Must not have to deal with doctors' handwriting then......with zero mistakes.
Flooring looks great! That's a huge place!
So, my brother was unaware that the co-worker was trying to backstab him & that she really seemed to have it in for him, but he did note that she's been unusually rude to him ever since the incident and he has never once been rude to her. Turns out the president of the company they work for called out her BS and shut down any arguments she had trying to blame my brother. He said where my brother was at the time the kid escaped was irrelevant because his arcade side was not responsible for the children from the kid's arcade side. End of argument. Brother is still leaving though. Other employee is mad bc she is being treated like a new employee when she's got a manager's position. She's still getting manager pay but her responsibilities have been reduced until she can prove she's reliable. She somehow thinks its unfair even though she screwed up multiple times.
Last night (well Saturday night), Mom went to get ice cream out of the freezer and didn't bring her cane. She fell and faceplanted on the floor right in front of the door to the living room. This was right when my brother got home. I heard a thunk and then she was screaming. I got out there as fast as I could and she was in Muslim prayer position on the floor shouting at me. Brother came in and I called to him that she fell and I needed help getting her up. Brother stepped over her and got into the living room in front of her while I grabbed a dining chair. He got her to grab his hands and then picked her up and set her in the chair. Her knees are bruised up but she's OK. She stayed up all night and so did I. Kept checking on her, asking her if she was nauseous, how many fingers I was holding up, etc. She was hungry in the morning so I got her breakfast and then we both racked out for the day after noon. I did get up a few times to check on her.
She's back up again and I just got her some food. As soon as I sat back down, the kitties piled on me. LOL.
I cleaned the cat's waterer and changed the filter. Fed kitties. Fed doggies. Fed Mom. Went to Walmart for curbside pickup. They didn't give me $40 worth of stuff so I've requested a refund because they either forgot to pull it or they gave it to the wrong person somehow. All I know is, we didn't get it and I doublechecked the truck, the front room, the kitchen, etc and it didn't make it home with us. Took trash out. Changed the insulin cartridge on Mom's insulin pump. It's a convoluted process. I have to put the needle in the cartridge to draw any air out of it. Then I take the needle out and draw more air in to the syringe, I then jab the needle into the insulin vial (which is held upsiidedown) and push all of the air into the bottle. This forces insulin to fill the syringe. I draw as much insulin as will go into the syringe and then push a drop out to get rid of any air bubbles-- I also tap the syringe to bring bubbles to the top. Then I fill the cartridge from the syringe. Then I have to take the old cartridge off the pump, put new tubing on the cartridge, put new cartridge into the pump, remove old tubing from canula, hold new tubing straight up and tell the pump to fill it until 3 drops come out, connect the tubing to the canula, fill canula, and then tell the pump to resume normal function. Oh yeah, I have to tell it to stop pumping while I do cartridge change.
Cooked for Mom again awhile ago. And battled my dumb orange cat who does not take a hint. He slept on my head the night before and kept making me overheat. Then he kept climbing on me the entire time I was home-- following me into the bathroom, following me around the kitchen, zerging into the living room. He clawed up my arm trying to cling to me when I pushed him off of me because I was trying to eat or use my keyboard. He stomped all over my keyboard repeatedly. He's so dumb he just won't learn or understand that I didn't want him on me. He also kept trying to climb under my covers-- which involved digging with his claws. Then he rammed me in the leg and tripped me when I was on my way to the bathroom. After that he ran into the living room and knocked stuff down. He just gets so desperate for attention sometimes it gets so aggravating. LOL.

My first wife was like that.
that can be exhausting 
Got to my Coretec-like, Mohawk LVP job at the rental and discovered the base is all back on ..... and then caulked afterwards with clear something
...acrylic I think. I guess when our 9.0+ tsunami hits this second story apartment (200' elevation) will be fine....... just fine.
He caulked the bath and kitchen with silicone and that fine. Bath is 5x5 and kitchen mostly 4x14.
I'm supposing he'll be ok with the 500 sq feet of flooring he caulked to the baseboards in this area....... Buy why?
. Renters don own mops

I had a king bed frame that I didn’t have a need for. Could t throw it away and it was too good for the Goodwill. Looking at just how much solid wood (cherry) there is, I’m keeping this baby and making something with it. I ran the pieces through the planer and will rip them down for gluing tomorrow, need a new table saw blade for that. I’ll let you know what I come up with.
Yeah, it would be expensive to buy nice wood like that.
I think it will be fine. These clicks are pretty stable. There's a renter in the lower level of the home insuring stability. Living near the coast means relatively stable wood moisture content year round..... So I think he'll be good.Got to my Coretec-like, Mohawk LVP job at the rental and discovered the base is all back on ..... and then caulked afterwards with clear something

I put a new saw blade on this morning, cuts like butter. Got a few used ones I’ll have to have sharpened so they can be on standby.
Playing with some Wilsonart Formica today. Do you tape your corners???

I also like Diablo blades.
They do make a decent blade.
I cleaned up the edges on my cherry boards and glued them together. Now I just gotta figure out what I wanna make outta it. We also glued up a couple cutting boards with all the smaller pieces.
Good times!
I took Fippy to the vet to get his claws trimmed, allergy shot, and heartworm shot. Went to the post office and grabbe McDonalds on the way home. Fippy was very excited when I asked him if he wanted "a burger sandwich". Mom wanted a fillet of fish and a coffee.
I'm still feeling slightly cruddy so I rested most of the day. Or at least, I can't even remember what I did most of the day other than the vet visit and cooking for Mom later on.

Did Fippy get a burger?
Glad mom is ok. Falling isn't good at any stage of life.Must not have to deal with doctors' handwriting then.

Funny thought came to mind when your brother came to help.....
....I thought you were going to say that he picked up the ice cream.
Off an on for a month now, I got this old rental completed. Got totally cleaned up and outa-there about 9 last night...... the renter is moving in as we speak. No more flights up and down those 24 stairs........ my ass is whooped. 
I'm still doing measuring and only work about 4/5 hours a day, so this job seemed never ending. Most by far was prepping and getting the floor flat.
(flat enough)

This is the upstairs of a 100 year old house that had been added on to at least once, probably twice? The floor was like an ocean. High here, then too low just 3 feet away.
The yellow line continues from the kitchen counter area all the way to the bedroom doorway, 24 feet away. This was a high area that immediately dropped to a low area that was just 4 feet away. The white is where I added 2 sheets of 1/2" plywood. It was kind of bowl shaped, so before installing the plywood, I added some vinyl flooring and roofing felt to flatten this low spot.
....and this was b a r e l y touching the surface at getting the prep figured out.

Here's the wide hall area leading to the living room.
The center was a hump (yellow ) varied from 1/2 to 3/4 inch too high. The worst, the 3/4 inch high is at the breakfast bar area. To the right an left was my zero or level mark, so we're talking a 3/4 hump in like 7 feet?
The yellow area was a hump and went from the bar, 24ish feet down and centering at a bedroom doorway. It was like a tent........ In the worst place possible for a click LVP.
This was mostly 3 1/2" by 3/4 fir flooring I was dealing with, so you couldn't just dump buckets of self leveled........ Ok, you "could", but .... You know
The white square is where I cut out some for flooring and replaced it with 1/2" plywood to start flattening this long area.
I sanded the yellow high spot, added 1/4" plywood along the right side then installed 3 sheets of 1/2 inch plywood in the funky room on the left side because it was a major low area.
I glued and stapled thinner plywood and sanded it so I'd use mostly plywood and less filler over the fir floor.
It was a total nightmare blending these areas together. My Huepar laser level was a faithful saint, helping the entire time.
I'm only describing a fraction of what happened and I'm so grateful the owner didn't set limits on my time. He trusted and didn't push me. He supplied, even delivered all the plywood.
It turned out really nice.
No more surfing on this floor. Paddleboarding maybe.
