Life Just Got in the Way.
Wow, it has been awhile since I posted here! That's what happens when real life gets in your way I guess.
First, an update on my Dad. He is doing pretty good considering all he has been through. He got home on Tuesday, March 24th. He has been doing okay since getting home, but isn't really making any meals or anything, just pretty much resting. Nora has been bringing his lunch and supper everyday and eating with him and that really helps so much. He made a trip to Brandon on Thursday, March 26th which turned out to be useless as his surgeon didn't have any results back yet. He has another appointment tomorrow, but this time he phones in the morning to confirm that the results are back before he comes down. The surgeon has asked that Doug and I both be there, and I am trying really hard not to read all bad into that. I am hoping that it is because he is dealing with a 76 year old man who is somewhat hard of hearing and he just wants to make sure that we all know what is going on, what he did during the surgery and what he is recommending for treatment. Also hoping that he has asked us to be there incase we have questions and he can answer them first hand for us. Could also be that he wants to stress to us how important it is for us to make sure our own family doctors know that we have the family history of colon cancer now.
On Saturday we went to visit Dad, took him to the greenhouse to pick up a few plants and to get his planters. Gary put them all out for him where he wanted them and then we did a few more things around the house that he needed/wanted done. We stayed and had supper with him and then headed back to the trailer.
Yes, our camping season has started! Even though the weather has really been the pits I have so enjoyed being out there! I love the peace and quiet that goes with it. No phones ringing, no doorbells ringing! We have watched a fair number of shows we had taped, since the weather has been cold and wet and not good for being outside and I have been doing some knitting. I have been back making chemo hats again, they work up so fast and really are good for using up some odds and ends of yarn. I must get started on hats/mittens for the mitten tree and also have got to make the final decision on what I am going to do for the daycare kids for Christmas and get started on that.
Our basement reno's are slowly getting there, but with everything else on our plates right now we have just decided to not sweat it and it will get done when it gets done. I did get out and buy the border for the play room so we can put that up. I have an idea what I want for curtains, now just to find them*S* I must look through the catalogue and see if they have something similar to what I have in mind.
And now it is time to wake up my little ones, feed everyone and head outside. The bigger ones have been out playing for a hour now so they will be ready for snack. Our weather today is pretty nice, 21C. Wonder why we can't have this weather on the weekends?*S*
