Happy Hanukkah

May you always have more than enough oil to light your lamps.

As for our lamps, here in Recoveryland, they are glowing with the energy of good news. Today Jim had tea, a coffee ice cream shake, mango juice mixed with green tea, a bit of chicken soup broth, and apple juice. Things are also beginning to taste better. A week ago he could not drink the ambrosial apple juice I buy at the Farmers' Market. Today he could.

He wanted to go up to the market this morning, so we bundled up and got there about 9:30. We strolled the aisles, bought yet more apple juice, some beautiful kale and some Delicata squash. When we got home he made a big kettle of fragrant chicken soup using everything we bought plus some we got elsewhere. It is rich and flavorful and loaded with every kind of healthful veggie. His fatigue was not as great today. After a morning nap he managed to stay awake the rest of the day.

Progress.
