Not so good

Had a bit of an icky, sad day today. My Dad called last night to tell me that my Poppa had just passed away. He has been sick with alzheimers and related illnesses for a while now and had developed a nasty chest infection in the last week, but it was still a shock. I knew he was in palliative care and Mum was booked to fly out to WA today already, but he went before she got there. Dad will meet her there tomorrow thank goodness as I am sure she will be needing him there. I am so sad. I have missed seeing him for much of a decade as he has been in WA for that time and also affected by the insidious alzheimers. Rich is still away and out of mobile range, so I haven't even been able to consider flying out for the funeral...we'll see. I imagine he is freezing his bits off this week out in the bush! Had a shocker of a time getting Master C's (3) hair cut today...Grr. Already felt low and had no energy, so restraining Master C was the last thing I felt like doing. He is a little lopsided, but my friend Michelle cuts his hair....she'll fix it for me when he is in a better mood :) Hoping to get some scrapping done tonight...maybe LOL.
