One More Day, Cats Take Over and a Very Good Announcement

Another day with my guy feeling pretty rough. I didn’t go into work. I could have woken Leo from his middle of the night slumber to drive me, but honestly, I didn’t want to leave Ernie so I rescheduled a meeting and worked from here. I’m fine to drive, it’s just getting to and from the car that is questionable.

Last night we were both so exhausted that we ordered from Peking Garden again. I shouldn’t have spent the money but egg drop soup sounded good to him so I said what the hell. I got two and he had one for breakfast. I gotta tell you, carrying a hot bowl of soup with a walker is a feat of bravery. Tonight a friend is bringing dinner and I am so grateful. I’ve been trying to wait on Ernie as much as possible. Silver lining to him not feeling good is me being more active and pushing myself more but I gotta admit, it wears me out.

He’s lost more weight and I think the number on the scale shocked him. I gave him yet another lecture about eating more…snacking throughout the day. I put in an Instacart order full of high calorie snacks. Odds are I’ll gain weight and he won’t. Heh.

He’s a bit perkier this afternoon. Tomorrow Owen will take him in to the doctor. I’m not sure if I’ll try to go too. Sometimes the logistics just get stupidly complicated. He’s promised to use a wheelchair if he’s feeling as wobbly and lightheaded. He’s seeing his primary care who generally seems to be very thorough so hopefully we’ll figure out what’s going on. Then more appointments on Thursday and Friday.

I love my cats more than ever but the other day Sack threw up on me in the middle of the night and then one of them turned the tv on about an hour later. I’m putting my money on Olney. I was not amused.

Now, in other, and much more exciting news, we have a house concert scheduled! Our beloved Rod Picott is doing a Retirement Tour! Friday, June 20, 2025. And if you think we’re crazy given how uncertain our life is (newsflash: all lives are uncertain, some just less obviously so), don’t worry, we have back up plans so it will happen no matter what. I can’t wait. I love him so!

Onward. Onward, as always.

Love,
Cynthia
