Monday: Flew back home, nice weather. Dinner was the last Bill/Joan frozen Christmas pasta dinner.
Tuesday: Up early, AA off to school. Ford saw his new surgeon and now has gallbladder surgery scheduled for 2/24/25.
I attended AA's AICE spring break trip meeting at 6:00 p.m. Going to be a great trip. We bought Five Guys burgers for dinner.
Wednesday, 12th: No morning appointments, afternoon was a new doctor, Dr. Syed, specializes in leg circulation. Two imaging appointments and a follow up all by March 26th.
The Loop for lunch: salad and a pizza:
Laurie was sick, so moved to Thursday, AA's calculus test on Friday. We went to the River House, Happy Hour, (I took Sarah's bacon dip and Mom's Maine Apple Pepper Jelly, cream cheese and crackers) met up with Kathy and Karrie (she was going to a Galentine's event at her Club).
Take out Chinese food for the last night of CNY - tried Saigon Wok (near Mellow Mushroom/Mojo) and the food was very good (Lo Mein, Pad Thai and Hibachi steak and chicken).
Thursday: AA wore the gold ingot necklace my Mom gave her.
Drove Ford to his Parkinson exercises, then to the Hallmark store and Publix. We bought so many BOGO's, stocked up on things we use. Spoke to Justin, having his shoulder surgery today.
AA came home from school, snacked on my leftover dinner food, then off to her annual eye appointment.
Paid Laureen and Laurie for three tutoring sessions each.
I ordered silicone baking sheets for me and Melissa; a new Martha Stewart 13x9 baking pan and some tinted blemish medicated concealer for AA.
I made orange chicken in the crock pot with rice and a Ceasar salad kit for dinner.
Friday: Valentine's Day!
We had an early morning to head out to Ford’s physical therapy at for his 8:30 appointment. We left early and bought a dozen Dunkin Donuts to take to the PT office. The donuts are quite festive with pink icing, lots of sprinkles and some shaped in hearts. I spoke to Terri most of the time while Ford was at his PT appointment. We talked about her babysitting schedule with Chris’s kids, her appointments with Gloria and her gardening so far (trying planting carrot seeds in cardboard egg carton a month early; they are had to germinate, fussy, so doing something different this year). I did walk for a very short time about five minutes it was in the 50° this morning.
We shopped at Publix and picked up ingredients for bruschetta for dinner tonight. I also bought a Valentine’s Day Hart helium balloon for AA. We have cards and some candy.
Ford and I ate leftovers for lunch and Alyzabeth came home with the sad news that she scored a 74 on her calculus test. Unfortunately, Laurie was sick this week so AA has not had her tutor to help her. She also found out yesterday that she did not get in the FSU honors program but her friend Sophia did get accepted. We continue to be sad and question why (there is a link to apply once enrolled this Fall, but doesn't take the sting away).
In the afternoon, Ford has been talking about playing his guitar again so we drove to the Green Cove Springs, The Guitar Station; he bought a new strap for his guitar (very inexpensive - $9). He had given away most of his stuff to Justin or Jesse back when he stopped playing. We had a glass of wine and tried to tune our guitars. Hopefully, daily we will learn one note, or chord if he sticks to it.
We enjoyed bruschetta for dinner, opened our Valentine's Day cards; I bought mint chocolates for AA and assorted chocolates for Ford (and they both shared!).
Valentine's Day cards:
Ford's new nightly routine is to take a shower right before bed, take off his compression socks and elevate his legs while sleeping, then in the morning, immediately put on his compression socks. Two imaging tests are in March, then will see if any further treatment is prescribed.
AA went to her bedroom to watch "something" and we watched a recording of Sleepless in Seattle (ends on Valentine's Day), until we fell asleep.
