My sister is coming down on Tuesday, and I can stay until then without taking any additional time off from work. She’s staying until the following Monday, and my brother and sil were already coming on vacation Monday noon or afternoon, something like that. I had already taken it off for Yom Kippur, so I can fill the gap if necessary (my dad will be around but he is not super stable on his feet either, don’t want them both falling over…). I think they stay until that Thursday and I’ve been visiting on Thursdays regularly, so we’ve got them well covered for two weeks. We’ll see how it’s going then, but the PT and OT thought she’d probably be needing less help after one week
Whew!
So glad to hear it, -t! You must be relieved.
That sounds good, -t. How is she feeling?
Pretty good! She came downstairs with my dad’s help and had dinner just now (and saw the hole in the wall, she was also surprised by how big it was…). In fact, as I was typing this she sneakily moved from the chair at the table to her comfy chair by herself (2 steps, but still!). Gonna have to watch her.
That's great, -t. Often a fall results in being overly cautious so her confidence is a good thing.
Saw the best sign passing a car on the way to a soccer game yesterday.
Orwell was an optimist.
Shana Tova y'all. I have done nothing at all for Rosh Hashanah this year other than buying some apples.
With Ethan at TIFF and Dylan back at college, I am realizing how ill-equipped I am to being my own housekeeper. There are so many dishes in the sink and nobody else is going to do them! And this happens EVERY DAY??? What gives? All I did was prepare a bunch of food, how was I supposed to predict there would be consequences.
(Yes, Aeryn is almost 16 and could be helping out a lot more than they are. But only one of my children was born with the natural instinct to see a household task and get it done, and he's 200 miles away in Boston. The one still living at home takes after me and their natural instincts are to ignore household tasks if AO3 is around.)
I am not a natural Housekeeper at all. When i worked full time i had someone to clean once a week, the kids had chores, and DH has always done his share. Foolishly i thought i could manage it when i retired, and yet. The dishes, man. If i didn’t like to cook it might be better. And the robot vacuum only works if I get things out of its way.
Also, why for does my phone not capitalize my I? Sheesh!
