Well, not too much has happened ... life tends to go in little spurts of busy/ craziness and then there are times where you do nothing at all, maybe this is like the calm before the storm part!?
So, and update on FIL - his thumb isn't quite as bad as I had thought, I still haven't seen it or him (which is weird, we usually see the inlaws at least once a week). By the sounds of it, he didn't cut the much of his thumb off, it is at an angle so I think he still has about half his nail there (at an angle). But MIL was saying that the longer side of his thumb has turned black so that part will probably have to go. Hopefully that will be all that needs to go, worst case would probably be up to his knuckle right below the nail.
I try to go see my Dad at least twice a week now and every time I go he seems to be getting worse. He told me last week when I was there that his legs aren't working like they used to, which was happening before but now they are much worse. It makes me nervous to watch him walk, even if it's just 10 steps to the bathroom!? His voice is changing too, its getting harder to hear him and the words he says are a little jumbled like someone who is really sleepy. I was there last night and he barely talked at all, maybe his throat is sore!? He doesn't really talk to me about how he feels and his aches and pains. I think he tries to protect me.
I also went to see my Mom last night, she seems to be doing much better. They are letting her go home on weekends now if she wants. But I think she is still a little nervous about being at home with out the help of aids. She will probably be there for another month still.
There is a race this weekend and Jacob has to come out on Saturday and hang out with one of the girls. I kinda like when he is out there cause then after we are done working we can hang out together and sit by the fire. My only worry is that now it is getting cold out and I still need to go buy him some warm winter clothes. But at least we have the trailer there so if it gets too cold we will just go inside and watch movies or play games.
It was my birthday on Tuesday (the 14th), one of my girlfriends was going to a card workshop so I kinda invited myself! It was fun, we made four cards that I think turned out really nice. They are having a Christmas card workshop in Nov that I signed up for, we will make 15 cards and there will be door prizes - sounds like fun and a night out!! They also asked if I would be interested in a monthly workshop, where you commit yourself to going for 10 months (once a month) and you have to buy $20 in product. While you are there you get to make 4 cards and have a nice night out. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do this at first cause I probably don't really need more crafty stuff in my house but I liked the idea of a night out once a month. So I signed up!! We start the second Tues in Oct!! :)
On the diet front, there still is no progress, still no decisions. I feel like I keep making excuses, like maybe I should wait till after Oct cause in Oct I have a scrapbook retreat to go to and the race track banquet. And then I think ... well maybe I should wait till the new year then, cause there is Christmas and New Years!? But then I shake my head and think ... there is ALWAYS going to be events, temptations and challenges!?! There really is no "good" time to start a diet and why put it off!? I worry that when my Dad passes I will turn to food for comfort so then I think I should start to learn now how to eat and be healthy then I wont be tempted so much to turn to the "bad" foods!? Hubby is trying to support me, he said I need to do what I did last time and go for walks every night but then I tell him its not that easy cause I can't take Jacob on my walks, he doesn't like it and it makes for a bad time. So that means that hubby has to be home so I can go out but he isn't always home every night!? I feel like I make a lot of excuses and I just need to do it! I am getting very lazy!! :( I need to call and make a appointment with the IP clinic on the south side and learn more, make my decision and DO IT!!!
