Weekend catch up

I ment to keep writing all weekend but it was busy and then the new book showed up. I'll get to that.

Friday:
After my post, I ended up talking with Amanda and Jenn and Owen by phone. All to make plans for Saturday but was it ever good to hear thier voices.
After Nick got home from his football game, he decided that we should go to chapters on Calgary trail. He was taking his little brother to buy his copy of Harry Potter. He's such a good big brother. Then he decided that he needed to buy a copy of the book for himself because he didn't want to wait for me to finish before he could read it. And we wonder why the author is so rich.
Saturday:
Went to Moma Mia with Amanda. What an amazing show. I was dancing in my seat the entire time. Next time it is town, I'm inviting everybody to go with me. And I highly recommend that we go because it was simply amazing.
Then Mandy and I went for dinner at Gabbana (11223 Jasper Avenue) for supper. It comes highly recommended from Nick and Mark. They have terrible ceasar salad, awsome green onion cakes with this yummy sun-dried tomatoe sauce, but thier lemon chicken sounded so good on the menu but tasted like chicken balls. It was even deep fried. Not remotely what I wanted. I don't know if I would go back.
Later on that evening we had decided to go to a movie. It was an "everybody is invited" type of affair. Jenn and Owen decided not to come because Jenn had an intense head ache. Understandable. Jocelyn, Mark, Nick and I ended up going to Ratatouille. Another movie that needs to join the collection when it comes out on video. But it happened to be in the coldest theater. And with my house being a comfortable temperature, I forgot to bring my sweater. I froze. Joce took pitty on me and handed over her sweater because she wasn't nearly as cold. Thanks Joce, I really appreciate it.
Sunday:
Finally opened Harry Potter (my copy was delivered to my parents house on Saturday; I had pre-ordered it the day the date was released). And didn't do much else.

Mood update:
It is so strange right now. I'm okay (a little down but highly functional) all day. For the last couple of days, I start to feel "sad" around supper time and the feeling builds until by bed time I feel so hopeless and hugely sad that if I was to wake up like that the next day, I wouldn't be able to function. But I wake up the following morning back at okay. It's reall wierd and has happened for quite a few days in a row.
I upped my dose of my meds this morning (every monday I'm getting to up them for 4 weeks; this is week 3). Let's hope that everything continues to improve.

Grandma update:
Not well.
Mom and I have had a trip to Drumheller planned for next weekend for a long time. When we found out that Grandma's cancer was back, that trip went to tentative depending on how she was doing. As of this morning, the trip went to the "highly unlikely to cancelled" type range. I know we will rebook.
Mom said that Grandma had a really rough weekend. Her ability to swallow is pretty much completely gone. Previously, most of what she was eating was ending up in her lungs but now she's choking on it. She can't even get pudding down and it is one of the easiest things to swallow. Mom also says that Grandma has decided that she doesn't want visitors aside from immediate family. I can't blame her for that. Grandma is sleeping a lot now.
I'm going to go up right after work tomorrow and visit with her for a short time. If I go back up on Thursday will depend on how she's doing. If she isn't aware of who is around her anymore, than I won't be going. But I have a feeling that my visit on Tuesday might be the last and if I go see her on Thursay, it will 90% be the last one unless she completely rebounds.
This isn't easy.
