Buona Sera!

Buona Sera!



The day is over. How was yours? For a Monday it was a bit busier than I thought it would be, but we got through it.

Chris received his massage from Rosemarie, and he was a happy dude. I was over in Chris's house at the time to see him flirt with Rosemarie. While I was there, I gave him his noon meds.

Jackie brought Chris over after her shift and all of a sudden, he was not feeling well at all.  We kept a close eye on him, and something was irritating him. He seemed to be in pain, so I gave him 30ml of Tylenol. His intake of fluids was good, but his output was not. I am keeping a close eye on this.

I am caring for Chris tonight and my shorty is in the main house working on a rock and listening to the news.

I prepared Grilled Cheese Sandwich's for dinner. My playmate had baby carrots, and avocado with hers. I had a slice of ham with main. We watched "Jane the Virgin" on Netflix with Chris. It is a very good series.

I gave Chris a good shave this evening. He no longer has his beard anymore. He is resting and downing his supplemental drip while he is watching TV.

Well, I had better check on Chris. Get a good night's sleep so you can be ready for Taco Tuesday.

Buona Notte...Jessie and Elise

Buongiorno!  Buon Lunedi!  How are you doing? We started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good In the House Blend and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. It is a warmer morning here in Tucson and that is good.

Jackie will be here this morning to care for Chris and Rosemarie will be here to give Chris a massage. He is looking forward to it already.

Alexa is awake and she said that I don't have any tasks to complete today. I asked her to play some "Ted Talks" for me today. 

I finished reading the banned book titled "Stamped" and it was very good, and I learned quite a few things from it. I still don't get why it was banned by some school districts.

My playmate and I will be working on new rocks today if time allows. We really do need to get more rocks for painting soon.

Yesterday was Chefs Day and it was delicious and one of my favorite meals. Here are a few pictures of the meal. Sloppy Joe's and Fries. We got it all down with "Gentleman Jack" cocktails.
