What weather!

Winter won't go away without a fight. Lot's of cold, bone-chilling rain from last night and, supposedly, on into tomorrow evening. Then it does a complete 180 and the temperatures sore into the mid to upper 50's. As they say, in New England, if you don't like the weather - wait awhile.

So what has gone on over the past two days? I continued to get out as we went to the local mall to do some shopping, we visited friends last night and played bridge, we went to church this morning(what a pleasure to be able to make that claim), and then we stayed home to avoid going out in the horrible weather.

Life continues apace and I have a lot of things on my plate - working on the bathroom, studying for my docents course, updating my wife's artist web site(or trying to anyway - having problems find a new web authoring tool to allow me to do it), framing my grandson's wrestling chart from his state championship meet, framing another painting that my wife has done for an upcoming art show, putting together a poster for an event at church,... The list goes on.

Oh! And I have to order some new video boards because the latest web authoring tools won't run with our archaic graphic cards. This requires some research as well. Fun to do but time consuming. I don't know how I will be able to accomplish all of these things if I ever have to go back to work. So we'll just pray that the status quo remains exactly that for a while.

People continue to ask how I am feeling and I appreciate the interest and concern. In a nutshell, I am still feeling fine. Of course, it's only at the doctor's visits when my blood counts are taken that such feelings can be confirmed or denied. But, I'll take feeling fine during the interim.

We're also making plans to visit our friends in New York during April or May. Another huge step forward for me.

With all that's going on, I don't have much free or spare time anymore.

As my wife said, "You wanted your old life back - don't complain!"

She's right - and I love it...
