Hi ship mates!

I've been super busy and haven't had a chance to catch-up on all the posts. I hope everyone is doing well and staying cool. Today was 101 in SC!

Mom is holding her own and looking forward to my sister coming to visit in August.

I'll try read through and see what everyone is up to. I hope moms, dads, pa and all you caregivers are doing well.

It's hot in Michigan, but hotter elsewhere. How you doing in the heat, Bobbie?

Hi Di! Nice to read you. Austin, you, too.

Sure seems strange to not hear from lhardebeck in so long. Same goes for you, Miz! Everything OK, ladies?

There are lots missing. Just posted on Pamela's new thread. Did you all see it?

How are you, PirateGal?

Loooooooong time no hear, from some MIA. (If I didn't have part-timers, I'd name names.)

SS, yes, everything is okay here. Same old same old I guess.

Mom seems down and hubby asked her his name the other morning and she said she should know it but she didn't and she said she didn't know my name. Caregiver says she uses my name when I'm gone like when am I coming home?

I'm not having any luck finding a part time job. Hubby is at a job interview right now so please give us some good thoughts and prayers. That would help a lot if he gets it. Benefits and everything. He got a hair cut yesterday.

lharde, I'm glad your pa is doing good and hope you are having a good visit with your brother.

I have so much to do around here and no get up and go. I try to do one thing a day that I really don't want to do or that is hard for me. With each thing I reward myself with a break on the porch.

SS, what's Pamela's new thread?

love,
miz

Pamela's thread: "Mom snapped yesterday, became incoherent...had to call 911..."

Praying for your hubby's interview, Miz. God be with him, and give him mercy and grace!

Bobbie, are you on the boat, yet?

Linda, nice to hear your dad enjoyed his visit. Too bad for the allergies. I can relate. Shots help!

Hugs to all!

Hello Maties,

yes. Officially! I am supposed to go down on the 14th, but we shall see because I am responsible for moving everything out of the building first.

The Quakers came today, bless their hearts, and took all of the childrens' books and some shelving and will return in 3 days to pick up more shelves.

Junk book buyer coming on Monday to take the mas market paperbacks and Hardbacks, like the Tom Clancy, Nora Roberts...stuff like that.

All rare books and doo dads coming here to the house and we are getting there Ship mates.

I have had heat sickness a few times and it hits me harder each time so I am protecting myself by delegating and hydrating.

Been at this hard core moving stuff since 7am so I need a nap.

You guys stay strong and before I go upstairs I want to see Pamela's thread. how awful.

Linda, glad your pa's bloodwork and all came back good. How's the toes?

Miz: prayers for you and your husband. you can do this!

SS....I'm dying in the heat but dealing as best as possible and not taking chances.

Deef! gonna be in your neck of the woods in about 6 weeks.

Maxine: you've got my respect working out in the garden. Whatta job!

You're right we need rain so badly, everything is brown and I know that my water bill is going to be frightening and I'm not even worrying about the lawn, just the bushes.

Where is everybody? SS is right... we've got some MIA.

love you guys and hang in there.

Meet the Barbara B

I know some of you have seen her before, but here she is again with her sold notice.

Congratulations, Bobbie! You certainly deserve a break for all your effort and hard work (as many of you angels do). I pray you stay healthy, so you can enjoy your reward.

Thanks SS. this has indeed been a rough road.
The cleaning out of the building is hot on my mind right now and thank God we are getting a litle break from the heat. hope to get some heavy rain tomorrow.

I am determined to sleep on the boat Wednesday night, but we shall see..
something could pop up as we all well know.

love you guys.... never got that nap so now I'm up to sleep. Just pooped.

LOL lhardebeck @ hubby stubbing his toes. :)

Hubby didn't take the job. The pay was way too low for the job and the dangers the job entails. Also, they are "working on benefits, hopefully in September". So...he will do his e-bay business for now and hopefully something else will come up. I need a part time badly but there doesn't seem to be much good out there. We are just taking one day at a time.

bobbie, the Barbara B is so awesome. I'm so excited for you. I'm worrying with you and the heat. We almost lost my dad once to heat stroke. Very scary.

Love to all of you. I'm so glad you're here. Be well. More later.

love,
miz

Holy sh!@@! Bobbie! I don't know much about boats, but I can see this one is a beauty! Lucky you. If there is one place I would like to spend the rest of my life, it would be next to water, preferably the ocean.
When will you be out my way? Are you coming to Mass or just the New England area?
Linda, Miz, I don't smoke, but need a coffee as soon as I get out of bed! Can't get going without it! I'm with the rest of you when it comes to energy lately. It must be the weather. I got up this morning and felt like I was drugged.Now that can be a good thing, but not so much this morning. Had to get the trash out on the street for pick up, and just couldn't get going! I've actually been able to get in my pool quite a bit this year, already. The last 2 years, I barely got in because of Mom and the weather.
I will be picking my older sister up from the airport on Saturday. Can't wait. Haven't seen her since last summer, when she came for her 3 week stay. Mom had just gotten out of nursing home, so we couldn't leave her, and our other siblings wouldn't help out so that we could get away. This year I have Merry ( she is amazing!), so we will be able to actually enjoy the visit.
Austin, what a pain watering the plants has been. My water bill is going to be horrendous! The rates are so high now, we try to conserve wherever we can, especially with all the laundry from Mom!
Got to go get Mom up in a few. Take care everyone, and try to keep cool!

Deef! I thought that you were in the Charleston area... my bad.

I want to take her north next summer so I can visit SS and Miz and DEEF!

I am still working my butt sore (low back killin me) to get the building empty.

Hot hot hot and I just want to live through this, just like we all just want to live through all of the caregiving challenges we face.

Still cryin once and again. The other day I went into a restaurant that mom and I used to go to and one of the waitresses put down a card and said, so sorry about your mom and I lost my mind right in the middle of the place. man, I miss her and I bang around this house talking to her and my daddy.
That same waitress said that everybody thought that mom and I were like 2 peas in a little pod. so sweet and heartbreaking at the same time.

I wear a little dolphin necklace now... maybe you guys remember the dolphin story...

You all are so strong and speaking of strong, wait till you have coffee with me on the BOAT. 2 cups of this stuff and you'll want to paint a barn.

love you all and let's keep on keepin on.

big hug back to you and yes i miss my other half like crazy, but his dad is going through surgery tomorrow so say a prayer. He needs to be with his dad and I need to wrap up the business here.

you let me know and all you have to do is let me know when and i'll know where the boat should be and we'll go from there.

I use French Roast combined with Espresso Roast, grind my own and use a French Press. oohhh baby.
