Karolina arrived around 1:30 PM to help Joan shower and was her hair. After that, she applied finger nail Polish and Joan was happy.
I'm glad I made the decision for Karolina to attend to Joan's hygiene needs and for Paige to come twice a week for three hours to sit with her. I felt we both needed a break from each other, and it gives Joan a chance to talk with two women instead of just me.
Today, I just put gas in the car and then sat in Solacki Park for an hour listening to the audiobook of Big Sur by Jack Kerouac. His writings had a big influence in my life and I still like reading at different time. It's much easier to have the read to me by an audiobook.
Like Tales of the Alhambra by Washington Irving, I enjoy rereads,
Meanwhile, Ukraine.
One of Australia’s most highly valued defense firms is helping Ukrainian soldiers knock Russian drones off the battlefield, riding a surge in military spending by Western governments with tech combating the weapon of the future.
From the trenches of Ukraine to the Red Sea and the cartel wars of South and Central America, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are an ubiquitous part of modern conflict conducting surveillance, taking airports offline, dropping deadly payloads, and carrying out so-called “kamikaze” strikes.
Shares in the Sydney-based DroneShield– whose tech was originally conceived as a high-tech mosquito swatter– soared over 300 percent in the last year on hopes that it is uniquely positioned to profit from the wars of the 21st century.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has ruled out any withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the eastern Donbas region as part of a potential peace agreement with Russia, insisting Kyiv will not abandon what he described as its “real defending line.”
In an interview with Kyodo News in Kyiv, Zelensky rejected Moscow’s demand that Ukrainian forces pull back from the region, where some of the heaviest fighting of the full-scale war has taken place.
“We can’t withdraw from our territory. It’s our real defending line,” he said, as negotiations with Russia continue.
Zelensky stressed that Ukraine is prepared for genuine compromises to achieve peace – but not at the expense of its independence or sovereignty.
“We are ready to talk about compromises with the United States. But not to receive ultimatums from the Russians again and again. They are the aggressor. Everyone has recognized this. This has not changed,” he said. Source-Kyiv Post
