Day 195

Mom had surgery today.

I waited around in the morning for the phone call that she was heading home.

I went and rented a couple movies for the family to watch (trying to find one we would all enjoy is hard).

When I got home, I spent the day replacing ice packs, pushing pain meds on a reluctant patient (even though she was in pain), I helped her get her food, and I even helped her with the bathroom and getting dressed. It's hard not having both arms functional.

So, here's to the beginning of a few difficult weeks.

God bless!

Days 193 and 194

Day 193:
I took my brother home yesterday (and delivered the family laundry). Honestly, my days have been spent with limited to no human interaction.

Day 194:
Today I went over to Sara's house to sew and brought her a hot chocolate. After we were done with our sewing date, I ran by Mom's work to pick up a letter to be mailed and provided the stamp for it. It was a good day.

God Bless!

Day 192

I went and had lunch with a friend--it was good to catch up with her again.

Went home to pick up Josef for Bible Study and picked up some laundry to dry for Mom as well.

God Bless!

Days 190 and 191

Day 190:
We had a party for family and a few friends to celebrate the Fourth (on the third). It was a lot of fun, and meant a lot of prep work. I made another batch of cupcakes and cut up watermelon for Mom. I also went to the store and got some ice and water. It was a crazy day, but a lot of fun.

Day 191:
As a family we went to Seward to celebrate in Nebraska's Fourth of July City, which is always a treat. When we got home, I ran to the store for Mom (again) and got milk and butter. Another good day.

God Bless!

Day 189

Woo, what a day!

I took Mom to work this morning and went back to house sitting: picking up firework litter in the yard, mowing the lawn (and adapting to the in-town methods), and do some tidying up in the house as well.

(I fed the cats too.)

Picked Mom up from work and went to the store - it's going to be a crazy weekend. Got home-home and after eating a quick supper, I went to work on my cupcakes. Not going to lie, I'm pretty excited about these, and they'll be great for our party tomorrow night. Red Velvet and White Cake swirls with a cream cheese frosting that's been dyed blue. It's going to be wonderful and patriotic.

Our dryer at home is broken, so I've been toting loads of wet clothes to my cousins to dry... it's been a pain, to say the least. But otherwise my family would be running around nude, and that is not ideal. Ha.

God Bless!

Day 188

Well, today I picked my mom up from work and took her to the store.

And I chilled out with the family tonight. There was a lot of laughter.

Also, I gave my Daddy a hug before bed....and how I've missed those hugs....it's good to be home.

God Bless!

Day 187

I really didn't see anyone yesterday. I've kind of turned into a hermit.

I would have gone to the store with my mom, but I had just gotten food and so she took my brother.

I did continue to do house work here, and I made another bag.

God Bless!
