\"Quickie\"
Just jumping in here to let everyone know I am alive and haven't abandoned Diaryland... just seem to be so busy I can never find the time to update.
I only have a little bit of time so will just jot a few things...
Daddy II is getting better... it is slow, but seems positive from what I hear. He is still in the hospital, being fed intervenously, but is also eating meals. They are getting him up walking, last I heard with a walker, and getting him to the gym for excercise. I understand he's been still very tired & sleeping a lot & was quite confused/disoriented I guess but it seems he's still got his sense of humour. Grace has recently said though he is getting cranky & wants to go home... who wouldn't, but I hope they can keep him as long as possible where we know he is going to get the best treatment & chances of him getting a lot better are much higher being there I am sure rather than being home just yet. I was given a phone number yesterday - he now has a phone in his room. I want to call him... strangely though, I feel weird... after all of this I don't know what to say... I know he wouldn't want me all mushy, but I don't know how appropriate it is to talk silly like we normally do... and I'd like to talk somewhat seriously with him, but I think that should wait...
I think about him everyday but haven't been calling everyday as I don't want to be bugging Grace all the time, I am sure she doesn't want to be on the phone aqll the time telling everyone daily updates. I get info by email a few times a week and that's probably best... I am trying to not concentrate solely on that anymore... I was getting depressed.
I have been putting in a lot of extra hours at work, trying to make some extra cash. So I don't have near as much time at home - it is getting pretty backed up with the mess again and we all know what that does to my mood too... so I've kind of been avoiding it... sad but true. We just seem to find something else to do or somewhere else to be each night to get out of there & relax after a hard day's work. But we need to smarten up. hank has been putting in work on the ceiling, but it's quite a road ahead, and there's still so much yet to do. We have a bank appointment on Friday to get pre-approved for a mortgage to see what we will qulaify for when looking for our new home. We decided it's best to buy one first before selling this one so we don't end up stuck in bidding wars and don't get a place and end up homeless. Plus, I have the first week of June off - if we could get possession of a new place for then it would be great to be able to paint & move & do whatever we want to over that week before moving in & have the luxury of not having to get everything in there as fast as getting everything out of our plasce. Once we're all out of the old house then we'll have more time & space (& pressure/incentive) to get the rest of it done & sold.
I wanted to talk more... but I have to run...
I'll try to be back soon!
Cheers.
