I'm feeling better today than I've felt in over a month. Started new antibiotic Friday night after seeing the doc and being told that my labs were a mess and I was far from well despite a week on IV antibiotics and three weeks on oral. New class of drugs this time and this morning I woke with real energy! I'd do a little something and not be tired so do something else. Got lots accomplished and still no crushing fatigue.

Youngest daughter called today to say she and her husband are joining us for dinner on Thursday rather than going to VT as planned. Not only that, they're coming down in the morning to clean, cook and set the table! So there will be all of us (7) plus an 83 year old friend.

Haven't even thought about Christmas yet but have asked the kids to bring lists tomorrow. last couple of years, everything has been ordered online and it's worked so well, I will probably do the same this year.
