G'day y'all. Warm, 70/21° and wet here. Mum's currently napping on the loveseat. I'm a bit worried about her. She chose to skip church this morning. She's been extremely tired the last few days. She says it's because beginning the week before Christmas we've been busy plus our trip North was tiring. She tires much more quickly now than she did a year ago. I think the heart attack this summer was more debilitating than she admits. 

I leave tomorrow morning on the train to Philadelphia and don't get back to SC until Wednesday evening. I don't like leaving her alone. Thistle loves her but he isn't much help other than cuddling. 

I’m a bit scared about Wednesday. Dad seems very casual about the cardiac stent, I am not so relaxed

Morning y'all! I hope 2020 has been going well for all of you so far.

For me, I am currently undecided if I should apply to become a math tutor at my college. I mean, it's a part time job and the pay is like $10 an hour, but I ain't sure if I'd actually be good at tutoring.

 

Monday, Drew!   I say go for it... the only way to know is to try it. My guess is you'd be great at it, and who doesn't want a cute tutor.

Will the neighbors keep a check on her?

  I was prepared for a stent but didn't get one. It was scary before the fact, but after they were done with the angiogram, I could see it wouldn't have been so bad. It's a relatively quick process... still I was glad it turned out not to be necessary.

Oh yeah. They're great about doing that. After I posted earlier she went back to bed. That's unusual but I just heard her moving around in the kitchen. Best check on her.

Hi all, happy Sunday

I made it safely back to the apartment. I left a bit later than I would've like to to not have to drive by night but it was okay. I even managed to park backwards in one go beside the neighbor yay! 🙃

Looping is staying at the parents as I only have exams on Monday and Friday and might go back in between. Plus the brat was hiding under the bed when I was leaving...

Is there a neighbor or someone who can check on her while you're gone?

Hey, Cutie Pi.       Sounds like an interesting job. You're a very smart man, so I have confidence you'd be a great tutor.

The neighbors on both sides will check. When she woke this afternoon she was much perkier. Since neither of us had eaten today we went to the local Cracker Barrel for late lunch/ early dinner. Now she's out for an evening walk with the one neighbor.

We're having scalloped potatoes and ham for dinner. Watching Holes on TV. (No, Dugh, it is not a drilling documentary.) I like Sigourney Weaver.

It seems very quick. Because he is not early in the day, they have suggested he bring an overnight bag just in case but otherwise it’s in the operating theatre and then out the door

Hey, Tea Bat.     I made Blueberry-Hibiscus green tea today.   

[Bucket1]

Gary, did you get a nuclear Power plant warning? Bluefish scary

Glad to hear it was all a false alarm

Yeah, it was a drill, and never should have been issued. Idiots! I'm far enough away that I wouldn't be quite as crispy as the ones close by.

Hmmm, this sounds like an opportunity to bring fantasy to life ... shy but sexy young math whiz tutors hunky young jock, sparks fly, clothes too ... and you get $10 bucks an hour.

Sexy, you make me sound as if I'm an escort.

You won't know unless you try.  Sounds like a perfect part-time job.   

I just need to brush up on my algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, because while problem-solving comes easily to me, I would need to explain how I'm able to solve different problems to someone new to these subjects.

Hey Handsome!  Okay, you, Val and Dugh have convinced me. I'll fill out the application form!
