The Famous 2 Weeks!

 Seems everything is a 2 week wait. Even the covid started out as a 2 week quarantine. . 

Down to the final 2 weeks to closing. Most of the moving is done, many things have sold off lightening the load. Change of address under way and reservations for a mini vacation at the time of closing. Doctor appointments and surgeries begin the following week....

Still a lot to do and many 'unknowns' in the process. I was really hoping we could get him settled in before surgery, but it's not to sure at the moment. Still need a few miracles to take place and some stars to align. 

So far there have been blessings too many to count. Things happening in ways we never expected. So much has already been positive and helpful, one can't help but think this too shall work out. 

Blind Faith.

Cats are getting nervous, hanging out in the kennels more. Chanelle has taken to hoarding the cat food and hiding it under the mat in her little cave. She's pretty lost at the moment. We come and go so much, she doesn't know where we belong anymore. 

I must say he's doing pretty good at staying stable with all that's going on. These are the big changes that can make or break a person. It's a bit stressful when the answers don't all add up yet, but as I said, he's doing really well at progressing through this. 

It seems spring has finally started to arrive with chilly winds pushing winter away. A few nights of freezing temps, and plenty of sunshine during the day.... so glad it's now not previously during the cold and rain that 'moving' had to take place.

All this wraps up and ends just before Mother's Day. Not sure where I'll be that weekend. Would have been nice to see the kids before this all comes together. Cause we are not sure where either of us will end up at that point. 

For now all is normal....

Hanging Close

 Hello, and thanks for stopping by.......

 The house - selling, moving.... this is the kind of event that is critical to folks that struggle with changes. I'm hanging close. With all the medical and bleeding and blood clots.... and now cancers, you never know what will happen next. After so many years on medications, I think they too are starting to have effects on his health. So with this added stress, I'm concerned. I carry nitro for his heart just in case!

 While I believe this move will be the best thing for him, once it's done and he's set up and established. The transition part, has been and continues to be - difficult. Unknown variables make it harder to cope, for folks that struggle with change. Not being able to make decisions until the last minute are also difficult. The more you can plan and stick to the plan, the easier the transitions are. The variables ~ 

  Not to mention all the surgeries and biopsy's to come starting next month. The mind can only handle so much on a good day. I keep reminding myself I asked God for help with all this, and as soon as He took over, things started working out. For the most part. Once Papa started agreeing with the logical solutions, God was able to really go to work! 

 Things are happening and it'll be all good on the other side. It's just getting there. Sometimes you feel like giving up, can't handle it, don't want to handle it anymore. I hate the phrase "this isn't fair", cause if I even start to think it, a little voice, reminds me "I never promised fair in this life, need I remind you of all I've done for you?" and I immediately bite my tongue take a deep breathe and dig in again. 

 That little voice has been a loud power in my life, I've learned to listen. 
I know they say your crazy if you hear voices in your head. Read the Bible and you find out God comes to you in 'a little voice'. So it makes sense that society that doesn't believe in God would want to call you crazy for listening to God? That voice has saved my life many times, led me in the right direction, delayed me to spare me, with some near misses..... The list of miracles and blessings are endless. 

 There is light at the end of this tunnel, a future that looks pretty good. Sometimes all we can do is breathe, enjoy the moment, look for the good and keep going. Don't need to understand it all, right now. For now I'm hanging close and making sure he's coping with the process okay. One day at a time.
