Around the house and garden... Halloween decorations springing up in the neighborhood for the big event on Wednesday night.
I am thinking... that I won't be able to go to the victory parade for the San Francisco Giants (who just won the World Series) this year because I have to go to work. Darn it!
I am thankful for... Paul's return home after Round 5 of chemotherapy. It feels so good to have him back in the house. He tolerates these treatments very well but really hates being in the hospital (and how can you blame him?)
From the kitchen... just a few prepared salads because our new hardwood floors are being stained and sealed, which makes it difficult to move about the house.
I am wearing ... pajamas.
I am hoping ... that Clara makes the basketball team at her new school. She went to tryouts today and really enjoyed herself. It would be such a great way for her to make friends and settle into her new environment.
I am reading... the final version of Henry's college essays. He's sent out five applications so far, and he has five more to go.
I am busy creating... not much! I really wanted to do some more things for a Dias de los Muertos altar, but I'm not sure we will have the living room reassembled in time. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I am hearing... the clicking of the keyboard as I get this weekly update out a day later than usual!
What are you up to right now?
great that Paul is home again. Love the photos warm colours
ReplyDeleteDon't blame Paul at all - home is always better than hospital even with the floors and rooms being done.
ReplyDeleteImpressive that C is trying out for sport teams already - hope she gets on.
Always busy at your place. Our clocks went back this weekend, which throws me out of sync and it gets dark far too soon.
ReplyDeletePleased you have Paul home. You are all coping so well around his chemo.
Lots of halloween decs around here too as the grandchildren are really into it this year.
Yes, I'm glad to hear that Paul is home again xx
ReplyDeleteOur clocks have gone back and it now gets dark so early in the evening!! The mornings are lighter, though, which is lovely...
All the best to Paul and to you Rinda.
ReplyDeleteWhat I am up to? Nothing fascinating: Going to have some lunch and try to rest a bit. xxx
Glad to hear Paul is home..hospital is no fun! Well done to Clara for throwing herself into things at the new school and to Henry for getting On with the applications...and of course to you for looking out for them all...take care of you in amongst it all!

So glad Paul is home. Keeping him in my prayers. Hope Clara made the team. As for me, I have been very busy taking boys to their school activities. I will be so happy when they get their license to drive.
ReplyDeleteGlad Paul is home...and good luck to Henry and Clara.
ReplyDeleteThe evenings are really dark here now the clocks have gone back....and there's more than a slight chill in the air!
Home is always best :)
ReplyDeleteIt's half term here and we are getting out and about, little bit of walking, little bit of shopping and some planning for my Mum's birthday party on Friday.
I'm catching up on blogs after being offline for 20 hours! ;) Glad Paul is home and doing well, good luck to Clara and Henry.
ReplyDeleteGlad Paul is home. Got my eldest son home for the evening which is lovely.
ReplyDeleteDelighted to hear of Paul's safe return, and how great that he tolerates the chemo so well. Hoping all goes well with those college applications too - a stressful time for you, what with the flooring too. Your photo is very cheering!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Paul us back home! I hope Clara makes the team. Does Henry have to write a different essay for each application? Do they give topics?
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear Paul is home. I don't envy you the college application process--it was a stressful time for us although it all worked out well in the end. I'm trying to keep up with a very busy 10 month old. We had a wonderful family weekend here.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear Paul is home Rinda :) We are getting use to the dark! I don't particularly like the clocks going back because I would rather have an extra hour of daylight at the end of my day, although I do enjoy the extra hour of time!
ReplyDeletePraying for Paul's speedy recovery! Hoping the college applications are successful. A lovely post Rinda x
ReplyDeleteSo pleased that you have Paul home, it is where you heal best. Love the little peak into your week Rinda.
ReplyDeleteHope you are OK Rinda you haven't posted for a few days.{{{{{{{{{{{{huggles}}}}}}}}}}}

That's a whole lot of stuff going on with you right now, sweet friend! I'm thinking of you and your family and sending prayers every day! xo
