So sorry to hear you are under the weather. Please be careful during the process of winter going into spring and vice versa. Maybe you should let Poppy out in the backyard to do his thing until you feel better. For sore throats and losing voice I do use manuka honey in tea. I have also used a smidgen in soup. For some reason it works. Always remember that the higher the number, the better it is. Also tastes better.

I did not see hubby yesterday. I did do something to my arms and lower back. Standing on a step ladder to clean the inside of the cabinets turned out to be a no no. Left leg wouldn’t let me stand without pain. So today will do laundry. Right now my kitchen area looks like a cyclone hit it. I have the decorator coming tomorrow, so I will hit that area in a few minutes and do what I can.

I contacted the Social Worker this morning and explained the situation with the roommate. The hours for visiting the Rehab begin at 9 am and lasts the entire day. Because the neighborhood leaves a lot to be desired, I try to leave no later than 9:30 pm. If I’m not home by
10:30-11pm, my neighbor will be on the phone with the Sheriff’s office since she is an employee there. This happened for the first time a week and a half ago when I took ill while visiting hubby. I was able to make it to the car after 11pm while listening to the rants from the roommate. That’s when I saw a helicopter in the vicinity and did not realize I was being followed from above. That helicopter remained overhead until I was able to get out of the car and open the other door to get my carryall . I have thanked her several times since.

I will give you an update later if I can. Have much to do and a hubby to see. Cannot wait to bring him home and not have to drive to and from the Rehab.

A comment that will add more to the mystery. Jennifer Juan was a presenter on HSN until a year ago. She was on air for many years .

I guess I will need to wait another day before using the step ladder. I needed to use it to remove the upper shelves and found that my left leg did not like the idea. So instead, will be paying bills and doing paperwork. It has to be done anyway since it is the cause of the main clutter.

Tomorrow I expect the soil for the containers that will be here Thursday. Meanwhile, there is an opened space in the front that beckons for a plant. I purchased the Jasmine for this purpose and is doing great. Looking forward to the scent that HSN said was permeating the air around them.

I have seen many hummingbirds in Florida and decided on the butterfly plants for them and of course the numerous butterflies in the area. There have been times when one has stopped and kissed my cheek. I surmise that this is the way our parents keep an eye on us and to tease us with their presence.

Tomorrow I will be contacting the Social Worker. I definitely need to get hubby out and about and with help get him into a cart for an adventure which he hasn’t had for sometime. There has to be a way to do this. I also will let him know that there is a problem with his roommate. He has had no visitors from the day he was admitted and I think that is part of the problem. Anyway, seems that all the patients have been given a “grab” tool and he uses it to push the curtains separating him from hubby to move it back and forth. It’s like watching a child at play. An RN last night actually warned me that he could be harmful to hubby. They are keeping an eye out and checking the room often after I leave.

And speaking of hubby. Last night he reached for mu hand and gave me the hardest squeeze in a long time. He mentioned that he thought the pain could be from the A/C ducts which are above his head. Ours at home in Florida are in the floor and can be adjusted as needed.

It is a bright, sunny day. I will be heading out soon. Dress warm when venturing out with Poppy.
