Fabulous Friday

I write "fabulous" because it's seemed like a lonnnggg work week and I'm happy to welcome the weekend!

 

 

 

Dad was released from the hospital last Sunday afternoon, and he's been at home resting since. I would be surprised if he recovers to his previous activity level, though. Perhaps, but if so, it will take some time. He lacks a good appetite now, and that, coupled with the inactivity while he recuperates, translates to frailty in my mind. 

 

The snapshot above and the two below are from a park by one of our library branches, right across from the mall. 

 

I'll be on vacation as of next Wednesday, and while I had lined up a number of things to do with Dad while he was here, I now am reverting to plan B, which will be me making a couple of day trips to nearby areas, if Via Rail is offering suitable times to and from. I'll visit friends for a few days as well, later in my time off. If the weather abruptly turns rainy, I'll have to come up with a plan C!

 

Most of the pics below are from the same park, same morning. The last, the maple turning red, is in our neighbourhood (not in our complex, though). The colours are early this year, perhaps because of the (ongoing) drought.

 

 

Below: Jake, parking himself on my doorstep. That was after his first serving of Fancy Feast. I've been wondering if he's been abandoned, he's around so much...but then, I won't see him for a day or three. I think I'm being played for a sucker.

 

 

So, nothing really to note at my end. I'm dismayed by how grumpy...okay, surly...I am these days, at least while at work. I need the time away! 

 

Below: Sunrise a couple of mornings ago. 

 

 

 

That's it for me; take care, all, and have a lovely weekend!
