Head Split

Well, I was awaken with a big thump and a yell "OW" at 3:15am in the morning.  I sprang up because I knew Craig hurt himself.  He was laying on the floor beside the bed.  I was helping him up when I saw a pile of blood on the carpet.  I knew right there he split open his head.

I immediately put some peroxide on his head and then have him sit on the sofa to apply pressure on his head.  I then called 911 and the ambulance came within 20 minutes.

I had followed the ambulance behind them to the hospital and waited int he waiting room until my name is to be called.

He ended up having 11 staples in the back of his head and luckily there wasn't any broken bones in the xray.  I was hoping they would check out his skull in case it was injured but they didn't think it was necessary.

The reason why I am tired. Ugh

I'm one of those people who is a very light sleeper.  So lately Craig has been waking up several times a day, getting out of bed and coming back to bed.  Each time he gets out of bed or return to bed he wakes me up.  Its pretty frustrated because I need my sleep.  I end up sleeping on the sofa in the middle of the night to keep me from waking up by him.

I hadn't worked out this week as I couldn't be bothered with it.  I have been just so tired and don't feel like working out.  I do some jogging but that's about it.  I miss working out with my resistant bands but my body has not been up for working out.

Belated Easter

Forgotten to post on Easter Sunday.

Funny that I forgotten about Easter was this past weekend.  I thought it was this coming weekend.  Craig and I would had gone over to my sister's house in Connecticut to spend a few days.

We ended up not doing much.  I cleaned up the apartment and did a load of laundry.  I also did my jogging and some burpees and thats about it.

Dinner was nice. We had some Pork Sirloin, brown rice and mixed veggies which was nice. For afternoon drink we had a shot of Amore.

Ireland vs. Connecticut

So we were thinking about moving again.  I wanted to move to Northern Ireland and be close to my relatives.   I missed how things used to be when I used to live there in the 90s for 9 years.  I felt safe even though there was riots at night, but I never went out at night so it didn't bother me.  Also would give me the chance to get free medical as well.

But then we thought about Connecticut because my family are around that area.  My stepfather just turned 80 years old this week, which made me think about my mother's age as well.  Who knows how much time they have left in their life.  I thought it might be a wise idea to live closer to them.  It would give my mother the chance to come visit us as well.  She only went out to my sister's house, so if we move to Connecticut she could come see us as well.  She kept telling us she must come up to see us, but she's been saying that for years.  So at least if we move to Connecticut she would have another place to come visit.

Right now we are looking around for apartments in Connecticut so we just might be moving that way instead of Ireland.  I guess we could always visit Ireland whenever we want to when the funds are there for us.

Am I sad that I would miss out this opportunity to move to Ireland right now?  Sure I miss it.  I miss my friends and relatives as well.  But that could come later on I suppose.  I would like to settle down there some day.  But only time could tell.

A visitor

Earlier this week we had a really nice visitor coming over.  It was Craig's mother who he hasn't seen in 20 years and was my first time seeing her before.  She only was going to say for a few days.  We had to pick her up at Burlington Airport which was like and hour and fifteen minutes from home.  I enjoyed her company.  She could talk.  It was really nice to see them two reunited again as they lost touch with each other for a long time.

We went to the Rochester Cafe where Craig and I go often.  Nice food there.  We also went to Woodstock to walk around and have a bite to eat for lunch.  Its been a few months since Craig and I went into Woodstock.  Its a nice small town.   We plan on going there again.  There was a time during her stay that we wanted to take her to the Doc's Tavern which one of our friends owned and a hotel as well.  Of course the time we wanted to go there, it was closed.  We ended up going to the Rochester Cafe again for a bite to eat at the very last minute.  I think we were the last customers there.

There were times that I got nervous on driving all over the place.  But she was really enjoying the drives which is a good thing.   I didn't want to feel like I was a party pooper.  We wanted to show her a good time during her stay.  Most of the nights they stayed up late catching up on alot of things while I went to bed early.  I thought it was good to let them have alone time with each other.

She was happy and delighted to hear all the good things that I had been doing to take care of Craig.  Later on the week I was told that she liked me, which was nice to hear.

We have a box ready for her 3 blankets which I had made, one of them for her grandson and the other two was for her.  I also added a few booklets of crocheting as well as crocheting hooks and some nutcrackers because we found out she loves nutcrackers.
