Re: Thread: Everyday Chatting & Waffling {2019} Let's get to know each other!
Well, what a busy week it has been. I posted about the awful day we had the day mum had her scan. I didn't think she would ever come home, but surprisingly, the results were clear and they released her on Saturday. I can't describe how lovely it is having her here. She sleeps a lot and she is very weak. They left the drain in her stomach, so I have to get her to a doctor to get it removed, which will be really difficult. She is terrified that she has to go back in the hospital to get it removed. I am trying to get an appointment scheduled to get it removed.
Between doctor appointments, blood tests, etc. I am exhausted.
BUT - I am so much more cheerful in spirits now we have her home
Saturday was also MOON DAY! We celebrate the landing of the moon every year and this year was the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing. We went to the Richard Nixon Library where they had a huge event around Apollo 11. We had to stand in line for 1 1/2 hours. Rand had to drop me off right at the door and I had to sit down a lot, but at least we got to see it all. The kids came over after and we celebrated in style. I had made a special shirt for my husband and we all had less elaborate Moon Day shirts. We even made one for the baby who is due in the next two weeks. I had also made him an 11x17 book of the transcript of the Apollo 11 flight from beginning to end. It was VERY exciting
I spend Sunday recovering from Moon Day, haha! (Not from alcohol or anything, just from fatigue.)
The cleaning lady came today. One of the beautiful women from the office paid for the cleaning lady for four hours. Bless her! My cleaning lady is a entertaining. She pays great attention to detail and does a lovely job, but she always manages to break something

I hesitate to request a different one from the agency because she is such a sweetheart. She recently battled breast cancer and is struggling in life but she has such a wonderful disposition. Hopefully my house will withstand her ministrations

Last time she broke a dish I keep my by sink so my mum doesn't have to carry tea bags to the rubbish. This time she managed to upset a shelf in the fridge and send the contents flying everywhere. Nothing actually broke, but it was a terrifying moment. Still, I think we will keep her. She needs us.
Today, my feet are up and I am in my pajamas at 2:45 in the afternoon.
