03-17-23 Kids and Cards
I tossed and turned most of the night and finally got up at 6:15. I was just about ready to leave for work when I got a text. It was from Danika’s number and I figured Gwen had gotten hold of her phone so I replied and then FaceTimed with her. Gwen was so smiley and happy that it was me. What a great little bonus granddaughter that she made my day.
I managed to get a great deal accomplished at the office and then left early to go to Mom’s apartment to clean out the fridge and get her mail. Next I went to pick up my two new pair of readers at the optometrist, one of which, the ones I need to read in bed, gave me double vision. They said they would try to find a solution and call me. From there I headed to the hospital to visit Mom who I found sitting on the side of her bed looking unhappy. Seems she was waiting for the nurse, thinking she needed to be cleaned up, but he already had taken care of her. She has been unable to remember some simple things and it is unnerving. Still waiting on more test results unfortunately. We did play a game of crib and it was pretty close but I won. She would play an 8 but say 7, It was awkward.
I came home and cut up all the apples she had to take them as my appy to poker night. It was a good night for me and at the break at 10 I had big stack, the biggest they have seen they said, although I am not sure of that. Unfortunately by 11:30 I was fading fast and went all in to go home. I was the 4th remaining which is the best I have done and I got so many bounty chips from taking others out that when I cashed them in it covered what I had paid to play so a great outcome all round. The cards had been crap after the break and even though I folded often, the blinds ate up my stack quickly. I did stay in longer than several people who are at the top of the league so that was awesome.
Earlier today when I came home I found some friends hanging in our park.
I am extremely tired and have a funeral tomorrow, so off to bed I go.
