Dusting of Snow!

I don't know what happened to the snow and cold this winter....not complaining much....saving money from plowing the cabin out....but it's really strange. I thought we were going to get an inch this morning, but my driveway is barely dusted with snow. We are going to get a few days of cold....maybe in the first negative temps below zero on Thursday night....which will be a record too!
I slept great again last night, but I think it was cause I worked so hard watching Janet clean my house yesterday. Really I did help. I put away all the Christmas jewelry I had strewn on top of the dresser and also through all my dirty clothes down the shoot. I bagged up a bag of clothes for Lupus which is being picked up today. I put all the Christmas CD's back in their cases and put them away. I took down all the Christmas decor like the Nativity scene etc. and went through my large basket of magazines, and through away a whole bag of recycling from it. By the time Janet left at 3 p.m. I was beat, but I didn't nap...just rested, watching TV and playing on the computer. When 10:30 came I was ready for bed!!
The house is cobweb free and smells so nice and clean. I can't hardly stand it.
While we were taking buckets to the basement and putting them in the storeroom, she picked up this old guitar and asked who's it was?...I don't remember where it came from, but I knew it didn't work well, and cousin Jeannie had tried to fix it once, but said it wasn't fixable....the kids have all abused it, and I don't know why I was keeping it....so Janet suggested I put it out with the clothes I was giving to Lupus....so I did. Then when she left she put the guitar and bag out in front on the garage, and made the comment that it wouldn't go anywhere, and I said even if it was stolen I didn't care. Later in the evening, I got a knock on the front door and went to the door to find my neighbor Wendy and her son LJ, and she said he wanted to ask me something. So he asked if he could have the guitar? I said sure and he was thrilled. How fun!! I hope he doesn't drive them crazy with it.
Today I go for my infusion for that targeted drug (Erbitux) that is supposed to make the chemo work better. It will take a couple of hours, and I plan on going by myself and do some reading or playing on the computer for a while.
I have a few new requests for prayers. My dear friend (almost brother) Jim Zimmer who was my dance partner, had back surgery to correct a twisting spine and a lot of pain he's been in for years last week. He is doing well, and is now straight and an inch taller than he was. He will be in rehab therapy for a few months, but is doing well. My cousin Judy saw the ortho doctor again yesterday about her knee and arm, and he is sending her to a surgeon, and for an MRI of her arm. May have cortezone shots in both the arm and knee again, before they go to surgery on the knee. Anyway, she can use some prayers. Keep up all the prayers for all the others I have on my list...and Thank you for all the prayers for them and me. Love and Prayers, m
