Supposed to be a great day, but probably the last for the week. So I better take advantage of it while I can. I have been bragging about not having to report for jury duty yet....but my run of 6 out of 10 may come to an end today. Today my number was called to show up at 12 noon, but.....I have to call at 10:30 to see if they still need me. What are the odds that I'll get out of it again today?
I did enjoy yesterday. First had lunch with all the retiree's....a few had returned from the Sunshine States, and so we had nine of us there. Funny, two are on the jury list for the next two weeks. I wonder if they saw that we were retired and put us all on the list? I'll be happy when it is over and my days are my own again. Sadly even when I don't have to report next Monday (as I'll be done on Friday) I then have to go to Mayo for two different doctor appointments.
After lunch I went to the track meet of Katie and Nicole....and Blaine girls were there again....so that means Annie was there too. But I also had Jack playing baseball at the baseball diamond right next to the track. I did walk over between events and watched a little baseball. Did get to see Jack playing second base, but just missed seeing him bat. He had just batted when we got there, and had to leave before he got up to bat again. Did get to visit with several different people I hadn't seen in a while.
At the track, I had a women come over and introduce herself to me. She had been sitting across the aisle with another parent that I knew. It turned out to be the daughter of Doraine Newland who I job shared with 30 years ago. Bonnie and I had visited Doraine in January when we drove through Panama City Beach, and she told me her granddaughter ran for Blaine and I had told her that Annie was the coach. So I guess that very evening she called and talked to her daughter and asked if she knew Annie. As Annie doesn't work directly with the distance runners, she hadn't personally met her. Anyway the women she was sitting with is also a para and they work together at the same school. Both of their daughters along with Katie ran the mile yesterday. What a small world it is. So all of the days events were very social events for me.
Today may be sort of the same. Maybe jury duty, then Nick has a baseball game in Andover at 4:15 and then this evening I have North Suburban Women's Club meeting. I got a call last week one day informing me that I was on the list to be one of hosts for the meeting.....that means I have to bring treats. As I don't know if I'll be around this afternoon, I baked some turtle brownies last night....I didn't think they'd want Girl Scout Cookies.
I got a chance to talk to another women who was diagnosed with rectal cancer about the same time I was, and she says she is in remission right now....so that was good to hear. I hope to be in that state soon as well. Next Monday I'll start the ball rolling for Chemo....atleast Dr. Nelson will be posed the question and confer with the oncologist as to when she thinks I can start. So please keep the prayers coming, and also pray for all those I pray for too! Love and prayers, m
