i guess the last time i posted was saturday morning. Arlina slept until sunday evening, then woke up and was hungry. she had pretty good days monday and tuesday, but felt crappy today and slept a lot. it has been a roller coaster, and i am worn out.

i did do something that has made the long stretches a lot easier--i bought an ipod. it's pretty cool. i went home the other day while arlina's sister sat with her, and downloaded a bunch of cd's into it. somebody said that it would be a refuge for me, and they were right.

i still walk when i can, and take pictures. I bring them back and show them to her.

this is much too difficult for words

Yes, and it is a roller coaster one cannot voluntarily get off.

*prayers*

Photographs, iPod tunes, Live Journal, Family, Friends...

...those are the easy ones. You probably don't have time or energy to be counting much farther...

I'm getting two cats! In case you don't have time for reading, either.

Music is a wonderful refuge-- it has been for me, all my life. I'm happy to hear you made that small investment in your own well-being, because you need to have something in order to have something to give... y'know?

Thank you for the update. Still thinking of you guys every day...

hello friend,
it's good to see you.
I am so happy to hear about the ipod. I am in the process of making you another cd- this one has some local music including some that Dean and our friends recorded in the 90's I am hoping you enjoy it. You have both been in my thoughts often and I am praying that peace wraps you in it's soft embrace, that worries and angst rest in a quieter place. May God's grace keep you and Arlina, Mike.
warmest, brightest blessings,
Vaysha

It's good to see you. I was wondering how you both were since you hadn't posted for a bit. I'm so glad you did something soothing for you. I can feel your fatigue in your words. Just take care, and know that there are so many people that love you both.
((((hugs))))
