 It snowed here overnight and since the temps were in the teens, even the roads were covered. Even though it was only an inch or so schools were closed for that reason.
I love the quietness of the snow, less traffic and other activity. Good reason to chill out, or in this case curl up with a book and keep warm.
 My poor feral kitty Bitsy managed to hobble up the steps for breakfast but I imagine she has crawled back into the garage for shelter.
 Jim called me around 8:30 this morning from the dialysis unit at Deershead. It is directly across the hall from his and a full Freesenius unit that also treats daily patients.
His stay there so far has been totally positive and I am hoping it stays that way.
They brought in a clinatron bed yesterday and are still trying to find a way to make the transfer without his bending his back. It looks very comfortable and I was tempted to try it out but it wasn't covered yet and I didn't want to get caught!
 Things have been going smoothly with us since the trip to Hopkins. The distance between us physically has been beneficial for me. I am able to plan my time without feeling neglectful of him. I have had time to waste, not constantly jumping from one crisis to another.
 I have also been having some interesting dreams, touching base with friends from the past...I am not sure if I am saying goodbye to all that but it sort of feel that way..
 Maybe I am making way for our new future without so much illness and stress. I hope so.
 I actually feel better all over and found myself laughing and joking on the phone. Haven't done that for a while..
