Yesterday I learned that gas goes bad - evidently. All the lawn mower place could find wrong with my mower was I had bad gas, they drained the gas, put fresh gas in and the mower worked just fine. I was able to pick up my mower yesterday morning and got it out of Dad's trunk on my own. I had some other errands to run and then headed down to the hospital to pick up Dad to come home with me so he could pick up some more things and take his car back to the hospital - I had his car since Thursday night when I had taken him down to stay with Mom.
I had planned to go to the ladies night out our church had planned but between running errands, needing to mow the lawn and some other things it just didn't work out - poo. If I hadn't mowed the lawn yesterday I would have had to mow it today and again I don't like doing that on Sunday and there was no way I wanted to come home Monday after 6:00 p.m. (my first day at my new job) and then mow. Good news was I only saw one snake and it was a baby - bad news I saw one snake so I'll be calling the pest people again.
And last night one time when Butler went down on his behind when he didn't have good footing he must have ripped one of the two sutures out that was holding his bed sore/hole in place because he started bleeding. I got the bleeding under control - it wasn't too bad - and put a bandaid on him. This morning I checked it and saw there was a small hole so I'll probably take him to the emergency animal hospital in a little while to have them put more sutures in to close the hole so it can finish healing.
I went back down to the hospital last night to take Dad his laundry I had done yesterday and while I was there my uncle/his brother called my cell phone so it worked out they could talk and Dad gave my uncle the phone number to Mom's room. Mom is doing so/so. She's not eating a lot. She's pretty tired - a lot could still be due to recovering from the seizure Thursday night. Tomorrow they are going to biopsy a spot on her lung - I wish they would have done this last week when I wasn't working so I could be there with Dad during the test......we found out about the biospy late Friday afternoon.
I've gotten things together to take to my new job tomorrow (a couple of things for my desk) but need to decide what to wear and get it ready. I'm really excited to start my job but a little emotional because Mike isn't here to be encouraging tonight, not here in the morning to wish me luck with a hug and kiss, and then won't be here tomorrow night for me to share all the scoop of my first day. Butler's going to get an earful. And it will be interesting to see how Butler does being alone all day - it's been since early February since then. I think I'll be duct taping his Speedo around him tomorrow in case he can't wait until I get home without having an accident. I duct tape around the front of the Speedo to make it tight against him so he isn't able to "free Willy" like he had learned to do.....
