I woke up this morning feeling crummy, headache, sore throat, just yucky. I have a safeway delivery so when I woke up early I cleaned up the kitchen, refilled my water and soda bottles, cleaned up four kitty throw-ups on the floor, made some breakfast, and cleaned up the balcony. I put the umbrella up to shade the house and closed the drapes, I think it is supposed to get up to 90 today. I am just waiting for the delivery so I can go back to bed and he just called to say he is running late, about a half hour. Darn I could have been in bed all this time. Oh well, I remembered to order ice cream so maybe I will have some when he gets here, LOL.

Good job, Landi! I hope you got your nap. Dipo, Darren and I both woke up that way and I think I slept funny cuz my neck was all kinds of sore. We had a fire round here somewhere and I think that caused quite a few of the sinus probs. So lazy day for us. I read and watched some tv. Caleb was at the beach and I ended up dropping Kota off at my sisters to play with the nieces (she decided to spend the night.) Not a very productive day at all.

Landi!! I have had my kitchen in bad shape more times than I like to think. congrats on the clean. Now take some fly lady advice and set a timer each day and keep it that way. (I have found that as little as 5 min a day works.)

Monday's Mission Not doing too much today, did a quick clean on the kitchen and the kids picked up the living room. Nieces are coming over for a few hours to play. That's about my day.

OH, I totally forgot about this today. Thanks for posting the mission, Wargod. Yesterday I ran the dishwasher early, my sister came and took the loveseat for her home, I unloaded the dishwasher and made myself do the load of laundry I have had ready for over a week! My sister cleaned the house today, so I don't think I will have anything to take care of tonight when I get home.

Yay Dipo! Quiet night! The only thing I really accomplished was running by my aunts. Sis and her family is going out of town so I'll be doing aunts insulin shots for the next few days. Sis had to show me how to do it. Oh yeah, this is gonna go well.

(((War))) I think you've mentioned issues with doing that kind of stuff, like some of those medical thangs, in the past. Will be rooting for you that the next few days fly by fast!

Tuesday's Mission Bisc, thanks. And yes, I'm not real good with stuff like that. Thankfully aunt can handle doing her own testing so I don't have to do that, but she's way too shaky to fill the syringe and give herself a shot. Even watching sis do it tonight gave me the willies. This is why the division of aunts care works so well for me and sis, lol. I take care of errands, getting her to the dr, cleaning, laundry, shopping, and helping her with showers and sis gets shots and any boo boo's. She's good at that type of stuff and I'm worried I'll be shaking as bad as aunt! My plans for tomorrow...maybe some grocery shopping, I need more than a few things. I'll also be feeding sis' dogs, watering their plants (my bil's quite the gardner and besides aunts shots, I'm mighty worried about his plants,) and getting their mail and doing aunts dinners while sis and bil are gone. Might do some cleaning around the house but don't have all that much to do.

Yeah, I don't have much to do as well! I think I will put on a pot of beans and make some cornbread, we are having some cool weather. Wish I would have thought of it this morning then I could have used the crock pot, LOL.

Wednesday's Mission Well, I did my first shot and was pretty shaky, at least before and after giving it to her. She didn't scream or anything so I guess I did ok. Funny Dipo, I'm throwing some pork and bbq sauce in the crockpot tomorrow for bbq pork sandwiches. Kota has her first fall ball practice and I figured that would be a good easy meal. Haven't decided what to make with it, maybe a spinach salad. Since I have to fill out paperwork for Kota and offered to help out with team mom stuff, I have to be at practice and will be dropping off aunts dinner and doing her shot a little early tomorrow. I'm going to pick up around the house, throw sheets in the washer, and probably sweep and mop the floors.

Good job on the shot! I ended up going to bed early, watched one of my tapes and soaked the pintos. I will finish cooking them tonight when I get home. Not much else to do, I might tape up the bathroom so it is ready for paint this weekend. I need to touch up a little where the stain got on the paint behind my cabinets, and I still need to stain the one part I missed, so I need to tape around that, and I had spackled a few spots and they need paint. So that is probably a good project for tonight and will fit into the 15 minutes timespan.

war, ask your aunt's doctors for the insulin pens, then all you have to do is put the needle on, dial the units you need and inject. no problem of shaking, because the cartridge is always there. aunt could then do them herself even.

Landi, she had those, supposed to have them now but the dr's office messed up the prescription so right now she's using the regular ones until they get it all fixed. She can't even give those to herself because her tremors are so bad. She doesn't just shake (which is basically 24 hrs a day,) she has large, jerking/twitching motions as well which are the real problem. She takes a sedative (thats the type that calms down people, right?) and it helps some, but if she took enough to make the shaking/jerking/twitching stop completely she'd do nothing but sleep all day.

Thursday's Mission Took my aunt her dinner and gave her her shot, still gives me the heebies. Took Kota to her practice, that went well. There's two girls from a league in Palmdale she hadn't played with before and then two girls (twins) that have been her friends since kindergarten that have not played on a team (though they do know how to play,) other than that she's played with the other 8 girls before. Should be a good, strong team. Tomorrow will be picking up around the house and that's about it. Oh and aunts dinner and shot.

Friday's Mission Well I got through the last one today. Then she tells me someone from medi-care is coming to the house tomorrow and I need to be there. Not sure if this is her social worker (little soon in the year for that) or what since she didn't have any more info or if she's known about it for a while and just didn't mention it. I'm going to have to change some plans, but since she didn't have any more info on who it was or what they want, I certainly wouldn't let her be there alone. Stuff like this worries me, I've gotten phone calls at her house where people throw around medi-care or home health care and after listening to them for a bit find out it's just some salesperson counting on an elderly person being confused. Usually if it's her social worker, they send me a letter, her a letter, and call to set up an appt. So I'll be at her house til whoever it is shows up. I do have to take the kids to get their labs done, both are fasting tonight and unhappy with me about it. They've got a derm appt on Monday. Kota's got practice in the afternoon. That's about it for plans for tomorrow.

Yeah on the shots! You did it! I loaded up and ran the dishwasher, got through my closer tape and that was it. Just watched some BB live feed until I went to bed at 9 to catch project runway.

Yep, did it, hope to never have to do it again, but if I have to, I can. So far today I've taken the kids to get their lab work done and spent a couple hours at my aunts cleaning and whatnot at her house. I've got to go back this weekend and help her with a shower and vacuum the floors cuz the vacuum is completely stopped up. I'm going over to the rant or vent or gripe thread to talk about her appt.

Monday & Tuesday's Missions Sorry, I've been a lag! Today I took the kids to the dermatologist (went well,) took my aunts laundry back to her, did a tiny bit of grocery shopping, and took Kota to practice. Tomorrow is banking/shopping day for my aunt. Probably won't get too much else accomplished with the house or errands.

Oh we were both bad, I don't think that I even came in here yesterday, LOL. I ran the dishwasher, got a Safeway delivery, hauled out some trash and recycling and watered all the plants (it got hot when I wasn't looking).

LOL, I didn't think about it til yeah, almost 1am this morning. Did banking for my aunt, my goodness it was busy! There were 25 people in front of me, and four tellers open. I was there close to 40 minutes. Luckily I had told aunt I was going straight to Costco after the bank, instead of running the money home to her first to split up so I saved a little time on driving. Then Costco was insanely busy today. I did drop off Caleb's prescription, but I can't pick it up til the 6th, or I can pick it up but would have to pay $260 for it. Insurance won't pay for it til the 6th. Oy. Oh and wrote a bunch of checks for aunts bills and it wasn't til I was writing the bank checks that I realized I put 8/3/11 as the date on all of them, lol. Need to go back over all the bill checks and change the date to 2010!

LOL, on the date, that is such a bummer. So tonight I will unload the dishwasher, watch my tape (I think it is 5 hours), catch up on the forum and make some dinner. I was busy at work today so didn't get to keep up on BB.

Wednesday's Mission Heh, isn't that the silliest thing? The wrong year...in August! In January that is an understandable mistake, in August it's just nuts, lol. I cleaned the kitchen (even did the floor) and called it quits when I realized I was out of a lot of my cleaners. Took Kota to her practice, then came home to cook dinner. Decided to go by the store tonight for the cleaners, that way I won't have to stop mid-cleaning tomorrow to go get them. I'm planning on a thourough cleaning of the house tomorrow. I don't have anything else planned until tomorrow afternoon/evening.
