On Our Own Once Again!

This morning we got a call from Woody's home health nurse.  She was on her way to complete the last paperwork towards Woody's freedom from home health care!  While she was here she said that PT had asked if Woody needed another visit or if he was finished.  Woody said finished and she clicked that information into her device and that ended this almost two-month time with nurses and PT folk coming to the house.  No more comings and goings of health personnel to our home...just family and friends once again knocking on our door!

This cute bunny hopped into our house today with the help of the mailman.  It's a "Happy Spring" present from my sister!  I think it will hop out to the front porch when it warms up a bit. Thanks, Cheryl!

I had school as usual for a Wednesday morning. Elijah had his long time.  We planned some science experiments that we will do...had to plan as we need to buy a few things.  Isaac continued his interest in building with K'nex.  This afternoon he used one of the battery powered motors for the first time and made a bat with moving wings.  We only got stuck once where neither he nor I could figure out what was supposed to be done.  He took the few pieces and the bat and the instructions next door to consult the main K'nexpert = Graham.  It was all together except for one step and Graham got the problem worked out quickly and Isaac rushed back to show me what was wrong...one connector piece had been put on backwards...then all was well and the last step we complete.  After he showed me, he showed Goosey (Woody) and then he headed home happily with his latest build.

Earlier I got up enough energy to actually empty the base cabinets on the other side of the dishwasher...the shortest expanse of base cabinets.  It mainly contained serving pieces and other things that are only used when we are entertaining (not doing a lot of that lately) so figured that I could do without those items for a while!  Everything is out of that part of the base cabinets except for the Food processor accessories, which we use often, and kitchen veggie choppers, and our electric George Forman-type grill.  The food processor and choppers will most likely be used and the grill "might" be used so left it.  I have two boxes filled, labeled and lined up in the upstairs hallway along with some items that were already in boxes, which I stacked up.  Maybe if I do a little each day for a while I will get the job done before they are ready to remove the cabinets.

Woody's major achievement of the day is getting dismissed from home health.  He also made the trek out to the mail box.  It is still quite cold.  It got down into the teens again last night.  I think that it is supposed to "just" get down to the low 20's tonight!  Then start climbing back up to more normal temperatures for this time of the year.  BUT I guess more rain and storms are heading our way as the weekend approaches.  It has been nice to go without rain for several days in a row...even with cold temperatures...it was wonderful to have the sun shine in our windows.
