It's always something!

The brother-in-law of a friend of my wife's died last week. He had leukemia a few years back and, to be honest, from what I heard was not too conscientious about following all of the doctos orders. Hey, I know that I have cheated somewhat ,too! However, he was much more blatant about it than I have ever been.

So what am I getting at here? On the night that he passed away, he didn't feel too well so he went to the hospital (where they thought that they had things under control), and he simply died. Come to find out, he had a virus with an accompanying fever that his body could not fight off because he had a compromised immune system.

It raises a few questions for me because he had his transplant a few years ago. How long do I really have to watch myself? I have certainly been careful up to now and have escaped everything that's going around(knock on wood)! But you can't live like this forever. Just something that I have to be sure to discuss with the doctor in a couple of weeks.

As for today's activities, our curate came to visit today. The discussion was pleasant and to end the visit with communion is always a blessing. I did state that I would be at church on Christmas Eve(weather permitting). I am really looking forward to it.

Other than that, the day was intentionally quiet. I think that it's time to stop with the projects for a bit and just make sure that I am still 100% where I should be.

All for now...
