Got up very early this morning at about 2 AM.   But things happening in our life, and with Kamyk.  He was talking hospice and now is going back in for surgery.  Ron has been replacing outlets in the house after he found one soot discolored and melted from arching wires.  It has been a hard four days.  The water has been off for two days, so today after Ron replaced our cold water kitchen tap filters I started doing dishes.  At 8 AM.  After repeated medication taking and breaks, while he was doing the outlets at nearly 1 pm he took over to do the rest as I was not able to stand.   He bitched me out for pushing my self so hard but I returned the favor for him also pushing himself to replace the outlets on that line regardless if they needed it.  Now we are putting up my 34 inch TV that I had in my first office before I got the 55 inch 4K TV in the kitchen for Ron.  Ron wanted one to have at his stove so he could watch his cooking shows and try to follow them.  I love him.  I found the best extension / folding arm for him and was helping him find the perfect spot to put the TV / bracket.  Until I fell on the floor with my shoulders and back hurting so bad I couldn’t hold myself upright.   Then Ron got upset and mad because I hurt myself but instead of listening tried to banish me from the project.  But after I corrected three serious errors he made he admitted he needed my help, but he put huge conditions on it.  So I am sitting in my office typing this waiting until he calls me, or … Until I just go out and ask what next.  Sorry lots I wanted to post. 

Also for those that care my grand friend kamyk is again going into surgery which is better than him saying he was going to hospice, and he set up a joint text loop with his family and some of his friends.   Oh one of his family members is a huge piece of work who wants to make every conversation about her.  We are there because her brother may be dying but she tries hard to make everything about her.  I am only holding my tongue because I care about Kamyk so much.  She can not even use his preferred name which the other sister does.  Anyone who knows me understands how hard it was for me not to lash out at her for that.   But my friend thinks his life is over and he may be dying.  Not the time to pick a fight with his sister.  Hugs
