Sept. 9-15
From a gorgeous fall day in MO,
We are edging into fall now - cooler nights and days that are ranging from 70s to mid 80s. We noticed on our drive to St. Joseph yesterday that leaves are also showing some changes.
The week as sort of been quiet. I helped Ron with the Mobile Meals work on Monday - only xeroxed, but that saved him some time. Ruth went to Mayo's this week and I am not sure when she will be back.
I joined the ladies for dessert on Monday at 4:00 as Helen comes down to teach an American history class for NCMC at our local vocational school.
Jim of course joined both breakfast groups on Wednesday. I planned on joining the ladies on Thursday morning, but had difficulty sleeping Wednesday night and am thinking I didn't drop off until after 4:00 in the a.m. I just turned the alarm off at 6:30 and went back to sleep.
We went to St. Joseph on Friday - first to Borders and then we went to Cheddars for the first time to eat our lunch/supper. Then we headed to Lafayette High School to attend the football game. It was a crisp evening, but quite tolerable. The game was much closer than it should have been - am not sure if Lafayette is that much on track or if our boys were thinking they would have an easy game. We did end up on top, but there were tons of penalties on both teams during the game - not an easy sight. We got back to Chillicothe about 11:00 and Jim likes to watch the tv clips on Channel 2 as to how various high school teams did - so it was almost 11:30 when the lights went out.
He was moving about 7:00 this morning, but I really was dragging and he finally enticed me out about 8:30 with a promise to go to Country Kitchen for breakfast - which turned out to be sort of a dud for what he ordered - my things were fine - but he spent the time grouching.
Jim over did his activities during the mid part of the week and also decided about the same time to stop taking any Vicodin (was taking two a day) and various pains returned that he had forgotten about and the grouchiness became very unpleasant. I considered checking into a local motel for a few days if necessary. I went by the pharmacy and he suggested taking one Vicodin a day and then using Advil as needed (turns out three will do the job) and peace began to come back to our household. He is testy today, but that is part of the after effects of the drive to and from St. Joseph plus sitting in the stands about 4 hours (Jim likes to get there early).
We have a few things on the docket for this coming week. I do the Mobile Meals on Monday, Jim needs to make arrangements to get his PSA done, we go to St. Luke's North on Thursday to see his cardiologist for a one year check-up, and at least we have a home football game this coming Friday night - with Platte County - a powerhouse for several years now.
Be safe.
