My day had been great! Now it’s time to say goodnight and goodbye for the night. The door is locked, and the sign has been turned to closed for the night. Putting down my phone and iPad for the night is happening now. I am going to read for a bit until I get sleepy. The book is a good read, peeps!With the weekend about over, my caregiver Debbie came this morning before she went to church for Bible study and came back to get inro bed for the night. I sat in my lift chair for a while today to read. I am reading Caroline Graham’s book The Killings at Badger’s Drift. The book is more descriptive than the TV shows! I love to read and have been a reader of books like my mom ever since I was a little girl being read to when Grandpa Clarence read to me at the age of 1 year old. As I grew up reading, Grandpa Clarence and I would read textbooks! Yes, textbooks. It was fun. I sounded out the word hypothesis as hypo thesis not hypot thesis at first until Grandpa told me how to say the hypothesis properly. Yes, Grandpa was a teacher, too. Grandpa helped me with my fractions in grade school after he retired from teaching as well as helped me with other classes that was not algebra because he never learned it as a boy because it was not around until his later years as a man. I tried teaching him, but it did not go very well, lol. To be very honest, I did not learn it well until I was in college at University of Rock County in Janesville, Wisconsin. Tim Hourigan was the professor of my pre-algebra class at that time. I was in my 20’s at that time. I did take algebra in my senior year in high school, but I struggled! I took pre-algebra in my junior year of high school. Ed Schrab was my teacher and RIP Mr. Schrab. He died of cancer the summer of 1988. I did not learn algebra later in my life either and have a fond for equations since then, too. I have a fondness for numbers ever since I was a little girl and yes, that is strange, but that is why I got my bachelors and master's in accounting through University of Phoenix in 2008 and 2010. I worked hard and got B+ average in college and I took one class at a time then, though. It was worth that B+ average—studying at 2 am in the morning when it was quiet and peaceful for something to do daily. I was in class every day! I worked hard in class. Business Law I and II were the toughest classes out there but I still passed!
Reminiscing about school makes me miss college days badly. I attended school online and had my first graduation in college in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My friend Jennie Sommers and her parents were there. My little sister graduated from high school in 2008 a month early so dad and Sandy did not make it to my college graduation and that disappointed me enough, but I had my bestie there and that was important enough!
Yes, I need to go back to school to refresh my memory with math, English, and reading skills. I miss school a lot and Blackhawk Tech is a great place to be as far as school and learning goes.
Well, as far as my day has come and gone, I have to admit that it has been a good day. I sat in my lift chair for a couple of hours until Debbie came back to get me to the bathroom again and in bed for the night. I have soft bowels these days—not diarrhea, but close to runny. I learned on Friday that a patient’s grandson has Covid, and she has been asked to get tested at the ER. I was not happy to hear this because I have been sitting next to her in the lobby waiting for a dialysis technician to call me back to weigh me in and out before and after treatment. I am saying this and coughing because I have been swallowing wrong the food, I just eaten for a snack a few minutes ago. Not happy about that at the moment. I’ve had covid once now and don’t recommend it to anyone—even my enemy.
With that said, I have to admit I that have had been coughing for a different reason thank goodness for that. My nose has been itchy and seems irritated by my hair and cat fur these days. My weekend almost over, I can say, yay, back to the drawing board and back to work so to speak — woohoo…a new week of ‘work’ coming up. I enjoy my doctor visits at the clinic on Monday afternoons every week. Dr. Anjum hS been my favorite nephrologist since 2016 when we met for the first time after leaving UW Hospital and Clinics because of kidney disease of my transplanted kidney after 31 years!
Good night and God bless!
