My New Life and My Future

I'm still trying to get over this flu.  At times I feel better and do a couple things around the house...then BAM I have too get to bed and sleep for two hours, then I try again.  I don't do too much but even the slightest amount of work...the slightest...wears me down.  The coughing exhausts me too.  My abdomen feels like I've done hundreds of sit ups.  All from the coughing. 

Today the temperatures went up to the mid 50s!  Can you believe it?!  How nice...although I didn't really get to enjoy it.  I did open a window in my room and the cats LOVED sitting in it breathing in the fresh air.  All the cats are getting along greatly!  I never thought it would work out so quickly.  With all these warm temperatures I can now see my entire lawn!  ALL of the snow on the lawn is gone!  Yeah!

Again I must mention how blessed I am with all my support here in Saugatuck/Douglas.  Friedl came by Monday night and brought me medicine, Gatorade, made me chicken broth and made me drink it along with eating some crackers.  She set out my medicine for me and told me exactly what time to take each thing...having me set the alarm clock to remind me.  She, of course, woke up sick Tuesday morning (although she claims it is not the same thing I have and that she didn't get it from me).  Last evening Candy brought Marguerite and me burgers from Clearbrook for dinner.  How sweet and thoughtful is that!?  I am so blessed.

I'm home alone.  Marguerite went to Detroit and no guests are here.  A big house all to myself.  (Other than my three babies.)  I'm somewhat lonely, but it's good for me.  A time to reflect and think about my new life and my future.  - Jimmy
