Stars that caregiver sure has proven to be unreliable

NJ22 glad to hear the pain is gone

Yesterday thankfully was good at work, nothing unexpected, and not too busy.  After work went to a happy hour event with the gay group, some new people there but a small crowd as their was another competing event that night

Today have a coworker off and a meeting.  Shouldn't be bad as I kept my schedule light but we'll see.  Nothing else planned today except for some exercise

Will be in the 70s again, hopefully the air quality will be better today than yesterday

Yup, I'm awake. I have 5 minutes to "relax" with a cup of coffee, then I have to go down and wake up Nannie, who, at some point this AM, got up in the dark and fell asleep sitting up in her recliner. She's down there slumped over toward her right side, out like a light.😴 Gotta get her dressed and give her the AM meds, and hike her over to the Care Center. And then? Just a few errands. Gotta get some more underpads and some more of the pudding Nannie takes her crushed meds with. I'm not declaring any other plans, because then I don't do the things I say I'm going to do  ( I jinx myself!).

Time's up! Glad the Center is only 5 miles away!

Later!

Hello all!

No Stars, "enjoy" your Nannie-free hours!  It's strange how she will get herself up at night, to sleep in the recliner!

Joe, I hope today is manageable.  Good you had some new ppl at the get-together.

Tweety, enjoy your day!

Yesterday we spent a few hours walking in the Disneyland parks.  Walking.  Sitting.  Oogling.  then eating and more walking.  Got in 13K steps.  Chatted with some nice ppl.  It was probably 74 degrees, and we had a nice breeze here and there.  Walked in Batuu (Star Wars Land) twice, saw the Stormtroopers and the Leader of the First Order doing their "thang" to maintain order and quash resistance.  

Today is Recovery Day, need to do some laundry too.  

Have a good day and evening!

Quiet day here. I went for a short jog, that felt pretty good but I've really lost endurance. Dh went to a funeral for a former coworker, and then to see his mom. I vacuumed and dusted, spot-cleaned some spots on the rugs. I spent about an hour gardening.

I talked to big sis. her, other sis and I are going to lunch on Monday. And she talked about her cancer treatment. She is having more side effects, so her Dr. Is holding the immune treatment drug, and will check a CT soon, and perhaps decide she has had enough treatment. 
 
I should try to book a haircut.

nursej22, it is surprising how little time it takes to lose endurance and strength!  Good you are getting out to exercise, though, and build it back up.  I hope your sis's cancer is quashed and she needs no more treatments.  Treasure time spent with your sisters!
