Woke to Sun, but Now it's Gone!

I got up at 7:30, and the sun was so bright and beautiful as I lifted my blinds. But as I've been working away at answering emails etc. the clouds have rolled in and I guess they are predicting showers early today, and then again this evening and over night, so my thoughts about going to the cabin are wobbling. I need to call the painter and see if he plans on doing the power-wash tomorrow or not. If he does, I will for sure go up later this afternoon, and then drive back to HHH to get unplugged at 11:30 a.m.. If he doesn't, I think I might just stay home. I will call Jason this morning and see what my plans will be. Yesterday's Chemo went well, Dr. Londer decided to hold the Erbitux for this week, and slow down the progression of the rash on my face. It really isn't that bad, but has gotten worse each week. Last summer my face was raw, this summer I can easily cover the rash with my tinted moisturizer. That made my chemo day an hour shorter, and Judy and I were just finishing our lunch when I was finished with my infusions and they were hooking me up to the pump to take home with me for the next 46 hours. Since the mistake 2 weeks ago with the pump not being on when I left, that they have changed their procedure and have a second nurse check to see the pump is running before I can leave the building. I was feeling pretty good when I got home, and did some work on the computer before I felt like I needed to nap. But I did nap on and off for the next couple of hours. I did see Jeopardy and they had a whole column of questions about Ambrose!! Pretty funny, and I learned that their is an Ambrose whose feast day is celebrated the same as St. Patrick on March 17, as well as the Ambrose celebrated on Dec. 7. Learn something new every day. Later I was awake during the 6:00 news on Ch. 11 where they had a story about Pathways, and a fundraiser for them, that keeps all their offerings free to people like me with cancer or other chronic illnesses. I also typed up my "Do Over" paper I wrote on Monday at Pathways Creative Writing class. I sent it out earlier in the afternoon, but then after several napping sessions I reread and proofed it, and then resent it out to my family and a few friends that I though might be interested in reading it. I have gotten a few comments on it, which were all positive. If you'd like to read it, email me, and I'll forward it to you. Also, I heard from Swissy cousin Karen that she has booked her flight and room at the Flamingo for herself and her mom. So please keep up those prayers for Loretta that she makes the trip and enjoys seeing all of us, as much as we are looking forward to seeing her. Also Elaine's brother-in-law in Oregon has a rare kind of Leukemia, and her husband Jeff is donating Bone Marrow to him. So lots of prayers there too! Prayers are also needed this morning for Judy's sister-in-law Annie, as she is making a big decision to move her husband Roger into a nursing home and then a Memory Care unit. She is becoming unable to take care of him, as her health isn't good either. They, Judy's son Mike and Annie are meeting with the Memory Care people today. It is a very hard decision for Annie to make, but Roger is getting progressively worse and needs more care than she can give him. So large number of pleas for prayers, but I know you all are such strong prayers that you will get the job done. Love and Prayers, m
