After nursing Lydia through the late hours of Thanksgiving, I succumbed to the same virus in the early hours the day after. How humbling is sickness…
Paul had been sick too and just as he started to feel human (around 1 a.m.) I picked up the baton and continued the race.
I just need a good night’s sleep. Apparently my body didn’t get the telegram and I woke up at 3 for no apparent reason.

On a happy note, the Bean is plugging away in her “big guhs” There have been accidents but she is taking them in stride.

Lately I have really been appreciating the way that C. Riley has been treating Beanie. He is constantly giving her piggy back rides and talking sweetly to her. My heart just fills with delight when I see her smudgy little face next to his, her arms wrapped around his neck. And to hear him using this gentle, inviting tone, “You want another ride, Eden?” – it’s like Mom Crack, the drug, that is.

I will write another time about what we were thankful for on Thanksgiving, since we chose to disrupt a quiet, peaceful meal with what we hoped would be a time of grateful sharing. Dream the impossible dream and sometimes find yourself jousting windmills.
Anyhoo, I’m back…and yes I think my tone is not unlike Jack Nicholson’s in the Shining. Perhaps a little more subdued…slightly… I am tired.

Oh Crazy Cat, My Crazy Cat, Our wake times coincided!
I’m so sorry that you’re still dealing with illness at your house. Ugh. It seems to go on forever sometimes. Glad to hear that you might finally be seeing the other side of it.
Hope you get some good sleep, friend.
