Today the 11th

It is a very dry-feeling day.  

I was going out to open the east patio sliding door this morning and had I not been super quick, Snuggles would have gotten into the house.  Sorry snuggles if the door caught you in the neck.  He had stayed out all night.  He followed me into the garage and headed straight for the food bowl.  Too bad!  At six that sliding door gets closed.

Yesterday late afternoon, I went to the potting shed to get some things ready for Dennis’ plants to be gotten in.  We may well have freeze warnings Sunday night.  Dennis has nurtured those plants for years and they will get tucked in the patio porch when AJ stops tomorrow.  Two small plastic patio tables with containers on top of the tables.  When the potted plants sit on and in those containers, they will have water poured into the containers and the plants suck up the water from the bottom.  It forces the roots down rather then getting root bound from watering them from the top.  We repotted them this summer.  They really look good.

I have not and will not go out to see Dennis today.  I know he gets PT twice a day.  When I had my knees replaced, I remember how tuckered out I was from a good workout.  I do know the heart halter battery needs replacing every 12 hours.  Remembering that is beyond my pay grade.

Denise stopped in this morning to pick up his laundry I had done last night.  She gets off work at Casey’s at nine or there abouts every morning.  It works great that she can stop in to see her dad.

I have met my objective for the day.  At the time I had made a scrappy lightweight quilt for myself, I had put it up on the north wall of our living room.  This afternoon the quilt is folded and all of the Command little stickers are off of the wall that had held it in place.  I love Command products almost as much as Amazon.

Between now and supper time and even after supper, I will begin taking things out of the cabinet in Dennis’ bedroom, for the cabinet to be placed on the north wall of our living room.  I texted AJ the measurements of the cabinet (84 x 50 x 22) and the fact that the cabinet is 8 inches taller than the bedroom doorway.  AJ  and Ryan will tackle it tomorrow.  It is solid wood and Ryan knew he could get more help if it was needed.  Dennis has very strong grandsons.

I was made aware yesterday that our home will be visited before Dennis comes home.  I kind of knew that was coming.  I think Medicare drives that.

I am having frozen pizza for supper.  As Dennis doesn’t like pizza, it is a real treat for me.  Dennis commented the food at Good Sam’s is much better tasting than in the Mankato hospital.

With that I will take my leave.  ♥
