We visited Harvey at the nursing home. He was comfortable and calm, but totally delusional about what was going on outside his window. We tried to explain that the people out there with white sacks were planting rice, seeding the fields. He wasn’t buying it, spinning wild ideas of what was going on.

I’m just back from the cafe. It rained pretty hard for a few minutes and then cleared off with the sun coming out. I got a reasonable amount of work done, so I opted to come home and rest before dinner.

I felt like I had lost a whole generation when I got my wonderful necklace during Songkran, the water festival, with what were modern Disney characters that are so popular here. So I made it a point to look these up and make a record of the cute characters.

My other latest sketch.

I told you that one of the issues I had after my surgery a year ago in February was hearing loss. We got me some hearing aids and they have been wonderful. One of them stopped working and we went to the place who sold us the aids to have them look at them. It turned out with as careful as I have been to clean them, there is still a place that is almost impossible to clean that becomes blocked with ear wax. They changed out the ear wax guard and my aid worked perfectly again. We ordered some more, and changed out the wax guard in the other aid, which had since developed the same problem. Now I can change it out without having to make an appointment. Hooray!

We got my glass print of the “Rooster Runway” jigsaw puzzle a couple of days ago. It’s just a bit smaller that the personality portrait painting my dad painted of me, so I put them side by side on my statement shelf.

Brian has sent the photos of the “Cats on the Beach” puzzle for a glass print to be made, with strict orders to me to SLOW DOWN on my puzzle solving. So far, I’m complying, since my newest puzzle, “Abstract Cat” hasn’t arrived yet…. 🤣 🧩

Shout out to Michael, who was mopping his floor and slipped, falling and fracturing his wrist. He is my former hairdresser and dear friend, so he will need all of our good thoughts on helping him perform his job, slipping off and on a soft cast splint thing until further notice.
