Sunday and Monday

I didn't even turn on my computer yesterday! Jon had the day off but was in terrible pain from his back. He spent the day on the couch. Jess and I watched church on FB, I read, went out and got a carry out for our lunch, read some more, took a nap, (Jess, too) fixed a light dinner, read more and went to bed. That about wraps up yesterday.  

Now today, Monday, was totally different. Jon worked. Jessie and Jennifer did Valentine crafts and book work and I went to Marysville to visit my cousin, Linda. When I got home, Jennifer's daughter, Jennae and the toddler they are taking care of came in the house to look at the books I have for anyone to take. That took up about 45 minutes. While they were there I went to get a glass of pop I had on the counter and tore my finger open on an edge of the kitchen sink that I didn't know existed. Now I know. It's a deep cut and wouldn't stop bleeding. Nurse Jon fixed me up with steri strips and bandaids. We'll see how it is in the morning. 

Just after the girls left Jess and I took Jon to the doctor's office. He couldn't see our regular doctor but another associate. Thankfully, it was only 2 miles from our house. Unfortunately, it took him almost an hour to see the dr. Jess played on her iPad and I parked under a parking lot light and read. We picked up his medicine on the way home, as well as a McDonald's drive thru dinner. Not what was planned for our WW dinner, but it was late and we were all starved. Oh, well. I did good the rest of the day. 

Another Beautiful Day

The sun shone so brightly it was almost too bright to look outside at the snow! We didn't go out, though. It was pretty cold. 

Jessie played on her iPad, took a nap and worked in her sticker Find-It book. 

Jon was in terrible shape. He's been in quite a bit of pain in his lower back. He was unable to get out of bed this morning. He had to roll over and land on the floor first. Oh, dear! The poor guy is a wreck!

I finally finished Jessie's checkbook work for the year (Feb 20 to January 21). I don't have to do the annual report I used to but I still have to keep track of every penny she spends. It's all on Excel sheets and thankfully in the basement. I also finished a book that I started a couple days ago. That's about it!

Jessie's Day Out

I was supposed to spend the day with Chris but we had snow last night and the wind was strong. I slept all night in bed last night and my back hurt so I cancelled. What a wimp!

Jennifer still came and took Jessie to Leo's for breakfast with Brent, his mom and Tom, his aide. After they ate they went bowling. Both Brent and Jessie had a GREAT time. They sure love each other! Best friends since elementary school!

I worked on Jessie's checkbook since I was behind by 4 months. I'm still not finished because I took a break this afternoon and had a nap. My eyes were bothering me. 

Jon worked 12 hours today and just got home. He is in very bad shape tonight with pain from his RA. I can always tell from his eyes and tonight he's not even moving well. He's on call this weekend, so I pray that no one calls in so he can have a good 2-day break.

 

Days Go By So Fast

A lot of people might not think that the days go by fast, but I sure do. Jess and I began our day with breakfast then Speech (after a long month-long break while Joyce was in Cuba!). I was planning on coming home for lunch but thought Joyce might like to have lunch with us so we went to Romeo Family for a nice inside-meal. I got gas in the van on the way home and picked up the mail in case we can't get out tomorrow because of the snow that's predicted. The rest of the afternoon went by quickly doing odds and ends and paperwork. Jon worked and looked exhausted when he got home. All 3 of us have achy bones tonight thanks to the weather change. Yuck!

Jessie Is SOOOO Much Happier

There has been a huge difference in Jessie since she's been going out more. She is happier. MUCH happier. Today Jennifer and Jessie met Brent, his mom and aide at Leo's for lunch. Jessie gave Brent multiple smooches on his cheek and when she finished he let out a big woop! He's been happier, too. Jess and Jennifer also shopped at Michael's and bought several more crafts to work on. 

I had Bible Study this morning, a quick drive thru lunch then I shopped for necessities at Walmart before I had my thyroid ultra sound. After I got home, I checked my e-mail and it must have been a very slow day at Beaumont because I already had the results. Then after dinner I got a message from my doctor that she saw the results and we'll do a repeat in one year because there wasn't anything significantly different, except for a new nodule in the center of my throat. Maybe that's the reason I always feel like there's something in my throat! 

Jon worked and was pretty sore and painful when he got home. He thinks it's because of the storm system heading our way (super cold weather). Today was a BEAUTIFUL, sunshiny day. 

Lunch INSIDE A Restaurant

While Jane took Jessie to the Rec Center swimming, to her house to see their new dog, Pita Pit for a carry out lunch with the ducks (who weren't there!) and Debby's Dollar, Jon and I were out for several hours, too. We went to the bank, Walgreen's, the Vet for Darla's meds, Vince and Joes and home to put away the groceries. Lunch was thoroughly enjoyed INSIDE Art and Jake's. (Restaurants were finally able to open to 25% capacity yesterday. The 3 weeks turned into almost 3 months!) It was so good to be back in a restaurant and with other people! From there we went to church for me to look through some books that were donated. I brought 3 boxes home that I will see go to good homes. One must be careful who they give books to. The post office was our last stop of the day.

When we got home the sun was shining, I went out to the deck with the books and ended up reading out there for about an hour. It was so nice! I'm really enjoying our 3-season room that can sometimes be used in the 4th season.  

Getting Jessie Out Of The House

As is usual, Jessie was falling asleep during breakfast and doing book work. I suggested to Jennifer that she take her to Debby's Dollar, just to get her out of the house and some fresh air. 

Before they could leave, the van needed cleaning off due to our "snow storm" all of about an inch or so. Jess seemed to enjoy doing that job. 

They went to Debby's Dollar and it went well except that she was so excited to get out that she was super loud. Everyone noticed and the gals that work there that know her wondered why she was so wound up! 

Jessie got a couple crafts and the Hello Kitty flag you see in the picture. They also drove through McDonald's to get a pop. The rest of the afternoon was the "fall out" of her being out of the house. She talked constantly for about 5 hours straight.

Jon had the day off and rested. He wasn't feeling that good.

I did a LARGE amount of paperwork and computer work. I'm very pleased with what I accomplished. Tomorrow Jon and I are going out. Woo Hoo !!!
