I was up at 5:30am but fell back asleep until around 5:45 before I jumped out of bed and showered to get on the road by 6:30am for Vail. The drive was peaceful and beautiful, someday hopefully we’ll be living in the mountains!
Meanwhile Lori was getting the boys ready for school and herself for work. She took both boys around 7:45 (I called her) and then was off to work.
I had three meetings between 8am and 10am and then was on the road for home by 10:40. Here in Colorado driving an hour and a half to Vail is like driving across Los Angeles so it’s really not a big deal, and besides, the view is a whole lot better!
I wrapped up my big pre sell with $735,000 worth of wine sold this month nationwide which is a pretty good showing all things considered. When I made it home I cleaned up the house, did the dishes and laundry and then it was time to go get the boys. Soon after that it was 6pm and Lori was home.
She jumped right on the phone to get in touch with the hospital to see about Bob. They wanted to send him home but I think she talked them into keeping him for a nights stay. The problem is he has no place to go! He has some insurance for 3 months in a facility but unless he’s in the hospital for 4 days, he doesn’t qualify and the doctors won’t admit him for 4 days! Eleanor is not strong enough to take care of him, even though she wants to, so he can’t go back there, unless we can arrange for some help to come in! So we have no idea what to do. We might have to drive out and get him and bring him back here to stay with us, not many other options we can think of. Maybe the Pres and his new Obama Care can help, fat chance.
Today I have some computer work and then we have a dinner with friends from Aspen at 5:30. Tommy and Ali offered to watch the kids which is a big help, thank you! During the day we need to both get a bunch of work finished. I think we’ll head to the mountains this weekend. Our friends in Aspen have offered up their house as they’re in Tahoe, but it’s a long drive, and we also have friends in Vail with lots of room who want us all to come stay. Lori and I both just need a few days off with some time to relax, think and re-energize. If I had the cash, I’d check us into a hotel with a pool and a spa. Next week I guess she’ll be going to California to try to get her dad into a home if he’s not there already. In any case, she’ll need to go to take care of everything otherwise we’re bringing him back here and then we’d both go, unless we can get him on a plane. She was on with the case worker last night trying many times to talk them into keeping Bob there for 4 days but it doesn’t look good. I’ll find out more what’s going on today.
So that’s us and all our drama, hope you are all well, take care and God Bless.
