Hunkered down

Well it's been almost a month since I posted.  My thoughts have been trapped in my mind as it has been challenging on a couple of fronts, but still getting better.  Getting used to Tamoxifin and my system has been off for a few weeks so trying to lay low and enjoy the rest of the summer.  We went to the Chicago & Doobie Brothers concert with part of the vacation croo and that was great.  Bill was able to capture the bands dedication to fighting breast cancer highlighted by a pink stage.  Enjoyed every wonderful moment with our friends, the music, the laughter, and singing!  My hands don't like clapping.  They were angry hands the next day and did not want to be used, but like most of these physical reactions, it levels out and was a good reminder of a fun night. 
Another life transition is my dad decided to move to Maple Suites in Dover.  A completely independent retired living community where he has his own apartment.  They serve all the meals, clean, etc so it is a safe and good environment.  It was still a very emotionally difficult move for all of us and we are working with him to ensure he is feeling supported and comfortable. 
This leaves us with the task of selling Highland St and we had the big yard sale the weekend after Labor Day.  Even though my parents had purged a lot over the years there is still so much to do - as many of you know.  My dad wants to make sure it's sold in 2012 before the full blown winter has arrvied.  I should be listed this coming week.  We'll go back this weekend to prep some more.
Life keeps moving so must we all.  So off I go to work.  Just wanted to get a quick post in as the check in calls had been increasing.  Thank you for that.  xoxo
