Update

Alright, so it's been a hectic and horrible week. But I thought I'd give you guys a quick update.

I told my wife that night. I contemplated it, and I figured, I really had to tell her. She needed to know for multiple reasons. One of them being that if something bad happened, and she found out that I knew and never told her that could throw a serious monkey wrench in our relationship.

What I told her was that her sister has leukemia, that she's undergoing treatments and that she didn't want you to know, because she didn't want to wreck what you were doing. That way she knows that her sister is ill, but that her sister doesn't want her to worry and quit what she's doing. So, she was devasted, but she's glad that she found out. She talked to her mom and that's a good thing. The last couple of weeks at her workshop are really taking there toll on her, she's sick of the drama and wants to come home. She's actually started a blog, to talk about her experiences there, as well as promote her writing career. :)

Her sister is doing better, she had some rough days last week, with vomiting and hiccups. With her blood count so low, she has no clotting factors or an immune system so something so simple as hiccups can be a serious problem. But as far as I know, her blood count is steadily rising and the paralysis in her legs is going away. She's a trooper and she's easily going to pull through this, and then we are totally going to Disney World!!!

On the home front, I've pretty much haven't done much in the last week. I haven't worked out, I haven't cleaned much, but I plan to clean the whole place before the wife arrives home. This weekend I didn't do too much, Friday I went out with friends and Saturday and Sunday I stayed at home with the dog, and watched cheesy movies and played around on the computer. Oh I did stop by work for a bit on Saturday, but not to do too much.

The coolest thing I saw this week was there is small field right where I park my car, and one day when I came home from work there was a deer in the field, standing under a tree eating something in the grass. Turns out that the tree he/she was standing under was an apple tree and that apples were falling from it. It was very cool to watch. I'm such a lamer. The dog and I also saw two baby deer with their families last week a couple of times, actually fairly close up the one time. Man I love taking the dog for a walk and seeing the wildlife. The only bad thing is right now it's incredibly hot and humid and it just sucks taking him for a walk during the day, so I make it quick and then take him for a longer walk at night, when it's still uncomfortable but better than during the day.

So the countdown is on, the wife is coming home on Sunday. I survived 5 weeks so far on my own with the dog. I deserve a cookie or something don't I? Plus I really didn't spend a lot of money, she probably out spent me in the last 6 weeks (not surprisingly) which is another plus for me. Anyway, I don't know exactly when she's going to be heading to Vancouver to visit her Mom and sister. I don't think she really wants to pack up and leave right away, plus the flight is relatively expensive because it's in the summer. So, I guess we'll have to wait to see whats going to happen.
