So, Easter...
Spent all of Easter at my moms. Oh yes. And did things ever happen...
Lets start with Wednesday... late. My brother called and told us that I had become an aunt! Again! Wednesday afternoon/evening his son was born, so now he has two kids, a girl and a boy. :-D I am so proud of him! The little one is still... very, very little, and since the pregnancy has been very long, his fiancée is very tired, so haven't meet the little one yet. :-) I hope I can soon though.
Next comes Thursday... Maundy Thursday even.
My cousin had his birthday bash then, so me and peting73 went straight from home there, meeting up with mom and everyone. Lots of fun was had, of course. And quite a bit of oh and ah over our engagement rings... As was expected. I had a lot of fun, of course. I always love meeting my extended family, huge as it may be. Lots unhealthy food was eaten, something that was a running theme entire easter... (Gah! Carbs everywhere!) Gladly my cousin was happy with the gift I got him (thanx for your help, spicehobbit!), so all ended well.
Onwards to Friday.... Good Friday.
Or... More like the night between Thursday and Friday. After the birthday party we all went to bed and... tried falling to sleep. Tried being the keyword here. I couldn't. Why? 'Cause I couldn't breath properly! I coughed and wheezed and... Sounded like an old tractor that didn't get any fuel, kinda. I tried sleeping and relaxing for an hour, keeping peting73 and mom awake in the process... Finally I came to the conclusion that I need to go to the emergency ward. So, peting73 took me there. Where we spent between 1am to 7am... They took a shitload of tests and gave me extra oxygen, of wish one of the tests came back looking not so good, according to the doctor there. They suspected I had a embolism in my lung... O.O So, they kept me in the hospital for more tests and xray of the lungs. Gladly it turned out to be nothing, but dammit, that was scary!
Back to mom we took it easy for the rest of the Friday, since none of us really got any sleep during the night. We just helped her fix a bit around the house. Nothing heavy.
Then came Saturday... Easter Eve.
We were invited to a nice Easter dinner at... lets see... The parents of my brothers fiancée.... My brothers in laws... You get what I mean, I hope? Anyway, things have been a bit... tense between mom and her mom, so I was very happy when she had invited mom and they could sit and talk and... well, be nice to each other. :-) That made me happy. It was a bit stiff a dinner, but still nice... If that made sense. They are farmers to, so they had gathered a huge pile of sticks, wood and stuff that were burned in the traditional Easter fire. :-) Was nice.
And so Sunday... Easter Sunday.
Moms birthday, no less. :-) Of course, it was all about moms birthday, although we had time to clean our car in the morning to (much needed that...). Me and peting73 helped her a lot of course. Her knees are totally busted, sadly, and she is not as mobile as she used to. Things take time. So, she commandeered me and peting73 to fix things around the house for her. Cakes, cookies, and all the trimmings. :-) I didn't mind much. I like fixing up stuff for parties and what not. Many of my big extended family came, of course. More oh and ah over our rings (when will that end, I wonder?). What really brightened my mom, was that my brother and his daughter came over. She didn't think they would, considering the baby-boy was so little still. But they did. That made her really happy. Me, peting73 and my brother and his family had decided to buy mom a SodaStream (SodaStream in the US), something she had wished for, so that was a success! :-D A wonderful birthday bash all in all. We were all totally beat when we went to bed that night.
That brings us lastly to Monday... Easter Monday.
Were spent tidying up after moms birthday bash. Not much that needed doing, gladly, but some. Then we more or less just sat around, talked and played cards... Was nice. :-) (Although I lost constantly since both mom and peting73 are much better then me...) Until dinner, then after dinner we went home.
Can you tell me and peting73 are totally beat now? X-D It has been a busy busy Easter... But good to. I hope everyone else had an awesome Easter as well!
Or as we say here in Sweden:
GLAD PÅSK!
