Moving started in earnest today....one trip to Brasada to store all the Christmas tubs......another trip tomorrow with more garage stuff. Also working on a reconditioning of a family cedar chest that has been in the works for many years...time to quit procrastinating and get it done....then it goes to Wendy and Taigen.
Oh...and a trip to the dump was a highlight of the day....
Linda did much better today..took a light regimen of pain pills which made her day much easier....also getting on top of the ostomy procedures....thanks to neighbor Liz who delivered some Costco Marie Callender's chicken pot pies for Linda...too much fat but Miss Wood needs some fat....actually she has been eating well....and taking her meds....Tuesday we will see her back on chemo and all....
ps...we made it in the Wings E newsletter that went out to over 5000 homes....
Winging It! Dave Wood - "A Journey Through Cancer"
"We both learned to not live in the future as it destroys not only the future but the present. We learned to be present moment to moment." - Dave Wood
"When I first decided to write about our journey through cancer I felt at one point as if I had the complete story... and then when I tried to put the words on paper, which is normally easy for me, I found it was not possible."
By the way, I published this entire article on a previous blog date...we are already getting great comments back as a result of the above published article.

Glad to hear you are doing well enough to plan for Florida, that is fabulous. Don't you go lifting now, Linda. You just give the orders and make sure everyone follows them. I really enjoyed the cartoons, Dave. Best laugh I had all day. Love you both. Judy
I printed out the article when you posted it in the Blog and then of course read it again when I received my Wings Newsletter... I have also shared your story with many...especially when someone is in there stuff and worrying about the future or the past. It is a great letter to have to remind us all of living in the present...I of course am reminded of the very first book you gave for me to read "The Precious Present"...
I luv you both and Ray and I will be coming over to help with the move..
This is happy news. For a while, it seemed as if it were all just too much. (Which is was, but we won't go into that.) Now you've got the spoon in your hand and you're digging away at that sand dune in front of you.
I can't imagine packing up a house to move on such short notice and here is Dave refinishing a trunk in the meantime. It's no wonder these two have such a successful marriage. They are BOTH dynamos. We knew that of course but it still never ceases to amaze me.
Cyber strength coming your way for all you need to do. And, oh, TravelMom says it has finally warmed up in Florida.
