It's A Busy Good Friday

These past 2 weeks have alternately flown by and dragged by. We are up and running on are new Cyber Ren EMR and we are all loving it. The staff have done an amazing job of picking up the new system and continuing to dialyze without missing a beat. TJ has been a lifesaver from helping me enter all the data to setting up all the computers in the education room for training to knowing the system inside and out. The Doc has been supportive and he understands and uses the system as well as the trainers. So all in all it has been a good experience just very long. For now we are on our own and our wonderful rep and trainer Ulrich is back in Canada. Guess time will tell if we have all the kinks and bugs worked out
So long intro into why I decided to stay home today. I am exhausted. I have done very little for the Easter dinner at my house this Sunday. So here I am cleaning and doing laundry and trying to decorate. I still haven't come up with anything special for Mr A and Ms S. Got to get my thinking cap on. Definitely no yarn maze this year so guess I best get busy.
I splurged and bought myself my birthday, Mother's Day, Christmas and whatever else I can think of present. I am loving it beyond even my own expectations. The Kindil 2 is now residing in my house. Still learning all the bells and whistles but have 6 books I have downloaded and am in the process of reading.

Starting to decorate a little. I taped my Easter ATC cards to skewers and then stuck them in this flower arrangement. The Easter plastic eggs just got thrown in there not sure they will stay. I was picking them up as I had dumped them all over the floor so was trying to get them up and out of the way.

More Easter bunnies. A lot of these I picked up at the flea markets

House of 3 Easter download. I printed these on glassine bags so not sure yet if they are ever going to dry. Plan to put treats in them for Easter

New nutcups I made with fabric bunnies. This was a kit from Little Pink Studio

So back to cleaning and laundry I go. Tomorrow is groceries and getting things lined up for dinner Sunday
Had a nice long visit with Colleen. She is having a grand time babysitting and is feeling a whole lot better. Finally found some cough medicine that is working
Off to work I go

Final Goodbyes

Image
It has been a gut wrenching sad and emotional two months for the Struchen's. We have said our final goodbyes with many tears, laughter, sadness and breaking hearts. Dad passed on Feb 25th and now Mom has joined him on March 10th.  We knew Mom was very ill but none of us expected that she would go so very quickly. And now as my sister says we are orphans.  We are still family but right now without Dad and Mom to bring us and keep us all together as they had worked so hard to do all these years. As I had written on Caring Bridge Dad was our hero, our mentor our DAD.  It is so hard to realize there are no more early am text messages or emails  no more 4pm Sunday phone calls.  There is a giant void in my heart Mom seemed to think she always took a back seat to Dad.  But she was always there to help us, give us strength hold us to a higher standard.  "We Struchen women are tough" she used to tell me when I was needing a listening ear.  "You c...

Where did the weekend go????

Image
It doesn't seem to matter if I have 3 days off or a normal Saturday & Sunday off, it is never ever enough. Here it is already 7pm and I am getting ready for work tomorrow. Last early day and then back to the old routine. So what did I accomplish this weekend?? not too much as far as the home front goes. Just the usual laundry and clean but no yard work. Now on the creative level I had a great inspiring weekend. I rode to Payson with Earleen and Annette on Sat am for a class by the 2 gypsy girls Debbie and Paula . I had my doubts I could construct a house that would stand. Due the patience of the 2 Gyspsie Girls my house is still standing today:) I loved this class. The roof holds the little album and the clever use of the 7 Gypsy elastics made the page signatures so easy. After class we joined Annette and her family at their reunion. Invited crashers we were. We feasted on Alaskan Salmon thank you Robert and all the yummy goodies from a reunion. A couple of q...
