Got up at 5:06 this morning. It's light when I wake up, I love this time of the year! The sun came up at 5:45 this morning, love when it's early up and late down!! Did dishes and checked facebook and my blog. We ate breakfast at 6:20. I take a thyroid pill every morning and have to wait an hour after taking it to eat. Sometimes John is starving by breakfast time, but he won't go ahead and eat early.
John bought concrete this morning and mixed some up and we poured another slab next to the back Casa wall where the cement was sloping towards the house. Didn't matter when it was inside, but now that it's outside we don't want water standing next to the adobe wall.
We took a load of trash to the dump after we finished the pour. We had some deconstruction debris to get rid of and it cost $17 to dump it! We've had several expensive loads of stuff from the roof and walls!
Had lunch and John took his daily nap, then we took Mom's photos back to her that I've been copying. She was amazed that I got done so fast! That's about all I've done since I got them so I could get them back. Brought home a few more to do, she had them in her cupboard. She was upset about the gravel she had dumped in her driveway. It's too thick and she got stuck in it a couple times.
Read for a while, then we started supper, taco salad again. Watched Cheers while we ate, we've watched the entire show before, but it's been long enough we could watch again and not know what was going to happen. One of the perks of getting old, we can't remember, LOL!
Messed with the computer for a while, it's giving me troubles I don't know what's up with it, Andy is going to come tomorrow and undo the partition and make the c drive bigger, it's saying I only have a GB left! A few days ago I had 16 left.
Got a call from Mom, she just talked to Robbie and they are releasing her. They tested her for pancreatic cancer and she doesn't have that, but they don't know what she does have. She has trouble with her legs, can't feel them and has trouble walking and has lost control of her bodily functions. They said she has a tumor on her spine and some in her brain, but they don't know what kind. Russell is going to come get her and take her to Utah where she will go in a hospital up there that is supposed to be good at treating cancer. I'm not sure they have decided she has cancer, I've heard she has it in her spine but not her brain and the other way around. Hope they figure it out soon!
Took our nightly melatonin and magnesium and it's almost bedtime. Another day in the life over, time goes by so fast!
I was thinking back to a year ago and the things we were doing, I can sure see a decline in both our health in the last year! Our knees are bothering us, John had shots in his knee a while back and it helped, but he has a hard time doing anything on his knees now and working at Casa has made them hurt again. Mine has started bothering me more. I decided to try taping mine a while back, it was hurting all the time and I was having a hard time walking. I have been amazed at how much it has helped! It cut the pain level way down and I can walk easier. I mentioned it to John and he had me tape his and he says it has helped him too! It's great to find something that helps without medical intervention! John's track record with surgeries isn't good, he has complications after and doesn't want to go through it again if he can help it! Me either.
