Life, work, family - those things are far more important that this house or my need to finally sit on my couch. That said, a few things have sidelined the project lately.
First and foremost would be Dad and his ticker. He had a triple bypass (diabetes is a bitch) a few years ago and now has been diagnosed with pericarditis. The way to fix it? Another open heart surgery. (Insert expletives here.) To double check those results, he has had to undergo a battery of tests. His latest was a heart cath. He was terrific and I can honestly say although there is some anger there that this has happened, he is handling things very well...much better than I would be. He will have some decisions to make once all the tests come back. Will he undergo another surgery, or will he continue to be out of breath and deal with all the resulting side effects of this issue. Stay tuned.
Another bump in the road is my job...lol. It's not a bump, as it puts food on the table and I love it. Prom was the actual speed bump during the beginning week of April. Even though we are a virtual school and kids attend at their houses and I teach at mine, we are always on the lookout for times for them to interact face-to-face. Prom is one of those times. This year's theme - the 80s. Really? When did I become old enough for people to dress up like I did in my teen years and think it's funny? When did my music become something to snicker at? I mean we had Prince, Devo, Madonna, and Culture Club...these goofballs have Justin Beiber for goodness sake. Anyway, I was the decorating chair for prom, so I borrowed mom's glue gun (I have no idea where mine is), hit Michaels and Hobby Lobby and went to town to create centerpieces for the tables. It turned out pretty nicely if I do say so myself.
