Well, another fine day back at the farm. Morning temperatures of 18 degrees – red sky in the morning – sailors take warning. Snow coming in shortly.
Given the recent snow cover we’re glad to be feeding the deer with all of our wonderful landscaping. They are not afraid to munch right up to the house. With Laurie at the hospital I can work on my au natural deer repellant strategy. Last night had some friends over to watch the Auburn game and they joined in the effort.
Laurie
Laurie continues to make progress every day. Highlight of yesterday was the conquest of tying a bow. She is pleased as punch to outpace Sofia on this task. On a more onerous task she also got herself out of the chair, pivoted and got into bed on her own. Huge accomplishment. Today Laurie goes swimming – floaties are probably in order.
All the appointments have been set in stone as I spent another day hording 8 doctors. It’s sort of like walking in a huge sandbox barefoot and trying to get all the cats out at once. Next treatment 1/26, appointment with Alexander in Baltimore 2/11 (we are going to head down the night before and spend the night in the inner harbor since the appointment is 8:00 AM), follow up with Neuro team on 3/3.
Laurie is returning to her normal frame of mind since both Anika and I have noticed she is starting to complain about everything (including how I fold her laundry) and counting the days until she gets out.
Paul’s Spirits
My spirits situation has improved dramatically. After a quick stop at the liquor store yesterday Kettle One withdrawal symptoms were cured. Luckily a nice bottle of Ron Zocapo 23 year old rum got me through the night before.
Today’s Quote
Humor is our way of defending ourselves from life's absurdities by thinking absurdly about them.
