LAZY SUNDAY, AS THEY SHOULD BE
Not much happening today. I woke Kathi up calling her this morning. Wish I hadn't done that. All the moving and coming to see me and getting the condo ready to lease is wearing on her. That is a lot to dump on one person. My back started hurting while she was here and I feel asleep. She's back at the farm now and I'm sure cleaning and unpacking. I wish there was something I could do to help but there just isn't. All of you who are the caregivers out there deserve a lot more thanks and help than those of us in my condition can give. I know that, at least at times, this effort is much harder on you all than us. So thank you.
I got some pain meds for my back and then won my first chess game against the computer in ages. Long ago I was a pretty good chess player but no longer. We didn't use a clock and games would easily last two hours or more. If any of you are interested in playing by email I would like to try it. I really do suck now but I'd love to get better again and I promise not to cheat.
Hope you're having a good day.

I would play with you if I knew how, but you would whup my azz. My dad used to play against his brother via snail mail...YEARS ago. Maybe that is something I should try to learn...although I doubt I have the patience now. Glad to hear you had an uneventful weekend. And don't feel guilt...you are fighting for your life. I am sure she understands.

oh, and p.s. am thinking about either buying a boat or taking flying lessons. Watch out coast guard or faa...I may be on the loose..
I'd love to play. I'd have to learn notation to play by email but that isnt difficult. I wonder if there is an app for multiplayer online chess play? The research shall commence immediately. Glad to hear you're doing better. Hang in there man. Talk to you soon.

I know I don't know you, but you sound great. All except the guilt. Don't go there. Guilt is never the place to go. It sucks. Go to Figi, or Nantucket but stay away from guilt. It's not like you are choosing to not help your wife. I'm sure you would rather strap the furniture from the condo on your back and walk it to the farm (see--I do read your blog). I'm hoping you are up for some laps around the unit soon and eating like, well, like you haven't in a long time...soon. I'll be here...lurking on your blog like a stalker. But a stalker that is really wishing you well.
Not cheat? you can play without cheating?... I did not know that was possible.
I'm glad I we were all in the room together too. That was nice. Glad to hear things are going ok.... I pray you have turned the corner from the hard part and are on your way to the good.
Sunglasses or headache? I guess you get to decide. I know what I would do.
With Love and Prayer,
Donor Girl
