slow learner

I just don't seem to learn from the past 

    For instance:  At the wedding yesterday I had a coffee.  That was about 5:30.  And I had a Coke. Probably around 5.

    Lots of caffeine late in the day.  So at 1 a.m.l as I am wide awake and watching Reels on Facebook, I kicked myself for having caffeine that late in the day.

    I don't think I slept until after 2.  

    Ton night I got hooked on Reels again and spent about 40 minutes watching landslides, floods, police chases and road rage incidents.

    I need to avoid Reels and caffeine.

    We had a great time today with Jackie's brother Bob, his wife Anita, and Jackie's sister Judy.  Bob and Anita are up from Florida to visit family in Illinois.  I think he picked a good time to leave as that hurricane is making life a little difficult.  He said there was no damage in the area where he lives, which is near Ft. Meyers.

    I picked up some Portillo's beef and rolls for supper.  It turned out pretty good, but we do have leftovers.

    We also had a visit from 2 lovely little girls, Nora and Gwen, who seemed to enjoy playing with my blocks and petting Beth.  Oh, their grandparents were with  them.

    A big THANKS to Sheri for feeding Beth and for letting her out  last night .  

    A big THANKS to Kevin and Emily for coming over yesterday afternoon and helping get Jackie up off the floor.

    That's another lesson.  We have a. transport chair and a wheelchair for use in the house.  Don't ask, just know they are different.

    The transport chair is a little narrower and is easier for me to move her into once she gets off the pot.

    So why I use the wheelchair is a mystery.  But I did, and we missed the chair, causing her to hit the ground.  Softly, but she did bump her head slightly.

    Of course, we were getting ready to go to the wedding, so that put us off schedule by about 20 minutes.

    As they say in sports, no harm, no foul.

    Tomorrow is the end of the season for Cubs fans.  Today's game was especially poignant because Kyle Hendricks pitched.  Kyle has been a Cub for 11 or  so years.  He was a key player on the 2016 World Series winning team, and the last member of that team still with the Cubs.

    Kyle has had a rough year.  Early he was horrible, later he was good some games, not so good other games.  Today he pitched almost 7 shut out innings.  When he left the mound, the fans gave him a long standing ovation.

    Kyle hugged everyone in the dugout, then took a curtain call.  It was very moving for a long suffering Cub fan.

    Kyle will be a free agent.  The Cubs have not made an offer to the 34 year old pitcher and probably will not make an offer.  Today could have been his last game as a Cub.

    He realizes that, his team mates realize it, and the fans do too.

    It was touching to see the love they showed for him, and the love he gave back.

    It's a game, but a business too.

Peace and Love
