enervate: to deprive of force or strength; weaken

This last week has been nothing but enervating.  I am SO looking forward for Joe's surgery so the healing can begin for him.  The kitchen remodel starts next week and I am really happy that soon I will have a fully functional (and BEAUTIFUL new kitchen).  There is a lot of work that needs to be done between now and having those things all done which may enervate my well-being even more...but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I am so thankful for all the people in my life that have helped prop me up with words and actions.  And I am thankful that so many people have lined up and offered more help to get me through the next little bit.  I am a lucky lady.
