TERRY
As I write it is 7:45. I have covered Terry with the electric blanket as I left the room at 6:15 and then spent time reading the Naples paper and the WSJ. Now it is time to blog and then hit the courts at 9:00. After that not sure. Oh, I do want to make cheese bread as Terry's son Brian is coming Friday and that would be for him. I also have the 20 pound turkey pretty thawed and ready to brine!!! Never have I done that and I am hoping and praying that I do not ruin it! Time will tell I guess. Terry is still sleeping and I hope she can sleep for a while longer.
Here is the deal. This is going to happen. I kind of feel that when one quits doing new things life quits being enjoyable. Well I say that when a new things turns out GOOD. We will see with THIS new thing. I I may just have some back up food when we serve it as Brian will be here and I do not want him to go hungry!!! I mean, what is life without excitement? I admit my culinary skills would be classified's on the beginning level but "live and learn". Almost on the same level I did get everything to make lefse. I got the Mom Lee recipe from sister Joan. However it did not come with "fool proof" directions!!! I guess it will just be a wait and see event.
Yesterday was NOT a good day. Why?
- My tennis game was below what I would expect and that is putting it mildly BUT as one would know on the scale of "importance" tennis is pretty far down the list.
- The tech guy came and worked for over an hour only to say he could not fix it and another team must come in to rerun cable SOMETIME. We are hoping at least this week.
- I got a call from the nurse at Pine Ridge. I told her I had NOT heard from our service team for Terry. Later in the day somehow several phone messages came up on my phone BUT I promise I had my phone with me ALL the time during the day and never got them. Go figure.
- My hurt big toe made a visit to Urgent Care and it is now on two pills. Maybe it will get better with time!
- I lost an address that I need.
- etc etc etc etc!!!
There I complained enough for about a month or so, right! The good things are things like Terry is stable. We are not hurting for money at this time. We have a great home to enjoy and friends around us. We have family that are great. Well one gets the idea that the blessings of life FAR outweigh the negative things that we may encounter.
I am not sure if our weather is normal or not for this time of year. We had a low of 55 this morning and it looks like it will not climb out of the 70s today. Good for tennis but not so good for the boating people.
As I have said Brian should be here Friday PM and leave Monday AM. So I am trying to figure out what to do and what to eat. I may venture into some of what Terry says was his favorite foods growing up. Things like taco pie, cheese bread etc. With my cooking skills there may be a down side to that endeavor but time will tell. I am only hoping that IF things do not turn out Brian at least is apperceive of the effort and intent!
I am hoping that we made the right decision about Terry yesterday. Several days ago I noticed that her right leg and foot were somewhat swollen. I mentioned that to the nurse who called yesterday. She said we needed to get to the emergency room or Urgent Care as that could be the result of a blood clot in the leg. Well as Terry and I talked and looked at the leg again it was much much better. I would say the leg was NOT swollen and the foot maybe just a tiny bit. The decision was not to go as Terry was more than insistent that she did NOT want to go and even more insistent that all was fine. So I will look at it again this morning to see the state of things.
I am thinking that I need to go to the library to get some movies as Terry needs to be able to pass the time of day. Her eyes are bothering her so reading is not a good thing. She does spend time with the paper but that is about all she can do.
I do not have any ideas for food today but will need to come up with something as Terry has been eating better which is a very good thing.
I am out of time and out of words as time is ticking down to tennis and my mind is out of things to share. I still have half a cup of FP but will drink that as I get dressed.
To anyone who reads this HAPPY DECEMBER AND MAY THE LOVE AND BLESSINGS OF OUR LORD FILL YOUR DAYS AS WE COUNT DOWN TO HIS BIRTHDAY.
