In Limbo

 My life's in limbo, in more ways than one.

First, of course, I was told I have aggressive, terminal cancer and that I have only a few months to live. That was 2 months ago and I feel about the same, however, my pain medication has been increased. I'm not sure what to do, with this diagnosis. And so, I sit here, create art when I am so inclined, eat, sleep, play with my kitty Purrcy and visit with my sister, Linda. Also, watch movies and TV shows online. The view outside the Western windows is spectacular, with 3 mountains and stark high desert to gaze upon. A bunch of hummingbirds were madly circling the feeder outside of the front window, but that has ended, thanks to one very aggressive Rufus Hummingbird who chases everybody else away. 

My sister and I are also in limbo about our housing situation. We were supposed to move back on to the property where I was living a while back, once the landlady's family moved her to California, but her new home unexpectedly needed emergency repairs to the foundation, and construction seems to be moving much slower than anybody anticipated. So, my current landlady is allowing us to stay here, in a cabin at 8,000 feet in elevation, where I need to be on oxygen. It is a quaint but small living space, for two full-sized tall women. And, my sister has been sleeping on a very uncomfortable futon. So, we wait. Everything is out of our hands.

We wanted to consolidate and move our belongings that have been in storage, near Albuquerque, for a while now. Unfortunately, that will also have to wait because there are no available and affordable storage units up here - that we can find. And also, the friends who were to help my sister with the move had to back out, due to injuries. It is tough getting old.
