it's been raining here for what seems like a lifetime. but it's the nice kind of rain where it's steady and perfectly conducive to napping. we should definitely make up for our deficit by the time this is over. the catawba river is full but no flooding. we're lucky here. i feel for the people in georgia who have really been going through hell with all the rain they got. as for me, it's saturday, i've got a stack of new books to read from the local library, the kids have new books too and some movies to watch...so i'm set. let it rain. tomorrow the sun's supposed to make an appearance and stay for awhile. i'm cautiously optimistic. i know this though, this weather is wreaking havoc with my ears. my eardums/barometers are not happy at all with all these pressure changes. my right eardrum is currently trying to retreat into my brain and yep, it hurts and i'm dizzy but things could be so much worse. this ear crap is annoying but it won't kill me. tomorrow i'm going to a funeral for a young man, 38, who died of cancer. he suffered for a long time and there were many times the doctors thought he would make it out okay. his family was by his side the entire time. i never know what to say at times like these. words are not enough. a mother lost her son, two sisters lost their brother. how can i make that better? this is my 3rd funeral in 3 months. all for people who died way too young and all were caused by or contributed to by medical problems.
it makes me realize that while what i have is no fun and i have days where i get really down about it, that i have so much for which to be grateful. this disease won't take my life. it won't take me away from my children or my family. for that i am blessed.
now...what book shall i start with? it's like christmas!!!
