So the countdown begins.
Tuesday night is my cyber Bachelorette party on Caregiver Chat. I had Ermalinda wash my Leopard print silk PJs just for the event. The beauty of the internet. Good thing we aren't Skyping - LOL.
Three weeks ago on a Tuesday, I brought the truck in for its oil change. Saturday morning, it will not start. I call our dear Carl to come see. I don't want to call a tow truck for something stupid. Carl goes over the whole engine, opens the air filter box - and this was not easy. Air filter is enclosed in a plastic box that really locks together. In there was a whole bunch of leaves, which Carl cleans out, cleans off the air filter and puts all back together. Then both of us get under the truck. That is when Carl said have your shocks checked. When the tow truck lifted our truck, some gas spilled out on the driveway. I get a call that mice have eaten through the fuel line. Monday night Chris and I pick the truck up. Bruce and I have spent weeks collecting points towards gas, so we can get both vehicles filled up and ready to go for the big week. On Thursday, we go to fill up the truck and the gas goes out on the ground. Great, now I just lost my gas points. Seems the little buggers lived in the air filter and also ate through the rubber collar to the fuel tank. So truck is now back and we still have to fill up both vehicles this week, with no gas points.
Thursday we went off to Staples for 2013 Day planner, calendars and some nice Thank you notes. Friday afternoon was the serious grooming. Today I gave the final count to the restaurant and the table layout. Bruce's caregivers are working on their own list, along with help from me, on house cleaning. LOL they are a great bunch. Told me to wash the bathroom rugs and leave them. I am not to use them this week. LOL. Friends and family have been stopping in and calling, asking how they can help, so it has been nice being able to pass off some chores.
Bill, Bob and I had to meet on my trust with the Financial Advisor. This is to protect Bruce if something happens to me. And I am looking over policies for Medigap for Bruce. There is a lot of help here on that and as I get into it, will certainly post any questions I have. Monday Bruce has dentist and Thursday we have hairdresser. Mary and girls are due in Thursday night.
Tomorrow groceries and cooking for the week.
I can't believe how into all of this Bruce is. Discusses everything with me and has an opinion on everything - LOL. He has my notebook now on his table - LOL. This is good therapy, cognitively and also a reaffirmation of our relationship.
I hope Melissa and Scotty can get me on line with the pix. If not, I will Email to those I have. Please do join us Tuesday night, should be a lot of fun. Debbie
