Another crazy weather week! It started out cold and windy but Tuesday and Wednesday were fantastic days. Temps reached 70 and it was sunny for the most part. But, it was not meant to last. Thursday a front came through and we had severe thunderstorms and tornados! It didn't get too bad here but the tornado was not too far from us. It's been lovely the last 2 days, temps in the 60s and sunny. It's not to last though since we are supposed to get snow on Friday and have a high of 34!

Bill has been on the treadmill some this week. He's noticed that with any effort he gets very tired. I've told him it's because of the inactivity and I think he's finally understanding it. So he's been walking more.

We've also made 2 trips to Jonesboro. The first trip was to get a ring inspected to keep the warranty active. We had also planned to shop some but I had a really bad headache so we just did the ring. It takes about an hour to get to the mall and we were gone 2 hours and 15 minutes! We went back today to do the shopping we had planned. Or, the shopping I had planned. I wanted to get a new devotional book and some yarn. We still did well today. Left about 1:15 and were home by 4:15. I had wanted to take Bill out to eat for his birthday tonight, but we didn't feel like just killing time until time to eat.

Bill's 71st birthday is tomorrow and that's 2 years longer than he probably would have lived without the LVAD and transplant. Sounds rather blunt but after Dr. Landolpho told me how many clots were inside his heart when they implanted the LVAD, he probably wouldn't have made it the rest of 2011.

He also showed an interest in his computer this week. He had found some older programs in the apartment after he did his walking and wanted to put them on his laptop. I was very surprised that they installed and can be run since they are so old. He hasn't done much with them since, but this was the first time since we came home that he showed any interest in his computer at all.

We had Brianna and McKenna for a little while after school yesterday and Kayden and Kiyann's other grandma has said she's going to bring them by tomorrow. They are spending the night with her so she said after church they'll stop by. I told here I was going to take Bill out for dinner after church so don't know if we'll miss them or not.

That's all for this week. We still take things 1 day at a time and life is good.
