Am I on vacation yet?

Well, I don't know where and when vacation will actually enter my hemisphere, but I seem to have taken on new jobs lately. This week I sucked leaky water in our basement with a wet vac; today I ripped out moldy carpet and dry wall with my brother. I'm supposed to be on vacation from SPM, and I am supposed to be painting J & R's paintings!!!

Kurt came home Christmas day which was super. If all goes well, he will go in January 15th to start the stem cell transplant procedures. My stepdad is out of the hospital, and on his way to slow recovery, using a walker--it's really tough considering two months ago he was just riding his bike in Europe and hiking in the Grand Canyon.

Wishing all of you a Happy and Healthy 2009! - jani

Christmas

Happy Holidays.  The latest Kurt crisis is that he's in the hospital at least through Friday with an infection. He's not happy! Our Christmas will be different this year, but we will all be together and that's what matters.  I'm planning a picnic and the Muppet's Christmas Carol movie for entertainment.  Please keep Kurt in your prayers.  Merry Christmas to all and thank you for your love and support.

Kurt was much better today--one more day of chemo for this round. I'm home and heading out to make a snow angel or two--could be painful if the snow is crunchy! Thanks Al for snow blowing our sidewalks!
