A friend notified me today and wondered why I have not posted. Well I have no excuses except I would think about it when it was inconvenient and forget about it when it was convenient. or maybe I am becoming a "slug".
Christmas week was pretty busy around here. My daughter and I went to see Cowboy on Monday and took the pup. She was a big hit. Cowboy enjoyed her and even tried to take her for a walk. The other residents wanted to pet her and a couple of them wanted her in their lap. We had a good visit.
Just about every day some member of the family came by to open presents. We were the location they had to work in their busy schedules. Grandson #2 and his family had to go to New Jersey that week. Her grandmother had died. We finally had Christmas for their kids on New Years day.
On Christmas day grandson #4 went with me and we drove to the home and had Christmas dinner with Cowboy.
On Sunday Cowboy's younger daughter and her four children (which includes triplets) drove down to see Cowboy with me. He couldn't remember their names and he kept confusing the older girl with her mother. We took Cowboy to Applebee's and had lunch. It was a nice time. We got him ribs and he ate every bite.
What did I do this past week? Went to the doctor for my follow up on Monday. My upper GI tract needs help. I have gastritis and something whose name I can't remember that means part of the lining from my tummy is creeping up into my esophagus. Now he says, no spicy food, no chocolate, no cola, no alcohol, don't eat for three hours before bedtime, etc. I told him he had just taken a lot of fun out of my life.
I spent quite a bit of time emptying the files of 2014 and starting to organize things for doing taxes. I spent hours looking for my paperwork for filing for homestead and I cannot find it. It is no small thing as it includes a registered copy of my power of attorney and a letter from the VA verifying Cowboy's status with them. It has got to be here somewhere!!
Grandson #4 was here yesterday and we changed the filters on the HVAC, packed up and put away all the holiday decorations and put together a lamp. Whew!
See, I have been busy.
