Pa came home from hospital today. He has a lot of medication and still seems a little fragile, yet is so much improved from my last mention, it is unbelievable. He is so motivated. He got up and practised walking as soon as he could.

Each time I visited him he said, ‘It’s up to me to get out of here’. He takes responsibility for his fitness. I am so relieved and proud of him. I think we can all take that thought on board. I know myself at times I think I can fool goodness knows what by making poor nutritional choices or not exercising.

Since they gave him a date for coming home he mentally improved also. He had began to seem a little flat and bored when I visited and I could see he was feeling caged.
The legend lives on….

Yesterday Andy cleaned up my computer. It had become really slow and I was beginning to feel frustrated with it. He removed the spyware and the things that I no longer need that were running quietly in the background. I deleted a few things that I had backed up and didn’t need to access very often. We defragged and he did other computer type things I have no idea about. It took all day nearly. I was quite irritable by then.
I wonder about people who have no Andy to watch over their computers. I have seen friends computers who are just crawling along, totally laden with all sorts of surplus programs. Less is More.

Tomorrow I start back at work after the school holidays. This Easter/Autumn/first term break always goes way too quickly. I have achieved some things I set out to do and enjoyed time with my family, but as usual there are always the unfinished things that linger. Tomorrow I will have forgotten them and if they are important, I will squeeze them in during the term at some stage or else they will be there waiting for me in June, when the next holidays begin.
