Busy week

 It was a very busy week.  

Tuesday ...I had lunch with my sister and our cousins.  It has been a while since we got together.   It was good catching up over lunch instead of at a funeral.

Wednesday...I did some "stuff" and then went to the Dentist...no cavities or work needed. We picked up our grocery order at Walmart and went out for cheeseburgers. 

Thursday...I accompanied Far Guy to his weekly Infusion.  Back at home I worked on some Tax forms...gave up WTF...and made a trip back into town to our accountant...he will fix it all.  (Long story short  I did not take my required minimum distributions...I asked for them to be paid but Thrivent dropped the ball so now it is the accountant's mess. ) Then I dropped off a very old flimsy from 1995 at my Cousin Wilma's home.  She has a quilting machine and it will be perfect and done.  It was a very old hand stitched Grandmother's Garden Pattern that I thought I would eventually hand quilt...but the RA in my hands says no. 

In between times I have been working on Christmas Cards.

My four cards a day is working out..in fact I am a bit ahead.  I could take a day or two off! 

Far Guy is tired and very short of breath...we read the radiologist's report today and he not only has a Saddle Pulmonary Embolism but many small emboli in all the lobes of his lungs.  It may take a long time for him to feel better. 

What's cooking?  Chili out of the freezer for me.  Far Guy had a Subway Sub...Philly Cheesesteak something with lots of "stuff" on it. 

Minnesota Weather:  Sunny and chilly.  High 36F or 2C  Low 20F or -7C.

  1. I'll keep Far Guy in my healing prayers. Our tax code is quite complicated. I wish is weren't that way.

  2. Wishing Far Guy a continued recovery. It must be frustrating for him and worrisome for you.
    Hopefully the accountant can straighten things out for you, and your financial services company handles the fall-out.

  3. That was a lot going on. Those emboli sound very scary!! I hope he continues to get better, but I'm sure he is feeling impatient about it being a slow process.

  5. I sure hate to hear that about Far Guy. I hope he feels better very soon. You are always working on something. Bet the Christmas cards will be beautiful.

  6. Prayers for farguy. Just went to the doctor Wednesday and my oxygen level was down and I knew it because it's been harder to breathe and more tired! We take our good health for granted until we don't have it!

  7. I'm sorry Far Guy is struggling. One day at a time and they have him on the right path! Thanks for the trigger to call my accountant. I need to get some ducks in a row and it's been on my list.

  13. You sound like you have had a great week with energy to get things crossed off the list! Very happy for you - - especially the good report from the dentist and getting to visit and have fun with family. Thankful for accountants and their knowledge, too.
    My heart hurts for your sweet husband. Praying he can recover as quickly as possible but now he has additional issues going on in his respiratory system - - more than ever before. Hope he can rest as he should and that the medicine will continue to do what it is designed to do. Prayers for some unexpected tangible encouragement to come his way to help give him a distraction from his new "bump in the road". I have told you before that he is like the old Timex commercial that takes a lickin' and keeps on ticking'. Look at the COVID and pneumonia he has beaten the past couple of winters! He comes from strong stock as the saying goes.

    1. He has avoided COVID so far as the Doctors have said COVID would kill him.
