rosa_heartlilySo glad this year is almost over. It has NOT been fun.
Husband is showing signs of getting back to 'normal' - tiny, tiny signs but they're adding up. Physically, the doctor is now worried about his cholesterol levels *sigh* And we have another MRI scan, this time all the way out at Broadgreen. Which, incidentally, is the hospital I was born in - after which, they closed the Maternity department :D
I was a breech birth, which is also relevant because grandson #2 is currently breech. The daughter has a range of options, including trying to turn him, leaving him as he is, and a C-section. The last is, of course, the most drastic and she wants to avoid it if possible. At her last scan, he was playing with his feet, which is sooo cute <3
After getting my new mattress settled (thank you, son-in-law), I decided it deserved new bedding. The stuff we were using is still serviceable but it's OLD. I spent more than I intended but a) it's all ethical (including silk sheets made from eucalyptus and bamboo!) and b) I got a windfall from work to help with the cost of living crisis, which has actually paid for the bedding. A bedspread is on its way. And I'm going to make my own linen spray, when my funky spray bottle arrives. I'm thinking of using the fabric from the old bedding to make a couple of rag dolls - when I can find a nice enough pattern.
Another week off work beckons but definitely includes medical appointments and probably includes cleaning. Hopefully, we'll have some nice days when we can get out just for walks, too.
Here's hoping 2023 is a kinder year.
