Went off to my boyfriend's for a couple of days. I bought him the new Zelda game, Tears of the Kingdom. He loves it. I like to watch along when he's
playing (it's absolutely gorgeous, along with its predecessor Breath Of The Wild) .
Dad is now able to go to the bathroom himself, which is a major advantage, but getting things out of the fridge is still ways to go.

I'm a chaotic person in a family of chaotics - which is occasionally frustrating, like today when we lost a phone (found it) phone charger (missing)
and painkilling joint gel (also missing). Been searching for hours with painful joints, little result on either missed item.
Though I did find my manicure kit.

Dad had been looking forward to the Gruppo Sportivo concert - so much in fact he mentioned it to all his nurses and doctors - I bought tickets for him
and arranged him to get a wheelchair seat.
Got an e-mail a few days ago that the concert, which was supposed to take place today, has been postponed to September. By then I hope he won't need
that handicapped seat.

While I'm happy my dad twice danced with the grim reaper and stepped on his toes, my boyfriend wasn't so lucky. He lost his grandfather five months
ago, an uncle three weeks ago and his grandmother last weekend.
I'll be travelling up north again this weekend to say goodbye. Sadly the nan suffered dementia, but she was very sweet.

Thanks...
Tina's passing struck hard here as well. Dad loved sixties soul music and I listened to her as well.

Thank you, I'll pass them on.
Last Saturday was the funeral, which was very low-key, similar to gran's husband's five months ago. BF's mom related of grandma's life in a designated
room in the nursing home, a poem was read, then the coffin was taken to the car (care personnel formed a line at the exit and applauded her), she was
taken to the cemetery, where the family carried her to her final resting home, then another poem was read and we all said the Our Father together,
left flowers (and drawings by the great-grand children), and that was it.
Sooo now I know the Dutch Our Father by heart. The 2010 version.

Just want to update everyone that I have not heard
back from Gray Ghost his last email was 03/29/23 that is also the last day he visited the "Goose".
I emailed him in the beginning of April and 4 times this month (May) with no response.
I had told him back in March I was concerned because I had not heard from him and he said his Little Lady would contact me if something was to happen
him.
He and the Little Lady had taken a trip to the coast to assist some hippie friends of theirs that have a farm, one had had some sort of mental break
and the other was unable to handle the situation alone.
The one that had the issues had to be hospitalized they spent 10 days there "rounding up cattle, fixing fences and a barn" that got ran into by the
hippie with a mental break.
While Gray returned home the Little Lady remained behind tending to the remaining hippie, he had to go back to work on his returned and emailed me the
next day to say he worked 12 hours the first day and 10 the next but luckily got his copy of "Zappa '80" that saved his long day.
I am not sue what to do at this point but was considering checking the newspapers around Wellington.
Well there it is...

Poor Gray, sorry he's been through that.
I received an e-mail late last night, when I was in bed. The big reorganization has started, I've received my severance settlement - been given up
until today 10PM to sign it - less than 24 hours.
