Hi lovely.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I overdid it today. My father-in-law bought us a new bed, I think partially because he feels so helpless and wanted to do *something*. It was delivered today. So, I cleaned our bedroom good. Now I'm totally wiped, have a headache, cramping is back, blah, blah, blah.
Sounds like couch time with some tea and something to read, vw.
Or a nap in the new bed. (Your FIL, just from what I saw of him in your wedding pictures, seems 100% adorable and wonderful.)
I took a nap on the new bed for about an hour and have been on the couch since. I'm having this strange desire to color with colored pencils. So, I think I might stop and get a book when we go out for dinner.

I've found coloring to be very soothing. I hope it's that way for you.
Steph, my FIL is amazing. In all seriousness, he shouldn't be here. He got a blood infection right about the same time we got engaged. The only reason he was even able to come to the wedding was that his OT and PT came with him, bless them forever. And since the wedding, he's just been bound and determined to get better. They said he wouldn't live. Then they said he wouldn't go home. Then they said he wouldn't be able to live alone. Then they said he wouldn't be able to go back to work.
And here we are two years later, and he's still plugging along. It's really, truly amazing. He's amazing, and I love him dearly. We're having dinner with him tonight. It's the first time I've seen him since Patrick's birth. We're going to bring all the pictures and the treasure box we got from the hospital. I expect many tears.
Aw, vw, that's so wonderful!
Aw, vw, he sounds awesome. And I vote coloring -- like Steph, I find it very soothing.
You are so lucky that not only did you get Lloyd, who is all kinds of incredible all on his own, but also his family, who ALSO seem to be all kinds of incredible. That's so wonderful. I hope their love is helping you right now.
