Updates

I can finally get into my journal and make an entry!  Yay!

I am feeling much better now; still coughing, but it's much better.

Our Indian Summer finally ended and now we are truly into Fall and cold weather.  There was a chance of snow flurries yesterday, but I never saw any here.

When Thomas said they were doing massive overtime, he wasn't kidding.  He worked eight hours yesterday and is doing so today, too.  That won't be a regular thing on Sundays, which is good, but once in a while we can handle it.  He had to go in at 5 this morning, so he got up at 3.  I actually got up with him and made him breakfast.  I have never had to get up with him when he gets up earlier than the rest of us; he usually makes his own breakfast, but sometimes I like to do it.  It's also a good time for the two of us to talk in a relaxed state, without interruptions.  When Andrew was a baby I can remember making cookie dough the night before, and then getting up early with Thomas and baking a pan of fresh, homemade cookies for him to take to work.  That was fun.

I saw my friend Julie when we were at my Mom's a couple weeks ago, and she is doing very well.  I gave her a very gentle hug, which was nicer than sending her hugs in the mail or over the phone.  Tuesday, the 7th, she had the port put in for the chemo, and I think she starts her treatments tomorrow.  I need to call her this afternoon to make sure.  She is in good spirits, and her husband is treating her exceptionally well, which she says is scaring her a bit! lol

I don't really have anything else to say right now.  Like I said in my last entry, there are several things I want to write about, but not until I can give them my full concentration.   So, until later....
