A Busy Time

Hubby wasn’t feeling too well on Monday morning but went in to see his cousin who was popping in for a visit at the workshop. His cousin checked him out while he was visiting and gave him a prescription for his bronchitis. Dennis also checked his feet and was surprised he is still walking around so is going to make an appointment for Hubby at a Cardio Vascular Surgeon to see what is the best course of action. I spent the morning doing my invoicing and statements. Really missed Diane at this time as every now and again I stopped to scan and email before carrying on with statements. (She was so good at doing it for me while I carried on). After the visit Hubby came home to go to bed. I went in to Meyerton to collect his prescription as well as shop late afternoon. The chemist was hectic and I had to queue for ages before finding out that they had run out of the anti-biotic prescribed. What a pain! I spent the evening after supper finishing off all except the final statement and emailing everything possible. Tuesday I quickly finished the last statement and organised myself to go into the workshop while Hubby stayed in bed. Late morning I fetched the prescription and Hubby took his first dose before we went into Alberton. (He wanted to give instructions and check on things). While he was busy I faxed the last statements and quickly went to the shops before we returned home for Hubby to go back to bed. I filed and then after supper watched TV and did some cleaning. Wednesday morning Hubby stayed in bed while I finished cleaning everywhere before Ali and the boys arrived to stay a few days. Ali was on her own at home and decided she would rather come through to us and stay. The rest of the day was spent either playing with Travis or looking after Josh – we took it in turns. Luckily the day was a beautiful sunny one with the temperature reaching 23. Hope winter is over. Hubby got up briefly every now and then to take Travis for a ride on his Mini Motor Bike. Travis loved it. He is really car and motorbike mad just like his Grandpa. Thursday morning Hubby went in to work and Ali and I went through to Henley to take Travis to his old Play Group for a visit. I looked after Josh while Ali and Travis did the class together. Afterwards was tea and cake and gossip time. Most enjoyable to see old friends! The rest of the day was spent outdoors playing with Travis after he had a nap. Thursday evening Ali and I watched TV while Hubby dosed up and went to bed. Friday morning was very disappointing as the weather was overcast and cloudy with a chilly wind blowing. We went into Meyerton in the morning where Ali went in to the chemist to weigh Josh after we had been shopping. At birth Josh weighed 3.2kgs and today at exactly five weeks old he weighed 4.8kgs. Ali couldn’t believe how much he had gained though he has become quite chubby. His cheeks look like a little hamster. He is sooo cute now and he has just started smiling and laughing. He is like Travis was – laughing in his sleep. When we got back we had a picnic lunch in the play area and then took Travis for a walk up and down the road. Ali was determined to tire him out so that he would sleep early when she got home. They left shortly after and I quickly vacuumed and tidied up everywhere so my weekend would be free. Hubby was home quite early and went to bed as he wasn’t feeling too good again – overdoing things again. Diane arrived home about half five and we had an early supper before going to our Friday Night Cultural evening. Hubby decided to stay in bed so it was just the two of us who went. It was another very enjoyable evening of song from love songs to light opera.
Saturday was a hectic day of shopping and wandering around the shops with Diane. Hubby was feeling a lot better and quite energetic so he spent the morning tidying his garage up with the help of the gardener. I spoke to Ali and laughed when she told me Travis had refused to sleep early and in fact had watched the eight o’ clock movie with her before falling asleep at half nine. Guess he didn’t have a long enough walk Friday afternoon. Diane and I got back after four and after unpacking the shopping chilled with a glass of wine before I started supper. After supper we watched TV until late. Sunday morning was up as if it was a weekday as Hubby had asked the gardener to carry on helping in the garage. After feeding the dogs and putting them away I went back to bed in time for Hubby to bring our breakfast. I cleared washing while Diane started organising herself for her week ahead. Val and Colin popped in on the way back from Vanderbijl Park where they had gone with Kim who is doing a six week block in the hospital there. Kim stays in the Res there only going home at the weekends. Only another few months and she will be a qualified Doctor. She can’t wait for the hectic studying while doing hospital time to be over. After they left it was too late to go for a hike so we went for a cycle instead. It felt good to be doing some exercise again. The rest of the day was spent sorting out things for Diane’s week ahead. Before we knew it was already dark so Diane decided to stay over and go through in the morning to work. The evening was spent watching the second ‘ Night in the Museum’ movie and checking e-mails etc on the computer. It was so nice to have our Milo together again though during the last half of the week Ali and I were having Milo together.
Cheers and have a Fantastic Week.
