She's got the whole world in her hands...


I see Bookworm has been writing about fatigue. We've had guests for a week ... daughter Kelly for five days and daughter Erin and granddaughter Jessica for two days. While we have very much enjoyed these visits -- in this stressful time, having anyone about creates a state of alertness that is, in itself, tiring. In the past, I've always been able to forge right through this, but during this past week, I found myself saying "I'm just going to topple over on the couch here and rest my eyes a few minutes." And I'd wake up an hour or two later.

Michal D. fixed our leaky kitchen sink drain. Bill T. and his son Max are working on the new deck off our family room. Peggy D. came by with a pot of Mexican soup and helped Kay choose colors for our repainting of the downstairs rooms. Kelly bought me a new countertop stove for my birthday ... to be delivered and installed this coming Tuesday. Erin and Jessica turned to in the front yard and did some much needed plant/tree maintenance. And this coming Monday I'll finally see an actually oncologist .... and get some real info on what I'm facing here.

Life just rolls on, whether you're up to it or not.

That's a beautiful picture of your Granddaughter's hands, FG. A precious photo.
