The Stillroom

No, I’m not passed out on the floor. Lol I’m painting a door and had to get down on the floor to trim the bottom. Hope I didn’t scare anyone👻.

So, yesterday I had to go and get extra blood work at Quest. The doctors office called at 1:20 and the needle was in my arm at 1:40 so that was the next step in my journey. I’m now waiting for another call to let me know when to get my liver biopsy at St. Margaret’s. Nice and close. I like that.

My Mike arrived back home yesterday and although there were a few tears shed, we both realized it’s time to just buck up and move on with this life we have now. We shared more laughs than tears. We are both pretty funny people. That was probably the initial attraction all of those years ago.

I always said we are the left handed middle kids in our families. A little weirder than the rest of our siblings. We were each other’s first love. I know, corny. We didn’t go to our high school proms and did not date much. But, when he was hired as a dish washer at a Pizza Hut I worked at, we became fast friends. That friendship eventually blossomed into just the best relationship ever. It took about a year.

It’s nice when you meet someone in the most unexpected ways! After raising one beautiful son and seeing him off to his dream job in Texas, we both feel like we did something better than good.

I feel more at peace today. My mild nerve pill that I take for sleep seems to keep me a bit sluggish in the mornings so I do have to push myself a bit harder. The sun is up, it’s shining for me and the elections are finally concluded. The worst part of the CT scan on Sunday was sitting through about forty minutes of what seemed to be non stop political ads of Americans just hating on one another and I know that’s not who we are.

Well, this is day thirteen. I received some nice cards in the mail over the past few days. I got an unexpected book from a dear friend called ‘Conversations with God’. I’m reading it bit by bit.

Love comes from everywhere. My brother sent me a funny piece of artwork he dug up while he was looking for some documents. I’ll post that tomorrow. He didn’t find what he was looking for originally.

Time to share some laughs too!

Oh, this rollercoaster I’m on.
