A grey day, rain, sleet and freezing rain this afternoon. Jessie and I did make it to the park this morning, first time in quite a while. It was quiet. The pond had half frozen over and the other half was mid-freezing, looking like wrinkled skin. No ducks. Or else they were well hidden. Very quiet. Eerie.
I went into the office on Friday and had a pretty good day. Friday night, David and I had dinner at H and M's; good food, good company. Saturday I went to sabbath services at synagogue, and stayed to hear the rabbinic intern's talk on Hannukah. It appears that word has finally gotten out generally about my circumstances. Many people came up and spoke to me (how are you feeling? is there anything I can do for you? do you need any food? ) including a number of people that generally ignore me. Interesting phenomenon. Is it the synagogue equivalent of rubbernecking on a highway after a bad accident? (Okay, that's not very generous on my part, I admit.)
Last night David's brother R and his girlfriend J came over. We visited a while and then went out to dinner. It was a good evening, too.
Today was cleaning day, trying to finish getting the apartment ready for the kids' visit. David and I both worked hard. I went to the store to get some things for the baby - apple juice, raisin bran, fruit, cookies.
As all of the foregoing shows, I'm feeling good. Still dealing with slight numbness in tips of several fingers - side effect of the NuLasta shot. Still get tired at 7:30 pm and am gone by 8:30 pm (of course, I'm getting up at 5:30 or 6:00). But basically I"m okay. The kids flights are late tomorrow night - my daughter arrives around 8 pm and my son and grandson not until 9:30 or so - so they won't be arriving here until quite late.
But all is well in my corner of the world right now.
Peace.
