I've been up since 5. I do want to sleep in in the mornings but I love a quiet house more. I don't know what we'll do today. I have a tie dye kit that I haven't opened yet. That might be fun if the weather cooperates.

Thanks girls! My sister just got a call! They’re done and it went well, they’ve repaired one valve and ‘fixed’ the other. My sister wanted to kill him however because before he told her how it went he kept on commenting how good her Norwegian was and asking where she learned that 😂. BIL is in the ICU and we don’t know if/when my sister can see him. But we’re so relieved. There’s a long road ahead, but this was the first hurdle.
We went to a fruit orchard to kill time. We got a lot of red currants and dd and I made jam, never did that, so we’ll see how it turned out. I realised that exactly a year ago we went there too and sort of recreated the picture we took then. Poof

I ended up taking the day off today. I had a rougher evening than I expected without the kids. I'm just going to relax, finish my kitchen clean out and make a trader Joe's run. I'm trying to decide if I should make a good dinner tonight or get takeout...

Good for you for taking the day off, spoil yourselves, bring out the wine and get some food that too fancy for kids. Wish we could all come over and sit with you, hugs lady.

I can't recall how much I've updated y'all on my parents. They did decide to move closer to my sister, praise be, and we found an assisted living place for them. It took awhile to convince them they needed assisted living and not independent living. We are putting their house up for sale and the agent went to their house yesterday to take pictures. Next weekend will be their open house. apparently where they live they have everything listed on their website for 2 weeks and only do showings one weekend. We're hoping to get an offer and choose the buyer the 16th.
If all goes well, I'll need to fly to their house and get rid of shit. My sister wants to have an estate sale since they won't be able to take the majority of their stuff to OK. I'm trying to coordinate it for when my half sister will be there visiting them. That way we have more helpful hands.
We're also trying to plan things out around their doctor appts. They think my dad might have cancer somewhere else in his body and have scheduled several scans over the next month. He won't see the oncologist until Sept 14 though. Not sure what we'll do if they have to be out of the house before then.
This is all very overwhelming.

I hope he doesn’t have cancer anywhere else. I’m glad y’all have a plan, but I get that it’s so overwhelming. Let us know if there is anything we can do.

tgrimes I’m sorry about your dad, cancer is horrible. the assisted living situation sounds good. Glad they made that decision. But I can only imagine that everything plus selling the house and it’s contents is very overwhelming, it is a lot.

wineallthetime I'm sorry it was a rough night. I definitely would get some decadent takeout and relax and try to enjoy a quiet meal. I know you are close to your sisters, do you think maybe one of them can come over to hang out with you for a bit? nam2013, glad your BIL is out of surgery and it went well. And those are great pictures. I can't believe how much your DS grew in the past year!!!

tgrimes I hope they don't find any more cancer, and I'm glad they finally agreed to move. It's a lot to deal with now, but I am sure it's a relief that they will be out of the house and near your sister.

nam2013 yay! I hope he has a smooth recovery. What a difference a year makes! The kids grew so much. wineallthetime sorry for the rough night. Definitely get take out. Whatever can make the evening a bit easier. tgrimes I'm glad they decided to move. It is a lot of work though. Trying to organize a move from a different state is a nightmare. Good luck and try to keep in mind during the craziness that in the end it will all be worth it since your parents will be in good hands. I'm so sorry about your dad. I hope they get to the bottom of it soon.

Hello.
Another slow day here. The hospital is on diversion which means we’re full and anything other than trauma gets routed to a different hospital, so we’re slow.
My manager said as of yesterday there were 22 covid patients in the hospital; 20 of those are under 30, not vaccinated, and 9 of those 20 are on a vent. It’s sad only because them being here was so preventable. Just get the damn shot people.

I'm so sorry for the potential of more cancer tgrimes. It's so stressful closing up houses and all that comes with it but it will be easier once they are near her. I hope it goes smoothly.

I'm finishing up some work before going to deposit my guys payroll and go to my 3 month check up post surgery. Then I have to go to the school for some PTO business. Then we are going out of town until Saturday. I wish we had left in the morning but A was determined to leave today so I'm stressing to get work done, everyone packed, house cleaned up and make all my appointments.

tgrimes I'm glad your parents made the difficult choice to move to OK. I can't imagine trying to clean out my parents house and prepare it for selling. On top of your dads health issues. That sucks he has to wait a month to be into the oncologist. When it rains, it pours.

Thanks for all the support, everyone. My sisters, mom, friends will come over/go out with me the second I ask. I'm just feeling like being alone. I just got Chinese for lunch, poured a glass of wine and turned on Virgin River.
