Weekend Ahead

How do you spend your time during the weekend? Do you have extra chores to do? Is it a fun weekend or a busy work around the house weekend for you?

This weekend, I have two parties to go to. It will be busy because I also need to get my grandson to camp in RI. I am thinking that it might be an opportunity to see my foster daughter as well. She works every other weekend.

Tonight, I hope to visit my friend who had total knee replacement done on Monday. She is at a rehab center where she will get all the OT and PT that she needs. Let's hope she wants company. I sent an email just before 5 pm.

I knew this would be a short entry but I want to keep up with the promise to myself to make a blog post more frequently.

I expect my husband home soon. His meatloaf is now done. I must go out and prepare the rest of the meal. Do I give him another salad? He has had four salads this week.

He has been preparing his own lunches these past two weeks. It is eerie that he does this because he did not take lunches up until about four years ago steady. I think about his fall and his knee surgery constantly this month. He was so incapacitated for most of the 12 weeks that he was home. I returned to work in September not being fully sure that he would do well with me away from him 9 hours a day. I had his meals already made and at the front of the fridge so he could get them without doing much bending or searching.

His fall came June 29 2009 at the theater where we saw a chick flick. It is crazy that this made him known on the floor that he went to a chick flick and was hurt. He is great laughing at that and did repeat it to the two women who came in for his OT and PT.

I just want to say that his control over his diabetes is so well done.

Can you wonder why I love this man?

I remember responding to a woman on fb who just had an accident. In the accident, she was not hurt very much just aches but her car was severely damaged. It reminded me of the accident that I called to speak to Bobby in the 70s when I was single. He came over and was very attentive. I was emotionally distraught then and for a long time following this accident because the person did not have to run into me. He was stopped at a stop sign. I was taking a left turn. I know now that I could not have been killed but I felt in my heart that it was a near miss with death back then. My car door was smashed in and I could not use it. Strange how I was able to exit the car on the right side over the console.

Oh yes, there have been other near misses. I took my husband's fall as a near miss. I did not know what caused him to fall. I saw him writhing in pain. Did he have a heart attack? What was going on? I just did not know. He was in so much pain that he was unable to speak at first.

So, I find myself starting this blog post as a joyful rendition of my weekend. I go on to get all sappy remembering two accidents and now I am thinking about L. and possibly seeing her again. She was two when I first met her. She is 29 now. I hope I can get to see her this weekend if not in two weeks.

Let us hope it is not a near miss.
