Just some rambling

Hey all,

My great-aunt is still alive, although barely. She hasn't eaten anything anymore since Sunday. We do give her something to drink, but it's nothing then a few drops on her lips. The hospital said that given her something in a glas will have the risk tha it gets into her lungs instead of somewhere else resulting in many more problems. So, she's only getting a little bit to drink. Due to this she's a bit disoriented. I was in the hospital yesterday to check on her. She was just turned on her other side and it caused her pain. I could see that in her eyes. And she doesn't like it when someone's leaving. She had tears in her eyes when I left yesterday. It was a tough thing to do, but I knew James was waiting for me at home. Today he's going to sport, so he'll be home later. That means I can stay in the hospital longer. I know she likes the company, although she can't say it anymore. She does express it with her eyes.

This situation is a little strange. I'm waiting for the phone call in which they tell my great-aunt has died or that it's going to happen soon. In the meantime I'm at work and doing the normal things. It's weird.......

I have done some scrapping last weekend and this week. I'll show the pictures tonight. I'm finally getting through all my roles of photos. I have four more roles to go and then a few more photos of the role I'm working with now. I don't think I'll have it done by the time we go to Switzerland, but I hope I will have done the major part of it. And I AM taking my photocamera to Switzerland. I can't just not do it, while it's a country where I've never been before! Okay, its just for five days, but still.......

I've weight myself this morning again. I haven't been paying much attention to what I'm eating,w ith the result that I've gained a few kilo's again. I weigh 78,5 kilo's now. It's not good, I now that. So I'm gonna keep up with my eating diary again. Also I want to look for menu that will contribute to lossing weight and not undermining my health. And I've started weighing everything for diner. This has two effects:
1: I won't make more then we eat, which makes a difference in the costs.
2: I can make sure we do eat enough of everything we need to eat.
I'm gonna make more changes, but I don't know what yet. I'll let you know.......

Talk to you later!
