Good morning!

Hope you have a good day Joe.

Best friend and another friend went to the beach but I passed. Need to get some chores like meal prep and some gym time in. Might be a rebel and not sweep and mop this week.

Got a notice I will stop accumulating PTO time in a few weeks. I missed the cash out option that ended in August. Might have to call out or ask for a day off here and there. I do have a vacation coming up in November.

Have a great day!

Good morning. It's foggy and mild this morning. Yesterday was quite smoky, making my throat and eyes burn. The smoke seems to have shifted for now.

We volunteered at the demonstration garden yesterday. I left a little early to accompany sis to her PCP appointment. She got a bunch of lab work done to look into why she is feeling so tired. And today I am taking her to the cardiologist in Seattle. I hope I can find a nice place for lunch.

My neck and shoulder are sore from helping with fruit trees. There is a lot of looking up and reaching involved. I laid down with a headache yesterday afternoon, and woke up disoriented after 2 hours. I guess I was really tired.

I could very easily go right back to sleep now that I have had my first cup of coffee. But, instead, I have to get the Nannie-person up and dressed and fed. The new aid is coming today; I can't say I am happy about the hours being 1:30 to 6:30, I know she has to do it that way because she gets off her other job at 1 PM and then comes here. I will have to be getting Nannie's supper ready around 6:30, and I want to watch the local news at 6 PM. I also have dishes to do and MY laundry, but mostly I feel like lazing around and sleeping some more, but alas I can only ignore my chores for so long before they get to be TOOOOOO much.....which it seems to do so a LOT of the time, for me. Oh well.

I wonder if *I* will EVER get a "vacation" from this, but actually I know that I never will, until, well, you know....UNTIL....Nannie's "end". And then it will be all the legal stuff regarding the will, the house, the property, and all that goes with that. UGH. But it will be what it will be. I just can't help but wonder WHEN it will be. They say "be careful of what you wish for" and I'm sure right now I don't realize all that it will entail. Nevertheless, I feel what I feel and I'm entitled to that much because I have REALLY put in my time and then some!

Okay, we all know the 'Woe is Me' song I sing so much, so I will stop here, get dressed and go downstairs to my fate. How dramatique!

Hot (87) and sunny again here. Hubs has enjoyed having cooler weather for painting the boat and I guess we have cooler days coming again.

J22, hope the cardiology appt went well and you found a good lunch spot!

Yes, yay to progress on repairs to the condo.

Hope you have a good night out, Joe.

Speaking of nights out, tomorrow the book club meets at an Irish pub. Naturally, 32 miles away for me.

I'm feeling anxious and think it's related to all the upcoming things on the calendar. So afraid I'll forget something/not be prepared. Last night I was feeling fatigued and short of breath. Blood pressure was normal and heart rate at the time I checked it around 90. I sure felt funny, though. I had stopped at the store for a few items and realized after I was home for a while that I left my phone. Fortunately, someone had turned it in. I suppose I left it in the cart. Ugh.
