Midweek Randoms

Better late than never. I realize I never posted these last week, so I've just added to the list. =)

• Well last week was spring break. I don't work in a school so I didn't get the week off BUT I got two days off... which is two more than a lot of people so no complaints here!

• It was kind of a hectic week. I mentioned my grandpa had to go in for an emergency bypass that Monday night. Tuesday, I took off early and went up to the hospital. He was doing pretty good considering. They needed to do a triple bypass but were only able to complete a double. He was fairly alert, knew who I was, etc... it was good.

• Wednesday, I came back to work and then that night we went out to eat with Val, Cori, and Steve to Montana Mike's and then went and saw 21 Jump Street. It's one of those dumb comedies but I probably haven't laughed that hard since Bridesmaids. =) Hilarious. Then we got Braum's. Always a happy ending! Anyway, when I listened to my messages I learned that Grandpa had to be sedated and put back on ventilation. =( His breathing was real shallow, his kidney levels were elevated, he had fluid in his lungs (lots of it, too), and his heartbeat was irregular. I think he was pretty well sedated and on the tube until Friday if I'm remembering right.

• I spent the day up there Thursday then on Friday, Dac and I went up to the heart hospital for Grandma Jo's heart cath. It went really well!! No blockages and she got to home that day. Then, we headed over to see my Grandpa again. He was still sedated most of the time but they brought him out of it every now and then to ween him off. That was hard to watch. He was restless, a little confused, probably in pain... who wouldn't be?

• That night we met up with Val, Steve, Cori, and Charli again for supper at Texas Roadhouse. We were all pretty quiet - exhausted I think.

• On Saturday, I did some stuff around the house while Dac mowed our yard and the church's. Poor guy spent all day doing that stuff. My Dad and Aunt Diana came over for a visit and then we went to Pizza Hut for lunch. It was good to get to visit with both of them! That night is when we went to see Hunger Games. I liked it. I, of course, haven't read the books so I don't have those to compare it to. It was hard to watch at times but I thought it was really good otherwise. Braums after that too. =)

• Sunday, I rode up to the hospital with my parents. Stayed the majority of the day then came home. Grandpa wasn't doing real awful hot that day either.

• That brings us to Monday. I spent the day completely exhausted and barely functioning then had an eye appt. that afternoon... perfect peepers!! I probably won't need glasses until I'm in my 40's. Holla. Then Dac and I went on a walk to enjoy the weather.

• Tuesday was a work day from Hell. It was just one of those days where nothing seems to go right. We went on a walk that night which seemed to help.

• Wednesday I took off and went to Wichita with Val and Cori. I had to get some blood work ran... part of the monitoring process and Cori had a twinsies appt. =) Got to see those sweet girls again so that was fun. We ate lunch at Panera, shopped at Babies-R-Us, and got treats at Sugar Sisters Bakery downtown. We also stopped by to see my Grandpa that day. He had taken a major turn for the better and was in a regular room!! This was nothing short of miraculous. A complete 180. Awesome!

• Thursday we had Wii Night. We grilled hamburgers and I made some no bake cookies. I forgot how much I liked them. =) Just what I needed... a reminder. ha! We had fun. I think everyone was tired again though. We chatted about taxes and stuff like real grown ups but we ended the night watching Caillou with Charli. So it evened out. Also, Grandpa got to go home last night! =)

• We have our first session in months tomorrow! Kind of excited kind of nervous! =) It's been a great break but it'll be good to shoot again.

• I need new nail polish... something orange... I have my eye on this.

• Friday, I picked Charli up after work. After Dac got home we walked to the park for a while. On the way home, Charli bit it and ended up with scraped, bloody knees. =( Made me so sad. She was screaming bloody murder on the sidewalk a few blocks from our house. I kept telling her she was super tough and that seemed to help. We made it and she requested my Strawberry Shortcake bandaids. One knee needed a bigger bandaid so we just put Strawberry Shortcake on top of it. =) She wanted to rest after that so we just watched a movie and ate mac-n-cheese. I also painted her finger nails and took her home a few hours later. Fall aside, it was a fun play date!

• After that, Dac and I got ice cream and tried watching The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. What I saw of it, I liked (minus the graphic scenes) but of course I fell asleep. =( Fail. I'll have to watch it again before the 2nd one comes out.

• We didn't do a whole lot on Saturday. Stuff around the house mostly... then we had our first session of the year that evening. It went well. I felt rusty but got the hang of it. We got ice cream after that too. =) In case you had a doubt.

• We went to church Sunday morning then I went with Cori and Charli to the zoo that afternoon. It was a lot of fun. Call me 5 - but I love the zoo. =) It was a little toasty and I was still tired for some reason but I still loved it! Glad I invited myself to crash their party! haha.

• Monday, I stayed home sick from work. Had a really bad headache Sunday night that carried over with an upset stomach Monday. I ate lots of crackers and watched The Event on Netflix.

• Last night, we went to see Wrath of the Titans... NOT impressed. I really thought the preview looked kind of cool... at least the graphics, etc... but no. Not so much. Dac and Steve liked it I guess but we girls pretty much hated it.

• Criminal Minds is new tonight and I have a long-overdue date with Heather. Look out!! =)
