Sunday Evening

Well it's Sunday evening and I'm getting everything ready to begin a new week.

I have bronchitis and it has really gotten me down. I finally finished the medicine and, though it doesn't hurt quite as much to breathe, it has still got me down. The medicine has been playing havoc with my stomach and I'm still so tired. I don't need this for a number of reasons. First of all, I have a bunch to do next week at work and, secondly, I hate being sick. Being sick has stopped my lenten program of exercise but at least I have been able to make it to church.

Last Friday I got to babysit. That was such a treat. My sweet grandbaby is getting so big. Last Tuesday she not only turned 9 months old but she cut her first tooth. I can't imagine where all the time has gone. We had such a good time playing. She is so much fun these days. But then she got sleepy. As I held her and looked down on that sweet, adorable face, I was struck by how big she looks now. She is not that little baby but a big girl that smiles in her sleep and talks on the phone to me.

Tom even came over and visited while I was babysitting and then he got to visit with his sister when she got home. I am so glad they are getting closer. When I'm gone I want them to have each other. Of course he's also worried about Missy and her Graves Disease. Isn't that a horrible name? I know they named it after a doctor but it's still a terrible name. Missy has done so much research on this subject. She has opted to take the medication. She is supposed to start it on Monday. We are all praying that she will have no side effects. They can be brutal but I have faith that everything will work out. I just want my baby well.

The other good news is that Patti and Tom are trying to get their boxer pregnant. If all goes well, she will have a liter for Mother's Day. This is an exciting time for Tom and Patti because Hulda is a great dog. She's beautiful and has great pedigry. Hopefully they will have some healthy and happy puppies. I can't wait to see what Serif will do when she has the puppies crawling all over. That will definitely be time to get the video camera out.

Well the laundry is finished so it's time to fold clothes and head off to bed. Hopefully Monday will be a good day for everyone.
