Burning the candle may have finally caught up with me (and thus me not posting to the blog).  I started to crash Thursday evening and full-on hit the wall Friday.  Spent the better part of Friday afternoon and evening flat on the sofa.  Fortunately Roger felt decent so we didn't have to fight for the sofa.  We actually had a bit of roll reversal.  He "hunted" for dinner Friday evening. 

Today is more of the same though to a lesser degree.  Roger happily continues to feel decent and has been up and about working on projects, runs to the hardware store, etc.  I've stayed close to the sofa. 

As Roger continues to feel better, his brain has been more engaged with thoughts of  "what am I going to do with my time".  The list of projects grows: house-related, boat-related, car-related.  And now, he is starting to think about money-making opportunities. Its exciting and encouraging and really great stuff....but (does there always have to be a but?) a little concerning for me on a couple fronts.  Roger has (and will say the same when questioned), he has this tendency to start up numerous projects. The projects sometimes remain perpetually in varying degrees of completion.  So you have this as the backdrop, now layer on the ever unpredictable nature of how Roger feels or will be feeling.  I'm trying to encourage the completion of existing projects and THEN moving into new projects without stifling creativity.  Maybe sprinkle in some of his art - glass blowing, metal sculpture, etc.  Its all an ongoing learning process.  We're trying to find the right formula and all the while hopefully get Roger more healthy. 

Roger will be going into the oncology center soon to have his port flushed.  If the port isn't regularly accessed, then you have to flush it every 4-6 weeks or so.  His next test will be in March.  He will have a CT scan as part of the regular quarterly scans.  Until then, provided Roger feels alright, there shouldn't be any more doctors' appointments.  Yea!!

Will try to write more tomorrow.  Just wanted to let you know all was fine on this end.  ~a
