Wednesday.

 Garbage day and I missed the Chuck, the truck guy again. The rumble of the truck wasn't loud enough.  But before that happened, there was a lot of other stuff going on.  Today, Eric needed a ride to the bustop.  Kat had early morning things to do where she works.  So, the alarm was set and since I'm the early bird at this house, I flew over to pick up Eric.  After his delivery I made my way to I U North Hospital to the Schwarz Cancer Center to reschedule some blood work because of the Gorgia changes. I'm back to the day suggested by the doctor.  I had another great visit with the two receptionists who have become dear, dear friends over the 5 years they have taken care of me.  

Then back home to Doug just emerging from a night of sleep.  For me, half the day was over.  Not quite but close.  I knitted for quite a while.  Knowing that there would be family company in a week, I decided to start pitching stuff out, rearranging stuff like dust and running the sweeper here and there. I'm staying ahead of the curve!  It's such a great feeling to be able to get ready for some extra good fun next week in a rather clean house. My mind is in a great place anticipating the JB Eric family. Georgia will be missed but the long hours in the car will not be missed.  It's becoming a honker of a trip.  I'm getting to be a sissy. No, a reality queen! 

So, the cleaning continued for most of the day until I said, enough!  I made a trip to Kroger's for distilled water for the CPap Machine.  And some chicken came home with me making supper easier to put together.  Then knitting returned again with a little TV, sitting in a very clean room.  Well, all except the windows.  

The evening is planned to be a Pacer night.  There are so many injuries, and the number of winning games is nothing to write home about.  I may go on to other TV things with once again the needles clicking away.

Tomorrow, there will be some Y time with Living Strong cancer friends.  I'm gathering information about guest visits at the Y, thinking about the grandsons that will be visiting, including the Eric family on Friday and Saturday. There will be many card games.

 Another great celebration with family with a few little twists as sometimes families can produce.  But celebrate we did with lots of food and lots of card games and just lots of everything that makes memories.  We're tired and glad to say the celebration as good as it was, is over for another year.  And we're looking forward to seeing what a year from now brings.  Today was a day of picking up the pieces to move into busy December. A bit of Christmas decorating happened at home.                                        The stockings were hung.  At least two you see and three you don't. Heidi carried on with the last-minute things that happen at a busy church when scheduling seems to flop over each other during our absence.  We've scheduled another work morning for tomorrow just to make sure that everything is covered for the rest of th...

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

Amazing Saturday

Image
 For many reasons it has been an amazing day.  One to remember as long as memory allows me.   Once again sleep did not stick with me, so I was once again out of bed around 1 last night.  I thought of checking the IU Portal for whatever it was going to tell me.  And it did a lot of talking about the scan that happened Wednesday.  The Easter portal news is that all cancer related things seem to be pretty stable with even some slight improvement in one area. Ever so slight but that still is great news.  So. for now, I feel like the stone has been rolled away and new life is with me.  Thanks be to God.  So back to bed and I slept till 6.  I'll take it with Thanksgiving.  Breakfast came and the clock proved it was time to leave for Church to get a jump on Easter visuals before the crew arrived.                 New members Hannah and Andrew working in the chapel with the lamb and...
