What's everybody doing today?

Been working on the new building today. Got one sheet of plywood left to put up on the east wall. Just before I quit for the day the ladder broke through the snow and dumped my butt on the ground. The high temp today was 25 degs, perfect working temps, until the wind picked up. Had snow flurries off and on all day. It's supposed to start cooling down tonight to single didgets or lower. There isn't much more that I can do to the new building except put siding up on the south gable end, build shelves, start wiring the electrical outlets and installing lights. Phase 2 and phase 3 will have to wait until spring.

First full day back at work—that really sucked. Extremely busy and no increase in our hours budget. Pharmacist and I decided to just go over the budget. Worse they can do is fire us.

Had my first issue this morning giving dad his feeding through the tube. Actually it was his meds. Even though they were ground fine some it clogged the port connected to the tube itself. Visiting nurse had to come and get it moving again.

Brother goes home tomorrow morning. I’ll be moving into Dad’s house after he leaves. We’re still trying to figure out what to do starting next week when he is gone back upstate and I’m back at work. I’ve cut my hours back to 30 (the minimum to maintain full time status and benefits). Dad will be alone for 3 1/2 hours in the morning then 3 hours in the afternoon. He doesn’t need care—he moves around fine with the walker. We’re worried he won’t stay motivated to get off the sofa and keep moving .

Went errand running this afternoon...Harbor Freight for stuff husband wanted, the amish place for the good cheese, and then filled a cart at Aldi. Going thru my list of stuff to do before the big cold moves in tomorrow night. We're going to have a busy day tomorrow.
