<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This makes me admire you even more Gigi. I took over paying all the bills when Gregg was on deployment. When he came back from them he preferred our arrangement and I still do it to this day. Since I have had my own health issues these last two years, he is doing most of the heavy work. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

12.3.2025 16:16Comment on Who will do all the chores? by gigihawaii<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are caregivers who will come, but they do cost money. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Terry and I have always shared the load of chores around the house. He is better at some things and I am better at others. We try to keep our chores aligned with our talents. Now that we have the cat colony it takes both of us, almost full time, to do the work. We laugh about what the cats would do if one of us goes down. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have a wonderful kritter sitter now who comes when we travel, which isn't too often. We've talked about hiring her on a more permanent basis to do some of the work should we become incapacitated. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

They consider it part of their benefits of being retired. Can you assign him some jobs to make your life easier? He could fold laundry, wipe down counters and load the dishwasher, wipe down the bathroom counters and pay bills. You would be doing him a favor. His activity would increase and he would become more self reliant. Granted this does not apply to all men but it does to some. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

12.3.2025 13:35Comment on Who will do all the chores? by gigihawaiiThis was shot in Kauai, Hawaii. *** David is lucky that I still do all the chores. I wash the clothes, towels, sheets and blankets, etc. I take out the trash and get the mail. I bring in the groceries and put them away. I put food and beverages on the table and wash the […]
12.3.2025 10:01Who will do all the chores?It was sunny and 78F when we got into our car at 1:30 pm last Thursday. We decided to drive to Heeia Kea Boat Harbor on the Windward side of Oahu. We got on the H-3 heading to Kaneohe. Those are the Koolaus over there: On the other side of the Harano Tunnel, we saw […]
10.3.2025 10:01David drives to Heeia Kea Boat HarborYesterday, I hosted a luncheon party with friends I have known since childhood. For example, I have known Lynette since first grade. We lived near each other, and I remember playing Jacks with her on my front porch in Manoa. These friends are all my age (79). We graduated from Roosevelt High School (Class of […]
3.3.2025 10:01Party with friendsIt was Sunday, February 23. It was sunny and 81F. We decided to see Waimea. So, at 2:15 pm, we got in our car, took the H-1 heading West, and eventually found ourselves on Kamehameha Highway. We bypassed Haleiwa Town and proceeded to Waimea. That’s the magnificent Pacific Ocean on the horizon: *** But we […]
26.2.2025 10:01David drives to WaimeaDavid had cataract surgery on his right eye on Tuesday, February 18. Dr. Sila Bal performed the surgery at the Eye Surgery Center, located in Iwilei near Costco. He wore an eye shield after the surgery as shown in the photo. He saw Dr. Bal again on Wednesday, and it seems the surgery was a […]
24.2.2025 10:01David’s cataract surgeryDavid and I drive every week without fail, because we need to get out and break our cabin fever. It’s so unpleasant to be cooped up all week. Last week, we drove to the car wash in Waipio and then we got gas at the nearby Costco. Gas was $3.99 per gallon, somewhat less than […]
19.2.2025 10:01David drives to HaleiwaI like to think of the afterlife. David is an atheist. I am not. I believe that there is a supreme power that created the universe and life, itself. If you believe in cause and effect, then it is logical and reasonable to believe that something caused the creation of life. However, is what we […]
17.2.2025 10:01The AfterlifeBy the time you read this post, the annual Punahou Carnival will have ended. The Punahou Carnival Art Gallery is the largest art show in the state. Featuring more than 1,000 artworks by nearly 300 Hawai‘i artists, the gallery includes paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, ceramics and glass. The Art Gallery is a highlight of the Punahou […]
12.2.2025 10:01Punahou Carnival Art Gallery 2025Lately, David has been busy going to many medical appointments at Straub. He will undergo cataract surgery on his right eye on February 18. It’s nothing new, as he previously had cataract surgery on his left eye in 2017. After his cataract surgery, he intends to have carpal tunnel surgery on his left hand. It […]
10.2.2025 10:01We’ve been super busyBefore arthritis struck me, I used to dance. Dancing and music naturally go together, don’t they? In grade school, the teacher had us get up and dance the Bop. Remember the Bop? It was back in the 1950s, so long ago. My God, that was back in the Cave Age! Haha. The Bop: *** Then, […]
