Busy week coming...

Today Carol will be doing her prep for the colon
surgery scheduled for noon Tuesday.
They said to expect it to last 4-6 hours.
Probably spend four days in the hospital mostly
to learn the details of the ostomy bag.
Thursday morning Ann will get her MRI
to find out what is growing in her sinus.
We'll have some help because our brother is
coming up from Cincy on Wednesday to take
Ann to her procedure and visit with Carol.  

Ann and I will take books with us on Tuesday to help
pass the time waiting for Carol to get out
of surgery. And imbibe in copious amounts of caffeine.
And maybe some M&Ms...comfort food.

We are blessed to have family willing to support each
other when needed.

Any prayers, good thoughts, crossed fingers 
will be appreciated.

UPDATE: Her surgery went well. Making good progress.
Expecting she'll come home Friday.

This is when it started...

First Entry.....

Another sleepless night..........no specific reason........a bright orange full moon cast shadows in my yard.......made the night more welcoming...... very little could hide completely......... sirens wailing earlier ......someone in need of help ...........who will rescue me?

 

I had no idea what I was doing when I started this blog
in 2006. Other than whining. I had whining down quite well.

The blog evolved over time. Lots of roller-coastering
between poems, memoirs, short stories and lots of haiku.

Took a while before anyone found the blog and even
longer for anyone to leave comments.

Beside acting as a much-needed shrink and
stress-reliever, it brought me friends. Many are gone
but some have stayed with me even now, although
I'm not sure why.

I don't let go of things easily. Even with a drop
in quality I'll hang around and do...whatever.

Many thanks to those of you who keep coming back.
