September 25-30

Day 225-230
The end of September is always so sudden, where the heck did the month go? I thought that it would be different without harvest driving us, but I guess we are busy with something else that is all consuming. That means October is going to fly by too. Perhaps its is just age that makes the difference. Not!
Well, we are into a routine, and doing alright so far. I haven't dropped Glenn or anything drastic, and we are keeping him fed and watered. The therapies are good, and our friend who works with Glenn when I am at work is as determined as anyone to get him back on his feet. They seem to enjoy each other any way and that is a big bonus. There is no word on the funding end, but I'm still hopeful. I must admit that it is very time consuming, and I have to find those jobs I had when the kids were home-you know, the kinds you can pick up and put down - because I'm busy with Glenn's needs, and do the other stuff in between. I had a snooze this afternoon to recharge my batteries, and asked Glenn if I had been snoring. He just smirked and said no. Hmm... that usually means yes!
Next weekend is Thanksgiving already, and that means a whole lot of birthdays and Anniversaries to remember. Mom and Dad officially celebrate 60 years on the 10th of October, so I don't know if the family meal out is a go, or if they are just doing Thanksgiving dinner, but whatever else happens, we will be well fed!
I had a busy day at work yesterday as it was month end. It sure made the day go fast. The weather is fantastic, and the boys are working on the third house shingling job this weekend. It is a bit tougher job, as the house is old and has a very steep roof. So far I haven't had to patch anyone up, so that is good. Colin went to a wiener roast on Friday night, so that is always a bonus for the end of September.
I just reread this post, and feel as though it is just a report on everyday life. We have come a long way, and although there is a fair way to go, this is feeling better all the time. The biggest news will be when Glenn starts to eat, but that could be a long time in coming. Or it could be tomorrow. This recovery is not going by the books at all, and Glenn has beaten some fantastic odds already. I'm trying not to be too impatient, but would like to pull that tube out of his stomach already! That would involve cooking a fair bit more than I am right now, but I think I'm up to it!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
'Til next time,
Louise
