ravena_kadeI spent today sad for my Dad..He doesn't know yet. I feel like someone has died. Not great because I have stuff I need to do.
The boss didn't call today either. I think that her sister in law is in the process of passing or a decision needs to be made to let her go. I know how terrible that is from last year with my Cousin, Aunt, and long time friend.
I did not hear back from the medical team today about a letter. I will follow up with the team tomorrow. At end of day I will follow up with boss lady to say I am still trying to get the letter.
DQ has offered to help me in a way that will allow me to take over 2 bills from Dad in the future. She says she wants to because of everything I did for Evie while she was in the hospital. I I just can't think... The situation is overwhelming me.
Dad is getting really bored and frustrated at home. He does not like being alone all day. He is trying to do things around the house that are pushing it. On Sunday I bought a new deck table and chair set as the old one was falling apart. I would not have bought it if the boss lady called earlier. Dad put together 2 of the flat pack chairs that weigh a lot. I can't fight with him anymore because he got the Lvad to live. Not sit in a chair and rock. He did a good job. Tomorrow he has 2 more (and it proves he can still cut thread and fix sewing machines). He also tried to take apart the old table on the deck so I can just throw it off the deck. He needs his wrench set and that is at work.
Tomorrow I work from home as the visiting nurse is coming for a blood draw. Then I have to figure out food shopping. I think I want to try one of the Chinese markets close to home. I do like Hmart, but that would take a bus rides and I dont need my weekly carless grocery run to be 3 hours.

I don't wanna sound cold hearted, but boss lady's delay would be more acceptable if it was her sister that was passing and not an in law.
You guys should not have to put your lives on hold for her. :o :o :o
HUGS, Jon

I wouldn't be so mad if she didn't try to tell me that the business was her legacy to the new boss. My Dad is part of that legacy, not trash to be tossed away.

Date: 2026-04-24 05:05 pm (UTC)Your Dad is a bit like my boss. I've told my coworkers that I fully expect to find him dead in a classroom at the foot of a ladder and have made my peace with it. Your Dad is the energizer bunny.

I just caught him trying to throw the old metal deck table off the deck. He's not supposed to lift anything over 10 pounds.
