Getting ready!

2nd day past chemo

Today is Saturday, May 30 and now I am working my way through the last of my A/C dosage.  This is the half way mark, and I am so glad.  I am tired and don't have any appetite, and drinking 12 0z of water every hour   seems a chore.  But in the scheme of things, it is really going pretty good.  

I am trying to  read a bit when I can.  Candy Love, loaned to me by Kate, is so funny.  I think it was written for Kate.  A Year in Provence, about a Brit couple learning to live small town life in the south of France.  Easy to pick up and put down.  Emma, by Jane Austin, sometimes drives me crazy, but makes my brain work.  Waiting, a lifetime waitress, another donation of Kate's, is also funny and easy to pick up and put down. Island's in the Stream, Hemmingway.  I take this a little at a time.  Added recently, The Greatest Generation, by Tom Brokaw and Travels with My Aunt by Graham Greene.   More suggestions welcome.  I just finished one that was great all about living in the hills in West Virginia during the early 1940's.  It was great but I can't remember what it was called or who wrote it......my brain obviously needs more exercise.

I still am so happy about the great reunion we had last weekend.  I am still sleeping so much.

Dan will be traveling the beginning of next week so I will have some friends in and maybe play cards, or pull out old pictures, or something.  Hopefully a little less sleeping than the last time.

Kate is in DC on her internship, and Danny is there for the weekend to see her!  I know they will have fun and that makes me so happy.

Rachel came by to say hi and tell us a bit about her classes this summer.  And show us pictures of her Zion trip.  Angel's Landing was incredible, and the whole hike so beautiful.  

My look into the outside world is small but greatly appreciated. 

I hope everyone is well, and send my love,
Carmine
