An Eventful Week

Well, unfortunately its been a pretty eventful week for the Richardson Family (as Pia loves to call us).

In Florida - Jaska had to go to the vet because she had a weird bump like thing on her leg (I havent seen it so I apologize for my bad description). We were a little afraid it was a cancerous tumor, but that has been ruled out, however, we still are not quite sure what it is and if it will need to be removed. But with the 2 day car trip right around the corner she will have to wait until she gets to Austin, but luckily it was not a big deal. Annie is also having some health issues, she is having her normal skin reactions to the heat/humidity (even though she is inside) and has been scratching her face horribly and is almost at her eye. She is going to get to wear an elizabeathan collar until it heals, I wish I could be there to comfort her and to see how funny she will look, but hopefully it will help because last year it got pretty bad.

In Indiana - Papi feel down and broke his hip, he went in for surgery and that is all fine. But when he was there we discovered he has been having mild strokes since his accident and has colon cancer that has spread to his liver and lungs. Not the news you really want to hear. He will have surgery next week to remove the main tumor in his colon. I am praying that everything will be fine with that and that he still has some good times ahead of him. He is a tough old man, so I have faith in him.

In Texas - I moved into the apartment officially (last night was my first night), there are boxes EVERYWHERE. Since we are planning on moving in 6 months we are keeping all the boxes and packing supplies and keeping some things packed, but let me tell you, that takes up a lot of room. Until we move out the extra bathtub will be the home for all the broken down boxes and the extra room and both closests the home to all the boxes I am not unpacking. Last night all I needed to do was get the bathroom ready so I could get ready for work, so I made sure to stop and get a shower curtain rod, a liner and a curtain, but at like 10:30 realized I didnt get shower curtain rings. So off to Walmart I went in my pjs to spend one whole dollar on shower curtain rings!! So basically it took me like 4 hours to get the bathroom ready, not a productive night to say the least. I am planning on using all weekend to unpack and finally get that apt organized at least a little bit. I know compared to the other news my week in TX was not eventful, but it has been stressful when you put it all together.

OH - And we just ordered new cell phones, we will start using them once Ian gets down to TX. I'll be sure to email the new numbers to everyone.
