I'm sure Jimbo is jumping up and down in excitement!! He's been waiting for snow to jumpstart the tire business!! I think this should do it!!
I have some shopping to do, but also am going to lunch with the ARCC gang. Then I also have a dinner date....so I guess I shop in between.....by then the snow will be done and the roads will begin to clear. Dinner is here in Coon Rapids, so not that I have to drive any distance.
Didn't do anything yesterday. Bill stopped by with a delivery of some Butter braids that the kids had sold for Cross-Country ski team. He sat and visited for a while. We always seem to have so much to talk about. (when don't I?) One of the things we talked about was an email I got earlier in the day from my friend Barb, letting me know that Fr. Tim Power has been diagnosed with Luekemia, and also that Tom O'Brien had died a few weeks ago. (Tim, Tom and Pat Griffen were co-pastors at St. Tims back in the day when I worked there). So prayers for Tim please!!
I don't know why, or how but the conversation lead to Grief and the stages of it, and that it didn't have to be death that you grieved. That you grieve for yourself. It can be any lose....So anyway the final stage is acceptance....and I guess that's were I am with this cancer process!! I'm now working on the patience part!! Giving it time to heal!! God's time and mine don't necessarily match! But through the grace of God you all keep helping me to work on that!
Tomorrow I go back for Round 2 of chemo, and Carol my sister-in-law will be my chemo partner. It should be a fun day. I also already have a few of those acne like spots on my face. One on my cheek and one in my eyebrow...so just two half treatments, and already taking the antibiotic for it....hasn't hindered it at all. Well I suppose it could be as bad as it was last summer. Hopefully that won't happen.
Keep the prayers coming for all those I've requested, including Lottie who is having round 3 of chemo today, and the nausea she continues to have....and Tim Power!! Love and Prayers, m
Father Tim was at St. Edwards also. Didn't he go to south america or someplace for a while??
ReplyDeleteI will be ready for your next Chemo when you get back. Have a good trip. jv
