Complacent

    Life goes on and time flies so recording takes a very back seat. With Biden as president life is less urgent with politics and calm makes my life easier so I've become complacent. Jane returned to the Y the end of April with me and we go twice a week now. Gramma had her birthday with Mark taking her to lunch and Andrew and Robin stopping by but nothing from the rest other than Petra taking her to a Seniors Picnic at Cristo Rey June 16th. Mark also took Gramma to dinner on his birthday the 26th of June while we were getting 5" of rain that weekend ending our drought. We had our family vacation in Grand Haven May 20-27 at Antony's Place again with Gramma staying at Addie's Acres her cousin's nursing home. On the 21st we picked Phil and Stef up at GR Airport and Jon and family came at 7 that night.  We were all at the beach Saturday and it warmed up enough for the boys to swim. Jon left on Sunday at 6 and the week went fast and on Wednesday we were able to swim again at the beach as Phil and Stef flew out at 6. On Friday the 28th Dan's Fence replaced the broken fence in the back and the gate. In June I had the garage door fixed so it would move up and down even though we hoped to replace the doors but found out they were too low and not up to code to replace.  I took care of my brother a couple of times in June while Betty had dental work done as he needs to be with someone at all times. Dementia is sad as we see with my brother and mother-in-law but life goes on with God's help. On June 13th we went to Londa's daughter Jada's open house and at the family reunion on July 10th they gave Gramma a super nice blanket with pictures of family.  The reunion had fewer people but went well as Petra did not show up even though she had messaged us during the week she would help with mother, for show, her excuse she told Elidia was she was having a colonoscopy on Monday and we also did not answer her back if we were going. We had problems with our internet after the rains and spent 2 weeks trying to get Xfinity to get up it and our new HD tv service up and running, very poor customer service overall. I got my teeth cleaned this week, eye appointment and visiting nurse exam to cover health for me. I've been to 3 concerts at Sharp Park this summer by myself but it is good to get back out for some fun. Gramma had dental and foot appointments and Lukas had to replace all the brakes, hubs and calipers on the Malibu this week for $2000. A long update due to complacency on my part as a negligent fool. Lord forgive me my many mistakes and I am sorry to all I've hurt in the process.
