I haven't been here for a while. I probably should have left a long time ago but I love to read up on my friends and support when I can. Maybe taking a break has been good.

It's been a rough week. Ryan was rushed to hospital a week ago in pain. Very scary! Turned out he had water toxicity. His workers were giving Jim too much water. I had just recently brought up this possibility in a meeting since it happened about 12 years ago. We nearly lost him due to kidneys shutting down. But he is home.

Last night my dad collapsed in a parking lot. Totally unresponsive and no pulse. Somehow he was resuscitate. Paramedics said it was a miracle to save an 88 year old in his state. Had trouble getting hold of family - I'm 3 hours away but finally got my youngest sister who went there. And although he was in ICU and on a mask - he was cracking jokes! I'm packing up now to head there with my other sister. He has been going downhill fast, so hard...

In other news - things have been busy at SunFun Cottages - amazingly busy. I ran a camp for women there 2 weeks ago and it was resoundingly successful. Can't wait to do it again.

And yesterday's I got a new Seadoo! Hadn't planned on it but the little boat I got for the cottages wasn't working out so well as he water was incredibly shallow this summer. The Seadoo was bought by a rental company in July. They sell off their fleet at then end of every summer. 2 months old and only 40 hours and I got it for 2/3 of the price. I did check it all out and my Seadoo dealer knows the company and its all good. I was worried it might be hot. So I think I will keep it at my Ouse and take my other one to the cottage.

But enough about that, kat - wishing you all the best with the wedding. Thinking of all of you!
