10 thoughts

1. The source of the hospice problem turned out to be Ben's doctor at Wyandotte who gave a completely inaccurate report of Ben's condition. This has now been corrected and Ben will transfer to the VA hospice unit on Tuesday if he has not passed.
2. Even though the temperatures have turned colder, the sunshine makes it ok.
3. A pleasant home has remarkable power to calm the spirit.
4. Every day the daboyz have checked in several times by phone and spent time with the Mr. I love that about them and need to remember this the next time they are acting like fools, which will probably be this afternoon.
5. Keeping life in order during difficult times is so important. Dinner at home, food in the pantry, routine & schedules renew tired bodies.
6. I am sure there are people who think Nurse Amy and Nurse Sara are difficult to deal with, this is what makes us good nurses. So there.
7. Black coffee in the morning, tea with honey in the evening-perfect bookends to the day.
8. I am going to the library this afternoon. That is always happy news!
9. Now that I have decided to buy egg plant colored eye shadow, there is none on the face of the earth.
10. Make your life warm and sweet and beautiful and comfortable and lovely and peaceful today.
