I tried to make today a day of rest as much as I could! We've been doing more "going" all week with Dad being in the hospital. Dad was overjoyed when he was told he could go home today, on Friday. The Nurse reported he climbed over the railing and was looking for his clothes immediately. He had to wait for Jack to being him some! His ride there in the ambulance was in slacks only!

Dad had told Jack the first thing he was going to do was go to Casey's and get a 10 oz prime rib dinner so we took him to Casey's Friday evening and we all had prime rib! Saturday morning was the monthly Intergroup Breakfast at the Grange. We spent the afternoon at Dad's. Jack vacuumed and shampooed carpets while I dusted, cleaned windows and together we did the laundry. It was an old-fashioned spring cleaning and we were able get a good idea how Dad was doing. He is very tired and sleeps a lot but that is to be expected. This morning Jack and I went to the Sunday morning Breakfast at Elmer's and went to see Dad afterwards. He was up and is doing much better! We heard from a neighbor that Dad had gone out to his truck on Saturday and asked him about that today. He admitted he'd thought he needed something from the store but thought better of it and returned to the house without going anywhere. We got a list of the things he thought he needed and got them for him from Albertson's before we returned to our house! He's promised not to drive!

At home we loaded up all our yard trimmings and Jack hauled them off to the dump while I did a test ride to work and back on my bicycle. The weather is getting nice and I want to start riding to work. We are putting together a FitandHealthy team in the payroll department and will get points for doing things like that. It's a city wide competition and we will win "something" if our team makes the most points. It really doesn't matter what to me... I just want to be motivated to be active! I think I can stretch the 2 miles in to a 4 or 5 mile bike ride by taking a scenic route.
