The Day After

We went to the Doctor yesterday and got the news we have been dreading.
Chemo.
I don't understand why now and not a year ago when his body was better able to handle the medication (poison.)
Interesting how a Doctor has as much will to think he can cure, as the patient has will to live.
The doctor said he was unable to do anything about quantity of life, but he could assist in quality of life.
Quality?
Whatever, we start on Friday.
It will be a hard road.

My mind has been occupied with this news since 12:00 yesterday afternoon, so I don't have much else to share.
Wendy went and chose some new frames for glasses that she will get Thursday.
In some ways her life is coming together.
I think it's as important to take care of the little things (like the ability to see) as it is the big things.

We had a nice visit with my Mom yesterday.
We sat on her patio and drank iced tea and she gave me a new purse.
Nothing brightens your spirits like a great new purse!

Mike went to work on fixing the roof at the little house.
When I went to get Wy from Wen's this morning I saw that it was still leaking.
The whole thing is SO bad, I don't think you can repair it by fixing one spot.
Can you say "tear down."
Besides, one whole corner of the house is being held together with super glue caulking.
The fireplace is trying to relocate into the front yard, which in fact would make for some toasty outdoor evenings sitting around the fire. 
Easy to get back into the kitchen for snacks and refills too.

Snacks and refills.
That makes me think of Shelley.
Seventeen days to Fifty Stub!!
Wow, hard to believe.
You'll always be thirty "something" to me.
I think for you birthday this year I would like to send you on a cruise.... to Alaska.
Alaskan cruises are the best because you can dress in layers, not having to worry about those pesky bathing suits and skinny beetches in the pool while your trying to enjoy your margarita.


Mike's up : P
