It's Tuesday. It's quiet (if you don't count the tile cutter in the backyard.. sort of adjusting to that) Glen's at 'club', Kevin's playing ball, Rush is in Fremont and dogs are asleep. I probably should be too but had some stuff to catch up on first.

Last week was tough... Monday we had tummy problems part 1... hard to be delicate, but Glen had some constipation issues. What happens then is he gets very agitated and thus begins the 3 minute shuffle... he'll go into the bathroom, stay in there 3 minutes max, go back to his chair, stay there 3 minutes max, go back to the bathroom... this goes on for HOURS. Next day he was far too tired to go to club. But of course angry at me for not letting him go.

Also Tuesday, he needed to pee.. but couldn't get his shorts off, they fit too snugly. (Not that they are snug, just not managable for Glen's hands.) So we ended up with a flood on the wood floors. And those shorts are in the "can't wear" pile.

Wednesday night he was in bed and vomited again all over himself, the carpet, the bed, etc. Purchasing a carpet steam cleaner was one of the best things I've done. Doc says those night time vomiting episodes are most likely aspirations. The most likely end scenario will be that the aspirations eventually cause pneumonia, which we will not agressively treat.

Thursday and Friday were more or less quiet. Saturday Kevin stayed with Glen so I could go to my family reunion at my cousin Laura's in Sebastopol. Nice to see all those folk when we WEREN'T at a funeral! Been far too many of those lately. Lots of good time spent with Don and the nephews on the way up and back. Not used to being up quite that late any more though!

Yesterday Glen was a little grumpy again. OK, he was a LOT grumpy. Had it in his head that he was going for a walk... never mind the fact that he in general can't be allowed to go walk on his own, it was freaking HOT!! Unfortunately I was then the bad guy for being mean and not letting him go. After dealing with that all day, loan guy calls and needs MORE paperwork... argh!! Yup guys, I'm just sitting around here doin' nuthin'.. let me get right on that for you! Fire off a fairly cranky letter to both the loan officer and our financial advisor. He's now very aware of my frustration level and is working to help things move along.

Speaking of financing though.. the pool is looking amazing! Boulders were installed yesterday. I know I need to take pictures and post.. will try to do that soon. Probably after I pay bills and find that missing paperwork for the loan guy and try to get the dishes out of the sink. Oh.. and abut that nap. Just another day in the life, eh?

Before I finish up.. a bazillion thanks to my cousin Patty who fixed me up with an alarm so that we will KNOW when Glen's gotten out of bed. Better to know that when it happens than to find that he's fallen an hour later!! Thanks Pat.. you're the BEST!

And to Carol Brown... who, upon reading my request for cheese to go with my whine at the end of the last blog post... sent me a big box of CHEESE!! Yummy yummy Cheese!! Which made me LAUGH!! And THAT, my friends, is a gift I cannot being to put a value on!

Love all you guys.. but the typoes are making it very clear I need sleep.
