Monday, Monday

This was Valentine's weekend and we really did have a lovely Day. We had some time a lone and spent a lovely dinner at our favorite place: Panzano's. The food was delicious, the wine wonderful, and the people watching spectacular.

Warren really seemed to love the watch I gave him and I think was really touched that I 'took him' out for dinner. He gave me a gorgeous necklace and we broached the subject of 'forever' without actually saying anything. I love how we dance around that subject without coming to a conclusion, however, I think it's just a matter of time.

Missy continues to make strides (and not jsut walking my ass off). She has gotten into this thing about not coming out of the bedroom for other people. However, this morning as I was trying to get her ready for her walk she just jumped off of the sofa. Twice. I think in her excitement to go she forgot about the devil incarnate (better known as Lucy, the cat).

We have taken to keeping Lucy in Warren's room for a time at night so Missy can have some floor time without having to worry about an imminent attack. It also gives me a chance to feed her. I have started putting a bit of beef broth in her kibbles so she'll eat and I have no issues when we do that!

Warren has been a trouper through the whole dog thing. She was even cuddled up on his lap last night and snoring....gee, another snoring family member, go figure.

Hayley is off for two days. Hopefully the dog sitting goes well.

I didn't sleep well the last two nights but I'm hopeful a little relaxing bath and a glass of wine might help me tonight.

6 Months of Doctor's

Ok, so sounds like Hayley now has either bronchitis or pnuemonia.............along with her Mono. Dad is taking her to the doctor this afternoon so we should know something by dinner time. So, after the gall bladder/appendix in September, the portal vein thrombosis in October, the shots, the doctor visits, back to the hospital in December, thought we were getting better in January, got the Mono in February, and now maybe Bronchitis in March.........holy smokes. Wonder if she's even going to make it through 8th grade? Wonder.

Both Sides Now

      I haven't written about dad's actual death yet, it still hurts too much and I fear the tears would never stop.      Over the last few months mom has gone on a spree, giving away and donating things they've collected over the 50 plus years of marriage.  I don't think she realized just how much 'stuff' they had.        Dad was a picture taker.  It seems like he was always getting his camera out.  Growing up it seems that he was always taking the same group picture, the same photo of a family dinner, the same photo of holidays.  The same faces, the same Christmas tree, the same Thanksgiving table.  What I didn't realize until after he was gone and mom started going through boxes upon boxes of these pictures was that he was documenting the history of our family.  Our lives.        My throat gets tight and my eyes well with tears thinking about how our...
