G'day folks. I'm having a few computer problems again.
A full day today, but not too bad.
First - an early departure to take easy child 2/difficult child 2 to her new specialist to discuss the surgery. She has CIN III on the cervix but this doctor said not to worry, it will be easily removed with a high chance of getting it all with no further problems. He talked her into having the procedure done in his rooms under local - it had been scheduled a few weeks ago to be done under general, but the anaesthetist chickened out because of a possible bleeding disorder. Only the other day, easy child 2/difficult child 2's blood tests at last showed she doesn't have the bleeding disorder so the risks are now much less. SIL2 had been panicking about the general anaesthetic for his wife so he will feel happier. easy child 2/difficult child 2 was anxious about the procedure being done under local, but the doctor was really reassuring. So it was a very productive appointment.
After that I stayed out on the mainland as I had a meeting to follow, but I catnapped in the car while I waited. The meeting went well, I catnapped again on the way home.
Tomorrow is another full day. I have a naming day for a friend's baby; the monthly artists' open day is on; the next village has its annual art and craft fair (always worth a visit - the artwork is often on display right out into the bay, you either walk out or wade out to look at it, depending on the tide). Then in the evening we've got tickets to "Fame!" in the city. difficult child 3 is determined that he will hate it, but we will see how he feels afterwards. We'll need to organise dinner for ourselves (usually afterwards). We usually eat at a favourite Chinese restaurant in the city, but difficult child 3 currently hates Chinese food so that could be a problem.
I'm looking forward to it all, even though it will be challenging to try to fit it all in. The local artists day - as long as I get to visit one particular artist, I will be happy. We missed last month's, we were away in the country for my niece's wedding.
Weather - it's been cool and wet. Not heavy rain (not everywhere), just a persistent drizzle. My garden loves it and while I'm so busy I don't really care. At least I'm not missing out on beach weather where I would feel resentful at not being able to get to the beach. But on the radio this morning they were discussing giving a name to this mixture of spring and winter - "sprinter" was suggested. I think, given the amount of rain, we should consider "sprinkle".
difficult child 3's exams begin on Monday. He had to get his own anti-anxiety medications today from the pharmacy, since I was out of the village during opening hours. And he did it - a first for him!
Enjoy your Saturday, whatever your weather.
