Wait a minute.
This might be it.
This might just possibly be... normality returning.
The shop is open again, and stocked with geeky goodness.
For the first time in three weeks, no one in the house is taking narcotics.
And best of all..
This two person canoe?
I'm no longer paddling it solo!
It is amazing how much easier life works when it is not just one person pulling the household along.
Big E has been cleared to be active. He has started leaving the house for more than just doctor's visits, and (hold on to your socks) he's started driving again. He has two weeks to rebuild his strength and stamina before he returns to work.
Yesterday? He loaded the dishwasher and washed some dishes.
It's like we're being pulled along by a current, instead of fighting uphill against the rapids.
