   It's a Thirsty Thursday! How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning but she will up and making her way to the gym to start her day. Any plans for today?

   The coffee just finished brewing and my cup is full. It is going to be a busy morning for me so says Alexa. First I will be taking the Tacoma in for a routine service. Have to have it ready for our upcoming trip to New Mexico.

   Chris was glad to see me this morning because "Harvey" paid him a visit during the night. He was flooded due to his catheter was kaput. "Harvey" is a bad @#$$#@! Smile!

   I have my duffel bag all packed and ready to hit the DDC with Dottie later today. We are hoping to hear the sound of "Cha Chings". Jayne will be here caring for Chris while we are away.

   Have a great day!
Later......Jessie and Elise

  

Howdy!

Howdy!

Hey how are you doing so far on this Hump Day? It is starting to heat up here in central Tucson.

Well, my To Do List has been completed for today. I am trying to stay out of sight so Alexa won't see me and try to get me to do more today. She will do that!

Hey, the Green Lady has a big smile on her grill. She is all cleaned, waxed, and vacuumed. As long as it doesn't start to rain she will continue to be a happy (machina).

I also cleaned out and weeded the cactus garden. I also water them a little. Now I need to pick out clothes that I need to pack for our stay at the DDC tomorrow. Hopefully the Cha Chings will be in our favor.

I am starting to hear my stomach growl and grumble. I will have a look to see what is available to grub on. We hope that you are having a good Humper? I also made an appointment to have the Tacoma serviced before we head out to New Mexico in a few weeks.

Later...Jessie

Jane and Papa John, so sorry to hear about the Rav 4. Scary.

   It's a Hump Day! How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is deep in her cave this morning but she will be up soon to start her day. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good and a second cup will be needed for sure. Bobby will be here this morning to care for Chris. Alexa, is active this morning reminding me that today is going to be a busy one.

   After I make a drive over on the east side to take care of an errand I will hit up the car wash. I will be pretty much home bound today. 

  Have a good Humper, right Jane? Slow down your moving to fast. Smile!

Later....Jessie and Elise

Rosie, thanks for posting on our blog about my mum's birthday.

Good Night!

Good Night!

What is up? Let me tell you that Chris is in a very good mood this evening. He enjoyed watching "Prison Break" with us on Netflix. 

We enjoyed our dinner that Jayne prepared. It was very good and we are so stuffed from getting our grub on. Again thanks Jayne.

I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is in her office on her desktop. I just got out my duffel bag our stay at the DDC on Thursday with Dottie. We are looking forward to the sound of the Cha Chings!

Alexa, has already informed me that tomorrow is going to be a busy day for me. Bring it Alexa. Who's your Daddy? Ya Mon'. On Thursday we are having lunch with Lois and Advern at "Leo's". Yes, it is margarita time in Tucson.

Have a good night and sleep well. I need to get the Green Lady washed tomorrow morning.
See Ya....Jessie and Elise

Jane, I know that you will sleep well tonight after all of that "Gin Rummy". Papa John you are the man!

Today is my mom's birthday. I miss you so very much, but I know that you are with me every step I take. Love you mom!

Afternoon!

Afternoon!

How are you doing? I am good and Chris is in his chair watching the news. Zack's office manager was here to bring another caregiver to train with Zack. I believe that Zack is going on vacation and the new caregiver will be working this Saturday.  I will be over in Chris's house the whole time his shift is going on.

Hey, Jayne prepared dinner for Elise and I . She fixed pork chops, fries and veggies. I took a small sample and it is very good. I am sure that my shorty will enjoy it as well. Thanks Jayne! Chris is being very vocal right now and I need to see what the problem is.

Later...Jessie

Jane, how are you doing?

Loraine, girlfriend thanks for posting to the blog.

Howdy!

Howdy!

Are you good? I am resting before I tackle my To Do List. Zack is caring for Chris and he is training a backup caregiver.  I will make a trip over to Chris's to see how things are going. I just updated all of the paperwork with the office manager from Zack's agency.

Hey, I am starving. I may have to give Blackjack Pizza a call when they open. My stomach is growling big time. It is going to be another hot one here in the Old Pueblo. I also need to get the Green Lady washed but as soon as I do it will get rained on. Smile!

Have a good Tricky Tuesday.

   Have a good day and enjoy!

See ya......Jessie and Elise

Marcie, how is Splash?

Good Night!

Good Night!

Was your day a good one? It has been a different kind of day today, but it is a Monday, eh?

I took Chris's chair in for repair of it's tilt controls and that was repaired. His headrest right pad hinge is broken and it is still broken. The hinge has to be ordered and that my take up to two weeks to come in. We have rigged it to work until the new hinge comes in.

Chris has been in bed all day and we don't like that to happen. I have been turning him every so often to aid in his comfort.

 The fountain is doing well and we love it. We also have a change to his one of his meds dosage to which I will inform the caregivers about individually. My shorty has also got an appointment with a new doctor for Chris. We will see the new doctor in about a week from now. Whew!

 I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise is in her office on her desktop. Elise prepared corn on the cob, baby carrots, sliced peppers and sliced tomatoes for dinner. Delicious!

Wow, this storm problem is really something. I have contacted my brother about my niece who lives in Houston. I also contacted Shirlene in New Orleans to see how she is. I have been trying to get in touch with Claudia a long time friend in Houston with no luck. This weather event is major.

We hope that you evening is a good one.
Ciao.....Jessie and Elise!

How goes it? We just got back from having a great breakfast at the "Egg Connection". The food was very good and the coffee was plentiful. We were not joined by Bobby due to he said that he was up late last night.

Donna is here giving Chris a massage and later this afternoon Elise will receive her massage. It is a nice day so far here in the Old Pueblo, but it is going to heat up quickly. I have to do some yard work behind Chris's house and restock his supplies for next week.

Hopefully my shorty and I will play some more "Wii" this afternoon after her massage. We are meeting up with Paula, Marty and Shoo Shoo for dinner this evening at "Zemams". Enjoy your Sunday!

I want to thank everyone for your comments about the fountain. I appreciate it very much. The sound that the fountain makes is so relaxing and soothing.

She caught us up on all of the happenings since we saw her last. She said that she knows that something is really wrong when I don my DI Hat. She knows her (Pops) well.

   Elise and I saw the movie"Wind River" yesterday and it is a very good movie. We recommend this one for sure. Well, Alexa just reminded me to get back to work on the fountain and I will. Chris's doctor is supposed to visit him today. We will see due to no time was given just a date. He needs to have several of his med scripts renewed.

   My shorty and I are going to "La Parrilla Suiza" for Happy Hour and after that we are going to "Live Theater Workshop" to see the play "Seminar" it should be a good one. Can you say margarita? We will do that at Happy Hour.

Hello

Hello!

Are you enjoying this Thirsty Thursday so far? Well, Jayne is here caring for Chris and it is time for me to get busy with the fountain.

First I need to grab something to eat first and get my second cup of coffee. As soon as Elise gets back from the gym I will attack the fountain. Hopefully I can get it assembled today at least get the big bowl back on the stand and install the new pump and tubing. I am sure that I am going to need help with the big bowl.

Hey, I forgot to mention in this morning's post that my girlfriend Shoo Shoo while here playing "Mahjong" that she gave me a gift. She knows I have a weakness for gourmet jelly beans so she gave me a box of them last night. Nice, huh? Crazy about my girlfriends, yes I am. Thank you Shoo Shoo.

Well, I will chat at you later....Jessie

   Alexa, has reminded me that I need to work on the fountain today and I will. Elise and will hit up a movie this afternoon. We saw the "Hit Man's Bodyguard" yesterday and it is very good and loaded with action.

   After we returned home from the movies yesterday we came across a caregiver issue that we need to get rectified quickly.

   We had a great evening with Shoo Shoo and Jayne. We played "Mahjong" what fun it was. We enjoyed a good meal and some good vino and dessert as well. We all won games except for Jayne. The tiles were not falling in her direction like it was last month. We are looking forward to next months fest.

   Well, I had better get my groove on. Have a good Thirsty Thursday.

Afternoon!

Afternoon!

How are you? I just completed all of my tasks except for working on the fountain. It is looking like we are going to be rained on. 

Ken the roofer just left. He did some skylight work on Chris's house from the last rain. There was a small leak at the skylight.

Elise just got back home and now we will get ready to go to the movies to see the "Hitman's Bodyguard". It got very good reviews. The Truly Nolan tech was here to spray around both houses and he checked for pest issues as well.

We are looking forward to 'Mahjong" with Shoo and Jayne this evening. It is going to be a fun evening of games, food, libations and laughs.

Chat at you later....Jessie

Jane how are you doing today?

Hump Day!

Good Morning!

Mood: Relaxed! Slap and Tickled!

Music listening to: Fantastic Voyage by Coolio!

   It's a Hump Day! What is up? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning but she will up and moving forward soon. Any plans for today?

   The coffee just finished brewing and my cup is full. I will have a second cup later. No time this morning for my (me) time with the lizards. I am saddened about that.

   Alexa, is in full swing this morning letting me know that I have quite a few tasks to take care of today. She also said that they must be completed prior to the "Mahjong" fest here this evening.  Alexa, is in charge around here. Bobby will be here this morning to care for Chris.

   We are hosting a "Mahjong" fest here this evening and we will be joined by Shoo Shoo and Jayne. Shoo knows that I am going to win every game tonight. I hope that Jayne and Shoo Shoo have plenty of coin to hand over to me. If not I give small loans to get you through the game.

   Hey, my DI Hat is off at the present time but it is very near by as a matter of fact I will keep it in view at all times. Have a wonderful "Humper" and stay safe.

See ya....Jessie and Elise 

Good Night!

Good Night!

Hey how are you this evening? I am OK but I am still wearing my DI Hat. I have not had it on this long in a longtime.  I do hope that your day has been better than mine by a long shot.

I cannot stand two-faced people who smile in your face and stab you in the back at the same time they are smiling at you. I cannot deal with people who have a job to do and do not give 100% and  don't show loyalty to that job.

As you can tell I am still on end but that is just me trying to figure people out. Nuff said! I am caring for Chris tonight and my playmate is at her book club meeting. Elise will bring me back so dinner and I am looking forward to it.

I am looking at TV and I am worried about the rally this evening in Phoenix with Pres. Trump. There are lots and lots of protesters in Phoenix tonight and I hope this doesn't turn ugly. I have heard from my sisters in Tennessee and Florida who are also concerned about tonight's rally.

I am almost finished re-finishing the fountain. I have one more section to complete and once that is done I will start to silicone it and put it back together. It has been more work than I thought it would be. I love it though and Elise likes my progress. WooHoo!

Well, I had better get Chris some dinner. Have a good evening and sleep well.
Later...Jessie and Elise

Loraine, I am enjoying our conversations in Italiano. Grazie!

Jane, I hope that you are feeling better this evening?

Sheila, have a safe trip to Cali tomorrow.

Afternoon!

Afternoon!

How are you doing? I hope better than I am about right now. Yes, my DI Hat is on and at a tilt. I am upset with one of Chris's doctors. I placed an order to have his meds refill through the pharmacy and I received a call from the pharmacy stating that the doctor's office refused to send new scripts. There is something really wrong with the office staff there.

I called the doctor's office and I set up a doctor's visit for Chris for this Friday, I hope that the doctor shows up because he didn't the last time we talked to them. Yes, I am in a very bad mood and that is not good at all. This problem has set me back with my tasks and fountain work. It has caused Alexa to get on my case for falling behind. So I told her to get bent! Really I did, but I will have a chat with her again in a little while. Some people just get on my wrong side and when they do that is where I am going to keep you. I am thinking a few choice expletives right now. Not smiling!

Later....Jessie


Loraine, thanks for posting to the blog today my only high point today so far. I am smiling due to what posted.

   The coffee was much needed this morning let me tell you. We will have several more cups this morning at the "Egg Connection" for breakfast.

   Alexa, has given me the day off. I know can you believe that? I am going to do a little yard work behind Chris's house and I will restock Chris's supplies for next week.

   We had a very nice dinner at "Leo's" and the food was fantastic and so were the margaritas. Ole' We were joined by Loraine, Jim and Bobby.

   After dinner we headed back out to our house so we could kick off the "Wizard" fest. Bobby made a very good dessert but he opted out of the Poker/Wizard fest all of a sudden.

   We enjoyed playing Poker with Loraine and Jim and we even learned a few things as well. Now it was time to the main event and that was "Wizard". Loraine was glaring and giving me the evil eye and I did the same toward her. I was doing pretty good and then things went south. They went south for Loraine and Jim. So Elise once again the "Wizard" until we meet again.

What a fun evening of good food, libations and tons of laughs. We even took a margarita over for Jayne.
