It's turning out to be as my husband says, one of those years....so for me its been hard. I've worn many hats over the years so I have a very eceletic group of people I cherish and call friend. 2009 was a hard year, I lost 13 people I knew, whether they were teachers, classmates, or somehow connected, to me. This year I have buried a classmate, my elementary and high school librarian, my guidance counselor who followed me through 2 schools. My father in law who refused to listen to his doctors and take his heart medications had a major stroke last month, has a clot in his heart, and a host of other health problems related to his heart disease. Learned Thursday a good friend had a heart attack on Tuesday and needed a new stent done. Then DragonRider had his stent done yesterday. Yammer Dan dropped his bike yesterday....can I get through the weekend without a disaster? I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm wiped. That's not even counting the fact I had surgery in February. And I didn't mean to hijack the thread either....just I feel the pain of nonstop insanity.
