I can’t see half the internet right now. I can’t get into Google, and I can’t see any Blogger sites except the one to post. It has been two days now and I am lost without Google and reading all my favorite sites. It is strange that I can still post though.
Here’s hoping that we can fix this today, I am assuming it is something at my house, but don’t entirely know for sure.
On a good note, I am at the halfway point in my novel. So far so good, I have really been enjoying making people up and giving them a life. I fear a few inconsistancies but, those would be fixed in an edit afterwards, should I choose to actually edit my novel. If nothing else it has been truly lots of fun. I am hoping it will give me the inspiration to finish a few other projects I have on the go right now.
Yesterday was definately tough. My Sister and I held our intervention complete with the help of Mom. Dad knew it was coming and tried to get us to stop talking. But, when I started to cry he stopped and listened. The most important words I had to say were, “I am not ready for you to go Dad.” And you know what? He heard each and every word. I told him that I understand how hard it is to lose weight and all we are asking is that he tries. If he only loses ten pounds then that is alright with us. We just want him to try. The Doctors will most likely make him lose a lot more, but we got him off on the right track. I brought gifts of fresh fruits and a trail mix of seeds, nuts and dried fruit for when he has the munchies. I also brought lemons for his water, to make it more fun to drink. All in all it was good, just tough to tell your Dad something he should know better about. And we love him so much, that is what was most important to convey.
Since it is municipal voting day here, we made sure we casted our ballots. J didn’t tell me I did a good job this time, but he sure loved pretending to play basketball in the gym of his school. He really can’t wait for school now, I don’t think I will have a choice but to register him for four year old kindergarten next year. He is just too excited to get there and start learning. I hope he doesn’t get too upset when they don’t spend the entire day in the gym. Anyhow, I digress. We voted, we voted, we voted!!!! I hope to hear that all of you in our area voted too!!!!
Can’t wait to hear who wins!
After my last post, it is ironic to post that my father, who really needs to lose a few pounds spent yesterday at the hospital. He was having trouble breathing. We have all asked and begged him to lose some weight, but until you make up y our mind yourself it just doesn’t work. My father has not been to Emerg since… well, the ’70’s when he broke his arm.
The Doctor’s aren’t exactly sure what is wrong with him, but he did have fluid in his lungs and possibly has some congenital heart failure. Possible. The interns wanted to check him in yesterday, but when the doctor finally showed up at midnight, she saw no reason for him to stay. He will however have to go to the Heart Institute for further testing. The Doctor did say one thing for sure… you must lose weight Mr.
And so it begins again. My Sister’s and I have decided that he needs an intervention. We have all agreed to help him by giving up our treats, etc. as well. He gets to eat way more calories than my sisters and I but, we will go at it with him and help him in anyway possible. He won’t have to join a gym because we have one here in our house. So, he will have to work out, like it or not.
So again, I will give up my sweets and hope that some fresh fruit full of all things sugary and natural will have to do. If I can’t do it, there is no way I can expect my Dad to.
