D D Today...my sister Nancy

would have been 70.    It's hard to believe that she has been gone 18 years. 
The C Word is UGLY!  I shit you not!

SO IS THIS! 


Estimate will be ready this p.m.  
Hope I survive the SHOCK. I shit you not!

It's been nothing but an unending wave of phone calls and people. 
Home Health Care person will come Tues and Friday mornings 8 to 9 a.m.  
Occupational Therapy will be here 2 days next week.
Nurse will come again Sunday and another one or two days next week.
Hubby has an appointment with his primary doctor Tuesday at 11:30 a.m.
Physical Therapy will start, BUT WHEN?  The nursing home didn't ask for him to have one.  Instead of saying they were INEPT the VNA said it must have been an oversight.  Yeah right!
I didn't get breakfast ...didn't even get to finish my 2 cups of coffee.
The attorney came as I asked him to ONTIME  10 a.m.
My long time neighbors ( have lived here longer than I have ) came over to be witnesses for the POA of Medical decisions and his Living Will.   I decided yesterday that I MYSELF needed a WILL.  Hubby made his out when his kids were 3 and 5 so that I would be the one to oversee that they got taken care of in the event of his demise. Mine will be ready to sign next week....and pay for. ;0)
Van...hubby's elderly friend visited him while the VN was here.  The entire morning went by in a FLASH!
Yesterday I spent a good hour and a half at the bank, depositing the checks and they entered all info as to my POA so that I will not have to show a copy of my POA each time I do banking. 
Then I rented a SafeDeposit Box. 
ABOUT TIME YOU SAY!!!!!!!!

Now I need to get my ass in gear and collect what I want to put in it so that it doesn't get FEET and WALK.
I need to familiarize myself with the ATM machine, so that I don't keep alot of cash around.   I know you are not suppose to put money in those, but a couple of hundred ???? What is it with me that I have to be able to see cash and not an ATM card to know that I have money available to me ??? 
I am such an OLD FART in that sense.    Although.....the attorney said you wouldn't know I was about to hit 75 ................or was he just being polite;0) 
I made my son in FL the Executor of my Will.   If things were the way or should I say that IF my daughter was like she was up until about 6 years ago.....SHE would have been Executrix.   I made the stipulation that she can live here 3 months after my death ( IF I still have this place then ) then she has to VACATE the premises and the house and  vehicles, etc are to be SOLD and split 9 ways.  Then we went down THAT ROAD that if one of them is deceased before I am...whom do I want to get their inheritance. Wife, children or in case of no wife ( such as Randy) it gets divided 8 ways. 
Attorneys advise to me was SPEND IT YOURSELF.

Hubby still hasn't had a BM. This morning at 8:30 he woke and urinated anddddddddddd since that time....NOTHING! Which sure the shit has been easier on moi, BUT it SURE AS SHIT...can't be good for him. :0(
Which brings me now to 1 p.m.  
Jill is working until 5 I think she said. She stayed home yesterday and mowed the lawns after 7 p.m.
This enabled me to take off with Tracie and wander around the Burlington Coat Factory and owwwwwww and awwwwwwww in the Baby Department. Some things made their way into my cart. :0) 
Then we ate a LATE SUPPER of Gai Poo Lo Mein washed down by Diet Coke for moi and Sprite for her. 
Jill even did some laundry yesterday. Oh yeah....it was The Day After being SHIT FACED. 
I haven't said nothing YET!  The key word here is YET.

While I am enjoying having hubby alseep......I MUST,MUST,MUST wake him and force him to drink fluids. He had 2 coffee's, Lorna Doone cookies after he woke, a bottle of cranberry juice, a double batch of oatmeal for lunch at 12:30 right after everyone left and NO PEE...NO SHIT...excuse the PUN. :0)

Randy has been doing alot of ? ( some type of work ) outdoors. Plants to be moved, maybe he did that.
He wants Logan's room cleared out ASAP or sooner so that he can tear that entire wall off.  Just as everyone was arriving he decided to tell me what needs to be done. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Earlier he called and said he was looking at this window and that for the front of the room and side. I had to yell NO. Cripes... I want a bedroom, NOT a sunroom which it would have been if he had his way.  As it is I agreed to a skylight with the carpenter/builder.


That's All Folks!

  1. wow, so much going on..glad you made your will. We always had one and made a new one after Pat died, but it's also easy enough when you have just one to worry about, but even with the two it was straight forward..everything got split up evenly.
    Hope you have a good night ♥

  2. You've got me thinking now. I've never made myself a will, never wanted to think of one. Hubby has one, but not me. I think it is time I did so. That sure looks like a lot of work that needs to be done.

  3. Gosh I'm tired reading all that and I'm not even out of bed yet!
    Glad you got the will sorted. I know how things can go bad amongst kids when parents die, I've seen in happen in my own extended family, not pretty.
    Hope the wall repairs aren't too costly for you and you get a fair deal.

  5. Sounds like your getting your shit together on the money and dam your house would do this when you don't need more stuff to pile up on you. I admire you learning to use the card instead of keeping cash around. It sounds like your making some good decisions. On your hubs I was wondering if you can help him go to the bathroom, this sounds gross but people who are paralized need there anus stimulated I don't know if your suppose to with his condition. But it's putting on a glove and poking your finger in there a little ways and just going round and round on the entrance. This poor man cannot keep eating and drinking with nothing coming out!! Your probably laughing right now aren't you (smile) anyhoo I hope you just keep pushing along and hanging in there. Hugs Pearl
