July 26

July 25th was a quiet day. After lunch the rain and thunderstorms rolled through, Jean came out to the kitchen with me and read some Oprah magazines. She asked me to make her some hot chocolate, the only thing we had to make it with was the Abuelita mexican chocolate bars. I made her Mexican hot chocolate and she loved it. While she sat reading I began to prepare dinner. I decided to make the lobster tails and crab cakes that Bill received for his birthday. I read all the instructions thoroughly and decided to boil the lobster tails instead of broil.
Dinner turned out well, but I had more luck with the Omaha steaks than I did with the lobster. I boiled the tails for 5 minutes, when the instructions said 9, but those little suckers are hard to get out of their shells when they are piping hot. The meat was firm but not rubbery, and the crab cakes also turned out well. Made biscuits and corn as sides. Dessert was strawberry shortcake with the left over biscuits and chocolate cake for Jean.
After dinner, both Bill and Jean returned to their room, tired of CNN's 24hour reporting on the plight of Lindsay Lohan, they asked me to put a DVD in. I tried to get them to watch a Street Car named Desire, that we received from Netflix, but Bill was having none of that. We settled for a Jimmy Stewart film called something St. Louis. Movie was over at 10pm and then lights out. By 1am both Bill and Jean were awake, Jean talking in her sleep, Bill to potty.
Bill up at 7:30, TV on, he got his own OJ and turned the outside lights off.
Breakfast at 9:30- French Toast and poached eggs. Pills, water, juice for Jean, newspaper.

**Notes**
1. I will call the pharmacy and ask them to make a delivery by Monday, so that I can fill 2 more boxes of pills. We have enough to get us through August 9th, but to be safe I would like to take an extra weeks worth of boxes. Will also order another case of Depends.
2. If anyone has any suggestions of movies that BiLL and Jean would like to watch please, list them here.
3. Lynn has 3 shirts that I dropped off last week to have the sleeves chopped off, if anyone is out this weekend, can you please pick them up otherwise I will try to remember by Tuesday.
4. I still don't know if I can make it to the pack party or work for Wedad on Monday, I will know for sure tomorrow and will post here to let Wedad know. I also just talked to Melissa and she may be willing to do it if I can't. I will call both when I know for sure.
