Oh that's a great help, Kt. Ha ha! Maybe I'll be able to watch it from Heaven. I did miss this one. I'd heard someone say it would be early this morning but I didn't know what time. I woke up at 4 and again at 5, and got up and went to the west windows to look both times but it was just a full moon, no eclipse. I've lost some enthusiasm for celestial things anyway, since I can't see them very well. I'm hoping that will improve after my cataracts are removed.
Even worse, now I can't see to read a lot of things, as I mentioned yesterday. Kat, I do have a magnifying glass and I use it for small things like microwave instructions and prescription bottles, but when I tried moving it around on the sheets of documents, I started getting sick from the movement and it was too hard to follow the lines and columns, etc. anyway. I finally broke down and contacted my older son (an attorney who has been helping me some with legal things over the past few years) and asked him right out if he could come out sometime and help me with this, hands on. He said of course, he had been planning to do that right along. But I didn't know that!! I don't like to ask my kids to leave their jobs and families to come out here, and almost never do. He may come this Saturday. That's a big relief.
Noel, you asked about my husband, thanks. Overall, he seems to have mellowed out. I don't know if all the meds have finally gotten him into a better balance or what, but he has been pleasant and calm most of the time when I'm there, for the past week or so. However, the fly in the ointment is physical therapy. Medicare is shutting him down a month or so before his time would be used up, because he has refused right along to participate in therapy. Saturday I had a talk with him and explained the financial implications. He understood and said he would do the therapy if I wanted him to. So on Monday I told the therapist and she came to try to take him to therapy. His response was to go off the rails again and adamantly refuse to do it. So that was that! Shortly afterwards, he was back to being all nice to me, as though nothing had happened.
Robin and Squirrel, I feel for you and all those reports you have to do. I don't like paperwork at all. Like Poirot, I'm having a hard time finding the space and getting things as organized as I want them.
Noel, you need to go to bed!! Hope you can soon.
Manda, thinking of you and hoping those bedbugs never appear!
Lil0, you've been on my mind. I'm hoping you get a good report at the doctor.
Gotta get going--to the nursing home today.
