Another day
How do the days go by so quickly? The days just seem be flying by at a rapid pace. Too fast for me. Too much to do, too little time to do it and less and less time left. I finally finished all 5 of my bird houses....they all needed repainting and refinishing. Now they are done. I can even take a picture of them with my new camera and maybe if I can figure it out (may have to consult Justin for that) can post them on this blog. Although I am not sure why I want to go to all that trouble. If I have TIME, I'll do it eventually! Finishing the birdhouses has been therapy for me...and although my original designs aren't all that fantastic, they were so calming for me to do. Used some new brushes Stacey and kids gave me for my birthday! Golly...good brushes really do help!!
Seems to be a confusing day for me. After several sleepless nights and about 20 phone calls back and forth, finally the doctor (whom I couldn't find...seems he is a retired doc donating time at the clinic - but the pharmacy gave me good information onwhat to do until today) when he saw son, David, today took him off the lithium and put him on Depacote. He was on Depacote one other time, so hopefully he won't have bad side effects this time. Needs meds (I sent another hundred bucks for the Depacote..just for one months supply) needs counseling, needs time for all of this to work. Wants to bolt..want more money..etc. etc.. Just can't be fixed over night..took many years to get to this place...will take TIME to improve. Seems like a month ago (was only two nights ago!) I had my bags packed and was ready to leave for a night ride to WVA. Since my husband wouldn't let me go, I just stayed up all night and did research! It was an education. Same old stuff, just different time. Many questions...few answers. Lots of conversations, and still no answers. We are thankful he has a caregiver for awhile as the doc says he needs one.
Anyway, that was only a few days ago...seems like a month ago! Maybe I am sleep deprived and don't know it. Dave has been handling the phone calls today...helps a lot. Yes, I am just tired.
But...grateful that when I woke up this morning...there was Dave right next to me..breathing softly and Scruffy snoring at his feet!! Yes...it was a great morning! The sun was shining this morning also. Every morning when I see him and hear him....I am grateful. Another good thing. Although it is raining now...the rain is falling softly making millions of tiny ringletts in the river and they they keep floating down in the current. Pretty cool.
Well, enough for now. I have several friends who need lots of prayers...so will concentrate on them today. Plus everyone in our family. Many things going on. Maybe tomorrow I will do better at trying to do this blog thing. Or....maybe not!
But for now...another day...zipping by!
