Dad is still doing well. I'm looking to send him back to work the second week in May. The only tricky thing is getting the blood thiner dose down. Food with vitamin K make your blood thicker. I find it discouraging as now not only can I not cook things with sodium, I no longer can cook greens and beans. He just eats what I put in front of him. The good thing is that they have lifted fluid restrictions so he can eat soup...even if it is flat soup. Once my sister goes I am meal prepping his food and freezing stuff for him. I need to eat what I want/need. Between cooking for him and my sister's partner I need therapy.

Sister leaves now on the 15th. There will be a couple days that Dad is alone, but he can handle it. Once he can drive we won't need a nurse coming to test his blood and we can find our new normal. I hope to be able to go away weekends come August. I want people to be comfortable with him. Right now people are nervous that his alarms will go off... kind of like a bomb. So far all has been good.

I am planning take a gouche class in May. I also need to get out in the yard. I hope we dont have as wet a spring as last year.

The boss is being a bit of a dick. She has higher expectations of the staff, but doesn't show up to train or enforce. The staff are resenting it. They figure that's why people left before. She said to me what she was here to kick ass and get me to learn. I told her to show up and teach...and I hoped she had steel toed boots because that tactic doesn't work with me. I will defend myself. Like I need this with my home situation right now.

The board thinks the boss is awesome because she makes great investment choices. They reward her with $20,000 and $30,000 bonuses.

Good move to defend yourself at that job with that crazy woman and at home!

I love Gouche, that sounds fun. Please keep us posted.
I often use the white Gouche with my watercolors, it's so forgiving! :)

The matte quality of gouche intrigues me.

Yes, a tube of the white is always with my watercolors! Hope to hear about your class.

I certainly hope you get some time for yourself. You've earned it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I told her to show up and teach...

Yeah, if ALL her employees have the same problem, she's the common denominator. She needs to do her job, not just give orders and assume people will figure things out without her leading/training them.
