I am a bit sick this week, odd summer cold I tell myself but I know that it’s because my body is broken down a bit from stress and overuse and shenanigans. It is on it’s way out and should be cleared out by the weekend which is good because we are in the process of getting the place ready for Jodelene to move in. That means changing flooring, painting and in general putting a bit of a modern look and feel on the place, it’s a 30 year old building so you can imagine that it’s no small task.
We have also arranged from some help from the ‘rents to install some flooring. My parents and Jodelene’s parents are going to be coming out on or around the first weekend in September and meeting for the first time. To me this is an important event, these people will form part of the base of our support hierarchy. I don’t want to put too much importance on the first meeting, those are always awkward and feel a bit contrived but I hope that it goes well. In a perfect world I would hope that they like each other and enjoy spending time together, maybe pick up the phone now and again to see how each other are doing. At the very least it would make me smile to know that they pick up the phone to ask how the grandchildren are doing.
I should go and continue to get ready, it’s Friday and I want to make sure I get out at a decent time.
