Here it is Monday, after the CNY weekend. So the CCAA is open again! Hopefull this means that we'll see referrals very soon. I'm still thinking it will be the end of next week, around March 8, but if it's sooner I'll be very happy. In the meantime, I'll write about the last few days.
Friday I went in for a mammogram. Not the yearly one, but almost. It was just a month earlier because I ahd told the lady at the hospital that I was having some pain. She got all excited and said I needed to come in sooner than I had planned. So okay, I wasn't really nervous because I've had this type of pain for years, but it has gotten more frequent and more intense. Turns out that there's nothing wrong with me related to that, but they did find some calcification. The tech said that randomly scattered calcification is normal, but they get concerned when it's clustered because it's an indication of precancer. So that scared me a little bit. The radiologist talked to me and told me that these were comma shaped, and because of that she was 99% sure that they weren't a problem, but just in case they want me to come back in 6 months. I can do that. I'm still not overly concerned, but will definitely go back in August like they want me to.
So over the weekend, we went shopping at TJ Max. I needed a new rolling computer bag because the wheel of my old one blewout. It would cost too much to get it fixed. Anyway, we found a nice Wenger bag for $70, AND what I really got excited about is a beautiful silk diaper bag for Grace. It is really nice, lined in plastic, many compartments and a pullout diaper pad. All for only $20! DH wasn't near as excited as I was, and he said "What if Grace doesn't wear diapers?". I told him I'm sure I could find someone to give it to, like one of my 5 nieces that are having babies over the course of the next several months. I love it! It can be carried as either a shoulder bag or a back pack. So that's my big purchase for Grace - we now have bought her two things. A size 2T winter coat and a diaper bag.
Speaking of buying things for Grace, we were contacted by AHH telling us that we had to agree to accept a child anywhere between the ages of 6 months and 5 years old. So it's really hard to buy anything yet. But most likely by April, we'll know how old she is and can start being better prepared.
Saturday night we went to church, and then had our usual monthly Eukre night with friends. This month was at our neighbor's house. Next month will be at our house. We had a really good time visiting and playing cards. Sunday DDs had two friends come over. They entertained each other most of the day with DDR, Nintendo and just hanging out. We made chocolate chip cookies and they gave each other facials. So they definitely had a good day. We watched the Oscars last night. Although I enjoyed watching, it got boring after awhile so we turned it off and went to bed.
Today was mostly good. We found out that my FIL went into the hospital on Friday because of pneumonia. He seemed to be doing ok, and thought he'd be coming home yesterday. DH talked to him and my MIL today, and neither were too worried. Then my SIL called and said that her mother called her to tell her her dad was causing problems at the hospital. He apparently is confused and walking into other patients' rooms bothering them. My MIL said she couldn't control him, and asked that DH came to the hospital to help. So DH is on his way there now. We're waiting to hear more from him later. My FIL is 83. DH thinks he won't be with us this coming Christmas. It sort of looks that way right now, but you just never know. I pray that God will take care of him and my MIL.
