Stars I think you're right, the problem will likely call for more than yogurt
Ado I've had trouble with repairing things at home too, however simple it seems on the video
Tweety that is a very low rate of boosters. Which reminds me, need to schedule mine soon
Work ended up not being bad, despite 2 meetings, thankfully one quite short. Got an early start on things and was calmer towards the end of the day
Took my lunch hour to make a broccoli bacon salad for the potluck with the gay group tonight. Stopped at the library too for a book I had reserved. Sounded interesting but after reading it found I didn't care for it
Today should be quieter, except for the potluck nothing unusual going on during work or afterwards
Think the weather is continuing the same, mid to upper 80s for the next few days

tmb~ Hey...I actually remembered when that happened and you posted about it. It was the 'permanent sitting position' you had from your clothes being frozen that clicked in my brain. BRRRRRR! I guess it was just not your 'time', thank goodness! But what an awful experience!
I also remember a cold experience I had when I was 4 years old.....my sibs and I were snow sledding down a little hill that ended in a trickling brook with three inches of water in it, and I landed in it feet first, and was afraid I was going to drown! I cried and cried when the sibs tried to get me to climb out, I could not move! One of the sibs had to run up to our house to get one of my parents to come lift me out. Guess I was 'frozen' with fear!
So, I actually slept harder than a rock until 1:20 this afternoon! And it was hard to wake up! I must've needed the sleep, being so exhausted by Nannie's questions and comments these past 2-3 days.. She has been sleeping this afternoon, for the past 3 hours. I am going to turn on the local news and will have to wake her up to eat something for supper....but I don't know what supper might be. I had to do all the dishes I have been ignoring. I kept looking in the fridge and freezer for what I might prepare for her, but so far....crickets in my brain on that subject. All she wanted for breakfast was 2 small containers of that Activia, some cranberry juice and some chocolate BOOST.
Can't remember if I told y'all that yesterday I took Nannie out in the car so I could do my errands. She was so excited to go out. Between when I got her out of the car (when we returned) and she walked (w/ assistance) through the back door and sat in her recliner....she said "Someone's car is out there"....and I told her it's MY car and we just came back from a ride....she said she hadn't been out in the car, she'd been sitting in her recliner all afternoon! THEN she said, "He's been sitting out there in that car for quite a while." I mean WHOA! She didn't remember anything that occurred barely 1 + 1/2 minutes prior! That's got to be a record, even for her! And after we ate supper, and I took the trays upstairs, a few minutes later she said something about not having had supper. I played a long and ask her what she felt like eating, and she told me she was not the least bit hungry. I just told her to tell me when she feels hungry. 🙄 I'm thinking tonight she will get some RaisinBran flakes with blueberries added, with a side-dish of watermelon chunks. Not sure yet what her dessert will be.
I gotta tell you also that she sometimes eats her cookie after dipping it in veg/beef soup, and she once dipped her fried chicken-nuggets into her ice cream. I know I did already tell you about her eating Ranch dsg with a spoon, as if it was pudding. I have concluded she doesn't have a sense of taste as well as not knowing what she is doing with her food. To me, the funniest thing is that after she is through eating her yogurt, she has to hold her spoon in her right hand while drinking her juice and BOOST from her left hand. I tell her to put her spoon down on the tray and she looks at the tray and says "there is no spoon."

BiL and SiL are taking her out for late lunch or early supper on Sunday. Her 95th birthday is tomorrow, but she doesn't realize it, and when it is mentioned, she even tells us she is NOT going to be 95! I may or may not go with them; I just told SiL I would decide on Sunday if I want to go or not. She understands about me needing time away from Nannie, and always says "Bless you!", like when I told her about the Campbell's soup can I pulled from her 'Netherlands'. We haven't had the "I-will-need-for-someone-to-cover-Nannie-on-such-and-such-a-day-because-I-won't-be-available-that-day" talk yet. But it will be presented to them both, one of these days coming up.

Oh, hey, it was a couple of years ago you told that anecdote. I tell mine more often than you do! Like I said, imagining you trying to walk in a frozen sitting position was quite a memorable image!
BTW, do you know you can click on "Quote" and then go down below (and/or above) the part you want to quote, then click on 'backspace' and hold it until everything else is erased, and disappears?

I cannot always do that on my phone in the app. It's glitchy.
