A Fabulous Friday

Well, another night without much sleep, this is really getting old. I did not feel all that bad when I did get up, just did not have much energy. After breakfast, I went into the living room to read the paper, just as I finished reading the paper the mail came.


There was not much there, just a refund check, I think that is the least amount of mail that we have gotten in a long time. Kathleen and I had planned to go visit Andrea early this afternoon, but about 1230, I got so tired I went back to bed.

Just about the time I fell asleep, Kathleen awoke me when she asked if I was sleeping. Then I had just gotten back to sleep when Andrea called to find out when we were coming, Kathleen had already left. Getting back to sleep again, someone called looking for money, and by the time I convinced them that I was not going to give them anything, I was so wide awake that I decided to get up.

I heated up a bowl of spaghetti from last night and toasted a croissant and put some peanut butter and all fruit on it. I was going to sit in my chair in the living room, but I realized that it was really nice outside, so I thought why not take the phone and lay outside.

I originally planned on lying on my lounge chair outside, I got the chair out of the garage and sat down in it for a while, but every time I looked around all I could see was things that I needed to do. So I got up and trimmed off the dead stalks from plants and the dead parts of a couple other hydrangeas.

Then I lay back down in my chair and rested for a while. After a quick cat nap, I emptied the can of clippings, just as I was finishing up; Kathleen called and said that she was still with Andrea. After hanging up, I went inside and cleaned up and sat down and rested some more.


I am still tired, and I do not think that I will get to sleep until midnight or so. Even when I try to go to bed earlier, I am up so much that I do not get any rest, kind of a vicious cycle. Kathleen got home around 1700 and decided to heat up the spaghetti for dinner tonight, which was fine with me. Both of us were really tired and just about fell asleep in our dinner.

Kathleen did say that both Andrea and Brandon were looking better today. They are keeping Brandon at the hospital for observation, Andrea had been discharged, but they are letting her stay in her room as they do not need the space right now.

Andrea is glad that they are keeping Brandon until they are confident that he is ready to go home. I think it is a good idea because if something were to go wrong, he is already at the hospital and would save a lot of time just getting there.

Well, I am too tired to remember if there is anything else that I should write about, so I will say good night for now.

Hello Opa! Brandon is doing really well. He is going to be getting off the billiruben lights today and if everything goes well we'll be home tomorrow! I sure didn't expect to be here for a whole week but It's so worth it. He is eating well and gaining back some of the weight he lost. I am slowly getting used to waking up every three hours to nurse, once I get there I wake up but it's so hard to leave the bed... Even though it isn't that comfortable, anything will work when your as tired as I have been. As you are well aware! Last night there was an emergency c-section and John and I thought that we might have some company but everything went well for them. And I'm glad. Well, I hope you are getting some energy back. Hope to see you soon and introduce you to your grandson. Love Andrea
