The "We're Enjoying Dad", edition.

iPad shuffled to Rob Thomas and Santana, "Smooth".   Brian is in the house!!  Friday felt like Christmas Eve. His flight was scheduled to arrive  at 9:15 PM.  Dad was tracking the flight. Yes, my dad knows how to track flights, even bringing up the flight path map. "He's over Colorado now".  "The flight left early!"  "The arrival time has been moved up". The plane arrived at  9:12. Lol. We were at bagge claim by 8:50.  We people watched for a while. And then what do know?  He comes Brian strolling toward us waving. :-D  I hug him like I haven't seen him in two weeks!  ;-)  We gather up the bags and we head....home. :)

The Natural Four, "Can This Be Real". Saturday morning Dad took us to a breakfast buffet at Boulder Station. Boulder Station is the casino of choice. It's a "locals" casino.  Discounts and points. We'll be taking advantage of the $6.00 movies on Wednesdays. Saturday we had to get hangers for Brian. Yes,  I used all the hangers. :-p  I also bought a Dutch oven. I felt lost without one.  We have to look up to see where stores are located, the map out a route. We had a nice tour of the south side. Lol. It was new and shiny development. We also found where the  big trucks hang out.  We finally stopped at a Hispanic supermarket, Marianna's. I thought I might fresh salsa there. Man, I thought right. So much salsa!!!  I'm a salsa fanatic and I ended up in salsa heaven!!!  

Parliament, "P. Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up)". Get that head moving!!  I had to look at each type of salsa to read the ingredients. I settled on tatemada.  Roasted jalapeños, Roma tomatoes and I forgot the rest.  I'll look it up when I get home. That salsa was the bomb!!!  And hot. Not so hot that you are misersable for a while, but enough that you revel in the heat!  Yum!  We also bought a bag of tortilla chips...for $1.50. And the bag was huge!  Anyway, we'll be going back to try more salsas. And other products. And we'll probably visit the restaurant in the grocery store. I really like Mexican food.  Apparently I'm in the right place. We've been thinking about stopping at a pupusaria. That's for another time.  Oh yeah. Outside of the grocery store, employees were cooking...tacos and other treats and had big jugs of drinks that looked sweet. It was too hot to investigate. 100 degrees and they're cooking!  I'm just trying to get inside to air conditioning.  Lol. 

Kem, "You're On My Mind". Brian's been unpacking the rest of the boxes. I think we had 9 boxes total. I found the rest of my purses and shoes.  And my winter clothes. Dad says we probably won't need the really heavy clothes (Big Ass Grin). We also ended up putting some of the stuff we brought in the donation pile. Going through stuff a second time, you realize you don't need it. No....my shoes and purses stayed. Lol. Did I tell you that I did give away my collection of Coach bags?  Bags from the 80's and 90's.  The heavy leather bags. I wasn't using them, nor was I hoping to use them again.  Even the briefcase. Anyway, I had to deal with Moms collection of assorted purses and her collection was much larger than mine!  And yes, there was even more jewelry. And we found 10 umbrellas and candles in the vegetable bin in the refrigerator. So they won't melt, I guess. Gave it all away except the umbrellas. I'm questioning that now. Lol. 

Nelly, "Hot in Herre". Not hot in here, hot out there!!!  Lol. Trying to dance in this chair. Car will be here tomorrow. Think I'll hit the hot tub tomorrow morning. I'm still enjoying my self. The heat is a bit much. I'm confident I'll acclimate. ( I may be delusional - lol). I actually have nothing on the dialysis front. I posted a link for information, thanks to Devon Texas, on bring a live organ donar on Facebook. I can add the link here. You never know if you or a family member might want/need to donate. It's a daunting decision. But it happens. I know three people who gave a kidney to family members.   I need to get on the transplant list here. I'd like to talk with a social worker soon to get that process started. As I stated before, I'm supposed to meet with my care team this week, so I'll bring it up then. Again, back in Detroit there was always at least one social worker available every shift every day.  Ah well. 

Signing off with James. James Brown, " Get Up Offa That Thing".  Horns.So.Tight. Dance time.  How's the weather there?  I haven't checked. I'm still dealing with 100+ and the "monsoon".  I shouldn't laugh.  The flooding is real. I keep getting flash flood alerts on my phone.  Have a great Monday!!!!
