Today’s Business: 2009-10-22

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

06:15 AM: I’m up.  Today’s plan: Finish installing all ridge shingles, as part of the   Shed Roof Replacement Project.  Then late this afternoon, pick up an additional piece of ridge vent at Lowe’s, and make sure I have the means to trim it to size.  Then if I don’t run out of daylight, install the new vent.

07:00 AM: Journaled for an hour or so.  Today, I discovered and discussed hidden memories of [Molly], in preps for writing the next   Tom’s Love Quest   post.  [Molly] represented a positive, influential force during the early years of my love quest — one of the few such forces.  So uncovering every thought, feeling, and event I can is essential to telling my whole love story.

08:05 AM: Sister JoJo stopped by to visit Mom.  I visited with them for a half-hour.

09:30 AM: Heard from the bride for this weekend’s   DJ wedding reception gig.   So far, all is well, and the gig is still on.

12:30 PM: Worked on the   Shed Roof Replacement Project.  Installed the last of the shingles.

03:30 PM: Continued with sealing all exposed nail heads on the   Shed Roof Replacement Project.

04:45 PM: Hung out for a bit with Mom and her friend Pat.  Sister Diane stopped by too, and so did brother-in-law Richard.  Grand Central Station this afternoon.  But I love it.  Yes, I do.

06:00 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless and the October 12th edition of NBC Nightly News.

07:00 PM: Processed all grocery and materials receipts for the various projects going on; figured out how much Mom owes me and vice versa.

08:00 PM: Cleaned up some of the old shingles by the shed.

09:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy], but got so tired after 45 minutes that I had to say good night to her.

09:30 PM: [Jack] called.  He said that he saw [Terra] at the last foot party and that she asked about me.  Hopefully, she’ll respond to my comments to her made  here, in the  Tom’s Love Quest   blog.  Also, there’s been a rumour that [LizDee] passed away, but [Jack] hasn’t heard anything definitive about that yet.

11:05 PM: Well, I’m bushed.  Haven’t been this busy for so many consecutive days in quite a while.  But I like this early-to-bed, early-to-rise sleep pattern I’ve gotten into lately.  So, it’s my bedtime now.  Good night, and sleep well.  I’ll see you tomorrow.

Mom’s Status: 2009-10-22

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

07:15 AM: Blood sugar: 209.  Covered with 15 units insulin.  She had a few ounces of pudding for breakfast.

12:45 PM: Blood sugar: 137.  Covered with 15 units insulin, as she ate a big bowl of chicken noodle soup and some pudding. 

01:00 PM: Mom’s physical therapist came and worked with her for about an hour, showing her exercises and demonstrating how to transfer from the scooter to the shower / tub, then back again.

03:47 PM: Blood sugar: 120.

05:00 PM: Covered with 15 units insulin.  She’s eating sweet & sour chicken left overs from last night.

05:15 PM: Sister Diane came to check out the new wound on Mom’s left foot.  She did not seem overly concerned, as the sore is very small at the moment. 

05:20 PM: Then, Mom’s friend Pat came to chat for a while.

10:15 PM: Blood sugar: 189.  Covered with 16 units of insulin as she was about to eat a slice of bread with peanut butter.

10:55 PM: Mom’s been in a great mood all day.  It’s nice.  She also thanked me for helping her out.
