If we were having coffee, you would be visiting me at the hospital where I was admitted on Thursday after being referred here by the clinic. Big sigh. I don’t like being here. I will be writing a separate blog post explaining what is going on, after I’m done with this post. Kind of as an escape for just a little bit.
I’ve had a bad couple of weeks. No coffee share last week because of that. I’ll be going home for a few days, hopefully leaving today. During the week I have some medical things to prepare for and will be helping with my grandson’s birthday party next weekend. And Easter Sunday. Spencer will be 2. He’s a handful. Last night I got a text message from my daughter saying he had dumped his cereal bowl over on to the floor and then ate it all of the floor. He thinks he’s a cat. I’m normally the one with the boys all day or at least for a few hours I’m her days off. Now that I’m sick, she’s seeing the monster side of Spencer a lot more. I will still be happy to seed my boys whenever I get home.
My youngest daughter is coming from California for a few days. I’m hoping I’ll be able to enjoy her visit. She is extending her stay so she can be here in Portland for my surgery on the 9th. My son is in Japan, working, for three months. He just got there on Monday. With a little help from any powers in the cosmos, we won’t need to call him home early.
I hate to cut it short but the blessed nurse just walked in with the first cup of coffee I’ve had since last Tuesday so my attention is gone. Plus, I’m writing this on a tablet and is so mensch more difficult and slow that way. Until next time, see ya. Have a great week. And if you’re interested, Come back in a couple off hours and read about my medical journey thus far, if only because I think there are lessons to be learned.
The weekend coffee share is a weekly blog link up run by Diana at Part Time Monster. You can join in the fun by writing a post and visiting her blog and linking your blog post in the Linky. Not sure how? Just ask. We’re a very friendly group!
God love you, you poor thing. I so wish I could personally visit you in the hospital. Even though we have only just met through the blogs, you are still a friend. I really hope things get better soon!

Sorry to hear that you’re ill!
I am glad you’ve got much your family around, though, even though your son is far away.
Little Jedi’s birthday is this weekend, too. It’s generally right on or around Easter.

I have never figured out Skype but I gave soon for my son because he only has data capability in Japan, not voice. So if I figure it out, maybe we can get on Skype.

Oops, that ended up on the wrong comment and I can’t figure out how to fix it on the phone!

Diana, I’m sure Little Jedi will love his party! I always went all out for my kids and if anyone was disappointed, it was me because I always wanted to have done better. But in the end, the kids just love the effort, attention, and wildness. I’m sure he will love it!

🙂 Thanks! And I’m sure you’re right. As long as he gets to play with some other kids and gets some cake, he’ll be happy.

So glad you’ll have both of your daughters there, Corina. Sounds like you’ve got a lot coming up before the surgery. Try to take it easy, and rest up for your surgery. *Hugs* Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. And I hope that was a great cup of coffee! You deserve it.

Robin, coffee was great. I sat in the regular chair to enjoy it but then my uncle started a FB convo. That took ten minutes. Now I’m exhausted and my back hurts. Back to bed.

I’m sorry you’re in the hospital. I hope nothing too serious. Good luck with your surgery if I don’t “speak” to you before the 9th. Good your daughters will be able to be there with you.

Being in the hospital is bad enough, but being without coffee is just adding insult to injury. But at least your grandson is a cat. That’s pretty impressive. Let your family care for you, and be kind to yourself. We’re all thinking of you.

Hope that Spencer keeps his eyes on the cats, and learns all the positive things there are to learn from them. And yes, it is quite a bit harder to write on a tablet than it is on a regular computer. But after a while, we get used to it. I thought I would never get used to it when I first tried to use a tablet. Now I can say there are even some advantages in certain situations. Waiting to hear more about your situation, and sending you my best wishes.

Oof, sending you healing thoughts. If we were having coffee I would happily follow the conversation wherever you would like to take it, I can’t imagine that sitting in the hospital is what you want to dwell on, so tell me more about the grandson/cat 🙂 What are the birthday plans?

I’m not sure what my daughter has planned for Spencer’s second birthday. My medical issues have her taking time off from work to stay home with the boys because I am not up to full time care of the two boys. So I think that means she’ll be able to do a lot of the stuff herself. I think for the Easter stuff (I’m the one that fills baskets) I may just give her a list of ideas and some cash and let her to the shopping. That takes care of any issues over me buying something they didn’t want me to get for the boys (it happens) and I won’t have to go through rude crowds when I’m not feeling my best and am trying to stay healthy til my surgery.
We usually have an egg hunt (plastic goodie filled eggs) indoors when the kids get up (or when we’re ready to do it). They love it every year. Then they spend the day playing with their goodies and having their treats. We just put the healthier stuff in their eggs and baskets and they can have at it at will. The chocolates anything sugary is put away to be doled out throughout the day and the week following. So we’ll see. Every year is different. This year my youngest daughter will be visiting so I might try to prepare a mini Easter basket for her. She’s 24 so easier to deal with than a 2 and 5 year old! Dinner out. Not sure where. We’ll have to decide very soon so we get reservations. And if all else fails we can fix something at home but we’ll have to have some kind of plan in the next day or so.
Thank you for asking. One day we’ll have to get together.
