Trying something new... writing in the morning! Before the coffee wears off!

Very nice weekend, and some good conversation with Glen. Keep in mind that any concession from Glen that something might need to change is a HUGE deal for him.

Had a family meeting about the car situation... Glen admitted it's becoming "a little harder" to steer, and honestly, his days of driving are short lived. Which means we will be a three car family with two drivers,which doesn't make much sense. So we've come up with the plan of trading in the red cars... Glen's CR-V, Kevin's Firebird... for a newer used car that G & Ke will share. After some discussion, they decided they are looking for a 2006 or newer Dodge Charger. Which is what I get for letting them watch NCIS.. they both want a "Gibbs car." So in talking we said to Glen "Do you promise you won't crash the Charger!?" He very carefully managed a shrug and with a huge grin said, "What can I say?"

He keeps going back and forth about what he wants to do about work. We pretty much were in agreement that he would use up his vacation and sick leave, then go on disability... then yesterday he wanted to go to work this morning. Then last night... he decided not to go in, which is good because we're expecting a storm and if I drive him, it's a long walk to his building.

In general, I'd say his mood has improved with the medication change.. his sense of humor is much better, and he's obviously quite proud of himself when he makes everyone laugh. There are definitly some tough decisions to be made in the near future, but with humor, we'll get through.
