Thank you dear Bobbi so much.

@flyingdumbo127 So sorry your father is still not feeling well. I hope the pain reliever does help and he feels better soon. I hope your situation improves too.

Good morning. It is 69 here now with temps heading into the mid 70s. Much better than the last couple of days. We are expecting some showers off and on. I hope to get to the lake today before showers come in. Yesterday I went to Market Basket for a few items. That store is always busy. It is the only Market Basket in the area. I am used to living in an area with a choice of 3 or 4 nearby. My friend and I are trying to think of where to go on our annual trip next year. We do not want to fly or do a bus tour. We had enough of bus rides on the shore excursions. That limits where we can go. I don't mind flying somewhere but she does not want to at least for a while. I have to have to think about what is in the New England area that is within a few hours. We have plenty of time to think.

Off to work. Have a good day.

@Snowysmom, what time of year do you want to travel, and how far a drive is acceptable?

Dear Snowysmom, what about a train ride? There may even be some shorter options such as from LA to San Diego. I'm glad you and your friend are able to plan another trip together. Thank you on my dad.

Thanks to God, I got much more sleep last night. A is a fall risk (she fell and hit her head on Wednesday). A few people told her yesterday not to use the bathroom alone. E, a CNA, sat both inside and outside our room for a lot of her shift yesterday to watch A. E thanked me for get ting her once when she didn't realize A had gotten up.

CNA overnight A brought me fresh water just after midnight. I am not sure anyone has looked in on my roommate A since. A did use the bathroom relatively fast twice during the night. I still clean up after her every time. She does not flush. She also throws toilet paper in the trash. I am so grateful that she only had her overhead light on briefly and has been quiet. What a blessing for us both really. ETA CNA A did look in on my roommate A about ten minutes ago.

Dad, I sure pray, got a healing night sleep. I will first talk to him in an hour or so. He has a very early x-ray appointment that God willing he will either be up to driving himself to or taking a taxi too. He should look into Dial a Ride and similar services just to know how they work.

Dad never did get his as needed pain medication. Ralphs pharmacy (Ralphs is 5 or so minutes away from us) does morning deliveries as I found out later yesterday afternoon. That is good to know. Dad has been taking a muscle relaxer. I just pray it helped him sleep last night. He was really hurting all day :'(

One step always at a time. God, of course, has my dad just fine. I do miss him and if not today sure hope to see him tomorrow.

Thursday hugs and joy to all. I will check back later.

Dear Snowysmom, what about a train ride?

Ooh, good idea!

Good morning from a still hot, mid 90 degree MD. Despite the radar showing a storm was directly over me yesterday, we didn't get one drop of rain. Now there's no chance of rain today, possibly tomorrow.

I was at Walmart by 8:15 yesterday and the store was almost empty. There was no people standing in the middle of aisles looking aimlessly for what they wanted. I didn't see one Walmart personal shopper doing any orders. I didn't have to wait in line at the Deli, I got a fresh hot rotisserie chicken as it came out of the oven. I love shopping like that. The remodel is finally done as of last week, and the store looks nice, but it's still like a treasure hunt trying to find out where they moved things too. I was done with grocery shopping and all my errands and home by 9:30.

I came home and did laundry, dusted and vacuumed, and then talked to my friend in CO for 3 hours, lol. We never seem to run out of things to say. We're trying to finalize our vacation plans, and since it's too hot to do anything outside, it's a nice diversion.

I texted Summer to ask if they made it to OC okay, but of course, didn't get any answer, not surprising.

Nothing on my to do list today, I may go down to the farmers market just to get out for a little while. I went to the store over the PA line Tuesday, they had fresh Washington State Cherries for $.99 a lb. They were so good, I went back in the afternoon and got another 3 lbs. I may pit some and freeze them for later when I feel like having some.

Have a good day
