Thanks for your words of encouragement. You sound like you well know the feelings of sometimes being overwhelmed. A bit of an update here. Mostly things are better. My husband has been doing fine except for a really bad cold he came down with this week. I am scheduled for eye surgery next Tuesday, a procedure I have had to reschedule three times because of my mother’s and then my husband’s hospitalizations. I had a few really bad moments this week when I realized he was sick as he was going about sneezing and hacking away spreading germs hither and yon, wondering if I could avoid catching it. I just cannot call the surgeon’s office and cancel again! So far so good. Another concerning factor has been the weather. We have to travel 150 miles to get to the surgical center and all winter we’ve been alternating between snow, wind and cold. Another blizzard is predicted for tomorrow but it looks like we may be blessed with a window of travelable weather this week. Crossing fingers and making appeals to the weather gods. And because some other gods roaming the universe have a wicked sense of humor, this week I was called back for further diagnostics after an abnormal mammogram. That was another bad moment. Thankfully my clinic got me in for tests quickly and results came back just as quickly that everything was OK. I have discovered a good way to decompress is knitting (quite ineptly, but what the heck) while watching college men’s and women’s basketball. There’s almost always a game on some TV station. You all have the best weekend you can!
