Tigger inspects the paper whites.

This morning I went to Dr. Basu for a blood pressure check since it had been a month on the new dose. All is going very well. I had printed out my daily BP readings for the month so that she could see that I am staying in the 130s for my systolic pressure. So I don’t need to go back until March. Yea!! She did suggest some compression socks for my swollen ankles. So tomorrow I’ll check on Amazon.
The remodel/redo is on hold until Statewide can find a tile installer. I don’t know how they stay in business. In the meantime, I have a working shower and the money stays in the bank earning interest for me. Joe plans to write a letter to the CEO of the company after the first of the year and see if that lights a fire under someone. We shall see.
My paper whites are beginning to emerge. I haven’t forced paper white blooms in years. I have ordered 3 blue hyacinths to force but they won’t be here until after Christmas. I wonder if I can plant the bulbs in the garden after they have bloomed?? It seems a shame to throw them away.
The Housecleaners came yesterday so my house is nice and clean with absolutely no effort on my part. I love my HouseCleaners; they have been cleaning my house every month for almost 20 years. Adrian’s mother speaks very little English so I practice my Spanish with her. We get along quite well as long as 1. she speaks very s l o w l y and 2. I have access to Google Translate.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am glad all is well. Remodeling can be so stressful, it is hard to find good companies that do good work. There are times I wish I had house cleaners. Take care, enjoy your day!
Merry Christmas Florence! Congrats on the BP and thanks for the reminder that I need to check mine more often. I wanted to let you know that I think of you often these days as I printed out the Mary Oliver poem you posted a while ago ("I Worry") and have it on my refrigerator -- they are just the perfect words for me right now and I swear I sleep better by thinking of theml!
