Hi Hope, its good to hear from you...I don't have much time at all today, but tomorrow I'll try to get over to visit you.

things seem to finally be going well, although H is not sleeping well again, the last 2 nights, and is a little grumpy, and that makes me anxious. I think he is stressed at work trying to get ready to go on vacation for 2 weeks, and "wound up", but it is hard for me not to worry that it has to do w/ow. D called me yesterday at work, worried about her H (our SIL) being terribly depressed and upset that he's entered the wrong profession...SIL told me when I called him he thought he was having a "quarter-life" crisis (guess that's from a song?) but then after H got home from working a 12 hour day, he had to counsel SIL, and said he just feels "drained", he doesnt have much to give...that concerns me, because that's part of how he got sucked into A....BUT at least he is talking about it now, and I am smart enough to listen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

h tried to get his ring on this morning before work, his finger is swollen again, and he couldnt, he swore about that a little, but he did say "At least I could get it on for Tuesday, that's when I really want to send a message (to ow at work)!!!!!!!!!!! I never thought I would hear those words. Praise the lord!!!!


been around awhile!
