I was called a "godsend" today.  It sort of made me chuckle because if you read that definition above...I'm not exactly that. I do however understand the sentiment behind it. It's quite nice to be held in such high regard.  Even though, I'm just me...because  I assure you, sometimes I am rotten.  BUT, I needed that "boost" today.  I've been feeling somber.

So, what is something godsend to you??  A hot cup of tea from a friend on a cold morning? ? Someone sharing their "space" underneath an umbrella??  A hug from a familiar face after a very long day?

                   

Mom and Dad are at the new house almost everyday "doing"...yes "doing".  There's progress...but we aren't moved yet.  There will be lots of pictures once it happens.  I promise.

We've spent a couple of late evenings watching movies on recommendation from my favorite movie critic, Stephen.  Swimming With Sharks Swimming with Sharks (1994)   was good.  Yes, it is an older flick.  Spun, I watched alone.  It's a brutal movie about addiction...so if you are looking for laughter and romance...this isn't the film!  In queue, Stranger Than Fiction, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Invincible.

Food hasn't been fun. We keep hoping ginger ale will do the trick!  If only that was the cure!!   Pain hasbeen under control for the most part. I'm taking the oxy exactly as it's being prescribed.  I've been trying to take walks around the block.  Mom asks me if it feels good to get out and walk.  It does, REALLY...even if the tumor in my back nags me.  The coughing is the same.  I've noticed lots of bruising on my legs, thighs, and tummy.  I don't know if it is from the Coumadin or lack of potassium.  I'm going to see the doc this week for blood work to figure it out.

I'm going to close this for now. Thanks for coming here and reading.  I sure do love y'all.
