better Dad is looking better each time I see him. The surgeon told him today that he is healing nicely and doesn't need to come back. The antibiotics have helped, and his lungs are starting to sound better. The fluid is down in his legs and feet, though the feet are still pretty swollen. He's getting around more and more, and can finally do his breathing exercises like he did prior to the surgery. He still has a long way to go, but he's doing so much better. It's been a very long month. It's hard to believe that in a few days, this will have been going on for a month. My mom's birthday was last week, so Artboy and I went over on Friday to drop off her gift, bring her some tiramisu and sing her happy birthday. I had planned on going to see her on her birthday, but I only received 1 hour of sleep the night before, and I was toast. I got her a set of 36 Copic markers. It was more than I had wanted to spend, but I couldn't think of anything else, hadn't bought her anything for mother's day...and they didn't have the two sets of 12 markers. Artboy took me to see the new SatC movie. I purposely did not have any expectations about the movie..I told myself I would just be happy about seeing the girls again. But it started out really slow, and then I wasn't happy with the ending. It was nice to see it. The girls and I had planned on going to see it together, but MIchelle's husband didn't like the idea of Jess, Michelle and I going "by ourselves," and he insisted that we make it a date with the guys too. He has trust issues...but to her, she believes he trusts HER...it's just everyone else he doesn't trust. I don't mention to her that if he trusted her, it wouldn't matter what others did. I made a wonderful Parmesan herb tillapia this weekend. Artboy had said he was going to make the fish on Saturday, but at 8pm, he came up for air from his City of Heroes game, grabbed some food for himself...and went back to it. So I made my own fish, and it was mighty tasty and super easy. I was so proud of myself I made him taste a bite to see what he had missed. :) I've decided that after 7 years of saying I am going to tint my windows, I'm actually going to do it this year. The heat is killer, and I'm already having a tough time accepting that I'm spending yet another year here in hell. The least I can do for myself is tint the windows so the car won't feel like a freakin oven when I get in it. Now I just have to find a highly recommended place. *yawn* |
