Tough Week...so far

What a week - and it's not even Friday yet. My friends, Susan and Dennis, have been dealing with major health issues for Dennis. He's been battling thyroid cancer, which they thought was one of the two most treatable kinds; but in the last week he's suffered a stroke and the cancer is spreading. He had brain surgery on Saturday, and was transferred to a rehabilitation center today. He has been accepted at MD Anderson Cancer Hospital in Houston, so it's just a matter of time before they head to Texas. Please keep them in your prayers. They are a very special couple, and Dennis is only a year older than me.

Also got news today that another friend lost her sister-in-law. She had been in a coma for about 4 weeks. She leaves 3 young children. So, so sad!

Put that together with some "abnormal" work issues, and it's been a long week! I am so glad tomorrow is Friday - not only because I get a 3 day weekend (I'm off Monday) but because Kaitlin is coming home for 3 days! They don't have classes on Monday, so she took 3 days off work and is coming home to see momma and daddy! AND her pets! She really misses them. One of the guys she went to Heights with is riding home with her tomorrow evening. She doesn't get off work until 7 so they should make it to Wichita by 10pm. We've been chatting online off and on all week, and we're both so excited we can hardly stand it!


My CD player isn't working in my car right now. I'm going to use the CD cleaner on it - when I find it! I hope that's all it needs. Can't afford to replace it right now.


I'm so excited about Donny Osmond being on Dancing with the Stars. You probably remember 2 years ago when Marie Osmond was on and I was obsessed with it. I've never watched this show except for when the "Osmond" connection was on it. I'm rooting for Donny all the way. I think he's one of the best, and if they can quit complaining about his age, he'll kick some booty. He'll be 52 in December, and that's still younger than me!


Looking forward to the weekend...supposed to be beautiful weather and I can spend it with the hubby and daughter. Hope the boys come home soon because I'm missing them too!

VACATION

On vacation for a few days (return to work on Thursday)...here's where I wish I was... I plan on enjoying some peace and quiet...and possibly, if I get motivated, getting some cleaning and organizing done in the office area of the basement. We'll see if that motivation arrives (it's not here yet)... Good news for Park City residents...recycling came to town the first of January. We are charged $4.00 month (added onto our already high water bill); but it has lowered the price of our trash pickup. The company P.C. contracted with has a much lower price than the company we use. Our company matched the price, so our trash bills went down (considerably) AND we get to recycle. We can recycle almost all our plastics, newspapers, cardboard, aluminum cans, cereal boxes, glass, motor oil, etc. We've got two big bags to set out tomorrow. Just doin' our part for the environment. We are without hot water right now...our hot water heater needs a new thermo-couple? It's a fair

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore
