Hey naej - congrats. I am happy that you are happy!
I texted Chuck yesterday to let him know that Ryan is not up to going out yet as it was his visitation day. I did not invite him over (things were messy and Ryan was vomitting). He said he understood and hoped things would improve soon. I did go the extra mile by texting back that he was welcome to call to check on him any time. I did not want to extend anything beyond that but open to letting him visit if he asked. I still am facing telling him about the move in the coming months and I want to ease into that by not being "that evil bitch".
Ryan had a wretched night of vomitting, nose bleeds and congestion. Neither of us got much sleep. But this morning he was much more awake and his nurse is here, bathing and dressing him. Will get him up in his recliner.
"Wake up and smell the coffee" - this morning I smelled coffee and heard dripping. Opened my eyes to see coffee running down the wall in Ryan's room. Yesterday the dispenser stuck and leaked in the kitchen. Today when it went off (automatically) it did the same and leaked right through the walls. (Ryan's room is under the kitchen). So - UGH - another huge mess to clean up and no coffee to get me through it. Fortunately I had just cleaned up my old coffee maker to give to Ash for her moving out in Spring and made some fresh java to get me going.
Today I think I will go out and do some shopping. I NEED to get out. Today was our trip to Disney world (Ryan, nurse & I). I just cancelled my flight yesterday. Ryan and nurse were going to fly home on Tues and Josh was flying in on Wed. If things have settled by then - I may rebook my flight and go for 5 days as we have tickets to see Whoopi Goldberg read the Christmas story and 2 very hard to get dining reservations. But Ryan comes first and if things are not significantly better - it will be a NO GO!
I want the Clutter Fairy to come and remove everything superfluous from my house. Now that's my Christmas wish!
