I guess it's about time

Boy where does the time go. Can't believe I haven't written since September. Actually this is just off the cuff, as I don't have any thing in particular in mind.
Cathy's sister "Snookie" passed away Nov. 7Th. Very sad. She had emphysema. A sixty year smoker. Cathy is a sixty year smoker. Can't quit. She has emphysema real bad. Her quality of life is going in the tank. No one can reach her. She is going to do it her way. To the bitter end. I have learned to cope. The serenity to endure the things I cannot change.
The other sad part of the wake and funeral. I picked up a germ. Been sick ever since. I've had this before. Sore throat one day, cough the next, sneezing,etc. Then comes the earache. Had it for days on end. My head is full. Ringing in my ears. When I speak, it's like I'm in a barrel. I am seeing my doctor today. Of course right after I made the appointment, I felt better.
I have joined a group of golfers. Three really neat guys. Was playing nearly every week day. Missed a few times because of feeling under the weather. Will get back again next week. Never thought I would enjoy cold weather golfing. Never thought I would enjoy being 80. Never thought I would like my computer. That's my problem. I don't think enough.
I shut the farm down the end of October. Very sad. I should have waited. The weather has been warm. Could have been still going up. Ah well. Other things to do. Looking forward to the "wrap" party at Carl's. Am thinking about a trip. Don't know where or when. It depends on how Cathy is. I may even go solo. But it would have to be with her blessings. Am not sure how she would feel. Requires more thinking.
