So Dad was okay at his physical... they think his complaints of his whole right side shutting down and he is going be disabled may be a nerve or disc problem. They are suggesting therapy to try and work out the kinks. He doesn't want to do that. I suggested he try 2 sessions.

I asked if he should loose weight and they said would be good. The doc also thought that he doesn't drink enough water and that maybe the cramping could be because he is not drinking enough water and drinks too much coffee and tea. Not sure about that, but based on the fact that Dad just has varicose veins there isn't much wrong.... accept I think he wanted attention....


I will need to wait and see what the blood work shows to know more.

omorrow the new refrigerator is being delivered. I am leaving Dad to deal with that. I am looking forward to it as it will let us see how much room we have and decide what piece of furniture we want for the empty space. I want a lovely storage piece...Dad wants a tiny table. Frankly if thats what he wants he can buy it himself... and we probably won't see it. I want the zinc top cart I saw in a catalog. It would give us a place to store a coffee maker, toaster, a planter that I made my Mother for the kitchen and a few other things. We shall see what happens.

While Dad deals with the delivery and finishes painting the kitchen (we are doing that to save $$) I am heading to Rockport Massachusetts. They are saying it will be a nice day, but also saying there may be showers. I thought a destination would be better instead of the beach because if I take the 2 hours of train travel and it pouring when I get to a beach I will not be happy. This way I can get to the salt air and see art things and hopefully get some inspiration to get back to my art life...

One goal is to go up and get info from a tiny art museum about watercolor demos that happen on Thursday nights. I want to go see some of these. They start at 6:30and end at 8 PM ...and there is an 8:45 train back to Boston... a long haul, but it is something I want to try and see.
