Wednesday

It was a really nice day today. Izzy and I went for a long walk this morning and stopped at the park. We met a group of people at the park that get together and have a play day once a week in a local park. They invited me to join them with Izzy and attend future play days. I think I am going to start attending. It was nice having Izzy play with other kids. A few of the ladies are teachers, so that was nice. After awhile we walked home, had lunch and took a nice two hour nap. In the afternoon we played out front, had dinner, and went for another long walk. After Izzy went to sleep, I laid out in the family room with the dogs and watched "Pinks" on the Speed Channel. A quiet night and I was in bed by midnight.

It hasn't changed!

I went over to my In-Laws today and it still looks like they just moved in yesterday. They've been in the house for almost five years and it packed with boxes. I wouldn't have been able to find a place to sit down, it's so full of stuff. It's not a safe place at all for Izzy, which is too bad. She'll never be able to go visit her Grandparents. In the morning we went for a two hour walk and then played at the park for about an hour. Lunch, then a two hour nap. I love to nap! The afternoon was spent playing in the water. Dinner and a bedtime story.

Home Alone with Izzy for the week!

Debbie and Britty left this morning for Walla Walla, WA. Britty has been offered a chance to play college softball and a full ride scholarship at Walla Walla College. Walla Walla College is a Seventh Day Adventist College in South Eastern Washington. Debbie and I have talked about moving to Walla Walla, WA. before so we can get out of the rat race in Southern California. Personally I don't think it's going to happen but it's nice to dream about it. They are staying in Bend, OR. tonight and driving the rest of the way Tuesday. On to what with Izzy and I. We took a two hour walk around the neighborhood this morning and stopped at the park to play for awhile. Then home to read a story, play out front with Kimmie and Aubrey and a long nap. Lunch and Dinner turned out well but I have to say that she sure is a messy eater. We went to Stater Brothers for a free cookie and grocery shopping. She went to sleep about 8:00 PM and I laid in the family with the dogs and read, Linux Magazine and National Geographic. Now off to sleep.

Getting over disappointment

I'm having a hard time getting over what happened today. It just seems like everyone was so busy with things lately that it seemed that they didn't really care about Father's Day. I think that maybe Debbie cared, but she has just been overwhelmed with everything happening. Work, Sports, Britty, and Izzy. I'm just going to have to move on and get over it. I'll do something nice for myself with Izzy this week. More effort was made for other things.

Fathers Day

Nothing to really write about. Debbie did get me a nice picture of Izzy and I and that was nice. Britty of course didn't do a thing about it, but she didn't do anything for Mothers Day. Debbie and Britty are leaving for a trip to Walla Walla, WA. Britty is going to look at the SDA College. It'll be nice and quiet for awhile. Izzy and I will hangout. Sorry this is so short, but to be honest I'm alittle disappointed with today. I guess I'm the smallest cup. I still remember that after all this time.

Sabbath

We attended church this morning. then went and had breakfast at Bob's Big Boy in Calimesa. It was awful, I've never had a more upsetting meal. I wasn't ready for that much grease. After that Debbie and I went and ordered the new wood laminate flooring for the house. It's going to look good when it is done. Britty and Debbie went to see Keith Urban in concert tonight in LA at the Staple Center. I'm tired and going to sleep.

Friday

I dragged all day yesterday after coming home from the Blood Bank. I gave a double yield of platelets and a single yield of plasma. It took alot out of me. Thursday evening I attended Britty's Softball awards party. She won a few awards and although I'm not much into sports, I am very proud of home much effort she put into pitching and home well she played. She's really worked hard at it. Today I went and had some Lab work done at Kaiser in Moreno Valley to check on my Kidneys. I have a genetic kidney disease called Renal Polycystic Kidneys. But I'm optimistic that things will work out for me in the future. I'd hope to be healthy until Izzy gets out of college. I did yard work the rest of the day and my yard sure looks nice. Everything is mowed, trimmed and weeded. I like my yard to look nice. It's important to me. I bbq'd some burgers and dogs for dinner tonight and Debbie's parents came over and ate dinner with us. Now it's time for me to get some sleep

My first day of Summer vacation

I didn't sleep well last night, it was too hot. I hope this Summer isn't going to be a hot one. I feel so tired right now, and I going to feel even worse later today. I have to be at the San Bernardino Blood Bank to donate platelets and plasma. I'll feel exhausted after that.

School is over!

It's time for me to catch up with blogging. I'll back date some postings to cover the last month and a half to let everyone know what has happened lately. Stay tuned over the next few days. Summer vacation for two months.
