It’s been five days since my last post. (I sound like a parishioner in confession, don’t I?) I don’t know where the time goes but I do stay busy with Kate and I’m still doing most of the cooking, all of the grocery shopping, and laundry. But —- I don’t mind it at all. It’s good that husbands learn how to do the things that our wives have done for us all of our marriages. Far too many husbands lose their wives and they are lost because they never learned to do the “domestics”. And far too many start looking for another wife right away because they can’t handle their own affairs. I learned routine housekeeping as a child to include laundry, dusting and other stuff that were my “chores”. But I never learned to cook which is a good thing because my mother was not a good cook. 

We’re having another visit with Kate’s surgeon today. Hoping for good words and plans. She is scheduled a Barium exam on Wednesday which will hopefully provide the final “go” for her surgeon to do the resection. We know we have to put her on Lovenox injections for four days prior to surgery, so hopefully we can get that started right away. 

We woke up to a non responsive furnace this morning. So, I called our HVAC company, Schneider Heating and Air and luckily they were able to send a technician out first thing. The igniter had gone out on the furnace. So, $211.00 later, we have heat. Our system is now 20 years old. Hopefully it will hang in there for a few more years. 

That’s it for today. It’s a dreary rainy & chilly day. Stay warm and safe. Peace.
