What a day yesterday turned out to be!

In the morning, M said he wasn’t feeling great, so I gave him some Coke and saltines before I left for work. I called him during the day and suggested toast and soup for lunch or some applesauce . . . something that would be easy on his stomach. Continue reading “Coke and Saltines – the Magic Cure-All”

Yesterday was a long day . . . being back to work after having five days off was a bit much to ask, in my opinion. But here I was. And M was at home, with a list of chores to do. Then I had to go get a haircut after work, so I was late getting home. Continue reading “The Thing Is . . .”

I promise – this is NOT going to turn into a running blog!

But, I did actually get up AGAIN this morning and run. Shocking, right? Three sessions in a row. I was feeling so completely HORRIBLE yesterday that I wasn’t sure I was going to do it. Continue reading “Day Three – in the Books!”

Running shoes – purchased. And you’ll never believe it . . . they’re actually the brand and style I liked and used so many years ago. Saucony Hurricanes. I guess that tweaking they do every year came back around and they fixed the heel they messed up when I got annoyed with them. Continue reading “Mama’s Got a New Pair of Shoes”

I’ll admit it – as of yesterday afternoon, I had not applied to Social Security for M’s disability benefits. Continue reading “Complete Line 7A on Form 592-Z”
