I was MIA yesterday because my To-Do list for the day was a LOT.
The first hour of my day is always one hour to get through the routine of getting Bob and Beau up.
Took out Garbage Bin and Yard Waste to curb, after filling them.
Publix for Eggs, Walmart did not bring them.
Home Depot, AC filters
Back to the Eye Doc to pick up frames and get a refund of $381 for a new lens, which came out of our account. The girl did not catch that my insurance only pays for the lens every 2 years. I have to wait 6 months. She needed my debit card to be refunded.
The thing is.. Monday when I drove the Kia to the eye doctor, the check oil light came on. I knew it was fine, I just got an oil change 3 months ago. Still, I had to check the oil. I have never opened the hood to any of our cars. Bob is a retired auto mechanic so no need to. I struggled to open it, and could not find the latch,
I came inside and watched a video on HOW to OPEN the HOOD of a 2007 Kia, was able to open it, but remembered the hood doesn't stay up, has to be propped open, found a stick, tried it, no deal, I had to flatten one end, and could not find a saw, so used the limb lopper to do that, found the dip stick and checked the oil which was fine. Now the stick rides in the back with the wheel chair, and the stick has to be used on propping that up because the last time the wheel chair was lifted out by ME, it would not stay up.
I did the three visits, in 1 hour 20 minutes, after driving, East/North to doctor, west/South to Publix, South to home Depot and North to home.. I got all 4 and of course ran into construction traffic South and North.
Returned home at 10:30 and did two loads of clothes/towels,
Called Spectrum to see why our bill went up 30 dollars, got it rebundled so its only up 3 dollars.
Paid all the bills, that should have been done on Monday.
In between all this took Beau out twice, Bob off you know what twice, Made lunch and collapsed in bed at 1 and slept till 3 when Bob was calling for help and said, were you that much asleep? I have been yelling for 30 minutes.
I answered " I have been on my feet since 3:15 which is 10 hours... and fed the dog and and took him out again.... when Beau goes out I follow every step he takes to make sure he doesn't eat it.... most of my days are like this, I will be erratic in posting/commenting. I typed all this to let everyone know why I am to tired to tango (blog) most days, each day I have been lopping branches off the powder puff tree to give it the annual pruning. I can only do 10 per day, still got 5 more days.
I did get a handyman number from the eye doctor. Hope it works out.

I wonder how you carry on, Sandra. I am exhausted reading about your day.
Oh Sandra! That's a lot of stuff in one day! I hope ALL your days aren't quite that busy, but I do know how things happen. We think we have an empty calendar when I turn the page each month, and before you know it almost every space is filled with something we have to do or someplace we have to go (mostly Dr. appointments, etc.) It's a good thing we're retired, right? My heart goes out to you and I pray that today will be a little calmer and give you some extra moments to put your feet up and relax a bit. (((HUGS)))
You definitely have your hands full!!! Don't worry about blogging! We're not going anywhere!!
BIG HUG

You have been thrown into the role of Superwoman, I wouldn't be able to manage half of it... 💕
Caregiving for Bob and Beau is a full time job as you have shown through your posts, Sandra. Glad that you managed a short nap in such a busy day and hope you get more in future. Blogging is definitely not as important as caring for yourself and loved ones. Take all the time you need, fellow bloggers will still be around.
