Yesterday I told Ashley that we needed to start counting the tender mercies in our lives. Sometimes life gets so overwhelming that we forget to count. This week is a marathon for me and for Bryan. He gets to see how many Doctors he can see in a week, and I get to see how much I can work at 2 different jobs.
The new grocery store opening in Salem, hired me last week with out even interviewing me. (I did drop off a resume and new some people) I started there a little last week and now this week. I will do my normal 25 hours at Boulder Ranch but I am helping them in the Book Keeping department and probably doing some cashiering also. Yesterday I started at 6 am and worked at the store until 1 and then went to Boulder Ranch from 1:30-5:30 and then back to the store until 10. The store had a family night visit to show off the new store. Tender mercy - Bryan, Mom, Jeff, Carly, Logan, Savannah, Isabelle, Mike and Ashley all came to lend support.
This morning I was back at the store at 5:30 until 12:30 and then Boulder from 1-5 and back to the store until 8:30. I think there must be an easier way to make money. Tomorrow will calm down a little I am not going into the store and I don't have to be to Boulder until 8 am. It will be nice to sleep in.
Bryan's appointments went well I guess. Every doctor gives him more prescriptions to have on hand, just in case--pain, nausea, diarrhea... he told the doctor he felt good, but the way they all talk he must be waiting for the other shoe to fall. They all said yes. And they weren't laughing or smiling. I guess the road will get worse before it gets better.
Tender mercy - Amy called in dinner for us to pick up. What a great family we have.

You must be wise...just the first week and you know how to survive it all! I finally realized when things got BAD I needed to look for every (sometimes incredibly tiny) good things that had happened that day and focus on that in order to keep pushing through. I can't hold back the tears from your post. I hope he doesn't feel too lousy. We have probably 10 prescriptions that are ...just in case sitting in our cabinet right now. All of which have been used at some point. But the good news is none have been used for two weeks:) Hope the miserable for him isn't too long lived and that you don't have to put in so many hours every day. You must both be exhausted. Love you lots!
Can't stop the tears from coming tonight, sometimes it just hits harder than others. Even though I know this trial is for all of our growth, I really hate watching you both struggle so much! Thanks for your example of strength and pushing through when your energy is really gone!!
