I so want to see Victoria Falls someday.
 
 Yesterday was tough.  I spent the whole day in bed unable to do much of anything but rest and snuggle Milly.  She spend the whole day by my side.  She must have known I was in bad shape.  EO called me twice yesterday, just checking in on me and making sure I was taken care of.  Which I was, and even though most of the day no one was home, everything was laid out for me, so I could eat when I wanted and had plenty to drink and my meds were nearby.  Then he called last night to see I was doing.  I really really really appreciate his effort.

For a number of times that he would go to MN to hunt, he seldom called, and when I would try to call, he was always busy and distracted.  So I stopped calling.  This is the time of year that he gets his break.  There was an Awake mag a long time ago on Caregivers.  That they need so much support and encouragement as someone who is chronically ill.  They also need a break from time to time so they can "recharge".  Well this trip is a recharge for him.  He not only has me he has to care for but my mom as well, so he needs extra recharging.  I try not to call him unless there is a serious problem that I need his help with.  But because he is so busy and so worn out, I never heard from him.  So I asked him a few years ago, if he could just call and check in before he goes to bed, because I just needed to hear his voice, and needed to know he was safe.  So he does that now.  I told him, I worry so much about him while he is gone, that I end up getting kind of worked up about it... not upset, but I tend to panic.  I also try not to complain while I talk to him, I just keep it simple about what we are doing and that everything is going fine, so that he doesn't have to worry and he can just enjoy his vacation.  

EO has so much on his mind right now.  He is worried about what is going to happen to my mom and if he and lauren are going to loose their jobs if she has to go into an assisted living and what we will do about that.  And because my health has taken a rapid decline.  I just want so much for him to enjoy his trip.  He called me early this morning because he got a nice 6pt buck this morning.  He has been working so hard and just not able to get anything. All he has left is a doe tag. Which he should be able to fill today or tomorrow.  I know he is breathing easier now because he has some meat on the table for us.  He was sure worried about that.  With so few deer around here and 5 people back in the house, he was really concerned.  It has been a tough hunt this year, because it is just too warm, the deer aren't in rut real heavy and they aren't moving much.  I had hoped they would have snow on the ground but they don't have that either.  So he is working his behind off.  Now that I can eat more kinds of meat that helps, but we depend on venison the most.  So I had to thank Jehovah profusely for providing.  EO said if he doesn't fill the tag by tomorrow night he might just come home.  I do hope and pray that he can fill it before he leaves.  That would take so much pressure off him for hunting here in WI.  

I still have some rib pain today but it is better. I an handle being up more, but I am oh so very tired.  At least I am not having the spams I was having yesterday.

Steph is getting ready to go to work.  Colton is sleeping as he worked all night.  Lauren will go to work later on.  There is always somebody coming or going.  Now today, Colton will be home sleeping until later this afternoon.

I am just going to putter through today. No big plans, just diddle.
