Killdeer at the Kramer Place 
Shed at the Kramer PlaceThis morning was glorious. Sunny brilliant blue heavens. Greening hills and fields. All the hilltops are still coated with a layer of snow that gives a striking contrast to the rugged landscape. Finally a true spring day. However just so you know its still Wyoming, all the puddles and ponds had a thick layer of ice. There still a chance of showers for several days and it has clouded up in the afternoon.
I'm finally coming out of the chemo funk where I just want to sit and sleep. That has always taken three or four days with almost nothing accomplished except meals and basic existence. Yesterday I did get the recycling ready to go tomorrow, and my survival gear tote organized and back into the SUV. So this afternoon I've cleaned the kitchen and utility room floors with the hoover steam vac bare floor (also carpet) cleaner - wonderful machine, and wiping down baseboards and where ever there's dirt and cobwebs. Joe was asking if I wanted him to do it, but I was pretty sure it would be more difficult to show him how than to do it myself. So I asked if he would really clean the table and chairs with pledge and he did. So that was a great help. I don't think he realized that it's a muscle job, thinking you just wipe the cloth over as you would dust the coffee table, but anything is better than it was. The floor will be tracked back up with mud and gunk, sand and little rocks, but the stuck on stuff is cleaned off for now until it builds back up. I made an applesauce spice cake with pecans this afternoon.
Also I've almost gotten my clothes packed for the trip and other things I will take are organized. Still have too much more than I want to haul around. Such difficulty making decisions on what I want, leave this and that home when maybe those are the things I'll really want. As I have for several years now I really want to pack light, though it may be an exercise in futility. As well as a challenge to see if it's possible.
Betty called yesterday and this morning. It's always fun to visit with her. Nancy from Nebraska also recently called and she has been a faithful part in the web of support. Beverly called too this afternoon and they are staying as hectic as ever.
Tomorrow we will take flowers to Joe's brother Jim's grave in Pinedale. It is good to know that Susan in Green River will take care of his other family graves this year. Thank you Susan.
