Last week was not a good one:
- MIL went back to hospital with stomach ache... they said intestine occlusion and they had to operate immediately... she refused so she is now in palliative care. At 1st they said a few days since she can't eat but now they are saying maybe 1 month. I went to see her with the kids on Friday to say our last goodbyes... but now it seems we will have time to go back. I went back with dh Sunday afternoon.
- Truck wouldn't start, had to send it to garage to check it out and change battery
- Water tank leaked on Thursday and had to be changed on Friday
- Still have bump in my throat that is hurting with earache
- Had to dress 'normally' to go to hospital... pffff... my pants don't fit anymore (of course with all that being sick since february and confinement have not exercised - used to go to the gym 3 times a week + some days at home).
*Edited to add: my visa card was frauded this morning!!
Wednesday was our provincial holiday (St-Jean-Baptiste) and our 30th wedding anniversary... .that went down the drain fast when we heard mother in law was going fast.
Friday was my birthday... spent the morning at hospital. My son, ddil and Xavier did come for supper and stayed the night.
Wednesday this week is Canada day, so no work for me but my husband's job is Friday... so we are not getting the same day off.
Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom .
