Yesterday was mom's last Saturday morning candidate class. It started at 8:25, everyone did 40 push-ups, 60 sit-ups, then ran for 20 minutes. Then they would practice techniques and forms. Mom usually needed a shower when she was done. These last couple classes mom has needed a bath the next day. Today is one of those days.
This is the closest mom could come to showing you her bubble jet tub. She can sit in it up to her shoulders in water, lean her head back and make the bubbles massage her sore, tired body. I usually come check her out, to see if she's okay, but I don't try to climb in. I'm not stupid!
Wednesday night is mom's promotion night. Show off night. Then on to your new goal. In this case, it's third degree black. That will be three years away. PlusOne passed his exam yesterday, so in January he gets to do the Saturday morning fun. Mom gets to watch.
In other news, Pepere is having his hip replaced Monday. Pepere has a bad heart, so they are being very careful with his operation. He is only getting a spinal and a local. Mom would appreciate it if everyone could say a prayer for Pepere's operation to go well and for Pepere to heal quickly. Thanks everyone.
Pepere is very special to our family. We love him an awful lot. We want him up and around as soon as possible.
To take her mind off the operation, Mom is planning a lap robe for the living room, to go on the red sofa.
She is not sure if it will just be reds, or if there will be yellows and oranges as well.
This is a good project to keep her mind busy. But I think she would be better off just giving me scritches. Don't you think?
