Dad missed sitting on his recliner yesterday morning, and he couldn’t get back up off the floor, which necessitated a call to my sister and brother in law (they both work local) then an ambulance ride to the hospital. They pumped Dad full of fluids and nutrients and he was better last night when we left at 9. Progress is what we need and so far, that is what we have. My niece and Jenni (an Oncology nurse and a Pharmacy Tech) both agree on the nausea treatment, just need to get the doctor(s) on board. If he eats, his strength will return.
Jenni drops off her Charger for major surgery and I’ll be picking her up after work, I agreed to buy a small train set with 2 transformers and few cars and a Beep for $40. The Beep is worth that alone.
We will run to the hospital for a visit then home for the night. Jenni works in the morning, I’ll need to fix her HHR, the windshield wiper on the passenger side is inop…should be a simple fix.
My younger brother, late of the USMC, will be flying in tomorrow afternoon. More backup and relief for Mom…
Well, let me start work, I’ll be bugging out early so
It stayed very cloudy last night so no freeze. High today 50, 70 is normal! The good news is it will hit high 50’s and sunny for Sunday, daughter’s wedding day!
Good news. City contractor showed up on our block yesterday afternoon and picked up much of the tornado debris! The truck with grapple and trailer were are big as a rr hopper car! Huge! A Cat front end loader with a claw (Kev!) moved all the debris to one spot (and not in front of my house, yea!) so the big machine could access it since we live at the end of a circular. They filled the truck/trailer and left a dump trucks worth of debris. It was still drizzling but I was able to get out and rake up 6 big bags of leaves/twigs and pick up all the big stuff they left behind at my house and the neighbor’s to throw on the remaining pile. Washed down my sidewalks of all the dirt.
Anj - continued prayers for your dad…good to hear there is a bright spot!
Spent this week trying to do the fall yardwork with much help from Mrs due to my 10lb limit. Most of the bulbs rotted due to excess moisture but got out what was left. Got the worst of the leaves sucked up, the ones in the bushes are going to be mulch, also winterized the camper.
Predicted cold weather and not much oil in the town house tank so I built fire even though the chimney and furnace need cleaning. I’ll do that after I’m able.
Last year went to a wonderful Lion King Jr. show at junior high. This year went an equally lousy Frozen Jr. Not sure what happened between the two, but that was an hour and an half I will never get back. Complicated day all way around. Cold. I hope everyone has a good day.
Frost on the pumpkins, boys. This has certainly been the most “trying” week of 2019 for fifey, both at home and at work. Will be on both trains today, which makes for a long one. I’ve come to dread Turkey Day…
Good morning from a sunny and bright North Bluff.
We are getting a two-day break from the January in November weather will hit 50 today, still below no
Did not waste today. Went to Indy to watch twin niece’s last marching band show. Their school won state. Good to see their run end with a win. Went to Mass afterward and had nice chicken supper at Cracker Barrel. I hope everyone has a good day.
Mornin’ boys. Sunny & 31 in the Potomac Highlands. Nice trains yesterday. Big crowd for day trip, then full cars for the Murder Mystery at night. Nice passengers on both, made for nice experience for staff. Gonne be busier than a one-armed-paperhanger this week, at the yard.
Mornin’ boys. Sunny & 37; supposed to get to 60. Will be at rail yard all day trying to get train decorated for PE.
I never liked the paint scheme of PE (greyish-blue and cranberry red). I do however like the special edition 15th anniversary that Lionel is selling. Still not getting one.
Banksie - Thanks for the heads-up, but my dancecard is pretty full through the New Year. I definitely will be at the March meet in Altoona.
[oX)] I shall put on my special eye protection to observe Mercury.
