12-2-24 SHORT HILLS: Dr. Lee said that the clunk syndrome happens with de-conditioned muscles, so I’m trying to get reconditioned, walking with weights and doing leg exercises. I’m anti-coagulated with Eliquis, now taking one twice a day.
We decided not to go to the family T-day at Anna and Gardner’s, but had a miniature here with guest Bill for hors d’oeuvres [spelled it right first shot] by the fire. Lily and Danna visited after dinner. Friday Alison and Dan visited for most of the day, bringing Joe’s [popular sandwiches from the Millburn Deli.] Saturday Anna, Gardner and Emmett visited in the morning, also bringing Joes. Emmett loves Blanca and Blue and toys from our kids and grandkids, which came out of drawers and closets and trunks. Emmett has a sweet disposition, is almost ready to walk alone, and can say ‘bubbles’. We also had a long call from Val.
Lily and Danna and a bunch of friends went to VT for the weekend. They were greeted with many mouse droppings, which they cleaned up and set traps and killed several of the rodents. They all said they had a wonderful time with about six inches of new snow. We hired exterminators for the mice and a cleaning service for the house. We go up in a couple of weeks.
The horses Mom and Dad had acquired a third horse, but had to return her because she picked on Raven and even knocked her down at one point. Raven was unharmed, but such aggressive behavior is unacceptable.
