We woke up this morning and Brian and I took the dogs for a lengthy walk. I got to catch up with all the things going on in his life. I really enjoyed the time. We can always share a laugh and I value that.
The weather was overcast but calm and pleasant. We had coffee and then it was time to get ready to come home. It then started to rain lightly. Poor Diane made the mistake of licking her keys in her car.
This isn’t a new thing for us. A few years back this happened to a friend of ours. I even got Paul a slim Jim kit. Figures, it was at our house.
I ended up getting on the road around noon. I had some things I needed to complete, chores to do and things to prepare for work.
When I arrived home with the dogs, Ethan had a friend over. They were sitting on the front porch in the rocking chairs. I liked that they were enjoying them and talking about whatever 21 year old men talk about. I don’t really want to know (but kind of do because it is likely immature and hilarious).
Our power was out. Ugh! I have like 30 loads of laundry to do by Friday. That is how I manage my stress for the week. I clean. I have learned that when I feel out of control, I have to focus on things I can control, like cleaning. Coping at its finest.
Tomorrow is Ethan’s ultrasound appointment. What will they find? How long will it take? Will they find anything out? Will the ultrasound person be kind? Will they have to repeat all the images? Lots of questions. Clearly these appointments are unsettling BUT the great news is, we get to stay in Rochester for testing. Yay!
The other brightside is that we may get a plan of how to combat this issue of rising kidney values and decrease in kidney function.
I am also excited that in the middle of a busy week, we are getting our new dog. We are still thinking of names. We are open to suggestions.
