I am currently enjoying leftover soups.

Yes, mama made soup. And we all know how much I enjoy that. It might be my favourite part of winter, now that the snow is too cold for me.

I had a good time on Sunday. Soup with the family. It was good to see my dad again. Up and about. Seemed like he was doing better. But still not okay yet. Hopefully things will keep getting better. Time will tell.

I’m not much in the mood for writing though. Here is a goat video: youtube.com/watch?v=6g73QfsG4Ik. Nothing too exciting. But some bits with the new goat.

Yesterday I had an appointment at the foot therapist. My last one with him. As I have previously mentioned he is stopping at the end of the year. So it was kind of sad saying goodbye to him. I have enjoyed knowing him, he’s a good guy. I hope things will work out for him wherever he goes now. He told me he didn’t really have a new job set up yet. I wished him luck with that and told him it had been a pleasure knowing him. He said likewise. I hope whoever takes over is just as nice. I don’t like meeting new people, but I don’t have much choice.

And finally, I got a christmas present today! A lovely homemade calendar from Desiree. It’s getting to be something of a tradition. A very lovely one. She has a beautiful family and it’s not going to get any worse now that she’s adding to it. Thank you!

And that’s all for now. I know the writing ain’t what it used to be. But at least I’m still here.

A little update on my dad. He’s been in the hospital since my last entry. More than a week now.

He’s supposed to be coming home today. But they’ve sent him home twice before and both times he started feeling bad before he made it out of the hospital and they had to get him back in. So I don’t know if he’ll actually be home this time. But I guess I’ll know later.

They’re not sure what’s wrong with him. Lots of tests have been made. At first they thought maybe it was a blood clot in the leg. Then maybe a blood clot in the lungs. They checked for ulcers, the head, the heart.Other stuff. So far they haven’t come up with anything. It’s been quite worrying and scary. But at least he is hopefully getting better now. Mama is cooking up a pot of soup on Sunday, it would be nice if he was back for that. For a nice family dinner. I could use that now.

Update: I wrote this earler today. Now at the time of posting, my dad is actually back home. So that’s good. Still lots of tests and stuff to come, but let’s hope for the best. It has all been weighing heavily on my mind lately, naturally. But I don’t feel like writing too much about it here.

Hope you are all safe.
