Since my last post....

June 5th, 2007 at 06:17 am

I have held it together pretty well guys...right up until I read all of your kind replies...and I honestly lost it--I simply can not explain how grateful I am for your kind support.

Papa is hanging in there...he is still in the hospital, they have found a spot on his lung that is suspect of cancer...but neither he nor my mom want to test it and know for sure...their reasoning, why bother there is nothing that c an be done now anyway.(he is simply too weak for any treatment). He still cant stand or walk to get to the bathroom on his own...so I am not sure when he will be getting his 'get out of jail free card'. In the meantime, nana is having to have surgery on Thursday to get a new fistula.

I did celebrate my 46th birthday on Sunday. I spent the day with good friends and family...and my dad was here to wish me a happy birthday...so what else in the world could I possibly ask for?? absolutely nothing.


I am still LOVING my job. I have the very best 'boss'...he is an amazing person who is quite the natuaral leader...and my job is to help him stay organized and to help him be the best he can be.

Oh---pretty cool. Today I had an opportunity to pre-order tickets to the Nutcracker Ballet for December 23. I am going to take all the 'girls' in my family as a Christmas treat!! My job does a nice donation to the local theatre...and so we get early dibs on the seasons tickets...I am sooo excited to be able to do this!!! The tickets were $26.50 each...but because I have 1/2 year saved in my Christmas Club account...I am able to cover the cost easily!! ((((Have you opened your Christmas account yet???...if not, why not??))))

I hope you all are doing well.

    Ummm... no Christmas club account, but I am half done with my Christmas shopping! Smile Does that count?
    Glad you had a nice birthday (and uneventful). Who could ask for more?
    Hope your dad rebounds soon! And that the surgery goes well on Thursday! Keep us posted!

    Hang in there Ray, I know this is a hard time for you. I have an old christmas account booklet left over from about 1986. Every week I put $30 in that booklet and once a month I put it in my savings, under the sub account, christmas.
