Half Empty Nest

We loaded L up last Thursday to move her to the Chattanooga area.

She is renting a room in someone's house. Her window is the upstairs one.

I took a picture before we started bringing stuff in so we could see it neat.

She has a large bedroom, a bathroom of her own, a large walk-in closet, and common area privileges.

There is even a hammock in the front yard if she has any free time! The house sits on a hill with lots of trees--plenty of birds for L to watch!

Catching Up

We got home from our Florida trip to find out that Mr. M had signed himself out of the assisted living and was returning home. He has someone else that looks after him now, although I have taken his cat, Pepper, to the vet since he doesn't have a cat carrier.

T went to summer camp in Georgia the first week of July (more in a separate post).

L decided to move to the Chattanooga area. I went down with her the last week of June--she found a room to rent in someone's house. It seems like a nice place and the lady she'll rent from seems to be really nice too. We went down again the week T was at camp for a job interview with the same company she works for now, but in Cleveland. She has not heard back yet, everyone seems to be out of town when she calls, but she figures it will be easy to get a CNA job somewhere if this one doesn't work out. She'll be moving down there next week.

I finally went to the Dr. about the dizzy spells I've been having (started with a real doozy of one in April, lately became more frequent). She said it sounded to her like BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo). She gave me some antihistimine which stops the vertigo--said to take it four times a day--it made me so sleepy that I slept all day. I may be getting used to it though. If that doesn't work, she gave me some other allergy medicine to address sinus buildup. And, if that doesn't do it, some antibiotic in case of a sinus infection. I also have some exercises to do. Hopefully, one of the treatments will work and the vertigo will end soon.
