May 2 & 3

Day 79 & 80
"Oh the weather outside is frightful..." That says it all. I can't tell you how many times I checked my tires to see if I have flats, the wind has been terrible to drive in. We got a bit of rain to settle the dust for a while, but it didn't last too long.
I have my own PC back. Colin brought it back and hooked it up on Wednesday sometime. I can get my email, and the addresses are there, so I'm forwarding some things that have been on hold for a while. My mailbox should be cleaned out, too, so I'm back online.
Glenn has been in good humour the last few days. I guess they gave him some sleeping pills, but the key to recovery is sleep, so I can't complain. He isn't groggy or hungover, so they have the dosage figured pretty well. He does have quite a list of medicines. We were also told that the botox clinic will be held next week, so that will probably mean Glenn will get his injections then. His arm won't be limp, it will just loosen those big muscles enough to enable the therapists to straighten his arm and start extending his range of motion in it. Hopefully once the botox is gone, his arm will be moving properly on its own.
We haven't had too many visitors, as most people are on the land. We've enjoyed a bit of alone time, and I'm happy to say that his humour is totally intact. It's amazing to me. He can handle the computer better, so we have been writing notes to each other like a couple of kids. It makes the nurses nervous when we laugh about something they haven't heard or seen us do. That's OK, they don't need to know everything.
Jackie has been sick again with a nasty cold. She just can't seem to shake it, but spring air will help out. We are supposed to ship out the peas, but the weather and equipment is making us work out a few bugs. The weekend sounds better, so maybe I can get some boys with a little more know-how help get some vehicle moving around here. If not, Jackie and I will keep working on the tractors. The lawnmower is buried under the combine pickup, behind the big tractor. Man, guess who put it there? I keep telling myself that perseverance builds character... I'm getting to be quite a character!
My sisters seem a little touchy about my birthday wishes for them. I was just being a good sister and remembering their special days are coming up too! Really, I wish them both many happy returns of their respective days. Where have the years gone? Too many camping trips I guess.
Glenn has a full day of therapy today, and Dale and his girl have something planned for me this evening, so I guess I better get started on the day.
'Til next time,
Louise
