A bit busy

Well... Flarinerin bugged me the other day and called me a dirty slacker! She's mean!

I have been overly preoccupied of late. Work sucks! Boss sucks! Boss's lackey sucks! Grandpa is improving greatly, and I've been home only a few hours here and there over the past 3 weeks. So... I haven't posted, here is a short blurb with more to come on Monday!

Grandpa is greatly improving. We moved him to the RIO (Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon) clinic a couple weeks ago. They are really working him a lot. Up to 8 hours of rehab workouts per day. Including making him get up, take a shower, walk around, be grumpy and all that jazz. His speech is improving every time I visit him, though he tends to repeat things better than answer direct questions. Casual speech seems to be fine though. It is almost as if he has trouble thinking and producing the answer to the question. He at least KNOWS when he is wrong.

Tomorrow is my anniversary (or rather, in 20 minutes!) We will have been married for four wonderful years. We have planned a trip to Newport where we will be staying at Sylvia Beach Hotel (www.sylviabeachhotel.com) We have stayed there a number of times and always LOVE it. Dinner there is excellent and there can be some great stories. Even if the conversation is lacking, which is has been before, the food is beyond compare.

So... until Sunday, I am out of town. Enjoy your weekends everyone! And have a Safe 4th.
