I have been dividing my time between boulder, denver, and franktown colorado
for over 6 weeks now.Since I am the only one in the family who doesn't have a job but has a driver's license,I get called on a lot to help. I take care of 4 people,and jason, after his shock therapy on friday night.

It has been going pretty good so far, I was exhausted yesterday after thanksgiving week-end but I rebounded very nicely. My step-father is getting stronger and stronger by the day and even drove for a few miles this afternoon.So he is a couplathree weeks away from going solo again.

My grandmother has another infected toe that she is more likely going to lose,that makes 8 toes total that she will be without. I don't know how she does it.

My grandfather is doing well, just a check up every six months.

So I am busy busy and loving it.

(woke up to a strange site this morning...my step-father buzzed me to his room and when I got there his bed was covered with business cards and 100 dollar bills!)

3. Thanks, john
I just love it so much,my step-father and i have such interesting conversations and we talk for hours every day while we are driving around.

When my step-father is ambulatory again, I am going to have to suck it up and find some place to volunteer.

4. The number one thing is it keeps me away from the bottle
I started therapy for that so I am really hoping I can keep it together when I find myself with all this free time again.
