Yes, there were about 72,000+ fans I think at D's Taylor Swift concert UM. Sachat, I'm sorry you missed out on seeing Harry. My D absolutely adores Taylor Swift. She tried to get codes through me for next year in New Orleans and Florida after Taylor announced she was extending the tour.
Yes, Mile High UM! That's what I always used to think of it as although is it even the same location now? In August I went to the same stadium with my SIL and we were with 84,000+ fans to see Ed Sheeran. Ed had more ground space than TS due to difference in stage setups. We got several lightning delays but finally were able to enjoy the concert. I did not enjoy being shoved into the inside hallways with 84,000 other people though.
Wow, it's been a while since I've popped on here. I'm headed to another concert on Friday, this time in Las Vegas to see P!nk. I took Friday and Monday off and am looking forward to a little respite weekend. My coworker lost her F in August and was out for 2 weeks and it's our crazy hiring season, so I put in some long hours at work trying to cover both our jobs. The last few months have definitely been tougher on her. I was happy to hold down the fort at work. We've had some other things going on at work that just has us constantly hopping. I can't complain though, it's been a great place to work.
Kids are still doing well. S23 has a girlfriend. Just a recent development. He's in Puerto Vallarta vacationing with his F and Step-Mom so they are getting a week break. They met through his work. The funny thing is that her F used to be my old Principal at the Elementary school where I used to work. He moved to an admin position before I moved, but he is located in a different building. I have yet to meet her in the now sense. I'm sure I've met her previously as we went to their house one of the years for a school year end BBQ and she may have accompanied him to some other year end BBQ's at various co-workers homes. But I don't "know her" know her. S says he is planning on introducing her to us sometime in the next few weeks after he gets back from vacay.
D21 got a kitten. However, she got the kitten before she got permission from her landlord to have said kitten. So actually, I got a kitten. LOL. Hopefully he's not permanent but he's living in my guest room avoiding Lucy. Lucy is NOT happy. He's adorable and doesn't have a name yet. D21 and Niece20 are working on getting him approved and trying to come up with a name they both like. The first week they were spending the night and visiting him constantly. Last week it became more sporadic but I think between work and trying to balance being at their apartment and being here, it's just been a tough transition. D21 know he is in good hands when she has to be absent. He is really adorable. Lucy is ok if I go in and visit him and even pet him as long as I wash my hands before I pet her. However, if she hears me baby talk to him through the door, she gets mad at me and will hiss her dissatisfaction with me. I have to tell her, "you're still my girl. He's my grandkitty," and feed her a treat and then all is right in her world again.
S18 is doing well. He finished his EMT course and is getting ready to do his clinicals. He's been picking up as many shifts at the Fire Department as he can as well. He hangs out with nephew19 on his off hours and occasionally they all come and hang out here with me. Or we go out to dinner or a movie. Sometimes it's just my 3 kiddos and on occasion nephew19 and H's cousin's kid (neice20 or bonus kid as I like to call her) also join us.
M is doing ok. The statin medication hasn't had any side effects. We both feel like their has been some improvement with her memory, though she still struggles with short term here and there but definitely no worsening. We are quite busy with different doctor's visits. A recent eye check-up brought cataracts on the radar so she is scheduled to meet with a specialist to have that done. A recent bone density test also got us a referral to a bone clinic where she will need to have shots instead of medication for osteoporosis. Between that and the cataracts I do worry about her falling. It will be good to have the cataract surgery done. I have been to lots of doctors in the last year but only recently to an appointment that was actually for me. We switched primary medical companies on our insurance this year and it took me until September to get in with a new doctor, and then it was just to see the nurse practitioner. I'm to schedule a mammogram, blood work and possibly a colonoscopy but I've gotten around to doing exactly none of it. I will get them all done or scheduled before the end of the year, except I'm debating on the colonoscopy. Gotta do a little research on that one as I'm only 45 and maybe can wait still on that one.
The weekend after I get back from Vegas I'm headed to Denver to my nephew's engagement party. That will probably be a quick trip and back.
S18 and my B will be checking in on M while I am gone. S18 will probably use the grandkitty as an excuse to drop by, and might even stay with kitty in the guest room (his old room).
