I thought it was only gonna take an hour; boy, was I wrong! Nicole was in the closet for over 4 hours, but it looks amazing! I just sat in the chair, letting her know what to donate. Altogether, I donated 7 bags of stuff! Let\u2019s see how long I can keep my closet this organized. It is much easier for me to get in and out of my closet without fear of falling or bending.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teri &amp; Rich arrived around 8 pm. She has a beautiful lab named Delilah. She\u2019s so big we call her \u201cDeli Meat and Cheese.\u201d LOL. She also has a little dachshund named Dottie girl. I was really scared about how three dogs in the house would get along, but amazingly they all got along so well, and we\u2019re very well behaved. She also has a saltwater tank. They had to set up as soon as they got here to keep their saltwater fish and corals alive! We got done around 10 o\u2019clock setting the saltwater tank up. I say \u201cwe\u201d\u2026but I had no parts of that! I sat in the chair holding Dottie girl and dodging Deli. I put my back brace on just in case. I don\u2019t want to mess up the back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the weekend, Tom cooked barbecue chicken and a pork roast. We saved it so we would have dinner prepared when Teri and Rich stayed at our house. I also made a few side items. It is good to be back to cooking side items.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teri and Rich close on their new house in Saint Augustine on Wednesday. So they will stay with us until then.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3616D01F-369D-4D42-BDD9-642B1F0B8228-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-176\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10\/5 Tuesday&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had to meet with the pain management doctor at 7:30 am! He is all the way in Saint Augustine on Anastasia Island. But he is a fantastic pain management doctor. Basically, I have to pee in a cup, and then I can get my meds for the next month. Fun stuff, I tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing really exciting happened Tuesday. We just sat and talked and waited for dinner. It was actually good for Teri and Rich to do nothing. It is incredible how much work they\u2019ve done over the past month to get back to Jax so quickly. I am so happy to have them home and only 17 miles away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/trim.2BD3CDCD-1AEB-4BFC-BCF3-3759334625D2.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/E571988B-1AC2-4E5F-B4BA-6FD7EE6CEB7E.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><object data=\"blob:https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/3e69601d-991f-457a-8a42-49eed168eba4\">10\/6 Wednesday<\/object><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I stayed by myself all day and gave Dylan a break. Teri and Rich left in the morning to close on their house. They took their dogs with them. I just relaxed all day until Tom got home to take me to see their new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I put my back brace on and walked a mile with Rusty. It was amazing. I went at 8:30 am so the weather was nice. I was not able to fall asleep during nap time. I guess the walk gave me lots of energy. I need to keep up walking!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I did cook dinner for everyone and took it over to Teri\u2019s new home so everyone helping them unpack could have a home-cooked meal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10\/7 Thursday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I stayed at home by myself again. I gave Shelby a break! I got caught up talking to my friends Cheryl and Karen. I did not go for a walk because I was lazy. However, I took a nap!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My friend Andrea came by and cut some clippings from my plants in the backyard. She said it would be special to have some plants from my backyard put into her backyard. I hope the plants all take root and live long lives!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After she picked the clippings, she drove me out to Teri &amp; Rich\u2019s house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m not much help unpacking Teri &amp; Rich\u2019s house, but I can sit and pet the dogs. I\u2019m also good at eating dinner. Lol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10\/8 Friday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shelby took me to Baptist South for bloodwork. I\u2019m almost done with my first round of chemo. I think I\u2019m beginning to feel very tired, which is one of the side effects. It\u2019s that, or I\u2019m bored. I will say resting sure makes my back feel better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last night I wore my night guard on my top teeth. Since I\u2019m receiving Xgeva treatment, my teeth must be in good condition. I grit my teeth at night, and the dentist has wanted me to wear a night guard for years. Well, thank you, cancer, now I am&nbsp;\ud83d\ude21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My friend Cheryl came by to drop off a new book for me to read! It\u2019s about a cancer patient. I can\u2019t wait to start reading!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My friend Susan dropped by for a nice visit. I enjoyed spending time with her talking about our shows surrounding bachelor!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will be spending some time at my sister\u2019s house this weekend. We get to go shopping for new appliances for her new house!!! Hoping there are some good sales this weekend. Also, watch football, of course. She\u2019s going to be tired of us coming by and visiting!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday 10\/4\/21-Friday 10\/8\/21 Monday, Bethany got a break and did not come over this week.&nbsp; Nicole came over to finish cleaning up my closet.
