Packing and Unpacking


This morning I woke up super early to meet with my Health Psych group. We have our final paper and presentation due tomorrow, and as of this morning I was the only one who had worked on it. At all. Talk about a slacking-lame-annoying group. Anyway, I got to the designated meeting spot and got an email from one of the guys in my group saying that he was super sick and wouldn't be able to make it to our meeting. Oh, and he said he was "REALLY SORRY." Great. I hate group projects. Me and Aaron (the other guy in my group) got to work on the last 9 pages of the paper and started making our presentation. Then I got a text from Clayton asking where on campus I was with my group. 10 minutes later my super hero husband came to bring me a box of Krispy Kreme donuts. :)))) He definitely made my whole day better. 


At noon we decided that we were at a good stopping point and that Aaron and Brad would finish it, since I had already done 75% of the paper and the whole power point. I ran home to Clayton and we decided that now was probably a good time to start packing up our stuff. We will be moving out of our condo in the middle of July, Clayton will leave for NY on the 12th, and then we will send all our stuff to NY a week after he gets there. Scott and Kathy have been so awesome and they are letting us store all our furniture and boxes in their garage until the movers come pick it up. Right now the only stuff in there is the new furniture we've bought and boxes that Clayton has kept there during college. 



So this afternoon we packed up all the stuff in our storage container down in the garage, all the stuff in boxes under our bed, mostly everything in the coat closet, all the other storage on the top shelves of our closets, and a bookcase of books. I tried to pack all the storage that we have and don't need for the next couple months, and then I'll wait to pack the rest of our stuff that we do use on a regular basis until a week or so before the actual move. 


Then we heard a knock at our door. It was a delivery woman with our new TV! We bought it for our new apartment, but we couldn't wait to unpack and assemble it. That is 42'' of LG beauty. It might be too big for the media center we got, but that's ok. We don't really mind :).

First Day of Kindergarten

Image
Cora and Ruby were so excited for school to start today. They woke up extra early thing morning and came into my room with their uniforms already on. We made German pancakes for breakfast, during which Cora spilled some syrup on her shirt and had to change it, and rode bikes outside to burn off some extra energy.  I just dropped them off at the school! The high school football team was waiting outside the elementary school (the high school, middle school, and elementary school are all on the same campus and share a parking lot) and formed a human tunnel for the kids to run through while they shouted “welcome to school!” It was cute. Ruby and Cora both ran through went straight to class without a single tear or complaint. In fact they didn’t even turn around to wave goodbye 😢. Now it’s just Darcy and me at home all afternoon.

To Kathy

Image
Last Tuesday we were having a Johnson family conference call when Scott told us that Kathy's health was really going downhill and that he thinks we need to be there soon. We booked flights that night and flew to Utah the next morning. We were picked up from the airport and drove straight to the hospital where Kathy had been for several weeks. We had been getting updates about her from the family ever since she was diagnosed with brain cancer last October, but there was always a disconnect since we live so far away. We were never there to watch the progression of her sickness, and we think the family may have been downplaying how severe her symptoms and complications were. When we came to her hospital room she was in a coma and was having a lot of difficulty breathing. She had contracted pneumonia and had been in a comatose state since Monday. The doctor's had her on the strongest antibiotics they had, but it was going to take 2-5 days for them to kick in. In the mean time ...

Reconstructed ACL

Image
When's the best time to get surgery? January! Because then you hit your deductible, and your health insurance will pay for the rest of the year of physical therapy appointments! Yay! Clayton tore his ACL playing basketball a couple months ago. After an MRI and a few visits with a specialist, he was told that he would need knee surgery. He was surprisingly cheery about it. The nurses at Cleveland Clinic really liked him, they said they wished that every patient was like him. After he was sanitized and hooked up, the nurse led me to the back to see him before the operation. As we were walking she asked me if Clayton is usually a chatty guy. I said yes, and she said that she thinks he's a little nervous because he is talking everyone's ear off. haha. Sure enough, I go sit down next to him, and he's cracking jokes and babbling about nothing the whole time. In fact, that hyper chattiness didn't die down until 3 days post op. Percocet reaction? Everything...
