Happy Thursday
I helped my mom last night and had DS drop off her clothes that I had washed for her. My dad has a nasty cold so I had DH get plain, basic, robitussin for him. While I was there I saw a large note, complete with pictures, from the OT/PT person giving staff the proper instructions on how to transfer my dad. I have been pushing to get staff properly trained. about 9:15pm the ALF nurse called and said my dad was real weak and having a hard time getting from his chair to the wheelchair. She was also concerned he had pneumonia or the cold was turning into pneumonia. She called an ambulance. I met him there and I sat with him til after 5am. Bottom line, he has a "raging" UTI. The doctor said this was probably causing the weakness. He was admitted for observation to get some antibiotics in him and give him a chance to build up some strength. I had an hour or so of sleep and I am at work. I admit I am wiped out and I will likely leave early when they discharge him.
So, after all that whining - I did get the gross garbage taken out. I made pulled pork and had the bones and schlopp to get out. I also remembered to pull the cans to the curb. I do need to re-org my car after removing the books.anyone need a microwave?

Good morning everyone!
Ohblondie, what a terrible night! I hope your dad is okay and that you can get some sleep soon.
I can't go to the vet this morning because I woke up and it was already sleeting. The porch was icy and although the sidewalk in the yard wasn't slippery yet, it probably will be soon and I won't want to walk a mile and a half in this weather, so I will have to put off bringing in the urine sample. When I can go will depend on whether we get snow or not, we seem to be at the southern edge of the storm so we might not get much.
So I need to switch gears and plan a productive day.
Diane

good morning everypony!
((( ohblondie ))) while I was packing up to move I discovered I had four microwaves. and nopony I knew wanted one! Diane I am glad you aren't out in the sleet.
my space heater just died. it's 29*F/-1*C out.
DONE: made coffee took meds made bed updated log wrote got dressed added more layers checked online balance checked calendar checked email checked notifications updated challenge
I've been doing another round of decluttering clothing and accessories, so I can give one of the dressers in my room to Lady D and gain some wall space to allow access to the laundry room/back door for the kitty. I think we'll be able to put in a cat door so kitty has escape routs. 2 likes the kitty, but needs supervision.
I need to go to the phone store this morning, but I am gonna wait until it warms up a bit.

Good morning PS!

Well, the sleet seems to have moved north and now we just have cold rain, I don't think we will get any snow at all because it the band of snow on the radar picture is much further north at the moment. I just took the dog out and although she was faster then usual, she still had to walk around multiple times before deciding where to pee...I turned the heat up one degree because the house seems so chilly today.
Next:
10 minutes on first floor Hang up last 2 calendars, which finally came, 2 months after they were ordered Bring in a 40# bag of bird seed and empty into bin Delete 30 emails

So, after multiples calls back and forth I've finally gotten the village to change the water bill to my name. It's weird how some entities will just change your name with no question, some want proof that I'm now the owner, some want my credit information. But they just called and assured me that they have changed my name and it should all be good with the next bill. One more procrastinated item to check off the list.
I'm eating lunch now. The rain continues, it's not hard, but it's the kind that periodically flings itself sideways into the window (or your face, if you're outside). It still feels chilly in here.

Well I am doing my happy dance!
the hospital just called. They gave my dad an IV and he is fully hydrated and he had an IV dose of the antibiotic. They had PT come in an assess him and he is back to his baseline transferring. His baseline still requires assistance but the ALF now has to step up and do it correctly. The hospital is arranging a wheelchair transport home. I just have to go to the drug store and get the antibiotic. I have a meeting from 630-730 then it is in bed for me! Nothing will be done tonight except dog care. And tonight I will remember to take the contacts out. They got so dry overnight while I was sitting there. Maybe I will try to finish my book.
Thinking it might be nice to have a wheelchair can that I can just roll him in and out of. (And lock him in place while driving.) It would make life so much easier.
OK - time to test something ont he system and finish my work.
