Not too much going on

My sister came to visit me today, along with my niece (Dina) and nephew (Tyler) and nephew's dog (Shamer). Shamer ran with my dogs and had a good time. He is a town dog so he doesn't get this space very often. He is a Schnauzer only he is a GIANT Schnauzer. I have never seen a giant schnauzer before and man, he is cute! My Dolly is a miniature schnauzer and it is just funny to two dogs that look the same but are so different in size. Shamer is nearly as big as Zeus, and Zeus is a huge dog (Great Pyrenees).

My sister got pretty pooped pretty fast so they didn't stay long but it was really nice to see them. My sister is trying really hard to help my mom now too so it's a lot for her to take on. She has chemo and radiation and then she wants to drive to be with my mom for her appointments too yet.

My mom is having surgery on Tuesday and she decided that she is staying in her town to do it for now. After surgery will come CT scan, chemo, and radiation. She is scared, I think, but wants to get it all over with instead of thinking too much.

Matt left to work for a few days at the plant on the other side of the state. They're having issues and they think he can fix the problem. Will be nice for him to do that and be able to feel good about it, but I hate being without him too. He said in the hotel it is so quiet he can't relax. Nothing like having 5 kids around!!

I am doing well. Feeling good etc... Just wishing the rest of my family was too. I guess I can thank God that I am feeling good while others are ill because if I was sick too I would be really miserable for sure.

I have an interview with a writer from O magazine on Friday. That would be really cool to get an article into such a huge magazine!!! She has PCOS and wants to do a very "meaty" article about it.

I hope you all have a wonderful week and weekend!
