Friday Roll Call
Good day to everyone!
Not much happening on my end. I got miffed at a GNC to drove out to yesterday. It was close to home, but an hour or more from work. By the time I got there, I really needed to use the restroom. They wouldn't let me. So, I told the lady I didn't need to shop there. I wanted to see how much the Max protein powder Egg Face raves about is. I found a nearby Quizno's (like I need to smell cooked food while I'm on a liquid only diet! lol) I went back into the GNC just to check out the prices. The lady told me the washroom usage denial was a corporate thing. (I might have sticky fingers)
I had my phone interview for the hospital yesterday. They scheduled it for 4pm, but the nurse tried calling at least 3 times before that. I'm all set, as far as they are concerned. I was surprised by one of the questions "Are you now, or have you been in an abusive relationship?" Kind of an odd query.
The pool was warm again, so I did get to go swimming.
I wish you a warm and safe day.

Good for the nurse asking about abuse! We try to train health professionals to ask these questions when the respondent has a good chance of being alone so she can answer safely. You'd be surprised how many are abused. One each nine seconds! So that nurse has had good training!

I did part-time Nana duty this am. Went with Earl to our daughters at 6:30 to get the girls up and dressed and ready to go to school. Earl dropped me off here at home at 7:30 so I can work on some insurance paperwork for him. He took the girls to school but had to stick around there and drive some of the preschoolers to practice at the High School for their Christmas program on Sunday. Earl really is a saint, he never complains abut all the running around we're having to do for our daughter and granddaughters.
I have so much to do here at home. Need to finish up some Christmas gifts, clean house, bake some breads for Christmas gifts and finish shopping for Earl this weekend.
We have had to be at the nursing home 3 times this week. Earl's mom has really taken a mental downhill slide. Guess it's to be expected with the Alzheimer's but it is so hard to see her in such a "fog". Doesn't know where she is or who we are this last time, but thanked us for coming to see her. they are increasing one of her medications because she is getting aggressive with the staff and refusing to shower, let them cut her nails etc. Also they finally got her to use a cane but then she lost her glasses a week ago. Yesterday they found her glasses in another patient's room. She told the nurse yesterday she doesn;t wear glasses and they don't belong to her. She has been falling alot so I don't know how much longer before she'll be in a wheel chair.
Guess I'd better get busy here.
Hugs, Paulette
Good morning all!
Happy Friday! Its been 10 days since my surgery and I am doing pretty good. I am having a hard time getting all my protein in, but I am working hard on it. No big plans for the the weekend for me, just to maybe get out of the house for awhile! My kids want to put up our xmas decorations, so thats probably what we will do. It will be nice to sit back and watch someone else do it for a change, now if I could just get them to do it without fighting!
Have a great weekend!

Glad to see you posting again!
Looks like everyone is busy, busy, busy! It's that time of the year again....
I was hoping to go to Brookfield Zoo's Holiday Magic on Saturday but it looks like it may not happen. I don't want to walk around in the cold if it is raining out. I hope the weatherman is wrong and we have snow flurries.
So much nicer than rain when you want to be outdoors.
Sunday is Ava's 4th birthday party. She will actually turn 4 on the 19th. Since I'll be in WV then they are having her party early. I can't wait til I'm on my way to see Ian and Tyler.
Hope everyone has a great day! Keep safe and keep warm!
