Homecoming...

There was a knock on my door very early this morning.  I scrambled to put on some clothes and answer the door.  It is strange how Maggie knows who are friend or foe at the door.  She jubilantly did her happy dance and started to whine.

I opened the door and was so surprised.  "Oh, thank you Lord!" I said at the sight of Joyce.  "Come here and give me a big hug!"

"How are you feeling?" I then asked.

"Oh, I am okay," she said sheepishly. "I still have delusions about God."

"You look well," I replied. "I love your new hair-do!"

"Will you do me a favor?" Joyce asked. "Help me remember to take my nightly medications."

"I will call you after Dad leaves at night," I told her.

She didn't stay long.  You could tell she was still shaky.  I am just overjoyed she is home though.  Joyce is such a outgoing and gregarious person and makes living next to her interesting.  She promised me a fried chicken and turnip greens supper soon.  I can't wait!

I'm so happy Joyce is home too. Some company for each of you. I hope she's well enough to stay for a while this time.

You really have a tough decision with your mom. How about talking it over with Charlie? Like you said, you know right from wrong, and you'll make a decision.

It got so cool here overnight. I think it will only be about 60 today. I'll be at work, but plan to spend every minute outside when I get home.

Happy Wednesday!

PS...I love Wired magazine. I asked Emily to get me Fast Forward magazine for my birthday. Love that one too.

YEAH....I am so happy for Joyce and for you that she is back home. You are both good neighbors to each other and you can both relate to each other in many ways one of them being that you are friendly and caring people. Andrew I hope that you have a good day. I hope that soon Joyce and you can sit out on the patio and perhaps have a good meal together. Do you know if she is planning on going back to work? You mentioned she seemes a bit shakey I think everyone who deals with things that we all do gets shakey once after the hopsital stay especially if it is a long stay which hers was.

Just me saying hi again. I hope that everything went fine with your shot. I think it is nice of them to let you know that the nurse you know gave it to you. Why are the other nurses afraid to give it to you? Is it because it is such a strong dose? I have thought of you today and hope that you are taking great care of yourself. I think you should pat yourself on the back for doing really well this past months and even up to this time of getting your shot you have been stable. I hope that you have a good evening.

Yay! Joys is back. Let's hope she is better this time than last time. She was gone much longer and things seemed quieter than her last return.
