Yesterday was another nice sunny day with a high of 26.4C (humidex 32C). There was a bit of wind yesterday but not a lot. This morning it was 21C (humidex of 28C) and cloudy. We are to have a high of 29C (humidex of 35C) and sunshine.
Lifestyle
The geriatric specialist called yesterday to give me an update on the Spousal Unit. He is stabilizing to the new doses of medication levels. The last couple of days have been good which was nice to hear. He will have episodes of aggression. She said he has declined rapidly with the episode he had last Monday but he also has been a more alert when he's awake. Daughter-in-law was called in early last evening as he was crying (depressed) about his usual concerns. She got him settled in 30 minutes which is normal. Though he asked for her, he didn't know who she was. Once settled he was back to talking about trains and wanted cigarettes which he hasn't smoked for over 50 years. We don't know what the obsession about trains is about as he was never interested in them.
I finished cleaning the bedroom yesterday morning. What a lot of work as there were dust and dust bunnies mainly behind the furniture they don't move. The main part of the room was cleaner from their regular routine. I did get the rest of my chores done in the afternoon.
While I was cooking dinner, family showed up to pick tomatoes, peppers, and I helped them pull the beets. The pepper plants are producing and it is going to be hard to keep up with them. I am going to plant them again next year plus we are talking about planting jalapenos. No beets, less tomatoes, and the usual carrots, beans, peas, leeks, and cucumbers.
I spent some time looking for freezer meals and will be making a lasagna (have the sauce frozen) and a pork roast. From there, I will decide what to make next. Most freezer meals are large but I can freeze the leftovers. The ones for seniors look bland and the ones for young people are spicy or use a lot of processed food. I am still thinking, once again, about an Instant Pot. I am moving out of survival mode to thinking about meals once again.
I was over to deliver fresh vegetables to the neighbor's and had a glass of wine with them in their outdoor patio. They built it last year and it wonderful. It is behind their garage and at the edge of a small green belt; very quiet and cooler than the rest of their back yard.
The saga of the chickens continues. They are still loose and I've had to herd them out of the yard. There is a rooster who has decided to crow just after 6 a.m. No roosters permitted. This person has no regard for the by-laws nor does he care if his birds are on your property.
I didn't sew or knit yesterday. No time at all as I'm trying to get things done in the house and yard.
Today
I have to get ready for the cleaners, shop, and then sew. I'm taking the day off from doing much of anything except to make dinner and keep the kitchen clean. I need one as I've been doing so much lately. The only chore I may do is wash the beets and trim off the greens. That needs to be done and delivered to people. I may even knit tonight.
Until the next time.............................................................
