Rainy weather here in the South. (60 degrees here,
Twins, high predicted 65.)
It was only sprinkling when I went out to the post office, but dh said some of the tv reports last night were calling for up to 3" later this evening.
I definitely feel for y'all who are still facing snow plows! Brrrr...
Pretty sure there will be no baseball practice.
That is definitely a good thing -- dgs is still having episodes of throwing up, just at random times. He said he felt a little nauseous yesterday before practice. He ate a piece of chocolate pie about an hour before practice started, and all they did at practice was fielding, for the most part. He was just standing in his spot in the outfield, taking turns catching fly balls. Later they ran bases -- and he ASKED the coach if he could run -- so he was feeling well enough at the time to do that -- but I don't know if he started throwing up before the running or after.
At any rate, he never quit or sat down, and we haven't heard anything from ds today, so maybe he's making it okay at school.
LadyM &
Rose -- continuing to send "feel better soon" wishes.
WTG on the s2s, etc,
LadyM! That always helps after I've been feeling bad.
Glad your back is better,
Twins.
And WOW --
Mr. Blessed is driving? That IS a blessing! Sooo happy to hear things are going more smoothly in your household,
blessed!
And (((
CATHY))) -- yes, to
LadyM's post -- don't feel you need to stay away
from us, no matter what's going on. In my experience, this is the ONE place I can always feel free to talk out whatever is on my mind, no matter how I'm feeling. I know if my posts are too long or too depressing, others can just scroll right on past... but I also know that someone is going to reach out and give me the encouragement and reassurance I need when I post here in our little village.
There's certainly no progress here,
blessed.
I really have no excuse -- I am apparently just giving myself this week to grieve the loss of daunt and try to rest and recuperate. I really was not needed that much -- a couple hours Sunday afternoon and then from 10-4 on Wednesday with the funeral (visitation through the time we got home from the meal at their church.)
I haven't talked to duncle since the funeral. Dmom said he never said anything to her Wednesday and she's not 100% sure he even recognized her. It has probably been several months since he saw her face-to-face.
You know, I am encouraging myself with the thought that, by taking daunt first, God has spared her the bad times that may be ahead for duncle. She had to watch her mother suffer through Alzheimer's; perhaps God just didn't want her to have to be the caregiver another time for someone she loved. And despite everything, she did still love duncle. I just pray that somehow, my other daunt and dcousins * and maybe his doctor! * can convince duncle that it is time to look into assisted living.
Good for you on re-setting your bio-clock,
Nancy! I just wonder how long (and WHEN) I would sleep if I lived alone. Today, I would probably still be lying in bed scrolling on my phone...
I did get up and go to the post office for dh and picked up some hamburgers for him at the little greasy spoon he loves so much. (He is NOT the only one -- they were PACKED. I had to wait a long while, but one of dh's good friends was there and we caught up on everything while we waited. This man is married to a lady who's family was just like family to me growing up, and I taught all of their children, so we had plenty to talk about. He is one of the men who came over to dh's surgery and arrived at the hospital before surgery was cancelled.)
That's too bad about your dgs' appt being cancelled,
Harriet. So frustrating. I hope he gets it rescheduled soon.
I think we are all eating supper together -- ds/family are coming over here to eat take-out plates sold by the football program at the high school. DGS was selling these plates for the Junior High team. They have not started their spring practice yet... I just can't believe dgs is this age (and I do wonder how it's going to go when they start practicing. DGS has never been involved in a "contact" sport before.
DS is on the phone right now -- they're talking sports, of course. It's some kind of "madness" around here every month, LOL.
