It's Friday but

I really don't care and this has been a crazed time with the temperatures and all to some that do know me I have been rather buy and on the go. Yesterday was the height of it all as to walk back into this Oncology department brought back so many things. There are things in life that do throw one off. When we left he is all within the clear and here he thought that he had only a few weeks to live. However when we left it was good new but I don't think he has realized how hard this has been on everyone else. That was stress as I was going to come back on when I arrived home but man it's been cold - far colder than most would imagine and I hope just for one thing today - relaxation and no family drama as it's hard to handle. But it's Friday and I hope to just enjoy the indoors as literally I have been out in it ever day and the knees are not what they were. Yet this is today and hopefully all things will be just fine.

I know it's time to take a pause period...

    Yeah I know and I must - the weather has been a bitter clamy cold and
    as things progressed this week - I knew my father would be facing his
    review as he thought he had merely a few weeks to go and I can certainly say
    that after all was done. Literally I can say I just got under the overs after a
    hot bath and watch TV last night as it was that cold. Too cold.

    Ive read bad weather causes depression, I know by experience its very hard helping a sick parent also heartbreaking, you sound like youre doing the honorable thing by standing by your father, I'm so sorry your family is going through this, such is life, I hope you get to stay home and relax this weekend Jack.

    Pam, I don't suffer from depression.....but I do find that I do have my trigger points and family is one of them.

    good to know your father is doing okay. Now it is time to relax and forget about other people. Just get out the music and a good book. or go find a tape of Spenser's Mountain

    I'm sorry for the stress this week, thankfully your father is in good health. Frigid cold is no fun when you have to be out in it all the time, and no fun when it affects your joints. Hope the weekend can bring you some quiet time.

    Thanks you do those things that are called upon you but then there comes a time you
    have to walk away - it sounds not all that great but he is much too proud and
    there is always an anger towards me. So I look the other way and go about my own
    day.

    I did Sharon....one can get lost within all the situations with family
    I don't he has a manner that changes day and night - so I just go about
    my own path as I just arrived in now.

    Thanks for your quick visit to my place. Do come back often! Sorry about your dad and the cold weather. Seems like the weather has gone crazy everywhere the past year, with no hope of it getting back to normal in the near future.

    I'll be joining you this weekend with some 'me' time. We all need it every now and then to renew ourselves. I agree Jack, it's too cold to be outside. I'll be staying in keeping warm sipping a hot cup of tea. Wishing you a peaceful weekend!

    This is a day of renewal - the coffee is on, it's cold as ............. and there is no sun in line so within just getting things all done - this is my choice and boy I can't wait for spring to say the least Theresa!
