Oops!

Couldn't go to the Monrovia football game last night because getting the dog out of her vet appointment took too long.  (Vet = infected ears = bad doggy smell = $300.)   So we had supper and went shopping for warmer clothes for the children.  They've pretty much outgrown the stuff from last winter.  Shopping with them is always an adventure!  We went to Metropolis.  Blah!  It was pretty chilly out.  The kids were in shirtsleeves.  The fountain that we went to see sprayed them, and the ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery made us all cold.  Home sure looked good after that!

The children went to their other grandparents' this morning, to go this evening to be with their daddy.  It's quiet here right now.

I have done laundry all day--except for escorting the dog to the groomer--but you can't tell I've done anything!  K9PZ's wife, Joann, shopped for winter clothes for my grandkids at her church's rummage sale.  We drove to Brownsburg to pick up the goods.  In a word, she "done good"!  The kids are well stocked now!  The only issue at hand is finding places to put everything! 

Meg and I talked a bit this evening about the health issue I had.  I was curious how she got the word out to folks about my situation because it seemed that I came home to everyone knowing and wanting to help.  She said something like, "You don't have a clue...."....and she is right.  The seriousness of what happened to me has never really hit.  My mind has a way of shutting down and moving to another place when things get tough.  Meg and my sister suffered the most.  I was simply at the mercy of the medical system.  At that point, my brain shifted into survival mode.  I'm glad it is behind us, but I wonder what is next!

I need to keep plugging on the condition of the house.  Maybe sometime tomorrow it will seem okay enough to live in!
