not a good week

This week has been an awful week. I was down and out on Wed, Thurs, Fri and part of Saturday. Usually I have one or maybe two days that are bad, but this week was the worst.
I was very fatigued and didn't do anything out of the ordinary. I look around and get very frustrated when I see the floor needs sweeping , or the windows need washing. I love fall and decorating for halloween and thanksgiving, and I don't even have the energy to do that. So that added to the emotional effect of this terrible time. Combined with not being able to get out of bed or not being able to just sit at the table for very long, it was torture. I know in my head that hopefully this will all be over soon, but when you are right in the middle of the situation it seems so distant. I just cannot wait to be able to do things, everyday things, again.
Wow, what a dismal blog. We have a new Dunn Bros Coffee shop that opened up down the street, I think, since I am feeling better today, I should treat myself. So I will pick up my knitting project, sit in front of their fireplace, have a cup of coffee and escape for a couple of hours. Yeah, that sounds good. Have a great day everyone. Talk with you soon.

That is when having kids comes in handy..."Hey kids, Can you come over and help put up Halloween decorations? I'll make popcorn!!" See how easy that is? We love you, Mom, and we WANT to help. You could never be a burden. Just ASK!!!
I wish I could join you for coffee. That sounds awesome on this freezing cold day! I love you with all of my heart. Nee

Aunt Joyce, it's okay to have a few crappy days. Don't beat yourself up over it! I know it must be so hard to just sit around since you're an "on the go" person. But take the time you need to relax and rest. And as Denise said, ASK FOR HELP! Love you, miss you and praying for you! Francesca

Just buy the candy and enjoy the dorbell ringers. There will be PLENTY more Halloweens for you and those decorations! Shoot...opening those boxes next year will be such a treat......rediscovering those gems....fun.....

Tomorrow is the "Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown". Cuddle with Anthony and enjoy!!

If you are into tea, Dunn Brothers serves a brand called Mighty Leaf and the Breakfast Americana is tops!

Joyce, Don't get down on yourself. It's normal for everyone to feel down and out in view of this rotten, crappy weather this last few days. I am with everyone else and wish that I could have spent the day with you in front of the fire with cofffe and your company. Seriously! Let us know if we can do anything. We would love to help out!
I think of you daily and you are in my prayers nightly! Keep positive. It's time for you to just relax and let your body work on beating this. You can do it. You are one of the greatest ! Betty and Mike

i have said it before and i will say it again...you are doing great! If anyone can say that it is tony & myself. You are doing so much moe than tony did. When it's over just think, what it I was just starting?? I know your mind will be clearer when you have the petscan and they say no cancer cells but we will just finish the treatments. Everyone is asking about you and keeping you in their prayers. We love you and I am so looking forward to you coming out to spend some time. I promise no paper goods!!! Also just think....this is going to bring about a WEDDING!!!! Yes Denise, were waiting!!! love you all
