Evenin' folks. FWIW I'm vey series about the Grand Canyon trip. Been tryin' to figger out how to make it happen. And there's not another group I'd like to travel with more.
That said, Stormhands' evenin' update...
Didn't have choir tonite. But took the boys to their regular Wednesday evening stuff at church. Wife is with Nana (more in a minute).
Luke has said all day that his stomach hurts. He hasn't thrown up or otherwise, but he hasn't eaten much either. Personally, I'm thinking he's OD'd on Easter candy. Jr. "watched" him yesterday. When I got home, Luke had opened up about 4-5 dozen plastic Easter eggs that we had for the hunt. A good portion of the candy was gone. And let's just say we didn't spend any money on candy. We recycled his candy bag...some of it as old as last Christmas. He's resting on the couch now sippin' on some watered down Diet Coke, his beverage of choice.
Like I said, wife is still at the hospital with Nana. Apparently the Sunday night fall was not as event free as we had thought. Nana's right arm is all swollen and she can't lift a cup to her mouth (yes, she's right handed). Wife said tonite the arm was swollen enough that the plastic ID tag was cutting off the circulation. So, since the dinner time nurse didn't do anything while wife was gone transferring the boys to me, she went back.
She called about a half hour ago, they were gonna take Nana down for x-rays. Don't mess with a G.R.I.T.S.
Local sister has been worthless and has NOT been to see her Mom. She (sister) was telling me tonight her trials of being asked to bake a birthday cake for someone and that she has a baby shower to go to on Saturday. 'Scuse my langauge but BFD.
I only hope and pray she lives long enough to feel guilty for years...
Was supposed to take Friday off to paint the bathroom. But Rasputin and Boss Troll wanna meet with me on Friday, essentially to tell me how to fix stuff they've screwed up or dropped the ball on. So I'm takin' tomorrow off to paint instead. I figger if I start early enough I'll be done by noon and can get some yard work done.
I'm bouncing in my chair excited for you! That's one of my most favoritests places! ('course I'm vey biased....) I haven't been able to catch up with the thread - are you thinking road trip? or fly into AZ/UT and rent a car for touring?
Dang dude... hang in there. :-)
Sorry about Nana being hurt.... I didn't know about the fall, but I hope nothing is broken.
I was born in AZ, just drove within about 80 miles of it, and I've never been there.
Grand Canyon? Water rafting?
What the hell...I'm in!
Just be sure I can sit in the middle and that I have a HUGH lifevest.
Hope Luke gets to feelin' better soon. Iced chamomile tea would do the trick if he was inclined to drink it.
Prayers up for Nana.
Hope Nana's ok... sorry about the relatives. Like they say, we can't pick our relatives. But we do pick our friends. Which is why I can't quite figure why you hang out here ;-)
I'm series about the Grand Canyon trip too, I just don't see why we should wait so long. Why not do it next year, seeing as we don't have plans yet?
