AWWW MONDAY - WEEKEND MARCH 30

Linking to AWWW MONDAYS

**********

Saturday morning I spent with packing things for Mr. G which he needed in hospital and my friend Monique came and picked up the bag. I still can't go and visit him I am feeling too weak and I don't want to bring my microbes to the hospital. We called each other several times, he had a lot of visitors  and the physiotherapist had started to work with him just one day after his hip surgery and he had to sit in a chair. Isabelle my neighbor had done my shopping so that I had something to eat and I just rested the whole day. I thought I wouldn't be tired, but at 9 pm I fell asleep.

I had to change a few clocks and my watch, because we have switched to Summer time this night. I hope it will be the last time.

My son came again this weekend this time with wife and Toby. They didn't stay with me, I am still not running at 100 % and I am not a good company. They stayed with friends and came visiting me at home and I got a beautiful tulip bouquet which was so huge that three vases were needed to put them all in.

They didn't stay that long and then went back to the hospital to say good bye to Mr. G.

The rest of Sunday I watched TV and surfed a bit on Internet, I think I start to feel better. Tomorrow I will try to go out and finally visit my better half.

FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

This week seemed to me just like one very long day. Since Monday I am carrying myself from sofa to bed and the other way around. I had fever and felt so weak. On top of that Mr. G. had fallen out of his bed (again) but this time had broken his hip and was in hospital. No way to talk to him on Monday they must have given him medicine to knock out a bull he didn't answer the phone.

The nurses told me that he had spent an agitated night and had twaddled all night. But he does that also often even if he is "normal". This time it came from a very high fever. We could only wait for the fever to go down so they could fix his hip.

Each day I called first the nurses to get his news as I couldn't go there in my state then I called him, when he answered he thought we were in a train and wondered if it was the right on. I left him in his train and hoped for the best. My neighbor brought him things he needed and did the shopping for me. She is such an adorable girl and a nurse too. Yesterday and today when I called him he was his old self and I was so relieved. Having a crazy husband is the worst which can happen. So it seems that I don't have to follow him into the train or do some shopping in the supermarket.

As a united family my son had caught the flu too and had to stay home. Only the cats seem to have escaped !

Today he was finally operated and I got the first news in the afternoon. Everything was OK, there were no problems and he is now in a room to wake up completely. My "nurse" was there and did everything for me and now we have to wait until the Weekend is over  when he will be transferred into a rehabilitation center. The worst is over !! I hope that my flu will be gone by then.

It doesn't happen very often that I have a writing blockage and my head is completely empty. I am stuck at home with a flu, a real one and there is nothing to do but taking paracetamol and drink a lot of water. The fever is gone fortunately, but I feel very weak. Mr. G. is now in isolation ward the fever has gone down but by falling out of his bed he has broken one hip ! It was not the first time that he fell out of his bed and I had fixed a barrier so that he couldn't fall out, but of course after a while he had taken it off, pretending that now he wouldn't fall out again !

Unfortunately I didn't listen and insist that he keeps the barrier, and now it's too late ! I don't know yet when he will be operated because there are some check ups to be done. The worst is that I can't go to the hospital because I am sick myself. Fortunately we have lot of good friends and everybody offers his help. For the moment we can't do anything but wait. My son calls everyday the hospital too. The poor guy has also flu hopefully it's only a cold !  That he stayed home he must feel very bad.

WEEKEND NOVEMBER 3

What a lousy weekend ! My friend Chantal and I wanted to go to the most famous animal Park "Pairi Daiza in Belgium which had been voted" Best Zoo" in Europe

MY WEEKEND OF NOVEMBER 15

It is seldom that I catch a cold or a flew, but this time I got it with all accessories, and I feel as if I can't live or die, which of course makes me very grumpy !

Mr. G. gets on my nerves because all 5 min he asks me if I need something, which I don't and when I need something he doesn't hear me because of his built in ear plugs ! He also asks me all the time if I feel better, which I don't which makes me angry too.

If somebody calls to ask me how I feel and wishes me all the best, it is mostly in the moments when I for once am fast asleep ! When nobody calls it's not good either I feel forgotten and think that nobody loves me. In short, I am unbearable !



and that's all his fault !

Please forgive me if I mix up comments and find a flower beautiful and the picture represents a horse !!

Today on November 17,  is our grandson's 4th birthday ! Years fly by so quickly. We celebrated this event  last weekend here in Waterloo, this weekend he celebrated with his Dutch family. Anyway even if we would have had to go there it would have been impossible.




3 years went by



and now he became a little boy ! He will leave the creche and go to school from today on ! What a big step in his life !

WHAT DID YOU DO THIS WEEKEND ?

Helps you to remember what you have done on the weekend of 10 December
If you participate please put the little logo on the top of your post and leave your link.

Our son had made a flying visit to Waterloo, to pick up some furniture he had left in our basement and needed now for his new house. We only saw him for a few hours, and then he disappeared again. But we will go to Amsterdam on Christmas.

In the afternoon there was the exposition of the paintings my painting group had done about the theme "Les misérables" from Victor Hugo. The exposition was organized by the city and all what I can say the paintings were not "miserable" but the exposition definitively was.



In this large building were exposed pictures painted by children and from our painting group. But the place is so huge, that the paintings looked really lost. There was no sign at the entrance to the exposition, so that each time I saw somebody approaching I had to shout : "It's here" because besides the entrance was a sign with an arrow "the entrance is at the end of the building" ! But this was the entrance to the offices ! We were 3 to watch over the paintings and finally had 11 visitors in the whole afternoon. People just didn't know. We all were very disappointed.



and to pass the time, we tried to amuse ourselves, here with posing in the 150 years old fashion, somebody had sewed.




Fortunately just besides the building was the Waterloo Christmas market under a big white tent, so I made a tour and then my "classmate", but there was nothing special either. A little ice skating for the children and a lot of hot red wine to drink and lots of specialities to eat. Probably because of the wine, people were very cheerful !

Sunday I woke up with a sore throat, a running nose and sneezing and feeling lousy. Mr. G. in his generosity had given his cold to me !




I didn't thank him, instead I stayed most of the day in my bed and regretted that I don't have a suit like the one above. With pink socks of course.

Lots of people have a cold for the moment, and I hope it won't last too long. The only one really happy about this was cat Rosie as she took the "nurse" job over.
