POOR SPOD

He had such an awful day today.  He phoned me several times and he sounded just terrible and in such a weak feebly voice told me he felt yucky.  It seems his pills aren't working as well anymore.  The hospital phoned me today and told me that they would medi van him down to the cancer clinic on the 18th, Thursday for the exploratory exam and biopsy.  I hope they tap his tummy …its getting so big again.  This is just awful. The poor man just needs to come home and be normal again.  I so wish…..

Monte is much better.  He is back on his old meds and he started to improve immediately.  He will be heading back to Port tomorrow, probably coming back next week.  He needs to see his doctor.  

Today Tandy, bless her heart, drove his truck down to the dumpy area, unloaded a massive amount of garbage (maggots and all, blasted blighters) and arranged for me to have weekly pick up, even got the garbage container.  But as she drove his truck she had a terrible time getting it into gear, backward and forward.  We insisted Monte try it out tonight and when he moved it we saw a pile of leaked transmission fluid on the ground.  CRAP!!  So tomorrow before he leaves, in our Tacoma, we have to figure out where to take his truck and get it fixed.  And of course pick it up when its done.  He won't be here to do it.

I was in to see Spod a couple of times today.  He mostly slept and didn't get out of bed.  He is so sick.  Tandy and Kevin went in tonight and took his lap top to him.  He showed them travel pics.  He phoned when they left and he so enjoyed the visit.  Perked him right up!

While they were gone I fed the kids some supper, let them eat TWO ice cream sandwiches, bathed them then read them two chapters in Fenton's chapter book plus a library book that Elise picked.

We were sitting in my rocking chair in purple room.  And I gotta tell ya, I was so tired I was fading fast!  And I made a discovery (actually a rediscovery because I remember this from when Kevin and Aryn were little…I just forgot I could do this)….I can sleep and read at the same time.  I really can!!  I was reading Elise's book and I fell asleep.  At the last sentence I jolted awake and upon quizzing the children I had actually read the whole page, while asleep!  I can remember doing this with my own kids when they were small.  Although Fenton kind of caught on.  He told me I kind of said some things wrong…hahaha.

Sh*t….I just drank a giant moth.  DAMMITTTT!!  I am tired of getting bugs in my mouth.  This is always happening to me.  Its dark in here, the light is off, and I have a glass of mango pop.  I just took a mouthful and I thought I had accidentally picked up an ice cube..but noooo, when I bit down on it, expecting icy cold crunch,it was a  soft fuzzy squash.  Ewwwwww…….

Seriously…I need to go to chair now.  Lets hope my Billyboy has a better day tomorrow.  Its hard to see him so sick and miserable, I can't imagine how he must feel in there all alone at night.  The nurse says he doesn't sleep much at night.  Man I wish he was home.  TTYL  ps:  did you notice I posted about the challenge a day early…I thought it was Tuesday all day today…jeez….(shovel list)
