My friend with cancer continues to deteriorate. His skin is jaundiced and he is in pain and without much appetite. But he is in good spirits. He says that he is ready and will only miss Tracy and Austin.
I went to the State Fair with Tracy and Austin on Sunday. Tracy decided to watch while Austin and I proceeded to ride every thrill in sight. Yesterday (Monday) Tracy picked Austin up early from school because he was really sore in the neck. I think it was payback: I was sore and bruised after Cliff's with Austin and this was his turn to be sore after all the rides. (Don't tell him that my back is sore today.)
Friends have really gathered around during this time in community. I'll write more about that soon.
For now, I have to find out if I am supposed to be at a speaker's training with United Way. If so, I need to cancel a hypnosis client. Meanwhile, at work, I fired an employee on Friday and am interviewing and hiring two more positions. Plus the shelter is in search of an executive director.

When I was a kid I looked forward to growing up so I could deal with loss and not be scared anymore. The best I can do as an adult is tell myself that bad things happen and that's part of life. Just be sad when I need to be sad. Did I tell you that my dog, Joy's dog and Luke's mom's dog all died in August?
I thought you were going to be better about blogging?
