    Crap.  I didn't make it to Boise.  I got reallllly sick on Monday when I was supposed to leave for Cathy's to fly out.  Turns out it was a good decision because on Tuesday I was almost ready for the ER my asthma was so bad.  Now I'm on steroids and feeling a little better (emphasis on the "little")  It was really traumatic for me to cancel my trip and I have felt SO overwhelmed and down since.  I will still make the trip; just not with Cathy and probably not with Jim since it will be hard to take time off work.  But my plan is to fly out on October 26th...although I'm tossing around Novemer 1st thru 6th.  Will decide tomorrow.



    Erin is doing a bit better.  It's been very, very hard for me to see her in so much pain.  Jim, too.  And hard for me not being able to do much for Jim with his Pneumonia.  So so so drained.  Empty.  I feel like a downed log in the forest with the insides disintegrating and the outside starting to crumble.  Many tears.


    Not sleeping much because of the steroids.


    The music that I'm listening to is reminding me of Autumn and making me feel connected to earth.  Next week, next week will be better for me.  I'm praying for rejuvenation and inspiration.

  • Oh! Dear I hope all is going A little better now and soon! 

  • That is a lovely picture.  So much poopy.  You know, it's these times I have nothing left but to believe that there is a purpose and a plan (though they are not mine) and somehow all this is going to work out for my good and God's glory because it has before.  I think we are so existential we tend to become our circumstances instead of who we really are.  Hang on, gal pal!  (((BIG HUGS!)))

  • Hugs and love you to all

  • You are both not lucky : asthma , pneumonia .

    I wish Lisa and Jim you were better quickly .

    Sarah will be deceived but she will understand . Necessity is law .

  • You know those downed logs in the forest are so soft and smell so sweet....the best thing is they are able to grow whole new trees and vibrant new plants out of what appears to be their crumbling parts!

  • Agreeing with you in your prayers.  Next week will be better.

    lots for hugs for you,

    Deb

  • I'm so sorry to hear that you've joined the ranks of the not well. My asthma has been bothering me too lately -- it must be something in the air, no? Rest, take care, let yourself heal. I wish you both very well very quickly, and I'm so sorry about the trip. I know you were looking forward to it so much! I have a hard time with acceptance in situations like that, but what other alternative is there? {{{Lisa & Jim}}}

  • man you people got the problems!  I can't believe you didn't go to boise...you've been talking about it for so long!  BUMMER.  I really hope you feel better!
