ravena_kadeGood news is that when I went the pharmacy one Sunday the meds that were ore than a mortgage payment now just cost $146. Thank Sekmet. It had me filled with Anxiety.
We spend the rest of January 1 over the cousins. I made healthy chili that everyone liked so that was a win. They watched football while I did other things on my iPad. I really should bring a sketch book.
Today I was supposed to do a lot, but didnt get to it. The plan was to walk Dad down to the breakfast place and see if his old cronies were there. They were and we had a nice breakfast. He had oatmeal and I had eggs and ham. Ill walk him down next Sunday and if his buddies are there Ill ask if one could drop him home.
We came home and got a phone call that an Uncle passed away. It was the husband of the Aunt who passed Suddenly last January 18. He was giving up his apartment and as they were going through things he fell and broke his leg. He has been in a rehab since November and they gave him COVID. He just gave up. So Sad.
I was then tasked with trying to get ahold of my sister and Texas Uncle. That took 3 hours out of the day. My Texas Aunt hung up on me 3 times...Just like she did last January when I had to tell them that my Aunt Teresa passed. Sigh.
Tomorrow I go back into the office. I am envois. Not because of work, but because since November there have been serial attacks against women at the train stations very early in the morning. One woman in her 60s was thrown in a car, duct taped and raped for 24 hours straight and then dumped in a trash bag in a parking lot. Someone found her..they saw that the bag was moving and she was crying. 2 other attempts the women fought their attackers off. The latest was jumped from behind, punched several times and her shirt ripped off..someone came by the trains station and stopped the attack. Then the other day a woman was shot on a bus. They think that may have been an accident with the gun going off by mistake. Oi boy. I leave here on foot at 4:50 tomorrow morning. Sigh.
Tonight is the Animal shelter. I hope the dogs are good. I think I am the only dog walking in tonight.

He just gave up.
I also wonder if he's of the generation that where the men have no idea how to take care of themselves because their wives have done it all their lives. He might have been missing his wife this past year.
Yikes about all the early morning attacks. That is very scary.
