The kids are here and my grandson. Amazing what a couple of young people and a 3 year old do to the staid atmosphere of a small apartment. My grandson in particular has livened up the mix - he's interested in everything, so he picks things up and moves them around. What a shake up. It's great! I'm sure after they leave I'll be finding things in odd places for weeks to come.
I see Dr. M this afternoon for a post-surgery follow up. Should be routine.
I'm feeling well. I can't say I'm looking forward to the chemo next week, except that after it, there's no more chemo for between 8 and 12 weeks! (2-3 weeks off, then radiation, then 2-3 weeks off and then the last 3 chemos).
I'm taking tomorrow and Friday off of work to spend time with the kids. I hope to get up early tomorrow and take Jessie to the park while everyone else is sleeping. I want to see what's going on there - if the ducks are really gone for the season, I'll have to explore a little more and find some other living creatures to keep track of over these cold winter months.
Thanks to several people who sent me their thoughts about my experience at synagogue with people who usually do not speak to me doing so on learning of my cancer. I was ungenerous (and thanks to J who was glad to know I am sometimes mean spirited - if only J knew how often such sparks of mean-spiritedness flare up in my withered old heart, just usually not out onto the paper - no noble suffering cancer patient, I!) - and I do see how people could be trying to be kind. I will try to keep it in mind.
It's a cold day. But the sun is out. And my grandson likes listening to my book that includes 100 songs and calls of birds.
Peace
