Hey! I’m Baack

That little girl sure did a great job helping me. Whatever I asked her to do, she did with no hesitation. We got the pots and lids moved to another cabinet. I put stacking shelves in the cabinet so that all my cooking pots fit in one cabinet. I have larger pots that I only use occassonially that I am going to put in another cabinet with my big electric fryer and some large storage bowls. These are the things that I rarely use but when I need them, nothing else will do.
DGD#3 stayed with us from Friday night until after supper on Sunday. I brought DGS#3 home with me and he stayed until I took him home on my way to work on Monday. Had promised DGDs that I would take them to a friend’s house to go swimming, we did this on Tuesday. I brought DGD#4 home with me for a little while Tuesday night. She and DH had a fun time. About 8:30 she walked up to me and said “go now”. I asked if she was reeady to go home and she nodded yes. She is almost 28 months.
When I took DGD#3 home, much to my surprise DGD#2 asked when she could come to my house. She is 13 and has always seemed distant, even at the ages of 3, 4 and 5. She is about 5′4″ and I am only 5′, so I replied that I would have to find some tall work for her to do. On Tuesday, I told her that I had thought of something she could help me do and she seemed pleased. I am planning for her to stay from Thursday night until after supper on Saturday, if she wants to stay that long. Maybe we can develop a closer relationship.
I am a cosmetologist but have not been in a shop for several years. DGD#2 has very, very thick hair and wants a short haircut. I am not sure that I can do what she wants, so Friday I am taking her to my hairdresser. I will pay half and she will pay half.
Mother seems to be doing some better. She has been sick for about 2 weeks with congestation. She took 1 round of antibotics and was still congested, so the dr. ordered a different type and it seems to have worked really well.
I worked my 4 hour shift Monday, but just could not do it today. I lose my voice after being at work about an hour. Not only that, but today I got really hot for no reason and could not cool down, also was very weak, so I only worked 2 hours. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
Saturday, DD#1 came over and helped me work some in Mother’s room. We threw out stuff that no one could use, boxed up some clothes that could be used by someone and she took a few pieces for herself. Still have alot to do in that room as we tired to bring a part of Mother’s home here so that she would be more comforable.
Met my brother at the nursing home Sunday. It seems that we rarely see each other anymore. I know that we do, but it is in short visits.
My poor DH has had one week-end off since the first week-end in August and has been told, may not have anymore time off until the first of the year. Right, I can hear some of you know, look at all the money he is making. Money is not everything.
I had more blood work done Monday and my calcuim is still a little high and my thyroid level is too high. The dr told me to go back to the 150 strength of synthroid. Maybe one day the dosage will be right, but until then I can expect to be tired and have no energy.
Excuse the jumping from one train of thought to another, but that is just how I am.
Til next time
