ravena_kadeDad got the okay to drive. Started the car and the rear breaks were grinding...so let's add a break job to the list of bills.
Dad starts work Monday. He is pretty mad about being dropped to 20 hours especially since he was told that he didn't have to worry about being out.
He talked with the boss that is leaving and it turns out that she will stay on for 2 days a week, mostly for bookkeeping. She told Dad that they were getting an order for P-coats and that his expertise was needed since no one knows how to press them. They also asked him if he could pick up some patterns as the woman that makes their patterns lives around the block from us.
The visiting nurse likes him enough that she will continue to do blood draws for him, but switch to Friday afternoons when he is home from work. That is nice. They are not supposed to do that. I think it works out for her as well as she lives a few streets over from us so her last call is close to home.
Dad was outside mowing the lawn. He hasn't done that since 2022. He really shouldn't do it, but if he's strong enough Im not going to stop him.
Tomorrow Dad wants me to go into work with him so he can see if any changes have been made. He was told his key would still work. His old boss will be there.
He was told that they are having a pizza party for him on Wednesday. Not Monday since Ted boss isn't in on Monday. Dad isn't supposed to have pizza. Sigh. Typical.. Pizza doesn't pay the bills.
While I am not pleased with what is happening at his job I am happy that he will be getting out of the house. Being alone isn't great for him.

That is really nice of the nurse to keep up with your dad. :)
