November 4th

I can not figure out where the heck this year has gone! So hard to believe that we are into November already.

Today is Gloria's funeral. It is a chilly, overcast, gloomy day, not a nice day(not that there ever is) for a funeral that's for sure. Gloria's daughter used to work at Ackland's with Gary. Gary asked the boss if someone was going to the funeral, and he didn't seem to think that it was needed. I was glad to hear that he changed his mind and that he was going. I think it would of been bad had their not been at least one representative from Ackland's there.

Talked to my dad last night and was asking him how my aunt was doing. It sounds like so far her treatments aren't bothering her too much and she is trying to keep everything as normal as possible. Like last time she does find that she is very tired and she needs to take a nap every afternoon.

I got my letter from the hosptial that I have to phone on the 10th of November and at that time they will tell me what time I have to be there on the 16th. I am not really looking that forward to the test, but the before stuff is what I think just might be the worst. No eating all day Tuesday, only drinking clear fluids. Then drinking that 'lovely' stuff and then of course nothing but clear fluids up till 2 hrs before I go to the hospital. Gary is taking the 16th and the 17th off, the 16th because he says he couldn't be at work while I was in the hospital and also they won't release me without someone there to look after me and the 17th just to be here because he thinks I will be pretty wiped out that day. Medications always do really weird things to me so he just might be right!

Yesterday afternoon Gary went to the doctor, and the doctor told him to go for an EKG this morning as well as blood work. So this afternoon I sit her not so patiently waiting for the phone to ring...but also hoping it doesn't. If they don't call that means everything came back fine, so if they call that means a potential problem.

So, all that is enough drama going on in my life right now. We are suppose to be going to Souris to my aunt and uncle's for supper tonight and I am really looking forward to it. Their dd will be there with her two little ones and then my dad, and aunt, and another aunt and uncle should be there as well. Should be a good evening.

I have finished one more WW and am down to 2 left to go. One is for Rawley and I think I will cast it on first. Have a pair of socks on the go for me, but they have kind of taken a back burner. Also have the cotton shawl on the go for me and it too has taken the back burner. It is actually so far on the back burner I could not even remember what pattern I was using for it, but last night as I was watching tv all of a sudden it hit me which one it was. And just for something different I cast on some ladder yarn this morning. It is a bit difficult to work with but I am happy with the fabric I am getting.
