What a week!

Well, it's been a while... and I didn't mean for that to happen but things have been a little nutty for me and for my family.

First of all, Joel's grandfather passed away last Wednesday... and I had even started an entry that day but things were so crazy that day that I didn't even finish it.

I'm sure that it's somewhere on here and I can finish it but it wouldn't make any sense.

But after battling with dialysis for over 10 years, his grandfather just passed suddenly on Wednesday morning. It was a sad day but we all know that he isn't suffering any longer... which is something that none of us wanted for him anymore.

Thankfully Mayalis met him but it will be something else if she remembers him later in life, hopefully she will remember sharing crackers with her great-grandfather when she was little. 

Me... well, that's a whole other situation. I contracted a virus that became a huge problem for me - and thankfully only me! My hands, feet and face were full of sores. It was painful to walk and because of the sores on my feet, I was unable to join Joel at the burial of his grandfather, which totally hurt me because I wanted to be there for him. I was happy that I was able to go to the wake with him. 
We even went out to eat with some of the cousin's afterwards to Chinatown since we were all starving!
The last time we were all together like that was when we left the wake for his grandmother.
We need to stop getting together for only deaths and start getting to know each other outside of those terrible moments. Hopefully it will happen.

So I had a 5 day weekend and I wasn't able to enjoy it as much as I wanted to but it was a lot of time spent with the princess and hubby... and I loved every minute of it.

The hubby and mom both taking care of me... it was great! Just so bad that I was as bad as I got but thankfully the sores are drying up and going away. Hopefully I won't have any scars on my face.

Tomorrow I will be taking the princess to see her doctor... this little "no-eating" situation with Mayalis is starting to get out of hand. The only real thing she had yesterday was her breakfast of boiled eggs. This cannot continue... I actually think that she has lost weight. Her energy has somewhat decreased a bit and that is not good.
And she hasn't been sleeping very well either; she starts to cry while she's still asleep. And because of it

All this is starting to really scare me... So tomorrow afternoon I will be taking her little jibara butt to the doctors... and hopefully he will check her out. She hasn't had a real physical in a very long time.

Then next Wednesday, the 17th, I have my appointment with the fertility doctor. 

My little monthly friend came again this month... and caught me by surprise very early Sunday morning - like 3:30am! I wasn't expecting it until November, but welcome my little friend (or is it fiend?). LOL!!

On another note, things for me are starting to open up and I am seeing things so differently now... the past week has really shown me a lot of things and I am blessed to have the people I do have in my life and I am happy with the way that things are moving along.

Hopefully before the end of the year things start to become more clearer and start fitting into the places that they should be in; not just for me, but for the sanity of my family. LOL!
