"I need a six month vacation twice a year"

It  is Friday--  I am late blogging-- Himself was to see a Doctor in the clinic this AM---booked by our daughter--who lives in Ohio -- BUT--  (There is always a "but"!)- I had booked an appointment to renew my driver's Licence plus my health card--Yesterday I stopped in the Licence office and booked it--Anyway---  for me to get Himself to the Dr's office would take me a very long time----It is on the 3rd floor of the medical  building-so---- I went to renew the licence and Health card -thinking I'd do that first---and--  they were closed--The Lady yesterday  did not tell me that to-day is a national Holiday -banks and gov't offices are closed---- so--we went to town, but accomplished nothing--not his ears  nor the health card and the Drivers licence.

Too bad our daughter didn't ask me when would be a good day to take Himself somewhere--It would be nice to have SOMEONE check his ears-----  AND, it would've been good to have a new Health Card plus a new Driver's licence--Nothing worked out--

And--you know what?-- It would've been nice to have one of the kids drive Himself to get his ears checked--Kids never think of that!--

So, between you and me, I am "pooped"--running all over town, and accomplishing nothing--- Life is busy, living with a 93 year  old who does not hear-----Oh well!--  There is always another day-- and Himself seems happy--said he didn't want to have is ears checked anyway--so, it's not worth worrying about-It must be a quiet world for him--Funny thing tho--He does hear the TV--- strange eh??-- -  Lord love a Duck!

  1. Oh my goodness! What a frustrating day! One of those days when you have to keep your wits about you (as my Mom used to say!)

    Hope those appointments get taken care of sooner than later! **SIGH**

  3. Himself has selective hearing! He can focus on the television! Hope it was a nice day with all the driving. Now you will need to reschedule those appointments? Too bad you can't do the DL and health card online!
    Pets must've held up, though.
    Today will be better...only place to go is up!
    We got news! MN has declared October 1 as the day the heat must be turned on in multiple dwelling units. I will finally be warm. And out elevator will be inspected on Monday. Only the weekend and part of Monday to go walking up 3 flights of stairs. I may continue doing that at times, though. My legs, especially the front of my thighs, feel so much stronger.

  4. Good Grief! Why would the person giving you the appointment NOT know that the date was a day off, in the first place?? So they came in to work today and found out then, too?? And poor you, driving around all over the place! This world is going nuts. And your daughter in Ohio, making doctor appointments for Himself, here, not asking or telling? That’s nuts, too. Maybe she needs to see a doctor herself! I’d be angry. I’d be fed up, too. You do deserve a vacation! Truly!

  5. I'm sure that was an awful feeling, running around and not being able to accomplish even ONE of the things on your list. Deep breath, slow down, there will be another day to do those things. I know, I know, hard to tell oneself that, isn't it?

    Onward! Good news, I heard from DebraT (former Sparker) down in Naples, FL, that she's OK, without power, without regular internet or regular cell service, but alive and breathing... and that's good news. Thank heavens she gave me her e-mail addy when Spark shut down and I was able to contact her. So if anybody else among the readership knew her, the you have it... good news!

  7. Being fed up is putting it mildly! What a waste of your precious time and energy! Geez! AND why would an appointment be scheduled without consulting with you about possible time conflicts? Wow… ❤️ Eissa7

  8. Lynda only the federal regulated offices were closed, provincial were open. I know because I actually went today to get my licence and my health card renewed. Also the plate registration for the car. They have to mail them out because I had to go for a new picture this time. Plates can be done online. So hopefully you can get it done on Monday. I can't believe your daughter would make an appointment with consulting you and yes, your sons should help you out with appointments for himself. Hopefully the weekend gets better.

  9. Oh dear what a frustrating time. Surprised your daughter made apts for you but I assume you have some kind of
    arrangement about that.
    It will all work out. Today was a trial run lol. Interesting that Fred can hear TV. Dont quite get that.
    I'm sitting in ER all day. We went to Dr. BUT she was unable to order procedures....so....we've been here since 11am. Think we'll get out. Hubs has lots of issues so I relate to your struggles.
    Hang in
    Stay positive
    Hugs

  10. very frustrating and unfortunate that your kids don't get that you are dealing with all of this, all of the time. I made a point to offer to take my mom to appointments when I visited so my dad would get a break. and he took me up on it! I had to encourage him to finally get some help as I know it was too much for him. Hugs
