Rain Drops

At 2:30 this morning, it was more than rain drops.  The short lived wind whipped the rain so it was hard to tell which direction the rain was coming from.  I think we had a half inch of rain.

Dennis’ daughter, Nurse Sandy, was coming for a visit today.  It was more like checking in with her brother Jeff to see how he was doing with the external catheter to collect body fluids.  Sanitizing is the key.  Medicaid is allowing two collection containers.  Any additional would be $400 each.  Sandy went through everything with Jeff and so . . .  so far all is good.  Sandy did clear it that he could have hospice come once or twice a week to check on things with Jeff.  It is up to Jeff to ask for it personally, no second party requests.

This weekend Dennis’ youngest granddaughter, Sandy’s daughter, is getting married in South Dakota.  It is an event location pretty much out in the country in an old barn tricked out for weddings.  Sandy urged us to not anticipate in attending.  It would involve walking over a stubble field that has had a grain crop taken off of it.  As Sandy was here today, we wanted to send our gift with Sandy.  By the way, the bride, Cheyanne, turns 30 tomorrow and she is a MMA wrestler.  She has been quite successful in her wins with no injuries.  Her class is 120 something pounds.  Her next match is at Mystic Lake on the 20th of September going head to head with a Russian that is 26 years old.  Enough to make her mom cringe.  Hmm.

Here comes the heart attack that was close to happening.  Dennis’ job this morning was to go to Lewis Drug and purchase a wedding card and then off to the bank for the funds we were going to include and enclose.  When my ole cowboy came home and shared the sticker shock of the cost of a card, he did look a bit pale.  Bless his heart.  He hoped that from now on, our family just sends us a text on special occasions.  I second that.

Today the studio remained dark.  There were two loads of laundry to do.  There were two bills to write a check for and get them ready for Dennis to pop in the mail as he was going out and about.  Sandy had not been to see us for some time and I wanted her to enjoy visiting with her dad and me.

The skies have been cloudy all day.

With that I take my leave.  ♥
