"I miss this place! " |
As much as I enjoy that "FB" place and getting to know peeps a bit more, I miss this place. A little update on life.
DH is still battling Parkinson's. One of his biggest struggles is speaking clearly or loud enough to be heard (Rudy knows about this problem). We have our ups and downs but we get by taking one day at a time. After losing my job in 2014, I didn't go back to work. Started my SS last year (yes, I'm that old). Enrolled in an Obamacare plan for this year. With tax credits, my part of the monthly premium is only $97. But very high deductible for everything except an annual physical makes one think more than twice about going to a doctor for anything else. Having vision problems tho and will have to go after the first of the year to try to get my eye fixed (the one that had the detached retina & cataract). We've been visiting DH's kids more in the last two years. It's been nice to have the time to go whenever we want to - or at least when he feels up to the travel. We lost our dear 16 year old MinPin Butch in January 2016. Our Beagle Sara disappeared on us the month before that. I was not in favor of getting another dog. I knew who would have to take care of it. But I relented and in early August our little Jack Daniels took over our lives. LOL He is a Chig - half pug and half Chihuahua. He's 5 months old now and a handful! But he's cute as can be - everyone says so.  So. that's about all for me now. Or enough anyway.
What's up with you?

Glad to hear you're doing fairly okay, bug, in spite of the trouble your hubby is having with Parkinson's.I'm hoping to hold off on drawing SS until max age at 70-1/2. I need to build up some more years of employed salary in the US after living abroad (and not paying SS taxes) for 20 years. Every year I work increases the SS benefits I'll get later. Last weekend, I just moved my mom into a very nice retirement community in the college town where I live (and where was born, and met my wife in class). Alas, my dad refuses to move from the farmhouse where they've lived for almost 50 years (and where I spent most of my childhood). The place is falling apart and serious disrepair, but my dad refuses to have anyone come help and work on the place to maintain it. It got so unlivable that my mom felt that she had to move out. They've come to terms with the new arrangement between themselves and I've been busy helping my mom get moved and settled in. In all other respects, live is good with me and my family and friends, for which I am very thankful.

Having your dad stay at the farmhouse must be tough! Stubborn doesn't quite describe him, huh?I went to visit my dad two days before Christmas and found him on the bedroom floor, barely conscious. It turns out that he had suffered another stroke (the previous one two years ago) and I called 911 to get him to a hospital. He was in ICU for almost two weeks and I got news earlier this afternoon that he had passed on. I took my mother up to see him last Tuesday, so she got a chance to have a final time with him. I arranged then for a priest to conduct last rites at the hospital while she was there. We all knew this was coming, but it came a lot sooner than we expected, just weeks after I moved my mom here to where she could get assisted living and physical therapy to get her strength back. I have a lot of things to take care of in the next several days, so I'll likely be taking a time out from posting here for a while. Take care, jbug, you're a good lady, in every sense of the word.

I arranged for a military service for my dad on MLK day (Monday), complete with the gun salute and the handover of the flag to my mom. He was an awarded Korean War veteran. It made my mom very happy for us to honor my dad this way in lieu of the traditional funeral services.

Add my condolences. I too buried my parents ashes recently. We made it into a festive occasion of celebration in the Hill Country of Texas, but there was no denying the deep sadness that we all felt.

I'm sorry for your loss. You WILL miss her. I miss my mother more than I could ever have imagined.

MY own update -- not much has changed, other than a date with cataract surgery in May. Thankfully, my HMO will cover it. I'm amazed at the procedure I was shown. I'll be giving myself a special birthday treat (well, 4 days early) when I go to St. Jo, Missouri to enjoy the total solar eclipse that is going to pass across the entire continental US. Finally, I worked out that I've got three more school opening days to go until retirement. (my siggie list has gone missing)

That eclipse is on Monday, August 21 and my daughter is begging me to take our family to somewhere near St. Louis where the eclipse will pass. I'll keep an eye on the weather patterns in advance and pick a spot along the path where visibility is expected to be good. I'll have to take a vacation day or two from work and my daughter will need a good excuse slip to skip school (I wonder if "watching total solar eclipse" will pass?).
