Waiting

A person wearing a purple dress patterned with light brown and gray rabbits holds the teal strap of a translucent water bottle in their right hand. The bottle has a gradient of teal to pink with white speckles and a black lid. A light purple backpack rests on the concrete ground to the right of their legs. The person wears a beige smartwatch on their left wrist, striped pastel socks, and turquoise sneakers with pink laces and a floral pattern. The scene is captured from a high angle on a light gray concrete surface with a white painted line. A small circular logo with text is visible on the lower part of the water bottle.

Currently waiting for my new washing machine to arrive. But that’s cool, apparently we’re the next delivery and since they gave us a 3 hour window it’s been pretty easy for a Sunday morning.

Waiting for mum to get an aged care bed. Waiting for her to move to a different hospital to wait for that so she’s not in a depressing dungeon ward with old men dying across from her. The staff are lovely but she really needs to get out. She has a loaner wheelchair so we can take her into the fresh air each day for coffee and a break. Trying to not feel guilty for staying home today but also telling Dad to stay home and rest because he’s really not well and we’re now waiting for his Haematologist appointment on the 24th. His white blood cell count went up again since his last blood test. Mine are normal though. I did bloods last week and they’re all normal.

Waiting on Bruce’s colonoscopy. We’re been waiting 4 months, been told to expect 6. Waiting for mum’s wheelchair of her own. We were waiting for Dad to say okay to building a ramp to the house so mum can at least visit. But he’s said yes to that at least. Now to get him to okay us going to buy a wheelchair friendly mini van.

A tan dog with a black collar and circular metal tag stands on wet dark rocks at the edge of a large calm body of water. The dog is in profile facing left with head tilted upward eyes partially closed and ears erect. Its front paws are planted in a shallow puddle on the rock surface which shows patches of yellow orange and dark wet textures along with scattered seaweed. Behind the dog the water stretches across the frame reflecting a clear blue sky. Distant tree-covered shores and low hills line the far side of the water under bright daylight.
