Wednesday, July 30

I took my daughter to get an MRI Monday.  We are waiting to hear from the Dr.  Still don't know what will need to be done.  She is a bit a of a wreck with all the waiting.  She is hobbling around and working from home.

I went to see Cowboy yesterday.  He was in good spirits.  I played a gig for the general population in the AM and then repeated it after lunch for the memory unit.   I went heavy on fiddle tunes and I think they really enjoyed it.  This one fellow wanted to buy my fiddle.  Later he asked me if he gave me $1000 would I teach him to play like I do.  Sometimes these guys can be a hoot.

One of the ladies is really worried today.  She is there every day to feed her husband as he cannot manage it himself. The staff feeds those that need help but she likes to do it herself.  She lives nearby. Yesterday he just wouldn't wake up.  At one point he ate a little bit of food and then fell into deep sleep.  She said he is really going down.  She said "I don't know how to do this" with big tears in her eyes.  She is such a nice person and he is very sweet.  He used to give me a kiss on the cheek and once he asked me to dance.  Now he rarely lifts his head and just seems to be in a stupor.

It is rainy today and much cooler.    I haven't done much.  Did go to Home Depot and got some "stump killer" .  We are going to treat all the little tree stumps that are being created in the yard so we can get them out.

I also found a new door guide for the sliding door on the pantry, a big box for my daughter to pack up a fan she is giving to a friend, and bought 10 LED bulbs.  I am on a mission to reduce our power bill and if they deliver as advertised, they should last longer than I will  (21 years).  They are not cheap but use far less power than conventional bulbs.  Need to replace every light in this house.  It is filled with the old conventional lights.
