Well here it is early Saturday morning and I am up listening to the rain and the sounds of wet tires on pavement as the cars go past and my guy is still nestled snugly in bed. This afternoon we are off to Mexico in Cabos San Lucas for the achievement club trip that I won at work! And are we ever ready for the break! Last night, my guy and a friend finished installing all the doors and cupboards in the new kitchen. The stainless steel appliances are in place and suddenly you can see what the finished product is going to look like and I love it! The hardwood floor goes so well with the kitchen. We still have to install the shelves in the cupboards and the under cupboard lighting, gables, all the finishing things but it looks great already. Even the breakfast bar/island we built looks great, although it is much bigger than I anticipated. The counter guy came and measured, lots of swearing and cussing, but that looks good and I got to vacuum all the new carpet upstairs. It is so spongey with the underpadding and a beautiful tan/caramel colour. Looks amazing and makes the upstairs appear finished. The house is starting to look nothing like it did when we bought it that's for sure! But with all this work, we now need the break.
I also got a call after I had gone to bed from my brother to tell me that my father was admitted to the hospital in Indiannapolis last night where he and my mother are on holidays. They are touring, having been to New Orleans and Dad had a flu before he left that it sounds like with all the touring he never got enough rest to recover. They ran tests last night and everything came back fine, but they were keeping him overnight since he was suffering from dizziness. Hopefully he will be discharged today since they were expected home tonight. My brother spoke to both of them and he said they sounded fine, even if Dad sounded sick. My father has been active, very active his whole life and he pushes too hard and somehow he hasn't realized that he will be 68 in June; he has to learn to slow down a little. It is who he is but I guess now he just needs to get home and sleep! I will hear from my brother today before we leave so God willing there will be good news and no worries and they will be on their way home, Mom with a sick husband in tow. Keep him in your prayers if you can.
Otherwise, still have to pack, tidy up the house and get some more credit for my cell phone. I am never like this, I usually have everything planned and packed well before departure, but there has just been so much going on I haven't gotten to it. So still some running around for me before we can start to relax. And relax we will! We need it, I just want to spend some time with my guy, when both of us are rested! LOL Have a great week, keep Dad in your prayers if you can, happy cooking, and I will be back in a week, full of stories of too much food, too much sun and too many naps!! Miss ya
