Greetings all
Another nice sunny day.
Ocean Diane what a frightful event for your friends! Terrible. It's so good of you and others to help out. Hope they are on the mend. So sorry for the lost dog. Agreed. Bucket lists count.
Liz glad you are safely on the beach. You deserve it.
DD hauling suitcases up all those stairs! I think I would have just changed clothes in the car every day. Enjoy the visit and the rest of summer.
CC glad your dad is home. Agreed that hospitals make it impossible to rest. Remember a long time ago there were signs outside hospitals that said "Quiet Hospital Zone"? Now the inside of hospitals require ear protection. I remember when DH had his VSG there was a room across the hall that had an alarm going off constantly. It was worse than an airport.
I seem to have recovered from my homicidal mood. Nothing like a sunny day and a little time in the studio to improve attitude. I made some more items and have a lot to be fired tomorrow. I ran some errands and picked up meds and dog food. Both essentials of life.
DH had another vein done today and has one more Saturday. Can't believe they are doing it on a Saturday but it's true. Us retired people don't care what day it is. So he is ecsconced in his lounger with his legs i compression stockings. He is happy and dinner is all set for tonight so I am happy.
Bonnie onward on the new house. Have you explained to Swan?
Slow day here. Thats how I like it.

Technology, our friend and foe! Glad you got some umbrella shaded beach time!
2 years ago my Aunt and Uncle loaned us their cottage in Ipswich for an entire month! What an adventure. They no longer have that cottage, so this time we're renting for just a week in Rockport Massachusetts, then staying a few days with my Aunt and Uncle in Amherst, and then back to a Boston for a few days.

They load him up with pretty aggressive antibiotics each time he gets a UTI in his kidney/stent, but it doesn't seem to keep him from getting new ones. Age and an open environment don't help no matter how careful Claudia is with changing his ostomy bag.
I will have to save the name of that cream. Biting bugs seem to love me too.

Have a terrific time. Good thing you have such a reward (visit) after lugging those suitcases.

I hope those antibiotics forestall any future complications. My SIL has a bladder cancer that requires scraping periodically. The first two times she got urinary tract infections. Since then they automatically give her antibiotics.

OMG - what a terrible set of cir****tances for your friends! Good thing they have support for their return home. You just never know.
We made it to Florida yesterday and had a great time out to dinner with our friends. We hadn't seen any of them in 2 months so they were amazed by my weight loss. I wore a dress that I haven't put on since a month after I met DH.
The plane ride was very relaxing but on our way home from the airport around mid-day DS called in panic because the internet went out at the house and the provider had to be called from DH's phone because they won't talk to anyone else. Actually they don't "speak" to anyone, but we were finally able to work with a technician via text (actually I did because DH doesn't understand technology at all). They couldn't figure out the issue so set up an appointment for this afternoon. DS ended up going to the library to work. But all is well in the end as I googled the error code and someone posted online that it was their cable splitter that was bad, so DS removed it and all is functioning smoothly. It felt like another 3 hours was taken out of my life stressing over that.
Anyway, we got to the Florida condo mid-afternoon and the work we had done in the Living Room is beautiful! There are a few last details he needs to finish which we discussed this morning but it is at a point where I can put it back together in advance of DD's bachelorette party at the end of August.
The Cape house is listed!!! Fingers and toes crossed. Two showings are already scheduled for today and an open house on Saturday.
Injection on-board today and weight tomorrow (with a different scale of course).
Spending the afternoon at the beach (under an umbrella - too hot otherwise). Have a timeous Thursday!

Yes. The stent tube is about as big around as a spaghetti strand, so it takes very little to clog it. And when you're older, especially with a foreign body connected to the outside in your kidney, despite all the sanitary protocols he gets infections. Or they never completely go away..
I think I remember those arduous steps - didn't y'all haul a sofa up those? Is your cottage the same delightful one you rented last? Have a lovely time with the kiddos; I know you will.
