I’m exhausted. But the bed says you’re not here. So I procrastinate. I have a little more of what I’ll regret in the morning. I try to write. Sometimes I fall out in my recliner, computer on my lap keeping my legs warm. Maybe that is why I fall asleep so easy in the recliner in your room, it feels like home… You’re watching TV and I’m snoozin’ beside you. You don’t want me to stay up late and I prefer headin’ to bed half past eight. But I can’t sleep on this heavy heart, I need to lay the load down on paper. You worry enough for both of us, to add mine to yours would swamp your boat. I need you to stay afloat. LGR©11/17/17 |

I did Bluesy, I got paid in poppy seed muffins my daughter made. Thank goodness she has been here to hold down the fort and let the dog out. Meanwhile this business of putting on my big girl panties and adulting at the hospital has gone better than expected. ~L |

The prayers are appreciated. One got answered today. They discovered today that they had been giving him 1/2 of his reg. pain med. dose. So now that they have doubled his pain meds he is feeling better. ~L |
