Happy New Year

In spite of being sick since the 23rd of December I had an enjoyable Christmas.  Unfortunately I had to miss most of the festivities since I was in bed for a week but my daughters were thrilled with a visit from their half-brother.  Their first Christmas together.

I can't believe the year is quickly coming to an end.  Ron and I have had a blessed year.  His first year without cancer surgery.  I got my painful hip replaced.  My brother managed to make it another year living on his own (with assistance).  My daughters are finally on the mend from their shoulder surgeries.  All in all a very good year.

Ron signed up for his social security last night on the computer.  I can't believe he will be 66 in February.  I will follow shortly.  I'm excited about what the next year may bring.  We will both retire August 1st (or at least that's the plan as of today).  The next 6 months will fly by I'm sure.

Next week Ron has a routine CT scan and results.  I have a follow-up with the hip surgeon and our dog gets her teeth cleaned.  Busy week.  I still can't help but hold my breath every time Ron has a scan but the anxiety is a little less....on a scale of 1 to 10 I'm about an 8 now when it comes time to get the results.  I don't live waiting for the other shoe to fall but at the same time I' m aware that it could.

Here's wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!
