Home - Yakima - Home - Airport - Quincy - Work - Home - Airport - Home
I am all over the place these days. My dad is doing really well, thanks for all of the emails, notes, office drive-bys, et al. We saw them last week -- went over to do some yard work and visit for a while and my dad was up and about, walking around the yard and tinkering with things -- almost as good as new it seems! If you were to look at him now you would have no idea that he had a life-changing emergency surgical procedure. Has he smoked? To my knowledge no. Chris and I removed all of the cigarettes, ash trays, and lighters from the house only 2 days after his surgery, so there is nothing left in their house. Has his diet changed? Somewhat, but I know this will be the toughest thing for sure (assuming he doesn't start smoking those cancer sticks again).
But back to the title of this blog entry -- yes I am all over the state of Washington. We left home last night, drove to Yakima in almost 2 hours flat; we are now in the Howard Johnson hotel of Yakima because we mainly came over here to attend the Yakima Enological Society's Platinum Wine Event (you can read more about it at www.yakimawine.org). Chris' parents are on the board and they helped to throw this shin-dig together. Chris is currently passed out/sleeping and I am wired as ever since I got to change into elastic pants. (haha, hey you try tasting 20 wines, eating a 6 course dinner in panty hose, heels and a dress and tell me how YOU would feel, yeah, wine bloat, need I say more?) Tomorrow we have breakfast together and then drive back home to rapidly do laundry, repack and then Monday (following me here, Monday is April 30th) morning I drive Chris to the airport as he is going to Washington D.C. for a week (convention on pain) and I get to drive my butt over to Quincy, WA to go to a work offsite retreat. I drive back to Seattle on Wednesday (now we're on May 2nd) and then go to a 2-day class...finally on Saturday I will go pick Chris up from the airport--and we're done.
Whew! In the mean time I've been invited to all of these parties that my friends are having (Cinco de Mayo, et al.) and I feel horrible that I may not get to attend because well quite frankly, I'm already exhausted how am I going to feel by this this next week?
As I'm still totally ramped up for some odd reason, I am going to attempt to catch up on some personal email. Key word in that phrase is -- attempt.
