Today Is Sunday March 28 2021, This Is What Happen

 Went into Sandpoint to Home Depot. We weren't in there for long. The back bathroom needs a new faucet. Over to Walmart Hubby and I went our sperate ways. I only have two jeans and thought a few more would be nice. Like most clothes there some issue to get them to fit. A few times I pulled clothes off rack and they fit. Even had issue before I got heavy. So jeans I did try on didn't go up high enough. And my plumber crack was showing. Well I end up with streachy leggin. I recall stirrup pants when I was younger, the ones that wore them was quite a bit older. I thought they was for old fogey. Now I'm wearing them. I find them comfortable. I did get a few other items, before I went cloth shopping. 

Can't believe it end of the month. Plus end quarter and I know I didn't come close to my weight lost goal of loosing 7 pounds in 3 months. half to three fourth pounds a week. So Tuesday I will know the numbers and go from there. Not giving up! If there is odd number day on a Tuesday or Saturday. I try to walk someplace different. Saturday and Sunday is only day I get spend time with my husband. I actual like him to walk with me. And he wasn't up to it. Now I wish I went some place and went for a walk. 

Took a fun moon bath, toss some epsom salt into the water and toss bath tea bag in. Of sage and lavender. Since I will be leaving to Oregon on the first. After talking to my son about mask. They or don't have N95 mask there. There for front line workers. Figure I will have time to sew my self a few cloth mask before I go. Here in my area I wear an N95 simple not enough people takes the virus serious enough. Even I had the shot for virus. I will wear my mask because of the STRAINS OF COVID

Today Is Saturday March 27 2021, This Is what happen

 Not been posing. last week or so. It seem like nothing or it full bore a head. I like it in middle and tiping toward boring.

As you know Regis been having trouble. And last half week been tuff for him. Not going into all the fine details and now he end up in KOOTENAI HEALTH as he if full of ucler. The doctor at Kootenai tried to put an upper endoscopy and couldn't get down. They believe it cause by all the ibuprofen he takes. The direction on bottle says take up to 3 tablet as needed. These are 800 mg tablets, total of 2,400 mg. These you want to eat and have plenty of your stomach. I have hard time even get enough food in for the over the counter ones. So I don't take them. His care team tried to get him to eat correctly. "You can lead horse to water but you can't make them drink" I been talking to people down at Kootenai and their trying to figure what will be best care for Regis so his ucler will heal up. At this point if he send home with his ulcer. He won't be follwoing direction and going back to what Regis want to do. Which will be taking Ibuprofen, his diet is mainly icecream, cookies, sugary ceral, milk, and pop. Once in while juice and here and there something like sandwich. So until his ucler clear up he would be better in rehabilitation that can watch him, 24 hours and make sure he does what he needs to do to clear up his ucler. If we goes home he will be back in hospital. Before they are healed. I will be gone from first of April til the fifth.


 I got a little more fabric organized. Got the pink and green fabrics that I had sort put in there totes. But one green I liked and going to be part of  stash organize quilt block. I haven't did any sewing on it. I did start anther crochet dish cloth. I got this twist 85% cotton and 15% polyester. From the dollar store. At this point I won't be buying a lease the twist type of yarn. 

I know what I want to do on my next page for my sketch book project in Brooklyn. But I keep working on different way of put a cemetery in back ground. That doesn't be come the focus piece of drawing.

Finely got the tires out of the trunk of my car. Had my winter tread taken off and put on my summer tread.


Had Tuna steak, with nice salad and rice. A cup white wine for dinner.

Today Is Tuesday March 23 2021, This Is What Happen

 

Today and like most Tuesday. I give a self assessment on my well being. I never know if I should start with the positive or negative part of my week. If your wondering why I get the United State flag and our Idaho state flag. Either Tuesday or Saturday I like to take walk at different place. Well I went down to the fair grounds. I had every intention to walk up to falls with Regis. But he wasn't up to it. So we went for drive though the game reserve. But later on I took a short walk around one buildings, but did two laps.

This is door way to our main exhibit. I find changing one habit doesn't happen over night or snap of fingers. I notice I nibbling a lot on refine sugars. Mostly at work. So far so good. "I Dora, will try hard not to eat any refine sugar treat at work. The only time I will eat refine sugar treat will be one day a week in establishment. 

Our local park at the fairgrounds. I don't think all the negative or positive needs or should be drag though the mud. Now for negative

1. Wasn't consistent on my water drinking

2. Didn't record my health habits

3. Ate to much refine sugar at work



Regis and I stop in at Sharon a little coffee and bakery up North. I had gingersnap cookie and coffee. I didn't rake lunch and went into Under the Sun and had lunch. My sweet was piece of home made caramet candy. 
1. Follow my lunch rules. Have 3 or 4 healthy items in my lunch.

2. Exersise and or took walk daily except Sunday.

3. Didn't not eat after 7 in the evening.

Start to crochet some dish cloth. Liz Son Earl is getting married in June. So I will give a kitchen basket which will included three dish cloth and kitchen towels. We will toss other things that is use around the kitchen sink. 
Got anther pattern put on fabric block to embrodiay. I had plan to wrap up some pink fabric on the boards and place them in there proper tote. Didn't get to it.

Today Is Monday March 22 2021, This Is What Happen

 I had every intention of blogging last night. And usual on Sunday I like to go though my weekly comment and take a some and post more on them.

One was about my retirement count down. Yes, I'm sort of counting down. What the plan is about count is. I plan to work 2021 and 2022. Then to give the company a fair mount of time to find some one. Liz and Regis deserve a caring person. So I believe the 2nd or 3rd of Jan 2023 I will call company and tell them start end of March I will be cutting my hours 8 hours. Between both my client they get 30.50 hours a week. Than end of June cut back anther 8 hours. End of September anther 8 hours. And end of December of 2023. I know if I didn't have dead line or bounds. The company might not line anyone up. 

Strange thing about pain. Is what a person can mange. I been talking about Regis pain. He even admit he has low pain level. It pretty hard to find a doctor that will prescripe any sort of pain pills, mostly if they have any sort of opioids in them. They now seem like they want to use alternative ways of treating pain. Such as physical therapy and exersise. With EFT TAPPING and PRESURE ACUPRESSURE. He both having physical and mental pain at this time. He is said he is going to see if he could find a doctor that would prescripe his old amount of Morphine. Which I believe was 4 pill at 15 mg of Morphine. Which equeal to 60 mg a day. So they been taking one pill a month and he all freak out there complete take hime off morphine. I honestly don't know if they will or cut back. He said he could handle 3 pills. But what happen if he start to have pain.

I'm still waiting for my snowdrop and crocus to bloom. Walk and Well being post tomorrow.

Today Is March 20 2021 This Is What Happen

 I decided to go one of my past posting. The date I choose or it choose me. Doesn't matter. JUNE 8 2006 As you can see Ostara was my sabbat. First day of Spring. Well I couldn't get past quiz to load, so I could re take. Well instead I went over and took the WITCH QUIZ I end up with a "Light Witch"...As a light with, you use your magic for good and always striving to help others. Because of your magical efforts, the world is a better place. Remember -light is the only thing to be the dark.

One usual think of spring cleaning. We did some project around the place. After last week of work. I wasn't going to bust my patootie. We haul the trash to transfer station. A little bit I will go bit of rant. Let stay on topic. Did some wood cleaning in basement, put up Christmas or as a pagan 'Yule" decoration. And got a few things to be dump off at local thrift store.

As we were at the transfer station with our garbage. The person who helps you. A very nice guy, Most I notice who work there. I would guess is retire. I know the one in Naples, has hippy girl and she will get things out of the dumpster for you. Personal I don't need any more stuff. Let get back to Paradise Dumpster transfer station. The guy had trump hat on and on the back of personal rig (pick up) a Trump flag. I have issue about people taking there politics and religion to job, mostly support by tax payer. Government property. Maybe a little smaller items would be much better. I'm a pagan and we have religious symbols. A christain has a cross. Us pagan have a Pentagram and the one I wear is less inch in size. No desire and think it rude to be in people face about religion or politics. 

Start to put some of my fabrics in there corect totes. 653 days to I call company I work for and telling them. Start looking for someone else. This way I will have more time to be creative. I thought I would be farther along on my stash buster 2 inch block quilt. But it coming. Seeing more day light in organizing my fabrics and lot of things. But still I wish things would move a little faster.

Today Is Friday March 19 2021. This Is What Happen

 Almost put my walk off. It was a tiring day at work. And a little later more on my day at work. So glad I can see retirement. 654 days I will call the company and tell them. I plan to cut my hours back end of March. 

Did mange to do my plan walk. to the third power pole. It been a goal of mine to walk to the orthdox church. This a view of toward my final walking destination. 

This is the view as I walk toward back home. This afternoon we had some showers. There still snow in Mountains, as you can see. Keeping a balance with my health has been a stuggle this week. I deal with bordom and stress with food. I do recongize this and so many time I have to be firm with my self. Or tell my self to wait and see if I need or want to do my behavior. 

Now let move on to work. This morning I went to Under the sun and got a cup of coffee. So I could do finish up my progress notes. So I was in there about half and hour. Went up to Regis and he said he is in so much pain with his hip going down to his knee. Well he been in there three times this week. When I was in there before he told them he hasn't taken his morophine, so they gave him his regualer dose. And he went home. Then comes Thursday he went and saw his regular doctor and she suggested physical therapy for his hip. Plus he get hold of his thearpist for him to learn tapping, self accure pressure point, and coping skills. So at hospital they gave him a shot of toradol and with any medicartion they wait 15 minutes for any major reaction. And he said it wasn't working. If they could give hime anther shot. They gave him a maxium doseage. And his regualer doctor said "no narocotic" he isn't going back. All the test any such shows nothing wrong as they see. They suggest he sees his orthpedic doctor, in case they miss something. But I don't know why someone doesn't talk to him about HEALTH ANXIETY 

Mange to get a A.T.C or A.C.E.O cards. I been working on eating  or kitchen theme. All of these cards been done in color pencils. And I'm taking part in PAINT PARTY FRIDAY. Did mange to get more of my fabric organized. Still is slow going, but it moving a long. 

I hope my upcoming week will be more layed back or to uneventful day. So for three reason. I can be more creativity, not so stressed out and so I won't use food as self medication, and get back to organizing. I been listen to this video from the SPOKANE UU and you thought 2020 was rough year. There actual had a lot of positive things happen. I tried to start link at 24 minutes in to the video. That where they talk about the new postive things that happen in 2020.

Today Is Wednesday March 17 2021, This What Happen

 Happy Saint Patty day and they're other observation for MARCH 17 and since I gor you here, Let see what goes on MARCH 18. There something to celebrate or bring awareness.

Went and visited My friend Quenella up on Katka Mountains. She had loveley crocus flower blooming. Nothing at my place is blooming. Not sure if you can see the fencing laying over the flowers or not. My flowers bed is pretty much ruin by deers. Once I retire I hope to gain back some of my flowerbeds. Plan to dig and give away half of my royal sunshine flowerbed, I name my flower beds. I like to put tree at end of flower bed. It would help with evening sun. But hubby and I have to agree on the tree type. First of all I don't want a spruce there. 

She I agree usual both political and spiritiual. She has all sort of cool items in her place. Not cold and aloof. So we visited for about an hour. Tour her garden and seen her chicken. I believe she has about 6 hen and rooster. This Is her little corner out side of her home and for some reason. I'm attract to it. 
Anyhow she thinking about attending the local Luthern and or Episcopal services. She was attending the local orthdox service. and they start to shun her. Because she has no desire of coming orthodox. 
The reason she might check out the local Luthern or Episcopal. She believe there LGBTQ friendly. Although I never heard any of these people being attact. But I'm not naive and saying there not in North Idaho. But there pretty well keep under the radar. No gay pride parade here. They had human right march ages ago here. And the local Milita was there with there guns and such. 
I would say three main religion here would be Evangeical, Mormon and mainline Protestant. 
I hope she finds what fill her needs. 

I know this isn't a very good photo of Molly the dog. I had to go work this afternoon. Regis hip is still bothering him. So tomorrow he has doctor appointment with his regular doctor. To see what going on with is hip. 
We did little art. I practice drawing. 

Organized some fabrics. Plan to stop by and read some blogs.

Today Is Tuesday March 16 2020 This Is What Happen

 Tuesday is my offical weigh in day. I start going back up as stress was being put on me. No need to keep drag the trouble though and though multi times. I figure how to work with in it sector.

I'm back down to 205.6 and next Tueday goal is 205.2 or less. If I do these three things...keep my calorie count between 1,600 and 1,800. Then drink water and physical activity. Usual I can get 2 of these done in day. Also keep my sweets down 1 day a week. 

Ended up taking Regis to hospital this morning. His hip was giving him trouble. He had hip replacements in past. So he had one of his neighbors around 11 at night to take hime to Emergency room, and give shot of toradol. And then I took him down this morning. Our hospital is small and they don't have a xray and lab on 24 hours a day. There on call. So when he was in hospital that evening. Not sure how it came about. But he didn't get Xray. With me, and xray department was fully going. They did an xray and everything looked normal. See during his hip replacement his hip pop out, and ended up in emergency room. He said felt like as his hip was coming out. With me they gave him anthor shot of toradol and he said he hasn't taken his morning morophine. So the toradol wasn't giving him any relief. So they gave him what would of been his 30 mg of morophine at hospital. So he slept most day.

Look like Murphy and I are going down to Oregon over Easter Weekend.

Today Is Sunday March 14 2021, This Is What Happen

 Had to look up a word "fortnightly" and I would said "Bi Monthly". Yesterday I was posting about my clients INCOME AND EXPENSIVE. They get paid once a month. CURRENCY EXCHANGE 


Let do a quick wrap up for week, not going cover a lot. I did mention the mask burning. Still don't know who went, and I doubt I would of had tea with any of them. Not wishing them ill or anything like that. Went over to our local health dist and it looks like look 97 people out of 1,000 been vacinated in my area, so far. The county populatin is about 12,000 people and 1,927 people had there shots. Hubby and I are one of them. Still low mask partcipation. Last few weeks been some what hard for me, and I will figure how to give my client care they need both physical and mentally. Between there mental health team. I picked up useful information that help me get though the pandemic. It not over. But I kept my wits. Having you all out in blogger land listen, Thank you. 


Today Hubby and I decided to take walk up myrtle creek falls trail. I would a least once or twice a week like to walk in different area in my community. Today hike wasn't hard. We had minor issues. Both of us need to exersise our heart and lungs more. Picking up pace when we walk. And hubby had some balance issue. And feels he might need a walking stick. After we cross bridge notice this wall of ice. 

As we drove home. We talk a little bit on where we want to live after I retire. Both of us will have a limited income. The house we're in has no mortgage on it. Just up keep, taxes, insurance, and monthly bills. There would be no way at present time we could of purchased this home. So for now we figure it would be best to set still. My main grib about this area is not enough progressive. Hubby and I both argree if we move. We will leave Idaho. Anyhow hubby doesn't understand his sister Faith moving to Post Falls. 

I can't say finished up. I got some pages done in my bullet journal. There some pretty fancy ones, that people put more time into it. On the odds days I go for a walk, unless it raining or something like that. I can then use tread mill. Even days I will do my streaching exersises. And like my getting healthy I have creative time. C.T stands for creavity time and O.C stands for orgranizing crafts. As for my main creative time, not sure what I will be doing this up coming week. The only thing I know, my next tarot card I will be doing will be 2 of cups. Not sure when I will start it. 

I decided to draw one orcle card. or I sometime I call wisdom, or area I need to work on. The question they ask...Is your ego out of control? At this time I would have to say  I feel like I'm be "trampled on." Although I'm coming long, Gaining control of my self. I do have choices on what I can do....Lion people can be self absorbing?... With change in work I was worried my clients wouldn't get care as any human should have and deserve. My other worried I was going to be short changed in pay. I been in some abuse work sitution. And thought I might been heading into anther one.... Is it time to cooperated more, be part of pride? Confession time...I just don't get the last one of cooperating more, be part of pride. Around here. To me it would mean be part group like OATH KEEPER and no thank you. Once I retire I like to be involved in my local musuem, and both the quilt guild, and art club. Nothing heavy poliltical in there groups....Let go of conflict? The only real conflict I mainly having is with my self, and that is my own doing. I need to go over with clients about the electronic time clocks. They will do it. Or simple they will loose there services I give them. It like fighting city hall and this isn't battle I'm willing to take on. My creativity and health trumps the changes at work. Three key words for lion is....Rising Sun "I will rise" Bravery "I will stand my ground when I being put on unjustly" and Enthuism "I will put my best foot forward in all I do"

Hubby and I replanted a wondering jew plant, and I put more solor lights out. It was still light after six this evening. Lunch time it was 55 degrees.

Stay safe and coffee is on

Saturday, March 13, 2021

Today Is Saturday March 13 2021, This Is What Happen.

 Today would of been my dad 116 birthday. That's right. I had older parents. My mom was 37 years old when I was born. Uncommon back in those days. I was born in 1960. Most time back then family got started right after the honeymoon, or sometime before. My dad was 56 years old when I was born. Following month he turn 57 years old. 

The entire week been somewhat hard on me. Both physical and emotionally. I'm trying to find that balance. One step at time. And there were a few things I want to bring up, what going on in my little world.

It really flips my wig, when someone takes advantage. These people😠from anyone standing on street corner.  Regis has what one might say PETER PAN SYNDROME and let give credit due where it do. He does pay his bills. But there other thing he doesn't feel the desire to have or take care of. Like things for your home like shower curtains, for while he had some just in threads. And current time he has no dishclothes or dishtowels. His housing over head isn't all that much. He get about $800. So rent is $189, his pharmacy is about $45, his energy is about $75,(during the covid he got help on this- so he hasn't had to pay) and his marijuna habit is about $275 and he give me $125 hold. See by the 15th he usual flat broke. When first start to work for him. I ask what he does rest of the month. He says "mooch"💰and like it didn't bother him. So he spends right around $100 on toys. Plus his sister send $100 a month an that also get him toys. So right now he working on jupiter 2 from lost and space. I have to say he has quite the collection of things, it actual could go into a museum. So I order things for him. He want the werewolf model it was $20 and $13 for shipping, I'm around the numbers. So for $34. It comes and I get a note in my mail box that the package was inspected. The people who was selling it send it MEDIA and it didn't fall under media, no way. So they paid $4 to ship it. So I went talk to Regis and explain these people are frauds. And this point he got rip off for $9 and the post office wants us to pay for the remainning shipment cost of $46. I try to explain to him what was going on. These people are involved in mail fraud. So he want to pay the $46. So he could get his toy. The person who was Naples postoffice turn them in for fraud and I will also get hold postal inspector. Plus reported to Ebay, now you know it seller on ebay.  Me personal I would send it back to where the package came from with the bird. 

Now Liz found out there raising her rent up by $75. She part of H.U.D and she has a voucher. In our community her price limit for rent was let say $350. I don't recall the exact amount. It way low for market value. She couldn't find a place in that price range, and she did get place and had to pay a $100 under the table. So all was going well. The owners of apartment building sells it. And the new owners start to work on buildings, which need to be done. And realestate market is going gang buster here. So now here monthly rent will be $475 and not including utlilties. My guess these apartment is renting for $800 to $1200 a month. So like Regis her income is $800. And currently she has credit on her utlities from covid energy program. Her beer and cigerettes is about $300 a month. She drinks 4 to 6 beers a day and pack of smokes. Plus she has a rig. Medication is under $10 a month. And I would guess her libility on her rig about $30 a month. So she over extended by $25. My three suggestion is quite drinking and smoking. Her beer and smokes is about the same price. Even if she quite one or the other it will give her an extra $150 a month. She taking care of her grandson and they offer to pay her. She couldn't take money for Grandma baby sitting. I told her they would feel being responsible and better about them self if they paid you. Grandma don't need to charge full price. $20 a week and that would cover your car insurance and part of your up keep on your rig. Then my last two suggestion was to move in with her son and his family. But he would need a larger place. And basicly rent room from him. "It quite not like sandwich generation" Confession time..In today market if I had to make mortage or rental payment on my place I couldn't do it. The rent or mortage would be in price range of $1,500 to $2,500. At rate there no way I could retire. Since place is paid off, we can keep living cost down. My last suggestion was try to find a cheaper place. She has a hud vorcher and it good any place in United States. It hard to work in there financial restraints. 

As for home front. We put on the little legs on dryer, which should been done when we first got it. That was pretty easy. We had trouble putting the vent pipe to back of dryer. Sound simple enough. So we end up watching you tube video. And figured it all out. We were putting it on upside down. Put sometime in my bullet journal. Already set the clock forward in living room. Daylight saving time.

Today Is Friday March 12 2021, This Is What Happen

 It took me while to do my version of "wheel of fortune" tarot card. A lot going on in this card. Part of it was technique of some of the so called items in drawing. The wheel I want more of effect of looking in a colorful tunnel.


The key point is wheel of fortune card is "change" And once change starts happening is how we deal with it. Remember we do have choices in most matters. In front of drawing there two stands with arrows, one going clockwise and the other is going counter clockwise. In lot of wheel of fortune there symbols of fixed sign in zodiac signs, which are Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius, and Taurus. And also from each elements. Water, Fire, Air and Earth. I decided to use tools that one might use to fix things. I picked two of them personally. My pick was needle and thread, plus the glue. The other two was picked by someone else. As you notice bubble gum and leatherman (swiss knife) Also look up the items in corner as I was dreaming about them. In the circle is tools from each of elements of paganism. Done with color pencils and other talent artist takes part in PAINT PARTY FRIDAY 

Once again I'm tired. Once I turn 61 I come home tired and beat. I have few things I want to blog about. How my one client was taken advantage of. I know if I had less weight on me I would be as tired. See lot people who does in home care usual ends up on disabilty

 Yesterday I thought I would post about the local school levy and my two state representives. I'm just plain beat from work. 

Hubby got his second vaccine for covid. Since the shot sent him for loop. Sometime I wonder about men and their sickness and pain. It been said if man gave birth they wouldn't do it second time. So I got a television dinner, it didn't have any veggies in it. So I got bag of small frozen brussel sprounts. As I was watching the news hour. I iron some fabrics.

Today Is Tuesday March 9 2020, This Is What Happen

 

I just like the brich trees in front of pine and fir trees. No leaves yet, and notice some tulips agaist people places are up, although nothing in bloom.

Last week was diffucult for me. I talk to one of people in office about the electronic visit verification. And I was wondering about taking my client out in community. Opinion time...I think clients should be given more time to socialize. The only thing the state and private insurance wants us to do is like I said take them to nessuary things, like to get food and anything medical. But taking them to local museums and such there having a fit. I believe this will have negative effect on those who are getting personal or home care in there home, in long run.

I haven't been out for walk for sometime. I took short walk after work. They put in a new street and I believe the street is called "selkirk" and in photo your looking at selkirk mountain range. I haven't been doing fitday and not being accoutable at all this week. Anyhow I was hoping to stay the same weight. I hurt so bad last week or so. I didn't get much exersise in. My main exersise was work and pacing for the pain. Well I was up a little over a pound. Is it an excuse or not. I forgot to get my HYDROCHLOROTHIAZINE. See I have slightly elevate blood pressure and edema. So drink water and exersise is important. If I set to much my ankle and lower leg swell up. Not my feet. So today weigh in was 207.4. My next Tuesday weigh in should be less then 206.6 or less. First thing I ate this morning was two and half scrambled eggs. Last thing I ate took bite into were pork chops.

Did little bit of ironing of fabric during the news hour.

Today Is Monday March 8 2021, This Is What Happening

 Pain pretty much gone, or down a lot. We have roller for massage. Well best way to explain it like roll your muscules with a rolling pin. Does feel great! And that will work also. Just think your be rolled out like pie crust. It loosen the muscules.

I keep thinking what I want do when I retire. Like be more involved with my local community, giving back. Don't want to be involved with any political leaning. Although I know there politics in every thing. But nothing heavy duty. I'm thinking of being more into our local arts and quilter group. And help with our museum. I haven't forgot about the studio in the basement.

I mange to take in a few items to the thrift store. I did go in and see if they had any yellow fabrics. They didn't I didn't buy anythings. Hoping to take a few more items in this week. 

Found these LETTERS from 1930 over at Smithsonian site. I have thing about reading old personal journals, diaries, and or letters. They don't need to have a title behind the person who wrote them. Sure there a few famous journals or letters I would like to read. I found this interesting about donating to an REPOSITORY. Opinion time...I think every town musuem should have couple of people keeping a personal journal of what is going on with them personal and the area, feeling and such. It doesn't mean the same people have to do it from year to year.

I forgot to mention there was a mask burning, in Idaho. Our town of Bonners Ferry had one also. Have no ideal how many attended.

Today Is Sunday March 7 2021, This Is What Happen

 I been blogging for long time, since 2005 and I was forty five years old and my oldest son would of been 17 and my youngest one would of been 15. So I want to look back at random post, so I use a random number generator. Put in 0 to 1,000 and it came up with 918. So I went to my 918th POST and had 2 comments and wonder if these people was still blogging, doesn't look like it.

Since I been doing genealogy I really don't have that much Irish in me. I'm only about 6% Irish. So actual more Sweden, Germanic Eurpope, Wales 12%, Scotland 26%, and England and Northwest Europe 39%. People do get around. 

Still working out the stress pain. Not knowing how this will all work out about going electronic time clock. At this point I can't set any personal bounds about the electonic visit verififcation. How do you set bounds on something you don't know about, and kinks need to be worked out.

Today was a lazy day, and we all need them. I woke up from mussle pain do to the worry. I keep telling my self or reminding my self. Worrying over something you don't know about.


Early this morning I had dream. I was living some place else, in neighborhood there was a lot concreate and colorful building serveral stories high. And swimming pool, no one was using it. But I had tupperware gravy shaker full of cocaine. And I hid the shaker full of cocaine in public (goverment) water main valve. Right in front of video camera. So one day I went and got the cocaine. And looked up at camera, and thought this is real dumb thing in front of camera and also hiding it in public water valve. I woke up. 

I talk eariler with my son Bart. Worked on my bullet journal still have things to put in it. Watch a D.V.D on R.B.G (Ruth Bainer Ginberg) I did finish up drawing my version of tarot card wheel of fortune. Now I still need to color it in. And I will use colored pencils.

Today Is Saturday March 6 2021, This Is What Happen

 Today would of been my Grandma Olive birthday, she would of been 127 years old, if she was a live. 

As many of you know our company and state of Idaho is going to EVV and already other place is doing this system. Actual Idaho is behind the times. I have friends who also do personal care in other states and they been using the EVV system. My last BLOG POST I wrote about it. I figure there will be some adjustment time for both clients and I. If I under stand it, I would compare it to a time clock. I was brooding on it, which might not be even true. 

Had to change my routine a bit, or I was forced in to slight change. During the week I ended with what is called STRESS PAIN. I pretty much cut down my personal routine. Although it was just cut back and I knew I need to heal and figure it out. 

So Monday I will get hold of the company. My client wants to know if someone will come in there home to set it up, and if so will they be wearing mask. And they want to know if they need wi-fi or if it going to use a lot of data. See neither one of my clients have wi-fi. My concern is going out in community with my clients. 

A lot home care and personal care is set up or they like us to more less if I was working on machine. See people have emotional needs as well. The state would like us to ignore this or they have trouble recognizing.

Surely don't want to go five paragraphy on my job. Glad I'm close to retirement.

Paid a few bills. It seems like everyweekend I end up clear off the table. Don't yet have the husband train about toss junk mail in garbage can, and bills in file. But he does house work. 

Back to weekend chores, which includes creative time.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Tuesday March 3 2021, This Is What Happen

Still having trouble with the blue mix personality trait. I'm curious person. Time to move one.

Weight inn, not up or down. Stayed the same. And a few times I thought I was going to FALL OFF WAGON But somehow I mange to HANG ON BY THREAD The changes in my job kinda of got to me. Well little latter on I will tell about the stress of work. It part of my well being. I didn't do fit day or much of it. I would have to use the term a bumpy ride.

I been having some pain issues, pain from stress. The drive to Spokane on Saturday got to my shoulders. Use to drive all over the place. Now I find it nerve racking. Then I find out about ELECTRONIC VISIT VERIFICATION I will admit there fraud. But it SOCIAL ECONOMICS ISSUE. The people who help my clients such as social workers (case mangements) and therapist that comes in there home. At this time isn't under the E.V.V. See, to me there more to home care, then cooking a meal, hygience, and cleaning. See my client wants me to attend their doctor appointments with them. Mostly Regis. Plus they need to get out in community and socialize. Opinion time...This is like teathering me to their  home of my clients, and it isolate them more. So if I leave my clients home and assist them at doctor appointment or such. And E.V.V can't pick up us or me on the job. Question time...Would the E.V.V would consider me not there. I been trying to get hold of my employer to find out about this. Statement time...I just won't work off the clock. Hopefully it all comes out in wash.

Today Is Monday March 1 2021, This Is What Happen

 Quick a bit about today. Weather nice, look like the in personal care going to electronic progress notes. Both clients and I have question. More later on, once I know what going on.

I feel a little stress and anxious about this electronic progress notes. I know it would adventully come. See my client has nothing to do with private insurance companies. Which I'm thankfull for. I will give an example of what happens with a private company that covers cost of taking care of clients. If you drive client to doctor appointment and attent the appointment with client. Your on doctor time and your to check out and once you return home. Their clients wisho have issues for what ever reason, and needs assistance at doctor office. So private insurance looks at as double billing. State don't look at that way. 

Guess I'm not doing a personality test. It not coming up.
