Things Are Finally Smoothing Out A Bit
05/28/09 10:13:57 | 0 What Say You?
In the run-up to my SIL's visit the Saturday after next, I've been cleaning house. I'm not a neat freak, but I have been spring cleaning. We live near a steel mill and so we have constant dust in the house. I love warm weather but also hate it, because with the windows open we get whatever is in the air from the mill and I have to dust constantly. I washed the upstairs hallway walls yesterday and was embarrassed at how dirty the water in the bucket was. So, I know that even though I... -
A Rough Time Coming Up
05/25/09 15:55:37 | 1 What Say You?
So...I haven't stitched a bit this week. Not much this month, in fact. Between visiting my dad and working on the house, mowing the lawn (big lawn) I've not had the interest in stitching. Doesn't mean I don't miss it though.
I'm not getting into a lot of details about my dad. He was in the hospital for a week a few weeks ago, and is now back in the nursing home. I still feel he won't go back to his assisted living apartment. There's just been so many changes... -
More stuff

I stitched a little bit on 'Growth Rings' (Ink Circles) this weekend only to discover I stitched in the wrong place and had to frog. Grrr! Did not stitch on Egypt as I just don't feel any mojo towards that one right now.
DH and I were treated to dinner yesterday (Mother's Day) by my oldest son. We went to a favorite mexican restaurant. Son is 26 and his girl is 18...boy I could really see the difference in maturity. Of course I should, but just saying. She couldn't... -
Not sure if I'll keep blogging here
05/06/09 06:39:06 | 0 What Say You?
Lately it seems that all I've been posting here is stuff about my dad and his trials in the nursing home. Boring stuff for anyone who takes the time to read this blog. I'm not stitching anything at the moment, just feel too busy from housework and seeing my dad to do any stitching. Just have no motivation.
So, I'm not sure I'll continue posting here. I'll think about it for a week or so and decide.
On the home front, I very much want to get new living room... -
What's been going on (Long Post)
04/28/09 15:00:29 | 0 What Say You?
Nothing major, but I know I haven't posted of late. I'm in a major funk, but can't seem to snap completely out of it. I do a little housework laundry, cooking etc., just enough to keep the house going and then I feel like I want to sleep. Depression? Maybe. But not sure what I'm depressed about. I'm still interested in MY interests, just not so interested in much else. And, no, I'm not talking about my marriage...that is the one anchor in my life.

Things Aren't Going So Great
04/17/09 08:11:57 | 1 What Say You?
I went to see my dad at the hospital last night. He had been in ICU because his blood pressure was very high. But, that had been resolved and he was moved to a regular room Wednesday morning. I didn't see my dad Wednesday, but I got a puzzling email from my brother who said my dad was 'still delusional.'
I thought, what the heck does that mean? He was fine when I saw him.
So, off to the hospital. Mike and I quickly found out what my brother meant.

Update

My dad had his neck surgery yesterday. His surgeon is the head of neurosurgery at the hospital, so my brother and I are reassured that he did a good job. However, when Mike and I left the hospital last night at 10:30 p.m. (since waiting from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. for my dad to go into surgery) my dad was having a tough time in recovery and he was being moved into ICU. We don't know for sure what the problem was, other than his age being a factor. But, we are hopeful for a good... -
Decision made, now the next steps
04/09/09 04:26:14 | 0 What Say You?
Well, we've decided to remodel the bedroom. That is, IF the out-of-pocket expenses for Mike's dental work isn't too much over a short period of time. If we can spread the dental work out, possibly even to have some of it done next year, we may be able to swing the remodel AND pay our property taxes, too. (Here in Michigan, we pay property taxes twice a year, summer and winter. The total tax bill for each residence is divided into two payments; but not equal ones...summer taxes are... -

I'm feeling better today. I haven't been working on Egypt or CDC but I've been looking at Lady Of The Mist for the last few days. I know I don't need to have this pattern, but I'm mesmerized by it. I saw LOTM a year or so ago, and thought it was nice, but now for some reason I'm very attracted to it. I love the Victorian feeling of... -
Not feeling much better, but...

I'm at least up and moving around a little. I have a feeling this weekend will be the second in a row I won't be able to visit my dad and take him out. On one hand, it's ok, because my brother can take my dad out for his errands, but on the other, I feel guilty for not seeing him. I have to be mindful of the fact my dad has surgery on April 13th, so obviously I don't want him sick. But, I'm not sure my dad understands this. He's forgetful and so I'm hoping that not...
