December 19

We have to always remember to take the bad with the good. Last night was one of those tough ones. The day went great until about 10 o'clock. I had what can only be termed as an anxiety attack. I could not settle down and I was wide awake. I just wanted to be close to Kath and my skin seemed to be crawling. I finally settled down in bed around 1:30 am. Felt like a little kid, because I slept with the lights on. Was able to sleep until 5 am. Day certainly picked up however. Barry stopped by and put in a new kitchen light fixyure for us and then took me on a mile walk. Had lunce at Burger Ki9ng with Carl and got a surprise visit from my ex-principal, Bill Spivey. Glad gto hear that his cancer is disappearing. I'll plan to be there also soon after my treatments. After lunch, Mike Strickling, old friend of over 20 some years, showed up and took me for a walk of about two miles. It is amazing how my spirits pick up after a nice long walk with a friend! Thanks to all! Plan on visiting Jeff and Celeste with their new son, Matthew later. Tonight, hopefully, Bill Rupp will show up to take me on an evening walk. Good cheer to all! I'll keep you informed!
