20 February 2011

Super sleepy this morning. It has been cold the evening, so he cicadas have not given their usual 630Am wake up call, they’ve been waiting until 730 or 8 when it starts to warm up a bit. After a slow wake up session, and typing for a bit, I went up to the house to call my family and check in. I didn’t have access to a phone yesterday while we were out, so I missed our usual time to talk.

Called my Mom first to see how my Grandpa was doing. Mom had already started drinking margaritas, and was in great spirits, literally. ☺ She said that Grandpa is doing good and that he has been much happier since they arrived. Either way, his overall health is not doing well and they do not expect him to leave the hospice home. I did get a chance to talk briefly with the fam and with Grandpa again and it was very nice to hear his voice when he’s more coherent, rather than waking him up. He was happy to hear from me and I think I got a laugh outta him.

Called Dad next and we had a nice time catching up. We both caught up on what eachother have been doing at work. I talked about cars, beer, making beer, driving on the wrong side of the road, etc, and we had a nice conversation.

After cleaning the caravan for a while, Dave and I headed out to Mangonui in the afternoon to explore again and meet up with Steve at some point.
