warm(ish) at 67.

What'll I do today? Should I get my bony butt outta idle and into cruising speed and get the allium bulbs planted? Cut back the rest of the flowers that froze last week?

Dig out the Christmas decorations and put them up?

Or should I sit around on my dead center and play solitaire on the laptop?
 
It's foggy so everything looks wet like it's been raining... I've got a hospital appointment later in the next county.. which means driving in rush hour and in the dark to get there.. now I don't yet mind driving in the dark, but the dark and fog and rush hour traffic is no fun...

I;ve got 2 layers on.. top and bottom.. even 2 pairs of socks on.. so I don't have to turn the heating on .. later when I go out, I won't have so much clothing on.. because the hospital is always overheated.. , altho' it'll be interesting to see if that's the case since Energy bills have risen 115 % this year..

I'm nervous. My brand new downstairs neighbor has been starting up with me over perceived noise between 8:45 AM and 10 AM. She's been banging on my door, started leaving notes stuck to my door. She's making me nervous. I do not answer the door, don't want a war, but it seems inevitable.

How strange. I'd be "starting up" with the leasing office/landlord/whomever is in charge.

Still makes me nervous. If she really starts up, my son, who is a shareholder, will talk to her. If I talk to her I might eat her. I can be very dangerous, and I don't have the strength for a war anymore. I try to ignore most things. Protecting my own mental & physical health.
 
Bed made, litter box cleaned, showered, dressed, breakfasted and still all at sea about what to do next.

When I look out at the garden, it all seems so daunting. Thought I was doing myself a favor by planting perennials. The difference between perennials and annuals is that annuals only need to be taken care of in summer. Perennials have to be taken care of all year round. Sigh.

Somebody puhleez light a fire under me!
 
Today will be a quiet one for me. I have a cold, and haven't had one for 6 years! Got it two days ago, negative covid test, just typical cold symptoms. I have just canceled my lunch date with three gals, don't want to be coughing at the restaurant and spreading germs. So, will stay in, lay low, and know my antibodies are working again to protect me for another few years....I'd almost forgotten the symptoms, but it's coming back to me now.:)
 
Running around today…
Micki goes for her dental at 8:30, have been getting stared at, no breakfast, water, as well as no bedtime snack last nite 🙁…..Shaalee goes for her grooming at 10:30……pick Shaalee up at 12:00.
Pick up Micki at 5:00…..get her to do her jobs, when we get home…..give her a tiny bite to eat.
Granddaughters birthday supper after that.
Get home about 8:00, do our evening stuff, play, etc. if Micki has lost her attitude by then…..Shaalee will be happy, she always is after her grooming.
