Getting through these days..

I think I am retired and then, at the end of the day, I look at my schedule.  Yesterday, I had four people here working on projects:   Mark, Kathleen, Dan and Gene.   Gene did the yard, Dan put in a blind in the bathroom, Kathleen cleaned the house and got the groceries and Mark went through all my electronics and bagged them and labeled them.   I went out to eat with Mike Richey.  Matt came to pick up some stuff I was giving to BSC .  And I was on the telephone to:  Sara, Betty, Julia, Annie, Mark, Bailey and Tina.

Annie needs my support.   Jennie is in hospice program and Mike Finnegan is going on hospice this week.  She works full time and Holly is at home.   So I try to be there for her, and her friends who are also calling.

Debbie will be here soon to do my hair and then I am going to lunch with Allie from History Dept.   Karel is coming to work in the yard also.   My yard looks great because of her and my continued purging makes my house look neat and clean.   I find a sense of comfort in doing something constructive each day.   I wish that things had been easier between Jennie and me in the last year but she made the rules and I lived with them.  It was just easier that way!
