Monday, Monday

It rained so nicely here yesterday afternoon. It felt good to see the garden get some much needed rain and nourishment. It makes me hopeful that today will be a better day. Everything feels so clean and new. I've been able to keep down some carnation instant breakfast mixed with milk so just that is an improvement over yesterday. I slept well and woke rested. I just need to bulk up the calories to get my stamina improving.

My mom called first thing and she is driving back up here tomorrow. I think she worries about Holly having to miss so much work as I get seen in the clinic. Today's appt is at 10am and Sandi is going to drive me to the appt since Holly has a 9am meeting. I can only imagine how hard it must be for Holly to do her regular work and tend to me. I keep needing meds and clean clothes and food and then every once in a while I throw up too. Must be awful to have so much on her shoulders. I will try to do as much as I can as I get my strength back. I hate sitting around but right now I am not strong enough to do much.

I got a couple of emails from my Asheville pals who did the Hazel Creek trip this w-e. Sounds like it was fabulous. They saw beavers, bald eagle, other birds and toasted us with brownies. I do wish we could have joined in. Next time...

I finally got the chance to go through all the cards my co-workers sent from the Drew Clinic in Burlington. Thank you all for your kind wishes, words of encouragement, and sweet messages. I do miss you very much.

I'll write more later...
