Never enough time. Never enough energy

We went to the boat for one night.  Worked on painting projects down there and then came home the next day.  Roger has been pretty wiped out.  And, for some reason so have I.  Maybe its a dreary rainy Saturday which has done this.   And as has been the case on so many other days/nights, when Roger is worn out its pretty darn quiet around the house.  He naps on and off and I try to do projects around the house.  Today was an off day for some reason.  Hoping tomorrow is much more focused and energized for me.  For Roger, taking it easy isn't such a bad thing.

Boat motor is getting very close.  The mechanic should have one more weekend to fully assemble the boat motor.  And then we are ready for warm weather and relaxation!!

We're trying to figure out some trips.  The proverbial Bucket List.  I hate the name and the concept of a "Bucket List".  Instead would prefer to think of the trips as exactly that....trips....doing stuff we've wanted to do.  Nothing more, nothing less.  Obviously we are also trying to walk a fine line of what is too much of a trip for Roger physically.  Everything about life seems to be a balancing act.  That however has always been the case, cancer or no cancer.  Life is definitely about balancing. 

Roger has had a couple headaches recently which naturally leaves us both wondering, " is this just a regular headache?  is this something more?  should we be calling the doctor's office?".  Everyday Roger tries to tell me if there is something "odd" he is feeling and I try to capture it in a calendar.  Just in case.  The headache is one example.  Another example is that he still has numbness in his feet.  He ends up needing his feet rubbed in the middle of the night to get the blood flowing again.  Sleep is always in 3-4 hour segments at most.  And with that said, I think we are going to dance our way upstairs to bed.
