‘No intentions but to waste some more…’

Time that is. Hmm… that title mad more sense in my head.
Just saw GAC for the 10 o’clock show. Nurses were friendly (new one, and I know, I said I wouldn’t care, but its nice that they’re friendly). Eaves was there.
GAC’s feet and right hand were doing better. Left still, blissfully, showing no signs of circulatory problems, which means she can keep drafting, drawing, writing, everything else. Woot!
Brain scan was taken with regards to the twitching, to make sure they weren’t seizures. They didn’t show seizure activity, but they twitching would kinda have to be happening to show anything, and they weren’t, so, there you go.
Brain activity was a little lower than normal. The nurse was quick to jump into the reasons why that’d be, but I think its OK. I don’t think GAC would pull through without that magna-intelligence she liked to joke about. She’s totally smarter than me, by a long shot. Reading at 3. IQ of like, I dunno, high. 3.9 GPA, which was –almost– done with.
All the rest of the stuff was hunky dory. I’m not doing numbers, because they’re not going down, and they’re not going up too fast.
Oh, yeah, White Blood Cell count was a little higher, like 28k, or something.
Don’t care. I really don’t.
I *think* she squeezed my hand, but she’s really deep in there, so it may have been a twitch. Its OK too.
When I left, her hand was squeezing ever so lightly to the tune of her pulse. It was welcome, just to have that pressure.
Its a beautiful day outside. My Accuweather bar in Firefox here says its sunny and 54, with a high of 72 expected. Perfect day for some arboretum.
Its picture day. I’m draggin the camera with me, and taking pictures. I’ll show you later.
“Wastin’ my time
Lord, wastin’ my time
No ambition but to waste some more
Wastin my time
Lord, wastin my time, wastin’ my time…
Passing me by, Lord, passing me by.
Time ain’t waitin’ just moving on.
Passing me by, Lord, passing me by.
Marble and stone.
Lord, marble and stone
I keep losin’ won’t never win.
Marble and stone, Marble and stone”
Eagles of Death Metal - Please Love Death Metal.
Its not death metal, tho. Thats the joke.
Later folks.
I love you, sweet girl.

She looked so good today, guys. There is so much joy and hope when we walk into her room. You can just feel it in the air.

It’s good to go to the arboretum. Get there often, AT.
Aunt Nun, are you really AT’s aunt and also a nun? Wow! I remember the first time I ever saw a nun. It was in a grocery store here in O.R. See, I grew up in upper east Tenn. There were hardly any catholics up there, much less nuns. :) Anyway to see a nun in the grocery store kinda made me stop pushing my grocery buggy for a moment. I was provincial back then.

Mrs. Eaves, that is really good to hear!
Hang in there, we’re not through praying yet!

Aunt Nun is in fact both an aunt and a nun. A karaoke-singing, non-habit-wearing, awesomest-ever full-fledged Canadian nun.

Wow - it is such a joy to read such wonderful news. Hang in there. Still praying for all of you.

Not only is Aunt Nun the awsomest stealth nun ever, she is also the Mother Superior for her region for the current term. (She has her own name for the post, but I’ll let her spill that bean if she wants to.)
Her main work, other than administration, has been with Habitat for Humanity, so we like to call her Sister Mary Black and Decker.
I hope that makes somebody laugh. We need more laughs around here. I’m sure Treecy will prescribe some if we need it.

Made me snicker, if that helps.

Yes, it does. You should make sure you do more of that.
