weeks run together

 Son 2's cat died . He was 20 yrs old. He still has the younger one but had stated he will not get another cat due to his own health going down. His paperwork is on hold for his medical retirement while the gov't is shut down but since he has his Army medical retirement he is ok. VA did give him some good news, they connected with an Urgent Care close to him so he isn't looking for a ride to get there as he no longer drives interstate.He laughed when he found out it was our old doctor's before we moved here. 

Daughter 4 is now sharing  a car with her older son so they could buy a chest freezer. Younger son is walking to work to save $$.  She's glad the oldest and her family are doing ok.

Daughter 1 has blocked family due to ALL of us reporting to her doctor/law she was drinking and selling her prescription drugs. Her husband backed us as he worried she was going to end up killing herself. She's in rehab now so it's wait to see how this goes. 

Daughter 2 is worried about losing her job working at the school, last hired is first fired,she is still bartending but acknowledged her tips are way down and her hours there have been cut in half. She has 2 of her boys (adults) living with her still but they told her she should start looking at getting a smaller place as they are looking at moving next summer.

Daughter 3 said she is working 2 part time jobs, she has the 2 younger kids still at home both are working part time with still being in school.

Son 1 said he is doing fine, still working steady at IT company. 

Parents in law are doing good but Hubby's SIL of his younger brother was in really bad shape between heart and other issues. She's doing better after she said something to her heart doctor that our son had been zapped and it fixed he AFIB.SO they tried it.... it straightened it out like his did. 

Hubby got over pneumonia, Doc decided he wanted another test CT scan with dye on his lungs. Found granulomatous, passes through genes, affects immune system. He has recovered but we now know why he gets sick easily. Will have to work on a better routine for home blessing and making sure he eat healthy.

I have another tray of green tomatoes turning . I will add them to the ones in the freezer to cook into sauce.

I gathered thoughts of what I wanted to do with the beef that will be coming in late Nov thru Dec. Made the list so I wouldn't side track and not remember something. Already decided on the pork.

We have the wood/coal stove on for the last 2 weeks. I've been doing most of the keeping the wood in house. 

Hubby checked on the whole house generator and the solar well pump. He does a monthly test run to make sure they are in good working order. 

I still need to finish the deep cleaning. Slow process since there was several medical appts for Hubby.

I checked the pantry, medical supplies, etc. Have 2 out of 6 deep freezers to defrost, clean, organize and inventory this month. Picked up a few things we were low on. 

Worked on finances for next year. Need to check a few more things before we set those numbers. 

Set for a hard winter they keep talking about.

I hope everyone is healthy, got supplies for your homes and find something daily

Blessed be  Stay safe
