Monday Mish Mash showing up late on Tuesday

I cannot believe it is the middle of May already!  What happened to April?   And for that matter January, February and March?  This half of the year seems to have just whooshed by and it doesn't show any signs of slowing the pace.

We've had another busy weekend.  My Dad turned 80 years old on Saturday.  I can hardly believe it.  My mind does not compute that he is 80.

We threw him a surprise coffee party in his condo building and he seriously had no clue and was totally shocked.  Which totally cracked us up because there were so many clues that something was not quite normal,  not the least of which was me showing up out of the blue at 9 in the a.m. insisting to play pool.  In everyday life this would NEVER happen.  Not the playing pool thing, but the 9 a.m. thing.

No matter how early, it was fun and a nice surprise for my Dad.  BTW, don't you just love the "1960's" editing on the pic.  Funny how I hated it way back then but love it now for certain pictures.

My youngest would have had her end of year orchestra concert on Saturday too, except she ended up having to pass as she was pretty ill.  She went to the practice but just couldn't handle it.  She has now missed 3 days of school which is really scary because her school is on the quarter system rather than the semester system.  Which basically means missing one day is like missing three.  She'll have a lot of catching up to do.  Another doctor appointment Monday night, another doctor appointment today and we walked out with a referrel to an ear specialist.  Also today.

Not much fun that ear specialist.  After a pretty painful visit we walked out with yet another prescription, our fifth in as many days and another appointment for Thursday.  Can I say I am tired. I can't imagine how this poor kid feels especially with this being Day four of regular doses of Tylenol 3.   I just want to do what this guy is doing.  As I'm sure she does.
