Walked 1/2 mile with Lew yesterday. Killed my back but trying to push through with more activity. Doesn't help having to tug on a 40 pound butterball who wants to sniff every blade of grass.

Bill is gone for a week to visit a son in South Bend. This means I have to take care of everything which is fine and forces me to move more. I texted his son about an increase in memory and processing problems as well as asking him to talk Advanced Directives (speaking of memory problems, did I.post this last part already?) Bill's doctor sent me his blood work. His A1c is TWICE what it should be and has steadily risen over the past two years. She told me to tell him to keep checking hid blood levels as if he told her he was doing it regularly. He has NEVER done it. I told her that I am the last person he would listen to but that I will convey the information. I think he is terrified and responding with his typical anger and defiance.

Getting my hair colored today. Hate time in the salon but love the outcome.

Oh....info, not grat. Have to have my heat pump replaced. First estimate for an entry level system installed? $12,500! Going to keep looking for something under $10,000. So far the money for my kitchen remodel has gone to dog dental surgery $1000.sleep study copay, a recliner that doesn't hurt my back, supplementing my minimal income until Aspect (ANTHEM!!) is up and running and a heat pump! There is a grat. I have the .only even of not spending it on what I wanted to spend it on.
