Penny for the Guy

For all my buddies in the UK (and anywhere else where they celebrate Guy Fawkes Day) -- hope you have a good one and that there are lots of good fireworks!!!  Mum was telling me all about when she was a kid in London this time of year.  So, Princess Leah (and anyone else) enjoy!!!

This has been a kinda hectic week for mum!!!  On Tuesday she had a doctor's appointment, then she went shopping at the mall.  One nice thing that happened -- while she was waiting for the paratransit van, this woman came over and handed mum a $20 bill.  When mum asked her why, the lady said that "God had told her to"!!!!  She and mum got talking, and mum mentioned about my sickies, and the lady took mum's hand and prayed for me!!!!!  That made the rest of mum's day a little better!!!  Her van was about an hour late picking her up, so instead of getting home between 4 and 4:30, she did not get home until 6 pm!!!!  She had been gone since about 9 am (and since she still could not take me with her, she gave me a nice marrow bone before she left), so she was really tired, hungry and cranky by the time she got home.  Yesterday she had to have the stitches in her eyelids removed.  Again, she had a problem with the van being late (Tuesday she knew the driver and knew that it was not his fault, but the fault of the scheduling/routing -- which sometimes can be really crazy; but Wednesday it was definitely the driver).  Not only was he more than 10 minutes after his "late window", but when he left our complex, he almost turned the wrong way to go to the doctor's office!!!  Mum was really angry because she had to direct him how to get there.  She always tells the schedulers that her appointment is 15 minutes earlier than it actually is -- this usually gets her there with time to relax while signing in, etc.  This time she got there with about 2 minutes to spare!!!  It really hurt when the dr took the stitches out -- they had been in for 2 weeks, so some of them were kind embedded!!!!  She is much more comfortable now though!!!  She did not take me with again cos she was gonna walk home -- about 3 or 4 miles, and she didn't want to have me walk that far yet!!  Not long after she got home, the doorbell rang, and it was the BIIIG delivery from Chewy!!!  Krista is coming today and will unpack it all!!

Mum says she is gonna take it easy today -- although we do have to go to Uncle Vic's after Krista comes -- it is not to far to get there, and I can relax with Coco when I get there!!  But tomorrow she has to go to the (hopefully) new attorney.  They want her to bring her old wheelchair -- the one that caused the accident -- and she HATES that one!!

Well, mum wants another cup of coffee and she hasn't given me my medicine yet (I still sometimes give her a hard time with it -- bol), so I will catch up in a couple of days when I get her to take some more picshers!!
