OH well, No more for me, Tomorrow Oatmeal.
I began cleaning the office/sewing room, while he worked on the books. He is supposed to meet with the guys next week but I bet it will be the next. He always makes it happen, He is accurate, he is on time, and he is good at what he does, Even now at 71, his brain in that area is still sharp.
After a while I said, "I am tired now, I am going to take my nap,"As I drug myself to the bedroom.
Whew!!! I get wiped out easily.
He opened the door and told me he was going outside to work the Rose Garden.
It is a Beautiful Day. You know I am tired when I just don't care how beautiful it is, I need to relax. I sleep about an hour then I get up, slip my old jeans on and head out with him. As soon as the sun hits me I feel rejuvenated. I grab the clippers and begin cutting my runner back. I then crawl around in the rock path and pull weeds. It feels so good to be in the sun.
OH Yes, I was adequately covered. Hat, long sleeves and Jeans. Not short weather yet and I am unsure of the suns rays with radiation still inside me.
I certainly don't want to do any more damage to my skin.
He then got tired so we quit for the day, We are almost done anyway. I came in and Made dinner. We sat to eat, and he is now asleep.
So What else did I do today?
Jeanette called and we laughed and laughed about our trip to The Fun House on the San Francisco Bay. (1966) If you ever saw total fear, She had it that day. She was so little, she could not get thrown off the disc. When she went down the indoor slide, She began screaming as soon she sat down,then she stopped screaming when she stopped. She hopped up and said, "NEVER NEVER AGAIN"! And she didn't.
Oh those were fun times, By the time I got off the phone today, my throat was sore, David said from Laughing so much.
Jeanette is also too small to operate those motorized wheel chairs in Walmart. She does not weigh 100 lbs and they just will not go for her. I told her to grab a 25 lb of dog food and sit on it. However I bet she can't lift the dog food, so that is out. LOL
I am sorry but that was the funniest thing I heard in ages. I can just see her trying to coax the little machine into moving. Giddy UP! GO!!!
Then I thought of the time she was at my house, She was sewing and sewed her finger. ( on an Electric sewing machine, She was used to the pedal kind) LOL LOL. And that is true.
She passed out. NO not laughing because she passed out, she passes out rather easily.
David would not let it go, He said, " Hey Jeanette if someone ask how you feel, just say Sew Sew".
She would laugh and almost pass out again from the pain.
The laughs kept coming, I had taken my oldest, Charles out at church to Wee Wee. (He was two years old or Was it three?)It was dark and the restrooms were spooky, You had to go behind the church, (no!! not an outhouse, although I am not sure that would have been better).
I let him pee in a bottle. He runs back in church saying, "I peed in a bottle!! I peed in a bottle."
Charles does not, nor has he ever had a soft voice, it booms.
Then after the laughing and snickering died down,, I had to have the etiquette rules discussion. His Dad was certainly no help, He kept his head in his hands, LAUGHING.
We also discussed the purse making I am working on. I told her "I don't know how much time I have left so everyone may not get one and Hey I want one too."
She did laugh, I apologized for dark humor but sometime laughter sustains us.
It actually has helped her a lot, I can hear her lungs opening up. OK I can hear her begin to cough and that opens the bronchial tubes for easier breathing.
Laughter truly is the Best Medicine.

Wish I would have been there to see her try to get it to move.. I still remember what she would say to the little ones when they got up from their nap. I still say it to mine.. "Good APPANOON"....
