mae all ..how are we doing? just thought I would nip in and start the fred .things are still hard to believe..I think we both knew it was on the cards but it was just the suddenness .especially after Julie finding a place making his room nice then endex .We have to wait till next week to register the death ,then the funeral arrangements the will ,sort his house out declutter and sort it out ready to sell.I lost my old Samsung fit ..Julie has just bought me a fitbit charge 6 ...so I am back doing my steps .Also in the process of putting all the old photos from her dads house on to keystick .
Freezing over here still covered in snow ...hope everyone is good

So it’s FEBRUARY now???? OK, haha!

Hello to everyone & thanks for starting the new thread Mick.
Regardless of Dad’s quit exit I think it was the best thing for him, no lingering & unnecessary suffering. Everything will fall into place, I know there’s lots to do after a family death. Wishing you & Julie strength & peace.

We actually had a little melting going on here today, the temp finally went above freezing. There’s still plenty of snow left.
Never left the house, didn’t have any need. Looking forward to lunch with friends Tuesday, also have a dental cleaning that day, exciting. Lol
my heart goes out to the residents & fire fighters in LA, such an extraordinary situation going on there. Latest loss of life # is 16 7 there’s many still missing, sad.

I hope everyone is doing OK, staying warm & about to have a good night!

hiya all .how are we doing? hope all is good.Cold over here.We started down at Julies dads house today ,just scratching the surface at the mo,but took a lot of stuff to the tip..Medical officer phoned about Julies dad..he is the guy that examines the medical records etc.He died of dementia compounded by diabetes and frailty.Julie went to the funeral directors just to let them know and make an appointment to choose everything and sort the funeral out .
Things are still pretty raw but life goes on .didnt sleep great last night .went to bed early but only slept for just over 5 hours .Julie is holding up well.Snow has melted mostly here now .We are looking at going away about the 18th Feb to Los Gigantes in Tenerife for a week in the sun ...chill out and then come back to get her dads house sorted out .

hiya Lav how are you doing? hope all is good ...me and you both at the dentist tomorrow ..best of luck ..Enjoy your meal tomorrow..I agree with you the fires in LA are brutal.The fire bobbies have done a superb job bearing in mind the weather.Thanks for your support ...its needed at times.

Hello to all!

Major melting going on here too Ted with a high of 42 degrees, nice. Now we will drop down to below freezing temps again for the next week +. I’m starting to daydream about flower gardens already. Sleep will return after tonight’s full wolf moon (I hope). Tried to get a pic with my phone -

That's great that you & Julie are getting away next month. You'll certainly need a break by then. I found it hard to disperse my parent’s belongings but it had to be done. I’m keeping an eye on the LA fires, it’s all bad news sadly.

Wishing everyone a nice night.

MAE ALL....our warmish weather continues this week but will be dropping to minus double digits for the weekend.

Mick...thanks for kicking off the new thread, it's good to see you posting here. Your trip to Los Gigantes will be here before you know it. I hope you'll both be able to get some much needed rest and rejuvenate in order to deal with things when you get back. Work has settled down, just waiting for the new childcare director to finalize the details for summer camp and upcoming Kinder registration that's supposed to open beginning of March. I have a meeting with the boss on Thursday and will tell him that it's her responsibility to manage time deadlines, that I'm not going to worry about it.

Lav...nice pic. It's way too early to dream about flower gardens but you have reminded me to get the community garden registration online. Geeze, time just marches on! Enjoy your lunch out tomorrow.

Waves to the rest of the gang. Have a good night all....PPQP

hiya ppqp..how are you doing ?glad work has settled down for you .I the new director known to you or come from somewhere else?how are you feeling in yourself?

hiya Lav.how are you doing?all good ? hope so.wolf full moon eh? that brings the cold doesn't it?yes Im looking at just getting away for a wee break in the sun.Its a night mare dispersing the stuff at her dads house ..Her mum had a habit of keeping just crap...but in amongst that crap there will be something worthwhile or important so everything has to be gone through .One thing this has done is accelerate us moving house ..it wont be soon but I would guess within the next 18 months im already looking .....hope you were as successful as me at the dentist..
