Thank you all for the well wishes for Seniors dad. Unfortunately his blood platelets were too high and they could not do the surgery. So we are on hold right now. Not sure when the operation will take place , or when Senior will be home. I miss him. : (
My sister said the Dr's. may want to wait another week to see if the platelet count goes up.
So that is the update, and that is where we stand.
The weather has again turned gloomy. The sun promises to return by Thanksgiving. One can only hope.
Today I worked more on the large mulch job for one of our communities. I loaded, poured, and spread 28 bags of red Cyprus mulch. Mostly around the trees by a retention pond. As I was working my way down the tree line it occurred to me that I was soon to run out...I got (at that time) 22 bags, I began counting...the helper person shorted me.. I took my handy receipt and went back..they were nice and told me to take the missing bags, plus I needed even more bags. I hate it when I either leave shopping bags in a store, or I get shorted by the person loading my truck up.
Then I came home, cranked up Seniors commercial hedge trimmers and trimmed our hedges, then I cranked up one of the blowers that always gives me a hard time and blew the debris off the driveway and walk way. Normally I end up flooding them out. But today I got them both on the first pull: "I AM WOMAN ...HEAR ME ROAR"! I felt so darn accomplished.
My neighbor across the street was leaving, she came over to chat for a few minutes. Depression set in when she told me she and her husband had signed a contract to have a new home built. : ( She is a good friend and you don't always get lucky with neighbors that are like family. In 6 months they will be going. : (
Today I got the surprise that school is closed on Wednesday. So I called the Parents.. " Want the boys to spend the night" ? they were all to ready to have them stay over. I need the time to clean house for Thanksgiving. Sunday I tried and every 15 minutes it was either a fight, or someone wanted something. and that was with a movie on. Besides, I could use the break. Movie and popcorn here I come.
Off Blogger for now, time to go start dinner, and await more news from Senior..
Wow you have alot to keep you busy.... too busy.
ReplyDeleteHope things work out with paw-in-law.
Yea I do try to stay busy. Just trying to finish up this mulch job from he&&
Deletewe still have 2 more areas to do, but those are in the back area of the community and can wait.
Then I have to clean out our camper, because my brother and his G/F are coming for T-give and staying in it.
The schools here are out for the entire week.
ReplyDeleteHope things are resolved soon with Seniors Dad. Is he planning on staying for the week or be back home for Thanksgiving?
our school district is not that magnamimous yet. but due to budget conerns I bet its coming soon.
Deletecurrently if there is no surgery My love will be home. Just going to depend on what the Dr.s want to do next. Its a small town in SC, so I bet they will resked for next week.
wow Gurlie...i am so sorry to hear about Senior's Dad...and you know that we are praying for him! and praying that Senior can come home soon. i am sorry that Senior is gone and that you are doing all of the work yourself...but gurl, i know that you can do it - you can do anything! i loved seeing the pic of you on Senior's blog...i was screeching to jambaloney - "look - it's Jacked Up Glock Mom". jambaloney was excited...but not as excited as me - bahahahahah! i have caught up on all of your other posts - we lost our internet for the last several days. but we are just glad to have internet out here in the middle of nowhere. you keep on keepin on gurlie...and know that when we have our Thanksgiving meal on thursday...that we will spend a long time giving thanks for friends. and you and Senior will be high on the list. you have been a great friend to me...and i treasure that!
ReplyDeleteyour friend,
kymber
OMG! you had to mention that picture..ironically I was wearing my "Glock Girl" tshirt.. The mulch wasn't bad. I was more upset that the kid jipped me a few bags and I had to go back to claim them.
DeleteSenior is hopefully coming home tomorrow. Which means he wants his boys home, which means they will be here driving me nuts on wednesday while I try to clean house.
The Dr. is putting off the surgery for a little bit, until they can get his dads platelets back up.
We too will be thinking of good friends like all of you on thanksgiving..your a really buddy of mine too. and yes it is a treasure.
Sorry to hear that, and sorry I haven't linked you... Now fixed... sigh
ReplyDeleteThanks! I do appreciate it. Hopefully he will be home tomorrow.
Delete'm sorry to hear that he wasn't able to have his surgery today. Hopefully he will soon and have an uneventful recovery so Senior can get back home.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking in at least another 1-2 weeks. Senior is suppose to head home in the morning after he talks with the Doctor.
DeleteYeesh I wrote that like an hour ago and forgot to hit publish lol
ReplyDeleteIve done that myself a time or two.. : )
DeleteSorry about your neighbor leaving; it is always hard when friends like that move away. Hoping your hubby will be able to come home tomorrow!
ReplyDeletebetty
You are keeping busy! Glad your man will be home soon, but sorry to hear things didn't work out for your father-n-law.
ReplyDeleteThe camper sounds like a great plan for company. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Marie
Thanks for the update. IV been wondering about him.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the neighbors moving. It's tough to wonder who will move in. Fingers crossed it is some nice and that the move doesn't impede on your friendship.
