Wow - A Blog A Day - - - - -For 3 Days Straight

Well - today was so-so! I was in bed by 11:30 last night and woke up at 5 this morning! I got ice tea and read some of my book - the 11Th in the series that I am currently reading! I have not been feeling all that great the last few days with a slight headache and tiredness! I went back to bed at 7:30 and woke at 11 a.m. When I went into the kitchen, I had notes from Gil, Tim (Construction Guy) and Matt. Gil was telling what he was going to be doing and he missed me for breakfast, Tim was telling me he made coffee (not that I drink it) and that he brought me Milk, Eggs, and Bread, and that he missed me. Matt was telling me he went into town and asked if I would call a customer back for him, and that he had his cell phone on if I needed him. It made me feel good that these folks thought of me no matter what the reason. I went over to the store and answered e-mails and returned calls. The plumber showed up and I gave him his list so he could get to work. I had my energy drink and a V8 and decided that I probably had a slight head cold, so I went back to bed about 12:30 and slept until 3:30. Matt and Michael (Housekeeping) and I hung out and checked some of the rooms for needed improvement. I then went and took a nice long shower and felt much better after pampering myself a little. We then made a smorgasbord of everything left over from the weekend! I had a Turkey Italian Sausage, and two cups of soup. Matt had purchased a digital scale while in town and we weighed ourselves for the start of our weight loss program. I have 16 pounds to lose if it was a perfect world. Troy went to visit his father in Ohio since he was hospitalized with Congestive Heart Failure. It appears he is doing better since he oxygen levels were up and they are releasing him tomorrow. Anyway, once he arrived and after Dinner, Matt asked if I wanted to go to the residence with them. We went up and hung out and visited with their dogs. It was apparent that these 2 dobermans missed me as the one slammed herself across my lap and the other kept bringing me his (slimy) bone! I spoke to my friend Barb from Ohio who used to work for me at the bank. Her husband has Bone Cancer and we learned that he has probably a few weeks to live now at best! She seems as well as can be expected under the circumstances and obviously hates to see him in pain. He just celebrated his 59Th birthday and their 38Th wedding anniversary. She says all she can do is talk to him as he is incoherent and asleep most of the time. She said he told her he wants to die and she has assured him that he should go when he is ready. She assured him she would be OK! Suddenly, my head cold didn't seem so important after this phone call. I then went to the dance hall and watched a good part of "Dancing With The Stars" and bar tended for a few seasonals who are here building a Cabin. (They can put away the Bacardi and Coke)! Now here I sit and ready to go back to bed! More of this exciting and interesting (Yeah-Right) life later.............................
