Thursday 27th Ruth

Pretty good week, came in on Tuesday and got the update from Wedad about what happened over the weekend. I guess Jean was pretty sick and it is going around. Wedad said Bill has been asking for cough syrup and cough drops continually. Bill told me that his ribs were sore from his falls, when I asked him what happened he told me he ran into a wall, which is the exact opposite of what Wedad had told me. I asked him if he actually fell back in his chair and he said "yeah I think that's what happened instead, but I also ran into a wall too."

Dinner went well and the house was quite until bed time, at which point Bill could not get comfortable and need assistance to the restroom every 30 minutes or so. After 12am he slept through the night and was up bright and early. Made breakfast and then got Jean in the shower, Cookie showed up at 11:30am and took Jean to the tailor and Arcadia Farms for lunch. I got Bill in the shower and we left the house around 1:45pm, we had lunch at the Quilted Bear, since it is easy for Bill to get in and out of, not because the food is great or because it is my favorite place, as Jean suggested. Bill and I had a nice lunch and then came home. Cookie and Jean were waiting for us.

Cookie has made a suggestion about a new chair for Bill. One of those chairs that rises with a remote. She claims that Medicare covers them and all we would need to do is get prescription from Farooqui. She left all the information for me to make the appropriate phone calls, but I am going to wait on those calls.

Cookie made a lunch date with Cis, herself and Bill and Jean next Tuesday. I will be in early to help get them ready to go and will take them to the lunch.

A couple of months ago, I was out getting my nails done. A few blocks from my neighborhood a new shopping center opened up and I was walking around the plaza looking at the new shops and getting my nails done. I had heard that Jean's hairdresser Liz- opened her own tanning salon, on a whim I walked into this tanning salon to see if it was the one that Liz owned. I spoke with the young man sitting in the front of the store and it was her tanning salon. He told me that she was working at the salon 5 doors down. I got really excited and came into work the next week and told Jean that I had found Liz and that the new place was fab, in comparison to the "garage" Jean had been going to. Long story short--- I made an appointment for Wed. the 2nd to go out to the new salon. This is the same Liz that Jean found at Mane Attraction in Scottsdale, followed her out into ghetto in PHX and now will see her in QC. Liz and Jean are very excited, and we may do a nail appointment in Tempe if Bill is up to it.

John will be here today at 3pm
Bill and Jean have a lunch date tomorrow at 12:30pm with Skip, Joan, and Chris at Tomaso's if Bill is feeling up to it.

Bill is a little congested today, with a sore throat. We had to cancel the lunch for today and make it for tomorrow, because he wasn't feeling up to it. I already called Charlae to reschedule for 2pm.

Jean inquired about the cost of Charlae, she is thinking of discontinuing her services in light of the cost and Jean's new mission to save. Jean also would like to discuss with Skip and Joan the necessity of John and his fees. I told her to mention it to them at lunch tomorrow.

Have a nice weekend
