Good evening.
I worked this weekend and am now back in the Woodstock area. Saw Alice this afternoon. She was dressed and chatting with her sister Joyce, and brother-in-law Clarence. She seems to have less energy, while being more alert and aware. Her colour was not so good, but her voice was a little stronger. Her hair continues to come out, but slowly, I think. Her appetite continues to be healthy, and then some!
Doug and I arrived at the same time and walked up together. Florence and Alec Steele (neighbours from Kintore) dropped in, too. I haven't seen them in years--was good to catch up and reminisce.
She had lots of visitors on the weekend and even spent an hour out in the hospital's garden with Lyle and Deb. She was out again today with Jean Sutherland. The sunshine and fresh air has been good for her--how could it not be?
There is some sort of family meeting on Thursday morning--I expect to have more to write that afternoon.
I've applied for a 2 month leave from work, so as to give me a little more flexibility with my time. Because my position is a 'sleep-over' one (for 2 consecutive days and nights, once per week) it means a good chunk of time out of my own home. Coupled with trying to come home (to Embro area) for a few days each week--I felt like I was running from pillar to post. This way I only have 2 beds to sleep in each week.
That's all for now. I must google how to wash a pink llama's wool blanket--Alice got corn syrup on hers this morning!
love, Robin.
