mdehnersWet! Wet! Wet! Luckily, like on Hummingbird, Royal Oaks is on the highest ground in the area. It just means we once again get to be on an island;>.Thankfully, no major Flooding in our area. The Toads hanging out in my Carnivorous Plants are happy though;>.
Gardening is sort of on hold until we get some dry days, which is unfortunate since I could really use a distraction from my folks. They're both at the "Terrible Twos" stage of Senility making pretty much EVERYTHING a screaming match. I HAD taken over their Meds but Friday they decided not to be available and when I went over Saturday, Mom was ONCE AGAIN pouring theirs 3 weeks in advance. Using a Med list that's been out of date for 3 months. I switched it for the updated one and got tired of the yelling and let her do it with my supervision. So, something that would have taken me 5 minutes max took an hr. Right now I'm picking Mom up from Dialysis on Wednesdays. Dad takes her on her days and brings her home on Monday. When my brother's in town he's been picking her up on Fridays but some weeks he doesn't get home until Friday night, which means I get a last minute call. Just a bit Stressful;>!
Blood Sugars are still not where I want them to be either. What's Irritating is that they really haven't changed even though we've upped the Insulin from 12 to 22 Units. 136ish to 129ish. Grumble, Grumble.
Got the 1st Utility bills for Ro this month. Water was about what I expected since we don't have a well here for Irrigation. Power wasn't bad but it was for a period with little need for Heat OR A/C. NOT looking forward to Summer's Bills!
Cheers,
Pat
