Hi Kyra,
Sorry I haven’t responded sooner. I sent this from my iPad to your email too.  I’m sure the Eva is happy now that she’s off for the summer. Hope your weather has improved some.  I read the post on the forum about the kitties and critters eating together. That must be something to watch. What have you been making lately? Hope you’re all feeling good too.

We’re doing ok, going through a lot here. New washing machine works great so that’s good ??. New tires really make for a nice ride to and from work.

Damon’s retiring at the end of this month. Earlier than expected but his left wrist is really hurting so he decided to go out earlier than he had planned. He can’t get a surgery date for the carpal tunnel release which he only wants the surgeon who put his wrist back together after his car accident in 2016 to do it since he did a special procedure and Damon doesn’t want someone else to mess with the wrist. Been try to get it the past six months and now he found out it might not happen till September. Biggest problem is his SS won’t start till the second week in July. Good thing is he won’t be spending $160+ a month on gas for the car and good thing I get my SS already to cover the gap till he gets his.

Work’s been super busy. We’re trying to get all of the 2022 incident reports done by the end of June so there’s been some volunteer overtime which will come in handy. We’re also breaking in a new clerk. Fortunately she’s been fitting in and picking up the work fairly well. She was a nurse for 20 years so isn’t a novice when it comes to paperwork and computers.

My Afib hasn’t settled down much yet after two months so I emailed my cardiologist and lo and behold he actually called me at work. He said to increase the dosage I have been taking to 4 pills a day, two in the morning and two at night. Plus I can take a fifth pill if needed. He said I was on a very low dose so I think it’s one of those kind of medicines that they work up to the level that takes care of the problem. Silly me, should have asked that question before. Both of us are having to use Apap machines for obstructive sleep apnea. Damon’s using his now and mine came last Thursday so I’m going to start trying it this Friday.

We might be having to help Damon’s mom this summer as I think she’s selling her house in Pine Valley and then purchase a travel trailer and put it alongside our house for the summer months and then go back to AZ when it cools down in September. She’s got so much stuff that I hope she has someone come in for a sale. We have power, water and sewer for a trailer as the previous owners had a big motor home they parked there. Will be interesting!

I have been in two crafts shows now, that first one I mentioned before I made back the $10 fee plus $4.75. The second one I made over $37.50 (no fee) mostly from my jewelry and one scarf. I think the next ones in October and December will do much better. I will make more jewelry and more scarves.

Our weather has been cool, overcast and the usual May gray that we get.
My apologies in not writing sooner. It’s just been crazy here.

Love you and didn’t mean to worry you,
Colleen
