It's beautiful here today, so I forsee a nice long walk later. Tonight we're going to Costco with my mom and sister.
My cousin went in for a (second!) gallbladder surgery over the weekend, and something went wrong. I still don't have all the details, but her blood pressure tanked and she had to be airlifted to a better hospital. She was doing a little better yesterday, but today they did a procedure that worked well, but left internal bleeding. If it doesn't stop, they'll have to do additional surgery, but they don't think she's strong enough for it. She's only 22. If anyone has T&Ps to spare, I'd really appreciate it.
Praying for your cousin katiek. Hope she recovers soon!
Was finally able to talk to MIL and grandma last night. My goodness I can't believe all she went through he took her money and jewelry, including her wedding ring (hrr DH died 8 years ago and I know that has to be breaking her heart...they were married for 62 years). He was in a hurry because he asked if she lived alone...she said yes but that her kids would be there any minute. Before he left she asked him not to hurt her (told him she's 88 yrs old)...he punched her in the chest, knocking her out. She was examined and no broken bones but having a hard time taking a deep breath. Oh, and he also pushed her on the bed and sat on top.of her with a gun pointed at her, demanding her earrings.
Good news is she no longer wants to live alone (good in that it won't be a fight...sucks that this a-hole has stolen her independence and she won't be living in her home where her and her DH had years of memories). My heart is still breaking for her.
It's nicer out today so we'll go for a walk. DH has a long work day so I am by myself til bedtime (which is practically my bedtime too).
Baby must have brought spring with her. It's gorgeous and all the windows are open! We're just trying to settle on a middle name before we formally announce her arrival. You'd think 10 months would be enough time, but suddenly we don't like anything on the short list and are starting over. Lame.
luv2rn4fun: I hate knowing that there are people in this world like that. It's monstrous.
She's in my thoughts & prayers katiek. I hope they'll be able to figure it out soon.
My Mom's cousin committed suicide late last week. From what I've been told, she lost her battle with mental illness. If I could add to your T&Ps, her family is taking it very hard.
amaranth- enjoy your sweet little girl and the beautiful weather! We will likely have the same problem if this baby is a boy. With C we had both names picked before the a/s. We have discussed boy names a little but I fear we won't agree so easily this time (and there's nothing I'm in love with).
All the girl scout cookies are gone! That means I have had 10 thin mints today on top of 2 pumpkin spice cookies. Oops! Oh well...all the sweets are now gone...until I make cookies again on Fri or Sat

I had a rough night last night.
DH & I both had bad headaches all day and then after dinner I had the chills and he was just feeling off and went to bed 2 hours earlier than usual. I had a hard time staying asleep and was tossing and turning a lot. At one point I woke up and my insides just hurt - in my half-awake daze, I just brushed it off as heartburn but it hurt a lot worse than that. I must have fallen back asleep but was thrashing all over yelling "no!" over and over. It woke DH up and he said it was kind of scary. I woke up and knew I was going to be sick - I just made it to the bathroom. It felt like I was throwing up acid it hurt so bad. I was able to fall back asleep and was better today (still have a headache, but my stomach is ok) but IDK what that was all about I guess we just must have had some bug and it hit me in a weird way.
((Hugs)) HoneySpider. That sounds really scary glad you are feeling better today.
Thank you ladies! I'm still in shock that someone could do something like that, to anyone let alone an elderly vulnerable lady. She is one if the best, sweetest people I know. When I talked to her last night I told her I hope they catch him...her response is that she is praying for him to change his ways...just the kind of person she is. I really hate that he has taken away her independence...I know it's the last thing she wants. She will stay with MIL/FIL or her son and his wife and she's always anxious to get home and back to her routine.
