(Carole’s email made me forget my troubles for a moment – you’re a nut, Carole, but I love you.)

Anyway, I have to see my Doc. For quite awhile I have been nauseous and now have elevated BP – 160ish. Tonight we were invited to enjoy turkey dinner again at S&R’s – ate but had to leave, like right after dessert – my stomach was flopping. Just like morning sickness. Actually feared I’d not make it home if I didn’t blow out of there “right now”. This has been going on for several months.

So, will keep in touch & let you know what he suggests. I think I know the reason why and there is no short term solution.

In 2009 the government will start

deporting all of the weird old people.

I started crying when I thought of you.

Run, little buddy, RUN !!!!

Although Life sends its challenges, we have to be grateful for much.
Having time to think, I decided to write down some things I’m grateful for:

Family
Food
Laughter around the table
Phone calls from family
Enough money to live well
Bloggers who sustain me
Neighbors who care for us
Friends
Good quality medical/dental care providers
A home to call our own

Hope your day is filled with the love of family and good friends – whether near or far – with internet and phones, we are but a call away from each other.

During a phone call last night at my sister’s, he was asked who was in the kitchen – “Someone.”
I didn’t hear that at the time and luckily, I think I’d have collapsed. But, I will be mentally prepared if/when it happens again.

My poor, dear man.
