Been away to that place

It's been a few days since I've posted.
By the time I get a chance to post, I am way too tired.
Lately, I feel like I'm surrounded by fires, slapping at each of them, but not putting any of them out.
At least I can blame it on being behind on too many things and a lack of focus on each of them. Eventually they will all be behind me.
I wish Kathy could see that eventually this will be behind her too.
Some days are a challenge for her to get through.
Some days are a challenge for all of us to get through (note to self; to prevent the impression of over-dramatization, avoid graphic descriptions of actual events in this, use vague cliches instead).
There has been so much to write about.
Kathy's friends are still incredible!
We put a mattress on the pool table so she can be moved out of the same four walls - one of Kathy's best days was when six of her friends came over in one day. Some made food, some climbed on the pool table with her and watched movies, some brought flowers, some just cared for her.
It gave me a chance to check out and veg for a day.
It also came at a perfect time for Kathy. She was slipping fast into a destructive depression.
Thank you girls!!!
My Aunts and Uncles have made trips out. Our motorcycle buddy has been here when everyone else is too busy.
I'm avoiding names this posting because, honestly, I don't remember everyone who has helped this last couple weeks that I have been so slammed at work! I have way too many distractions to keep track of it all, so I'm not naming anyone. You know who you are. You know how grateful we are for your consideration.
Kathy has a steep hill to climb and that realization has sunk in. It's demoralizing. Having friends around distracts her from dwelling on it, keeps her from that place.
Hope to see you soon!
