Kona has had an interesting week as she has not only healed from her spay surgery but dealt with a significant change in the weather. We have had a very dry warm summer that has continued into the fall months. Kona is used to having the back door open and it being pleasant when she ventures outdoors. Not so much this week. The rain has returned, the temperature dropped and the puppy is in shock. Not only has she not been feeling well but she was having to deal with this further weather shock to her system. It has affected her inclination to do her potty business outdoors. I have kept her little shirt on most to the week to prevent her from licking her wound and Sam kindly came to be with her on Saturday while I served in the Temple as I didn’t want her too distressed with my being gone. She loves Sam and was happy to be with him. She is healing well and I have left her on her own in recent days.
I have been on the phone correcting some Telus concerns and adjusting the home insurance to my name. We have been also working on my flights to Kelowna in November and getting Kona on as an in cabin pet. I am still working on getting her set up on the return flight. Liza has a course to take in Colorado and I am going to assist with Sayde coming and going to school. Getting things taken care of on the phone can be a long and tedious process with extended waits on hold.
Nora Jensen, from the London Temple, contacted me to help a sister who recently relocated here with her husband. The sister tried to meet me at the Temple on Tuesday but misjudged the bus times and arrived after I had left. I have made contact with three individuals from the Vancouver Stake that I think can help her get settled and I am hoping that is beneficial. I will follow up. It must be so daunting coming to a new country without family, friends or a plan in place for employment and housing.
Joanne and Dave came over on Monday to visit Camille and her two little girls who are staying at Ronald McDonald House while her toddler Presley is receiving treatment for her leukaemia. She is responding well but will be here for several more months. Joanne and Dave came to spend the night with me afterward and we went to the Temple on Tuesday morning before they headed for the ferry and home. It was nice to have their visit.
I have been watching and reading YW material to try to get oriented myself and be prepared to inform others. It is daunting, excellent but daunting. There is so much online information and I need to try to simplify it for my simple brain.
Liza and family are coming this weekend to do baptisms and for the kids to attend a Stake Halloween dance and activity at the Christensen farm. I will be there with Sam, Breya and Keaton. I hope they are happy with Gramma being part of their activity.
