Good morning, everyone.

Well, I’m sicker today than I have been. 🤒 I felt great all day yesterday, and we even went out for dinner—not a good decision, based on this morning’s hacking and blowing. Sorry, Mark and Barb.

I had plans today to get out of the house and prepare taxes 🤓, but I just can’t risk sitting next to or across from seniors. I’m disappointed—I really don’t like being absent and missing all the interactions with our clients, some of whom I’ve known for 10 years.

On to bigger news…

I’m going the blog route. I can’t believe it! This was the last thing I wanted to do, but it’s going to be the easiest way to keep friends and family up to date on life at 817.

Thank you to Geoff for setting this up. If it had been up to me alone to set up a blog, I don’t think I would have done it. Thank you, Geoff. Can you teach me how to post these entries? 😳

I still need to create a background for people who visit the blog and don’t know my story. I’m trying to write that part, and it’s more difficult than I expected. I want it to be concise but also give readers a vision of who I am… Maybe I’m still trying to figure that out myself. Having a fatal disease really gets you thinking about life and legacy. This may take a couple of days to tweak.

I hope I’m able to continue waking up in the morning, gathering my thoughts as I have for the last six months, and continuing this journal with the same spontaneity I’ve had each morning.

My goals for writing each day remain the same: to inform, share laughs and tears, reveal my fears, hope for a miracle, stay connected, feel your love and support, and prepare for the inevitable.

One of the big questions I have and I don’t know the answer and may never know. Do I ask God to join me on this journey? I just can’t answer that.

Thank you for being a part of the ride.

Love you guys! ❤️
