  • Getting Back Into the Swing of Things

    I'm off to the chemo room, again, to get another IV of saline - just to be on the safe side.  My stomach has had some digestive upsets all week, so I'm thinking the saline is a good idea.  I've already dusted the den and put away the large dishes that were drip drying on a towel on the kitchen bar. 

    I did a few things around the house yesterday - loaded and ran the dishwasher and washed the big things by hand, cleaned the kitchen sink with Comet, cleaned up the den's floor (birthday party "droppings"), and played a new board game Luci got for her birthday - a 10 Commandment game - with my 3 girls.  It was fun.  When it was time for my bath, last night, I cleaned out the tub with some Comet.  I'm doing okay with those kinds of chores and breathers (rest) in between. 

    We need to put our dog Sampson to sleep.  It was supposed to happen yesterday, but due to circumstances, it didn't.  Then we thought of doing it today, but it may be too much to squeeze in this morning.  So.....  it will be soon.  He's passing small amounts of blood and vomiting small amounts of blood and stays in his bed area a lot.  OR, he wanders around the house (and then has accidents).  I think he's worn out and old.  Nikki was 4 or 5 when she got him and she'll be 23yo in October.  He's VERY old. 

    So that's the agenda for today.  Me to get fluids, the girls to their therapy session, and then back home.  Jesse will have to work all weekend.  He and a friend are installing a new fence for a customer of Jesse's.  VERRR-RRRRRRY interesting! 

    Be Blessed  ~

  • Sorry about your tummy upsets. Hope things settle down. Poor old Sampson. He's had a nice long run, though. I'm glad you have felt like doing a few things. Be well, my friend.

  • So sorry to hear about Samson...that's always sad. We do love our pet's.

    Sounds like you're up and about pretty good. Hope it continues and the saline helps the tummy. Take care, with prayers and hugs~Dawne

  • Sorry to hear about Samson, and I'm praying that you are feeling better now. You mentioned playing the board game with your girls -- I love that my 16 and 18 year old sons still play board games with me (though our last game of "Scrabble" did get a bit ugly so we played "Sorry" most recently as it's based more on luck than intellect :)   ). Blessings to you today!
