Sandra, Sept 5, 2026, yes, its current.

Today in the bath room mirror, changed back ground to black and added the balloons using AI

So far, I have had 5 emails and 3 texts with Happy Birthday and a  2 dear blog friend sent me an Amazon Gift cards. I WILL SHOP today..

Yesterday, I called my friend Ruby to come and hang up my birthday present I bought myself on Thursday, to finish putting the living room back like it was before Bob's illness started.

You might remember Philomena, the pothos plant that lived in the kitchen corner, for over 30 years. 

Live Pothos plant Photo Christmas 2024 Kitchen March 2025 it was gone, due to caregiver craziness, Philomena passed away and this is a photo from the prior Post of the kitchen minus a living plant.

I intended to buy a new plant for my birthday gift to me, but a light bulb went off and I thought, I will have to water, keep sun beams from touching, pick dead leaves off of plant and floor and it might just die again. Another gift to me was to drive to Hobby Lobby and see if they had silk plants like it. I still had the pot from Philomena and I found 3 long pieces and bought 60 dollars worth of them for 30, because they were on sale.... Here is the new plant, and now my living room view from sofa is just like it was when all this care giving started March of 2025.

This is from my sofa this morning just before Breakfast and Ruby's beautiful flowers in the nook.

Before daybreak and after day break.

I close with an update of my 82 year old Memory.

Wed I gave my beautiful boy Beau, my blood pressure pill and Lexapro with his pill at 4 AM in the morning, which resulted in 28 hours of anguish, a call to Poison Control that was 110.00, a visit to Vet ER, $452, which is the cost of Nausea injection, a can of food filled with ground charcoal, a blood test and I could take him home and monitor him for 48 hours. The tried to make me send him by ambulance to a 24 hour ER because they are vet after hours only, and he needed vet monitor for 6 to 8 hours, maybe 12 hours. 

the cost would be $3000 to $7000.00 which means I brought him home and did caregiver duty to him.

HE is Fine, was fine all day, had no problems, slept for 24 hours except for pee/poop times. I had to hold his pain pill for 24 hours but we did not walk, so he did ok with that.

As if that is not proof of my AGE, this morning I made my second cup of K-cup Koffee with out putting my new cup under the K-cup.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST... I have now been blessed with ZenColor Carpal tunnel Elbow and wrist and just creating this post is hurting really bad.

No more coloring, drawing or repetitive motions, and Ruby says I have to wait 3 weeks. 

We shall See. 

Who knew an adult can color to much and wreck her arm????
