What's the theme?

I'm not sure what the theme or overall thought is for the post tonight.  We are on the eve of yet another trip to the hospital for another procedure.  Bright and early tomorrow we go to St. Vincents Hospital. Roger will have an endoscopic dialation...stretch the esophagus/stomach junction.  They will also endoscopically scope his stomach to see if he has ulcers.  All things considered, we are pretty mellow about the whole thing.  Its a drag he has to go back in and always a little unnerving to think about Roger being sedated yet again.  If he ends up feeling better and feeling like he can swallow better, then its worth a few unsettled moments.

Roger road the roller coaster of bad days and good days this week.  I am happy to report Roger actually has had a couple decent...almost downright good days. (and here I thought I'd never know another good day for Roger).  He even went down to the boat Tuesday and came back Wednesday.  Said he was able to get some projects done, ate a lot and actually slept alot.  It was thrilling to hear but personally a little bit of a bummer for me.  I so rarely see any good Roger days....that I hate not being with him when he is actually having a good day and feels decent.  His personality comes back.  He's chirpy and funny and teases and is just generally affectionate.  The bad days, he's lost in a world of pain and discomfort.  Anyway, its a good thing he feels better.  The other bummer for me lately is even if Roger is feeling better, I've been absolutely buried with work. So, when we've been home together, I've had to spend endless hours working on the computer, drafting marketing materials, working on presentations, and dealing with the dreaded email.  I don't know about you guys but I've about had it with email...its nonstop....breeds like bunnies.  You no sooner deal with one email when another TWELVE arrive in its place.  Holy hell!! Do you think its ridiculous for me to think we'll ever go back to fax machines? How about carrier pidgeons?

Roger is going to move the boat this weekend to the new slip up north from Louisville near Vevay/Madison Indiana.  Its a pretty little marina that will be 15-20 minutes closer to Indy.  The other benefit to the marina is that its close to Mom and Dad's river house in Vevay.  They said they would check on the boat throughout the winter when they go to the river house.  The trip this weekend - Sunday I think - should be wonderful though the weather may be a little funky.  I won't be able to join because I have a presentation on Monday and then another one out of town on Tuesday.  Its a total drag that our schedules won't coordinate.  I'd love to go.  The leaves will be beautiful... and more simply.... I hate to miss spending time with Roger on the boat, at the house, in the grocery, wherever.  Also, funny as it will sound I am a little melancholy that we are leaving our Louisville marina where we've spent the last 4-5 years (I think its been that long).  Oh well, new memories to come I'm sure.

Just wanted to give a quick update.  Unfornately....I've got to get a few more work things done. before I collapse in bed to reboot and start all over again tomorrow.    

Hoping you all have a wonderful weekend! hugs, a
