01-07-24 Bonus Grand Worries
I finally slept my cold away, mostly. I got up and had a shower, stripped the bed and did a few more chores. Thankfully I did as I got a call that darling Gwen was brought by ambulance from Elkford and is in the ICU. Last night she managed to climb up on the counter, get in the cupboard and open the child proof caps on Emmy’s meds. She managed to get a lot of them down and things were very scary for a while. Poor Malcolm was at work in the coal mine and raced down as soon as he got the call. They all ended up here as they were, dirty clothes and all. Thankfully the worst of it passed and she is still very tired and under observation but it will all clear her system and should not have any lasting effect. She is clinging to her Dad and the whole family is exhausted. I visited with them for a bit at the hospital and then stopped to see Emmy and Thea at their other grandparents. Emmy and I have a plan to stay in Fernie at a hotel next Saturday night as a trial run for the trip. We are both looking forward to it.
After the visits, the shock wore off and I was shaking but stopped at the office for a few hours to get my spreadsheet work done for FPPAS new website and send out the invites to past volunteers for VIMF. It cheered me up to get so many responses so quickly. This is very early for me but the online volunteer registration begins on the 15th of January, earlier than ever.
Once home, I finished my chores, started a new puzzle as I finished the last one that was surprisingly more challenging than I thought it would be. I got the message that Gwen is doing better and there will be an update tomorrow. Now I can rest. Oh, and there was a decent amount of snow in the wee hours. It was so pretty when the sky was blue.
