I think it is Jasmine Brooks

Forgot to mention that sometimes there is an arrow where the sound icon should be. The arrow does form a half circle. Does not matter which browser I am using, no sound.

I am having problems with my cell. Last week I was trying to hear the presentation from Heidi Daus to no avail. Also the TS is minus the sound unless I catch the presentation at midnight. I mainly use Silk which is Amazon’s internet browser. When I use the desktop, it is MSN and Google or Google Chrome. If I want to listen to one particular presentation after the broadcast, I get a video without the sound. What I see is a semi circle or a circle in the bottom left hand corner where the sound icon would be. This stops the recording, and in my case, the entire video. I also notice that other customers are having the same or similar problems.

Staying home to play catchup on laundry and kitchen KP. I fell asleep at the computer last night and awoke around 1 am.. Hubs seems to be OK and is getting around better than ever using his hands on the wheels and his legs for walking while in the wheelchair. His food last night was chewable and he handled in well. Ate every morsel. Tomorrow I will bring gefilte fish without the horseradish.

It is very sunny on the West Coast with temps in the low 80s. The UV index is very high as well. There is a chance for some rain, but the news will be the winds which will last thru Thursday. I have enough sinus pills so should be OK.

ay it is sunny with temps in the low 80s. Rain tomorrow with wind advisories. Never a dull moment in Florida as far as weather is concerned.

I just finished a cup of chicken bone broth with Raman noodles and wontons. Yum.

Spent the afternoon and evening with hubs. He was on the lanai when I arrived with his roommate. I didn’t recognize him until he turned the wheelchair around. He lost a lot of weight, but had is gradually getting more energy. His face is starting to look like himself. The RN ended up working the morning and evening shifts. She looked so drawn. The aides were almost down to nothing. Limited staff not a good idea.

Hubby ate in the dining room. His plate was the next level up and I was impressed. He ate everything and if the plate was food, he would have found a way to enjoy that also. For the most part, the A/C was not on until after dinner. One of the aides brought me a plate as well. And, yes, I tried something that gave me a sulfite attack. Hubs noticed, however, I carry the meds just in case and it brought it down to a nothing. This one was a bit scary because my throat started to close and itch. The meds kicked in right away and I am fine even now. After dinner we sat in the lanai and then when the A/C came on we headed to his room. Last week I brought the wearable blanket to the rehab and tonight he said he was extremely chilled. So I helped him to put it on. My only regret is not telling the RN to look in on him. I am so afraid that he can overheat during the night. The switchboard is closed and there is no way for me to make a call to the nurse’s station. I am extremely worried and concerned. So much so that I may take a ride this evening.

I hope you had a wonderful Easter. Showers were in the forecast. Nothing happened. Tomorrow is another day.

@sheba2011

I was hoping to get an early start to see hubs. But, I had a soda that gave me some problems and then some. Who would have thought that a bottle of diet cola would have sulfites. Thank goodness for my sinus meds that kicked in, but, made me fall asleep.

Managed to drive to the Farmer’s Market and found parking at a premium. The place was a madhouse, but I managed to find the lobster roll and some other goodies. I even picked one up for the receptionist. The lobster looked fresh and did not have anything mixed in except for some salad greens. I was finally able to enjoy it after seeing hubs. It was sweet and so delicious. Worth the wait and the treat. Not quite what we have on the Cape, but really good nevertheless. Instead of an Italian roll, the Market used a hotdog roll. That was OK since that roll and others are made on the premises. During the week I will try the stuffed flounder with lobster. Hubs begged me for a bite when I mentioned it was on sale this week. I will need to sneak it in since he is still on puree foods.

Hoping the weather will ease up tomorrow so you all can enjoy a beautiful Easter Sunday. Stay safe.

And she married a tycoon who bought a struggling Home Shopping Network into a thriving
Showcase of high-end fashion,jewelry, electronics, etc., only to be purchased to be dragged down again.

@sheba2011

I arrived home just about an hour ago after being with hubs. He lost a great deal of weight, though his beard is now non existent and his hair a bit shorter. Hopefully, the rehab staff will help him regain some pounds. But, his hands are stronger. I just hope he will be alright.

This morning I awoke to some back pain and took what I needed. That pain subsided within a few minutes and has stayed away all day. For the first time in three months I was able to go up and down the three steps in the carport without a problem. I was so excited that I did it quite a few times. The weather does play an important part to this. I just hope that Sunday will be a good day to start using the legs again. It sure will be nice to be able to walk the mile to the mailbox and return without a hitch. Not to worry. I will be taking it slow to get to that point.

Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter. Hope the weather holds up so you can enjoy whatever the day brings.

I missed seeing the moon last night in all it’s pink glory. Instead I was trying to convert a PDF file into something I could send to our Accountant through e-mail. This started at 10 AM and continued to midnight. I finally resorted to an AI for help. It became an amazing adventure and the outcome worked like a charm. Who kniew the capabilities of one tiny thing that floats within a cloud. Has no arms, legs or facial features and sits in a chair waiting for the next problem. Consequently, I did not see hubs and he will get an earful of what I did. I also missed the First Seder, but the end result was worth everything.

Today, when I awoke, to a sunny morning, it felt great. No pain and the ability to move around seemed endless. The packet was now ready for the Accountant. I was ready to leave around 1 pm and the pain in the side and lower back returned. The clouds came and you would think it would rain, but zero, zilch, denada. I took one pill for the pain and two hours later I was ready for another. I learned, later, that we would have some rain chances, finally. I finally left for the USPS to drop off the packet. I could not shop. Sat in the car for a few minutes and drove home.
Ar’pimd 6 pm saw lightning and then a hube clash of thunder and torrents of rain. So glad I was home and indoors. Tomorrow the same scenario which will probably get me out of the house for gas and then on to see hubs. Not sure about shopping, though the Farmer’s Market has lobster rolls for $14.00 ea.. Also stuffed flounder with lobster stuffing. Two of my favorites along with salmon which is also on sale. We will have another round of lower temps next week. We will not see anything higher than the low 60s. Nighttime lows in the 40s to mid 50s. Nice spring like temps that I love. No high temps. No humidity.

@sheba2011

Wow wow wow on those terrific Labs. Good going.

The taxes will be mailed tomorrow. One company did not come through and I sent the info to our accountant. No rest for the weary. Glad I remembered what I needed.

Now off to a shower and on to Sam’s for gas and to pick up take out for dinner at the Rehab. Both Sams and Costco have gas for $3.79. Gas stations are now over $4. YIKES

@sheba2011

Love the floral bouquet. Their fragrance will permeate the house on this humid day. Well, truth be told, if I close my eyes the scent is everywhere. And, the sinuses are fine.

I am taking a break from doing the taxes. Hopefully, it will be done and out of here by tomorrow and on to the CPA. Normally, it takes just a few hours, but there was a question that could only be answered online. Getting into the website took hours.

Hubs was awesome yesterday. I did not see him today, but will tomorrow. I will be making a stop at Costco and the Farmer’s Market Wednesday. The hip is OK. I can now bend and walk up and down the outdoor stairs without cringing. I will wait until the weekend to start walking again and I will not be overdoing it. I need to get the legs and body in shape. Too much sitting, not good (LOL).

Have a wonderful evening.

@sheba2011

I was in the kitchen last night and there were items on the floor that I haven’t been able to pick up. So I gave the old college try and for the first time in over three months I was able to bend the knees and do a pickup. No need to use the broom and scooper. A huge smile to finally say that I am almost back to my old self. It felt good.

I arrived home about a half hour ago after visiting hubs. The weather was dark and dismal most of the day and I am not sure if there was even a raindrop in sight. However, the lower back gave me a problem and the forecast is for rain the next three days starting today. I will not be holding my breath. Rain promise. Rain disappoints. Leaving the rehab, I had left the key to the car on the counter while signing out. The aide called to me immediately and returned to take it from her. The wind has picked up. It actually felt cool, though the temp is in the low 70s.

Hubs is off the oxygen and he was able to enjoy the sunshine yesterday and today. The coughing is now minimal, though I suspect it is due to the draft from two vents. And those vents are filthy. This is how illness is transported from room to room. The vents are in the ceiling, but that is no excuse for not giving them a good spritz and a wipe. I am tempted to bring Clean Boss and the cloth with me tomorrow even though I am afraid of heights. Now I wonder if hubs had Legionnaires disease. It is a form of pneumonia, but more brutal.

I now need to do the garbage detail. Hope you three have a wonderful evening. No moon or stars tonight. It is very cloudy.

@sheba2011

I awoke to a bad sinus infection. Took my me ds and decided to rest. This time the meds made me so tired that I fell asleep and when I awoke it was too late to get ready for the rehab. Contacted the receptionist and returned to the bed. I am now doing this and that as well. I received the vitamins that AI ordered during the TS and ordered some others when they were 25% off.

When I contacted the receptionist she mentioned that hubs spent sometime outside. It was a good day for that. Also heard that his roommate had to leave the room as well. Guess they were thoroughly giving it a good cleaning as well as changing sheets and blankets. I just wish they would include the A/C vents as well along with the ceiling. This should help hubs heal faster.

So far the hip is better. No pain. That’s a milestone for me. Lower back is feeling better also. Guess staying away from the Rehab’s A/C is helping, but miss hubs too much to stay away. Tomorrow I definitely need to do some shopping. Gas prices here is $3.99/gal.. Both Sam’s and Costco are 3.75. Thankfully, my little “wagon” is not a gas guzzler. Will fill up tomorrow as well. It is down a 1/2 tank.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

@sheba2011

Fell asleep early last night and awoke around 2:30 am.. Wide awake and decided to do this and that. Climbed back into bed around 4am and did not fall asleep. Decided to stay up to catch up on some reading and finally fell asleep around noon. Slept until 5pm and realized it was too late to drive to the Rehab. The receptionist leaves around 6-6:30pm. I will make a trip to the Farmer’s Market tomorrow and then will go on to the Rehab.

I am concerned with the oxygen as well. However, he is not on it all day. His roommate says his coughing is on and off and he is moving better. The oxygen may be used as a precaution. It is on the lowest level. Still, that does not sit well with me. He is eating everything on his pureed plate and looking for seconds. Meanwhile, today, my hip pain is gone. I used Marla’s jacket yesterday which kept me sane and could be one of the reasons why I feel better. The only problem today was the sinus migraine.

Our temp is 74 as I type with full sun. No rain in sight. House felt warm so turned on the A/C.. I purchased a couple of planters and next week I will venture out to the nursery to pick and choose. Not sure if the Bird of Paradise Plant will make an entrance since my neighbor did me a favor by pulling everything in sight along with the weeds. The plants I purchased from HSN last year are returning. These are in containers near the carport. I have a Mandeville as well that I will move to full sun. Probably will use the trolley to help with the move.

@Sjheba2011

I was able, finally, to be with hubby. Arrived just in time when his dinner was being served. The pain in my hip has finally started to subside and I was able to enjoy the visit. He is still on oxygen, but not full time. He is still coughing and I surmise the A/C is the culprit. Luckily, I purchased 2 blankets and one I just recently washed and will put his name in there so it will not be lost. On one hand I think it may help, but on the other, may be too warm. I will ask the RN to check on him from time to time.

Temp today was in the 80s and as I type it is a balmy 70+. Humidity is up as well. Allergy season is upon us as well. Debating about any planting since there is no rain in the forecast over the weekend. Not sure if April will be any different. Time will tell.
