The equipment is here to tear up the yard for the $15000 sewer mandate and I need to move my black scallop ajuga. I adore that plant and never found it offered locally again. Very low and tight growth, lovely blue flower spikes in spring. Spring? When was that? Oh yes, nearing the end of June aren't we?
My flowers are slowly croaking and the multi colored mini tunia is half dead. The white variety never fails to thrive and they are doing well in the front. So I stopped at Lowe's and bought the plug packs of pink begonias to stick in the barrels, they should be a nice size by the time the pink petunia dies (or the equipment destroys them). No sign, but they priced at one half. First financial break in months, even if it was only $4! Still no recovery on that fricking $60+ nightgown and the other one.
I had to drop off pages and pages of copies for the Medicaid program which Carole reluctantly needs. My government offices are still not open to the public, but for the second time, it appears they aren't open to employees either. They are in the stores and restaurants and bars, but they certainly can't take the chance to sit six feet away from a person in need that has been paying their salary and benefits. In stark contrast, the bank employee went over and above her job, and I am extremely grateful, and will certainly let them know.
Carole is discharged today with many appointments scheduled for follow ups. They said her left leg is at this time not life threatening and she could wait a few months to accept the surgery. Not treating the right, which if done, would prevent the destruction and loss as what happened to the left. No longer in rehab, she will have a room mate, not happy at all about that. Of course, that is up to me to change it regardless of the countless calls that explain I cannot. Not diagnoses, treatments, locations, time, medications, and now $$$ with self pay admission. Everything is running on empty.
I keep up with little Levi's site on FB and a sampler caught my eye. Jeny Brimer was searched and searched and finally I found out that Milady's Needle will be releasing it. First time in months I actually had a resolution to a query! Another interesting but uncomplicated sampler of manageable size. Sweet.
Hope you have a good weekend!

That's our tax dollars hard at work, Marly. Our SS office never has cars in the parking lot so I assume they are not back to work either.
Poor Carole and poor you for having to deal with all the issues...and Carole. You are a saint.
What a sweet sampler!
Still having trouble with Woman Within? Have you been trying to call? When returning to anyone, I've had great response with emails...even with the covid thing, eventually, you should get a response, be sure to include order and tracking #s...but maybe you have already done this...feel so badly that on top of everything else, the return process has also been a pain in the hiney. Good luck!
Even with having the help of an Elder Care Lawyer (waaaay too expensive but necessary for our needs) and the social worker at my mother's geriatric doctor, I am still dealing with Medicaid woes. I hope you have a better experience than I have had. I know that Carole needs the care that you are trying desperately to provide. Please look for a senior care social worker who knows the ropes. Maybe one of the sites like A Place for Mom can give you some help. I know you need it. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
Just love the Jeny Brimer...I wager you would enjoy doing that one. Do wish that Woman
Within problem could be resolved..one less headache on the list. I cannot begin to fathom how you cope with the Carole concerns... Praying you both through. Is there no
way you can preserve part of your lovely garden or replant for future? Your summer blooms are always outstanding. Please try to relax and have a blessed weekend.
Your blooms are looking blooming fantastic.... The few I did indulge in this year have never looked so poorly....and I really can't even fault the weather. Guess my heart just isn't in it. Love your ajuga...and hope you can salvage it. I am going to have to do some research to see if it is hardy for this frigid zone. You must have patience I do not. I was a mess after struggling for the better part of 2 days to replace the hose out back. Sometimes even the little things can just be too much to bear. ~Robin~
I admire all you do for carol. I am sure she appreciates it. Keep up your strength, you will make it. I really don’t understand all of carols medical issues but it truly seems like they’re treating her poorly. I love seeing your stitching and all your comments! Makes me laugh. Also,all the caring of the kitties. You are a special person. Take care of yourself.
Don't know how you are handling everything at one time. Carole, flowers, Nitzy, Medicaid, etc, etc. etc.
The new sampler looks like enough to keep you busy for a while. I like it.
I hope some of your flowers can be saved to enjoy for the remainder of the summer.
Praying there will be a light at the end of your tunnel in the near future. I agree with Nancy about you being a special person. Please take care of Marly.
Sending hugs and prayers,
Charlotte in Va.
Our tax dollars at work, it is absurd. How can we possibly reconcile the waste and atrocity in this state?. I had MIL in a private pay assisted living facility for almost 2 years, I won't even talk about cost, they were good to her, she liked it there, after an adjustment period but we were there every day, every day, sometimes twice a day. 10 minutes from our home. No matter how much or how you pay, an advocate is essential. Now with the "excuse" of Covid no longer relevant, why are so many restrictions in place?
The pieces of the puzzle remain missing.....
Love that little sampler! I think your flowers look amazing, some of mine look good, so not so good. Oh well, take care of yourself. June is half way over and we are all still catching up, right?
Marly: That Sampler is amazing.
I do wish Carole and yourself could find the right doctors.
It has been so warm here and no rain that all my flowers are looking sad even with water and plant food.
Hmmmm if I had four dollars I would buy me a Burger King Whopper, there are none near us and every once in a while I crave one.

Love the little sampler you have found to make.
Your flowers are looking great -- mine are eaten by the slugs. Never did they do this before.....
Take care and stay save--you deserve the title the best sister of the world,I think.
Big hug, Truus from Holland
Hope that is good news for Carole, I agree no one should have a room mate in a hospital/rehab. Your plants still look very pretty, $15,000. Wow!!! Thanks for the heads up on Jeny Brimer. IseeTraditional stitches is doing a pre order, questioning myself should I order now or wait until threads are available at same time. Well just order now would hate to find pattern no longer available! Be well. Hot asHell here in RI
