Tackling Tuesday

I didn't end up talking to my mom until about 4:15 her time yesterday afternoon. I had called her an hour earlier and she said she was downstairs checking her mail and would call me back when she got back up to her apartment. She forgot. It sounds like maybe she wasn't feeling well again yesterday morning for a bit. She mentioned she wants to go to the store with the group/bus, this morning, as she still wants a few things and needs to get something for a rash on her arm. She said she's had this rash before, but it's been a long time since she last had it. Not sure what it might be. She said she only has lotion, so wanted to check at the store pharmacy for something else. I reminded her about "Cortaid" or hydrocortisone cream, so she wrote that down to look for. If for some reason she doesn't go or forgets to get some, I'll just try to order her some via Amazon and have it delivered. I would think there would be something with Prime delivery for that to get to her quickly. Or Walmart 2 day delivery. I did just look through her medication list with her health insurance and a couple years ago she did have a prescription for some hydrocortisone 2.5% cream for "red spots". Wonder if she still probably has the tube in her medicine cabinet. I wouldn't be surprised that she used it all before. Usually they always give you more than you end up using with that kind of stuff.

Tomorrow morning is my eye doctor appointment to recheck my eye with the specialist. So far, so good now for almost 2 weeks. If for some reason he does still recommend the eye surgery, as long as it's still not bothering me, I'm going to wait until after I get my mom moved over here. He had said it would take a week for most of the healing, but a good month for it to completely reheal after the surgery and I don't want to have to deal with it while driving over to get my mom moved, if I don't have to.

I also have to get that document notarized that my mom's retirement account broker mailed to me, so that they can finally get me on the account. I called my bank to see if I needed an appointment for that, since I'll be in the city tomorrow morning, but she said I can just do it through the drive thru. My eye appointment is 8:40 and I doubt it will take longer than a half hour. Then I will go to the bank. Then Lowe's is nearby and I'll stop and pick up some 55 gallon garbage sacks I ordered. Then I have my Walmart order set to pick up at 10am. Should all work out just about right, time wise. I keep checking back, until my order finalizes to see if I can get anything on my list that has been out of stock. Finally was able to add 4 boxes of elbow noodles.

DH is putting our house back together now, after having that insulation problem fixed. He's reinstalling all the soffit boards. No fun at all.  It took him days to recover from taking them all out. Then he will have to fix the insides upstairs. One in a bedroom closet where he cut out the wall so the insulation guy could get back into the attic area. Fairly easy to fix/hide, since it's just in a closet. The other opening he had to cut out (where I shared that picture the other day) is in the hallway to the bonus room. Not as easy. I think he's just going to do a temporary fix until we can afford to either install a bookcase there or put in a door, to access that area and use it for storage closet.

Perfect weather day - sunny and 67.  Tomorrow up to 76, but supposed to be cloudy all day.

  1. Since the job was not done correctly in the first place, I think the company should pay to remove and replace what had to be done. Just my opinion. A closet or bookcase sounds like a good idea. Maybe your eye has healed.

    1. apparently the job was mainly not done correctly by our builder, not the insulators, so the part of the soffits wasn't their responsibility. Rather than ever deal with our builder again, let alone probably spend more months trying to get him to do something, dh just removed and replaced them himself. Seemed the lesser of 2 headaches.
