I don't want anyone to be missing out...so...

Here's a post even though there is really not much to tell. Oh there's a visit from Mary Sue Ellen. Mary Ellen came to see us on Saturday and we persuaded her to come up to our local for lunch. It was pretty good and we had a good long visit finding out how Wal, Caitlin, Thomas and Gabe are. As a nurse Mary Ellen has provided us with tons of information and reassurance so far, so a visit with her is fun and smart. We are very lucky to have the Mullers in our life.

Oh and there's the trip to the markets this morning. Joyce was anxious to show me the organic markets every Sunday morning. We were there at 6:30, opening, and the competition was fierce! Who knew that the greenies of the world are killer marketeers. Anyway we were home with our goods by 7:00am! We lingered over coffee then went up to a new (for us) restaurant in our little precinct, called Butter Bistro; great brunch. Then we walked along the far side river walk, caught the ferry back to the Riverside Markets and were back home again by 10:30! We have just been hanging out, a little lunch and reading until now.

Oh and there's a visit from David and Susan Lewis Friday evening for cocktails. They were really welcome. Bev joined us for the first part and their Daughter Bridget came to pick them up and visited for a bit. They arrived by ferry. We love that we are so close to such a great convenience.

Saturday was filled with reading and lounging.

WE have an appointment with Shoes tomorrow at a TBA time also to get my three lumens flushed and heparinized. sounds way cooler than it is. At least there is no discomfort of any sort.

Will clarify the actual transplant date with him at that time I guess.

Great to hear from Rick, Alicia, John the cuz, and my old pal Jim. and of course that fanactically terriffic typist Shinny, JoJames, Regs, Melissa and Kathy, and Ellen SL thanks.

P.S. If anyone finds a Guinea Pig answering to Tuxedo please post. There may not be a reward but letting a little girl know her project has not ended up flat would be so reassuring. i personally think that the horse helped in the prison break.

PPS confused? you have to read all the Blog not just my posts, there's comments and profiles and other blogs it's a cornucopia of texting.

More later

Your Sunday morning is a perfect example of how to go day by day in life....."simple pleasures". I am glad you are not confined at all times to hospital. DVD suggestion: "Man of the Year". Robin Williams plays a comedian who gets elected to be President due to quirky software in evoting equipment. Pretty good.

Wonder how "pretty" evolved into a synonym for "very" or "quite"?

That thought will send me to Wikipedia. Take care, get well.

Hey chrissy,

It sounds like you are having a lovely time in the big smoke! I'm glad that everything is going well!

Well grade 12 has officially started with mountains of assignments and homework... aargh!

Its not too bad because it does involve quite alot of excursions like this weekend we went all the way to dundowan!!! I know its sooo far away. Part from leaving as one giant moisquito bite and spending the day knee deep in mangroves it was ok. I had the most fun when we weren't doing biology!

Well i have to head off to school...

Love you both

Alicia xoxo
