Linda is in the middle of the "chemo punies"....she is worn out and has lost interest in a lot of things...not very good company she says....we hope she gets some energy back but realize another chemo this thursday...and we understand it is the chemo that is hurting her but yet keeping her going...the "double edged sword"...
The rain here is outrageous.....
Dave is realizing he has taken on issues on too many fronts...with a family so large...so he is "pulling back" and his focus is on Linda alone....and limit his "sanity".....it will be good...

You are welcome to come to southern California and enjoy more outrageous rain...doesn't seem to be any way to avoid it these days.
I have a case of the Christmas punies as well - it comes after the household empties, the decorations come down and back to the old normal of pre-holiday. Not as festive, that's for sure. But it's also kind of a relief after all the build up and excitement to just exhale and relax, read a book, turn on the fireplace (you have gas, right?), get in touch with the universe, listen to those raindrops and enjoy your two kindred spirits.
We love you guys!

Hi Linda:
Just want you to know that I am thinking about you. Sure hope you feel better soon. Wish there was some way I could help you........
Love, JO
You both are doing a great job with tasks and life issues that are new to most of us. I am very proud of both of you and wish I lived closer. I will also take some of that rain because we have had minus temps for too long. Where is that global warming? Thanks for the blog and keep your energy where it Canby and should be.
Glad you got to spend time with the family. The girls and familys were home and it was great. Wish we lived closer so we could help. You are in our prayer and thoughts.
Love
Al & Barb
I know it's easy to say but don't let this lull get you down. It is to be expected after the huge highs of the holidays. Chemo is a poor substitute for happy family gatherings replete with presents and good cookies. I salute you for doing what you're doing--that is plugging on through it.
Dave, your comment reminds me of a tee shirt many of us travel agents once prized. It said, "Yes, I am in charge of the whole DA..N world." We all laughed at it but then we realized that boundaries help everyone. Feel glad, not bad, about it. You have the strength of thousands but even that benefits from a slightly narrower focus.
Here endeth the sermon.

Looks like you are sending that rain our way. The White Christmas snow that we have been enjoying is expected to melt away on New Year's Eve during a warm spell, including possible thunder storms. We told our grandson to pack snow gear for his overnight stay on Friday. Looks like the plans will have to change. Seems like Mother Nature has lost the holiday spirit.
We all go through the after-the holiday punnies. Too bad we can't save the feeling....guess we have to savor it while it lasts.
I admire the honesty you both display regarding your feelings and your ability to handle the load. Sometimes you just have to scale back for awhile.
