Its been AGES since I have done a proper update, mostly dumping photos and such.
But…
I had good reasons for it… Sorta…
March was the Month of Appointments. And wasnt just a few throughout the month, oh no, there were 2-3 times per week that month. Plus a LOT of very early mornings for us not happy with dawn hours.
April was thankfully fairly calm. We had the kiddo focusing on his school stuff, and we working on just lowering our stress levels to something that didnt have me manic and sleep deprived.
May was sort of calm, at least for the first week. Then I began the Great House Cleaning to prepare for the arrival of Hurricane Mom. That coupled with my Burly classes AND eye appointments made me more stressed than I really needed to be.
On the eyeball front, I am sorta happy to report that surgery for either eye is not in my immediate future. I DO however have Coat’s Diease in my left eye, but its localized to the already damaged area, so as long as it doesnt spread, or cause me serious discomfort, we’re just going to leave it alone. The mystery mass under my right has been identified as a BENIGN fatty tumor, and again, no surgery needed at this point. I named it Mildread…
The THREE WEEK visit with Mom went as expected, lots of bonding with the kiddo. Which is the main reason for the visits, she and I have bonded as much as we are going to already lol. Plus we FINALLY got my Mom to meet and hang with Jelly Bean’s Mom and Step-Dad… I think they hit it off. I’m not sure.
June saw Jelly Bean and I at Calgary Tower to see Dr. Horrible live via Broadway West, which was spectacular and awesome. It was followed by dinner at Moxie’s, where we drank too much and had a lot of fun. We dont get to go out just us very much, so it was nice.
Mid-June had a week where everyday was SOMETHING. Eye test, blood work, Mom departing, our consult with the Fertility Clinic… Which made for a very tired Cupcake, who just wanted to sleep and eat a cookie.
So I have about two weeks currently that are hopefully going to be nice and relaxing, followed by mass insanity with the kiddo’s FIFTH birthday on the 18th, followed by two weeks of swimming lessons and a week of day camp.
And at some point my Sis-in-Law is going pop out another baby (my NINTH niece/nephew to date), and of course I must being corrupting it early on.
Oh, and my mother is returning at the end of Aug for another 2 weeks, courtesy of me. I might be a glutton for clutter or something. But hey, shes my mom. Its worth it.
