Ok, the first moral of this long story will be to remember your username and passwords! I couldn't remember what my password was for this web-site so that is why it has been so long. I think I will remember this one. Sometimes I think I have lost what is left of my mind...
Let see...what have we been up to. Since I had my heart test I have been busy with other appointments to determine what is wrong. I am still having issues but still trying to work thoough them. I have had one allergy and asthma test and have one more to do next week. I have developed allergies to a lot more things in the last 10 years. Now I am allergic to just about every tree out there, mold, dust mites, cats, dogs, house dust, and so on. Yes, I did say that I am now allergic to cats - but I am not getting rid of them yet. As they kick the bucket I will probably not replace them and all of my cats are older so it won't be more than 10 years of allergy hell.
Mom is having some issues. She goes in on Thursday for 2 different test to determine if she has bladder cancer. She has been in a lot of pain for the last couple of months and it is only getting worse. She is still working on physical "torture" for her shoulder. The doctor told her that is would be at least another month or more of physical torture before she is done with this. It has taken her a lot longer to get over this surgery it seems. Maybe it is just me. She doesn't feel like planting any flowers, sew, or even go anywhere. So I know she is not at her best.
Tom is having a procedure next Thursday (May 29th) to scope his throat and stomach again. He is still having a lot of issues with his throat closing up while he eats and drinks. Otherwise he is really busy with keeping up with the yard and Alayna.
Kristi is at her last night of class for this session tonight. This is psychology one and she has one more psy class that starts in a couple of weeks. She is really having issues with her job. So many demands that are making her crazy.
Alayna started "school" a couple of weeks ago. Kristi took her out of the daycare that she was in and put her in a actual preschool. We had been concerned about some of the things Alayna was coming home and doing or saying and once all 3 of us got together and talked about our concerns it was evident that she needed to be moved and quickly. This daycare had a spot and Alayna was able to slide right in. She has already learned the pledge of allegence and several songs in spanish and chinese. So, I think the move was a really good choice for her.
Brian and his girlfriend, Megan, rented a duplex and are going to move in together in August. I am not sure how this is going to work. I have been getting little things for their apartment to try to help them out.
For Mothers day weekend, Mom, Alayna, Kristi, and I went to Minneapolis to take mom to see her friend. I will tell you that if I ever go back to Minneapolis it will be too soon!! I was not impressed with Minneapolis at all. The trip there and back wasn't bad - highway all the way, but the time there was not what we expected. We went to the zoo and it would be a nice zoo if they would have some animals. They didn't have any lions, tigers, or bears - oh my!! They had a few monkeys, a couple of camels, and some fish. Oh yea, they had a barnyard - but we didn't go there. The dolphin show was ok, but not worth the $100 that it cost to get in the zoo, parking, drinks, and popcorn.
On June 5th, mom and I have to go to Little Rock for the burial of my cousin who died a year ago. It is a long story and neither of us are looking forward to going. Once this is done I don't know if or when we will go back. We plan on taking Alayna and spending Saturday at the zoo, but that will depend on the weather.
Tom and I are talking about buying a pop up camper so we can camp with my brother and niece. I am not sure if we will actually buy one with mom, Tom, and I all feeling bad we will have to wait and see.
I guess that catches you up a little on our family.
