Happy 4th of July Weekend! Hope you are enjoying and appreciating our freedoms in this great country!
We were supposed to go to a friend’s house for dinner and fireworks but because it’s been so dry in NC they couldn’t do the fireworks so it got cancelled.
This week a friend from church who’s a CNA and has lots of experience with nursing homes and elderly people, started working for (us) taking care of my in-laws, it was a rough start because grandpa has severe dementia so we eased her into it by being there each morning and one day I ended up taking grandma to the hospital too, so it wasn’t 2 days off, but next week and on, it should be 3 days a week that she comes and she’s GREAT!
We also took Swiffer to the vet this week for an upper respiratory infection- it’s a chronic thing so he gets it a few times a year.
Anja did her first sparring class in Taekwondo recently too, there were 2 higher belt boys in there too but they were gentle with her.
