MIL Update
There are so many details that they are seeping into our every conversation. Movers are hired, hard conversations happen tomorrow as well as an assessment by the community nurse, a tour of her new apartment and the community. DH has written a document outlining answers to all the potential questions. Home health was brought on […]
Another Fall
And we wait to hear from someone at the ER. My MIL was able to call my DH to let him know she had fallen again. Much like the last time, this took place on a walk and she hit her head. Also like last time, we don’t know if she got home and called […]
Laundry Goddess
Eight loads… One of them being the Navaho blanket that covers Stella’s couch… Cat barf 🙄. There is a product called Synthropol that picks up dye from water. This is why I could wash my mama’s blanket in cold water and not ruin it. Yeah, we left some laundry here, made lots there, and the […]
April 2024 Island Trip – Day 8
With two trailers to close up, a cat to keep happy, a couple of extra chores to do, we have decided not to make a run for the 11AM boat. We’ll take our reserved spot in the 2PM boat. We came home to cat barf last night… Something I knew was a risk, but hadn’t […]
April 2024 Island Trip – Day 7
A long-standing item was crossed off the list today. Replacing all outlets in the lower barn. It was hard won. Our GC discovered that electricity was flowing along the neutral on our over burdened circuit #6, even when the circuit was turned off, but not as much. Like you could touch the wire and feel […]
April 2024 Island Trip – Day 6
Our general contractor (GC) has buttoned up all the sheetrock in the lower barn, AND put the sheetrock corners on the opening between the main space and the former darkroom. I can see, in my mind’s eye, the space painted and looking as fine as it can given the big barn door doesn’t seal, and […]
April 2024 Island Trip – Day 5
Today was my chill day. I slept in. Over breakfast I figured out which shop-hop (from 2008) quilt blocks to make, did the dishes and put them away in order to have the space needed to turn Stella into a sewing studio, and then after figuring out which fabrics were going to make up for […]
April 2024 Island Trip – Day 4
Today I found out that the local auto parts store does not want to recycle out big deep cell marine battery, and they had new windshield wipers for the truck. This will keep us from having an accident on a misty day, trust me. I checked the apple trees, and they do indeed have tent […]
April 2024 Island Trip – Day 3
Guess what I learned today??? Most of the businesses that are closed on Sunday are also closed on Monday 😂😂😂 (or closed for lunch…). While I found this annoying in the moment, it makes perfect sense, and is still kinda charming. I was able to pick up jigsaw blades for my DH. He then discovered […]
