Went over town this A.M. as it is a sunny day. Cashed a check for Mar. expenses; got vitamin E at CVS & went into D&K, a favorite place to look around.
Last week I saw Dr. Keverline for my eyes. And I do have a cataract & arranged to have it taken care of Mar. 16th. He asked me if I'd lost weight & if I get hot - I said I've lost weight & I do get warm but mostly when I working & the house temp.l is at 72 - for Dad's sake. Next Tues. the 2nd I was suppose to see Dr. McNett but now he won't be in the office but I can see the nurse - more than an RN - a Dr. asst. but I can't recall the title. She is very nice. Oh yes Dr. K. wonders if it's thyroid & gave me ma note to give Dr. McN.
Dad has fallen several times this past week. Mostly because he is so ornery & won't listen. Many times he tries to hit me & as a result falls - loses his balance.
Larry & Kim think I should talk to Mark Patterson & make arrangements for a funeral. Many people do that today & it makes it easier at the time of death. I don't see how Dad hangs on. He eats so little & now he's sleeping more. It's hard to feel bad as he has a way of making things so difficult. I guess I'll have to remember the first 50 years & forget the rest when the time comes.
Tomorrow I get a permanent & I really need one. Suppose to be in the mid 40s.
We are enjoying golf on T.V. Really interesting this week as it is a one on one tournament.
I agree with what you said about the Yankees. And L.A. spending all that money on a pitcher. Of course my Mets did that on the catcher. Time will tell. It's not an equal situation for all the teams.
Talked to Gen this week & she said she, Edna & Linda (Millie's daughter) all have or had thyroid trouble & take medication. I didn't know that.
Got a new lampshade & it matches one I got before. They are lighter & make things brighter.
Morning are lighter at 6:30 A.M. & afternoons are lighter longer, almost to 6 pm. Nice. Thoughts of spring.
Until July 2010, when her eyesight deteriorated, my mother wrote 1000s of chatty letters during her lifetime - to her parents, in-laws, sisters, children, friends. Tho she started to write to me on a regular basis in Sept '68 when I began my freshman year at SUNY-Buffalo, it wasn't until 10 years later that I decided to hold onto them. (Very inconsistently at first, to which the big gaps between dates attest.) These are the letters transcribed, annotated, and otherwise highlighted here.
