Uh...

Can I just wish the next ten days away?  Tomorrow Ernie leaves for an antique show which promises to be lousy.  Tomorrow afternoon I will leave work, pick up the boys, bring them to my Mom's house, go back to work, go do something I don't want to do (a radio interview) then go to the grocery store and buy stuff for the lunch on Friday (guests) and then pick up the boys and go home and cook and clean up the house (I still haven't put the living room back together since the party).  Then Friday I will take the guys to school, then rush to my mother's house and take her to the doctor, rush her back home and go to work.  When I get off at noon I will go to my mother's house and meet her friend and daughter who are visiting from out of town.  Then I will get her in the car and take her to our house along with the company.  Then I will attempt to get her up our way too steep wheelchair ramp without Ernie.  Cross your fingers.  Then I will serve lunch.  Once they take off I will shuttle my mother back home. Then I will collapse. Saturday I will start emptying the office to make it into a bedroom for Judi.  Thankfully my friend Ann  will come and help clear and pick a paint color.  Then I'll go buy a mattress.  Sunday more of the same.  Ernie will then come home and tell me how much money he lost.  Monday will be way busy at work.  Tuesday I have to give the damn lecture.  Wednesday I hope I don't have to work late.  Thursday evening there will be a work dinner.  Friday evening there will be a work reception.  Saturday will be work events all day long and then a dinner.  Sunday will be work events all day long and then a dinner.

sigh.

Well the current plan is for Judi to come that following week, the week of the 27th.  She has another round of chemo next week and she is pretty adamant about doing it there.  I wish she'd come here but I understand.  I just worry about how she's going to get through that next round.  Her caseworker visited her yesterday and told her that if she wants to go to Illinois she really needs to go---that with this disease even a couple of weeks can make a huge  difference.

Ernie talked to his oncologist's office today and they said he would take Judi as a patient.  So now we have a Family Oncologist.  HA!

She sold all her books to a used book store yesterday.....and saw her lawyer to finalize paperwork.

I can't wait until she's here.
