What Vacation?

Hubby and I took a four day weekend so we could relax and actually spend time together. Unfortunately, life decided we weren't allowed to relax. I began my weekend with an emotional phone call with Mich, which was hard because I had felt beaten up by a phone call with my mother where I apparently am not supposed to care as much as I do. So I feared a similar smack down from Mich, which I did not receive, but there was lots of crying involved. This was followed by a call from my mother who was diagnosed with glaucoma. I am trying to be positive that the drops have shown a slight improvement, but the dilemma is my mother only has one strong eye, so any loss of vision in that eye is not good.

Hubby arrived home and I was already wiped out. I slept most of Thursday and woke to discover our laptop was dead. Have I mentioned hubby has an issue with parting with money? I though nothing of buying a new laptop, but hubby spent the entire weekend recovering our operating system. So far it appears hubby might have beaten the technology mayhem as the OS is currently working at the moment. We are still discussing buying a new computer since we question how long the OS will work.

B had another trip to the vet where we were informed that yes, his tumor has grown back. The next procedure they will do is remove the gland, which is part of his eyelid and then sew his lid back together. Thanks to all that stitching along the lid, it will be a 12 day recovery in which B has to wear a cone in order to not touch the stitching. This led to all kinds of issues for us, including money and time. Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to give anything to get him better but it was hard trying to plan it out along with dealing with my emotions over him having another surgery.

The bright light of the weekend was game night. I had such a wonderful time with an amazing group of ladies. There was way too much chocolate and way too much laughter. I have to state I am sorry if I offended anyone with my raunchy comments, but it was all in good fun. I ended my weekend by walking to the fitness center to "save" Becky from some deranged woman who kept banging on the door. By the time I got there, the woman had disappeared, which was disappointing. I was kind of hoping to vent some of my frustration. So another relaxing weekend to prepare me for my crazy week.

When is B's surgury scheduled?

Game Night was such fun! I appreciate the surveillance of the area surrounding the fitness center plus the escorted walk home!

If only the exit door had a large window so we could see anyone lying in wait . . .
