Oh, and updates, too.
This week has been no better in the Feeling Awful department. We are coughing less at night (which is good), and the fever comes and goes usually once daily, instead of several times. (Even better.) I have a big appraisal project that is overdue. I need to get it done. But we both are exhausted.
Whoever feels the least worst (!!!) puts the dogs out/brings them in, does laundry, takes care of internet issues, and chooses something from the freezer or storage to heat up. Thankfully, a singing gig we committed to months ago is now done -- that happened last night. (We slept in until noon to celebrate.)
And our aunt Ruth, the last direct tie to the original Cumings siblings, my mom included --
died Thursday morning. She was one of the most honorable Christians I have ever met, and had a long life full of good. I loved her -- and I love her kids.
When we find out her memorial service, that will be another commitment to take care of.

During the cruise, we made some dear friends. Bill was an Army vet who'd retired from the VA; Debbie did a lot of volunteer work for their church, and enjoyed baking cakes.
They live in San Antonio. (Debbie has only visited the Alamo once, which put her in for teasing.)
I gave Debbie my business card. She gave me her address and phone -- which, somehow during the fog of getting sick and making it home -- disappeared. We want to keep in touch...and I have books to send. Bill or Debbie, if you see this, e-mail us!!

And life goes on.
