My personal retreat

My sis is here and we have turned this house into a retreat! Using the jacuzzi, soaking my feet, using the hot wax foot bath...things like that! And designing in my studio, experimenting with new products, just having some girl time and some fun!

Talked to hubby tonight. This is a major proposal, a billion dollar deal, and he is working from 7 am til 11 pm. Well, that's when he quit tonight. He's also in a hotel and eating every meal out. Tonight was a business dinner...I'll bet money he had steak and dessert! I know his adrenaline is running full blast, which means his sugars are high. I know he will run like this all week long. He flies in Saturday....and then he will have a major crash that will last probably 3 days based on past experiences.

If I were smart...I would pack up and leave Sunday morning and go visit mom for 3 days! He is at sea level this week, so his feet are doing just great...of course. So, if he stays true to past practice, when he gets back here, to this altitude, his feet will get infected again and the increased pain will put him back in bed for 2 -3 weeks.

At least I now know what to expect and can sort of plan for it. I'll just have as much fun as I can this week and then revert to my role of caregiver next week. At least there is some balance to this at the moment. I have my creative outlet and this is my second week of playing. I should be good and ready come next week!

It really is great! Of course! Come on over! LOL! Today, we were up to our elbows in decoupage glue. Remember that stuff from the 70s? Now I remember why mom never liked it! LOL!!! What a mess!

Tomorrow, I'm having my monthly group of artists over for a play day. It's our holiday event, so a truly fun day.

Hubby is reporting in that all is well. Which I expected since he is at sea level.

It's a great week here! :o)

Oh! Can I come too? I've just had a 24 hours with my husbands levels flucuating from 1.5mmol/L to HI readings (27 to over 500), problems with his pump and eye problems!

I need a holiday at a spa... I'll just get a sitter for James (my husband lol).

I just found your blog - but I'll be back :-)
