Sister Visited

Well where do I start with today? The baby alarm (aka the toddler) went off at 8am and then into her mum's bed as daughter is tired having worked 'til 11.30 pm last night. I got up as I couldn't go back to sleep, cleared the kitchen, showered, fed the dog - the usual morning run. At 10 am just when I was going to take the dog out my sister rang sounding depressed. She was on the phone for ages and then came to visit. Apparently she can't go on the kidney transplant list for 4 years after they removed her cancerous kidney because she is on medication for kidney failure which can cause another cancer!! So they have to be sure she is OK before they will let her have her niece's kidney even though her niece is a perfect match and is very willing to donate. She has to stay on dialysis for another 1 1/2 years, as her other kidney was very small and has now packed up completely. Well she stayed for 3 hours which pretty much took up all the spare time I had left before going to the groomers, so the bedroom mountain of paperwork is still there and waiting.

I've had a haircut!

After my sister left it was off to the groomers for the dog to get washed and clipped. She is a lovely person and only 21 yrs old with her own business, which she started last year.  I chose her as she used to go out with my daughter's ex boyfriend's brother and I know she genuinely really loves all dogs. She cut it really short this time which is exactly what I wanted as the dog hates all grooming and it is difficult to keep it knot free with her curly coat. This is a half hour drive each way and it only takes 2 hours to do the groom, so not much time left to do anything. I did manage to get the last few loads of washing finished and now have a pile of ironing to do. I was going to tackle the paperwork when the toddler went to bed but OH came home early about 5pm and was feeling ill. He helped amuse the toddler and then went to bed at 8.30 pm so that made the bedroom a no go area for the evening. Never mind tomorrow is another day. I suppose I could always start the ironing lol.
