Checking In.......by Deb

Even in the lull of time between year end holidays & spring's arrival time to do at least a few things I want to evades me. Yes, going without power for almost a week was a bummer, but others went longer and as I write some in my area are still sitting in hopeful, frustrating darkness. The time without electricity could have been better if our generator had been totally committed to the internet. Our part of Ark looks as though a tornado has gone across it as far and wide as the eye can see. Trees are splintered off or uprooted, broken power poles aren't uncommon to see, some people are working to clean their yards, others as I drive along seem to be just standing in the midst surveying just where to start. My own emotions swing from amazement to devistation at some of the old beautiful trees stripped of their majesty.

My job is demanding more time than I had originally intended, but I'm Thankful for the opportunity & health to have a job.

My husband & I did manage to spend time with our sons, daughter in law and a dear girl friend of one son...this weekend. In celebration of hubby & the girl friend's birthdays 7th/12th of Feb.
It was a pleasant distraction from daily life, which seems to continue to become more & more complicated.

I'm doing well other than occasional tiredness, still wondering is it my body or brain that's more tired?
My husband & I are in the process of seeing doctors & deciding on treatment options for him. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer recently. It will be a turning of tables from when he was my caregiver just 3 short years ago during my pre/post transplant. I hope I do as great as he did in my caregiving. He was so patient, but I was a good patient. LOL Guys aren't always the best patients & I'm not real blessed with a lot of patience. Age has improved that some. Time will tell.
I miss having time online to visit with my pals,,,and my Dear Robin WOW hasn't she done great here with the blog? Gotta commend Robin, even in the face of her hepC treatments, rejection issues she still finds time to blog, be a wonderful Memaw, wife, cat parent..& then some.
It's really going to be great to get together again in Nashville for the Liver Walk in April. So, very briefly here was I, with a touch of NW Arkansas news.
