This past week had some interesting moments. Tuesday for sure. Colby's nurse called in sick. She couldn't come watch Colby because she had a migraine. Okay, I get that, I've had migraines before and they're awful. Then his bath aide was a no show later that day. She called 2 hours later and apologized. She said she took a nap and just slept right through Colby's appt. I had to chuckle. I told her I appreciated her honesty instead of making up some BS story about an emergency, car trouble, etc. She comes over twice a week and she did make the 2nd time. We tried to cut Colby's hair (see pic). We really don't have a clue what we're doing, but it usually looks okay.
Heck, if we screw up it'll grow out in a couple weeks. No big deal, he's cute no matter what. Transcribing has been extremely slow lately, which is not good. No typey, no money as I always say. Hopefully it'll pick back up soon. Mama has dr. bills to pay dangit! I worked 2 extra days at the hosp this week since my "boss" was on vacation. So that'll help the wallet some.
Saturday was a busy day. My brother and his family were here for a visit and to attend the fundraiser. Came here first for lunch so of course I was up until 12:30 a.m. cleaning the night before. There's no room in this apartment to store anything. I end up using the van as a closet haha. Hey, whatever works. Then we had our Avon fundraiser at Pam's house. Note to self: summer is a very difficult time to have a fundraiser. Many people had plans or were on vacation so we didn't have much of a turnout. But the Avon orders are rolling in and I'm thrilled with the response so far. I think we're going to try to have a yard sale in October and that will be the last fundraiser of the year. Then it'll be time to win the lottery because fundraising, even though I have wonderful friends to help, is hard work to organize. Oh, by the way, we're still taking orders until July 17. Avon has some pretty darn cool stuff. You should check out a brochure, don't you think, wink wink.
I officially am not getting the house I made an offer on a couple weeks ago. There was way too much damage to the foundation and the sellers were not willing to fix it. So I opted to get out, which totally broke my heart. Before you tell me it was for the best, or it just wasn't meant to be, or I'll find another house I like better, please don't. I've already heard it like 20 times and it hasn't helped. I know I'll move on eventually, but for right now I just want to be sad and mad I didn't get this house. Right now, in my heart it's still "the house" for Colby and me. So I need a little more time, then I'll be ready to forget it and move on to bigger and better.
We get Colby's communication device this week, all fancied up with his eye gaze technology, ready to go. His speech therapist has had it for the last few days to program stuff onto it. She's coming over Thursday so we can get Colby using it. That'll prove interesting for sure! Can't wait to see what she has set up for Colby and to see how he does with it. Been a long time since he's used eye gaze. I'm sure he'll do great of course.
Okay, I'm getting tired so I'll wrap this up for now. Had dinner at Buckhead's after Mass tonight. Even though we ate 3 hours ago, I'm still stuffed. But that's what happens when you have 2 glasses of wine, rolls, an appetizer and an entree. Gonna start that diet tomorrow, it's Monday you know. Nitey nite all.
