I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! Let the stress of the holiday season begin! It has for me at least, but I hope others are feeling the joy of the season and basking in it. :)
My dad had a stroke on Thanksgiving, so much of my weekend was spent in the hospital. He's doing okay. His left side is week, his face is droopy on that side, he has no use of his left arm, he can't see on that side, and his left leg is weak, but they think he may regain at least some of that. I'm running on hope right now, that he will get at least a fraction better. His speech is not the best, but seems like it's getting better and at least he makes sense and we can understand mostly what he's saying. Today it's back to work, but I'll make a stop at the hospital before I head home. We're hoping he starts physical therapy soon, and with that we won't be able to visit as often, so he can save his strength. Luckily my mom works in the hospital, so at least she's right there if they need her and she can keep us posted.
Another holiday treat over the weekend, our dishwasher decided to start leaking. So, Merry Christmas to us, we're buying ourselves a new one for Christmas. Not what I had in mind, but you gotta do what you gotta do, and I have grown spoiled by having a dishwasher, so I guess there are worse things we could get ourselves.
This coming weekend is my office Christmas Party and there will be about 70 people coming. Another person is making the meat and potatoes, and I'm doing green beans, rolls, salad, and some decorations. It will be fun and nice to have an evening just enjoying ourselves, but right now a Christmas party is about the furthest thing from my mind. Next week are all of the kids Christmas programs (3), my daughter's birthday, and then the birthday party. It's a hectic time of year, but we all manage. So, if you don't see me here for a while, just know I'm trying to behave, stay sane, and keeping busy. :)
I hope everyone has a great holiday season!!
