70 years ago today was what is commonly referred to as D Day. The real name was Operation Overlord (bet ya didn’t know that!). More than 4000 kids, most under 20 years old, died, while 10,000 were injured in the initial assault. It was the first time there was an invasion over the English Channel in over 250 years. Just a bit of history to start off your day.
Today I need to leave by 6:15 so I can get to the gym for a quick workout and then make it to the warehouse by 7:30. Lori will need to take Ty to track and hopefully I’ll be back by a little after 8am. I’ll then get him at 9 and Jagger will probably sleep through the whole thing!
Yesterday I managed to clean off the basement steps and a bit of the mess down there in the afternoon. Today I’ll try to tackle a bit more of it. We’re taking a bunch of food to the food bank today in Arvada to try to help them out. I have some food that we just don’t eat as part of our supplies, as we rotate in and out the stuff we do eat and this was leftover.
The boys and I had a couple of errands yesterday and then I had some office work. I have a lot of office work I still need to wrap up that must get done today. Lori has a bunch of patients today that just don’t listen to the doctor coming in for re-do’s or infections. One lady didn’t follow instructions last Friday and didn’t take her antibiotics over the weekend and now has Mersa! They sent her home and she had to wait until this morning to go to the infectious disease center to get treated. Another lady went rock hopping or jumping from rock to rock in one of our National Parks a week after surgery and tore open her stomach incision! What are these people thinking? Why don’t they listen to the doctor? I guess some people just think they know more than someone with 12 years of medical school. Oh well, they get charged again so they pay double but the hard part for Lori is squeezing them in the schedule.
Time to run, there’s a slice of her day, what fun. Take care and God Bless. Hope everyone is doing well. I talked with Grandma Dixie for a bit last night as Lori was in bed by 7:30pm, hope you all in California are doing well. We’re going to try to figure out how to drive out for a few days once track and baseball are over, keep your fingers crossed!
