More good than bad, finally
The annoying: Grandma still in hospital. She obviously needed to be there, as in the first 24 hours she lost 9 POUNDS of fluid that had built up in her lower body. I cannot imagine what a relief that must be. We went to visit her on Saturday evening and she was in pretty good spirits. We wheeled her around the floor and waved at the nurses every time we went by. She was actually nice to both of us. I’m not counting on it continuing, but it was pretty cool.
The good: My dad is here! Which means my mom is at the hotel with him and not living in my house anymore! And she is definitely going home on Friday with him, unless my grandma takes a major turn for the worse, which at the moment doesn’t look imminent. Chris and I have the house back to ourselves, and we are just reveling in it. It’s so quiet. The TV stays off unless we want it on. We don’t have to talk to each other or wear decent clothes or consider anyone else’s feelings/sleep time/dinner preferences. It is AWESOME.
Fun things we did this weekend: Went out for dinner with my friend L and her boyfriend. We ate delicious charcuterie and drank good wine and had a lovely conversation.
We also went out for brunch with my family on Sunday, at our favourite brunch place, and it was delicious.
I bought us tickets to see Luke Doucet play in Montreal next month. He’s coming here too, but we thought a mini-road trip was in order, so we’ll drive down after work on the Friday, get a hotel, have dinner, catch the show, crash, then maybe wander the used CD stores a bit on Saturday before we come home.
Fun things coming up: My birthday is this Friday, and we are going out for dinner, then using my FREE night at the swanky downtown hotel, then on Saturday I have a massage and then P squared are coming over for dinner and cupcakes. I am psyched.
