Early Mornings

Enough of the early mornings. I never was a morning person, but sheesh. Yesterday I got to clinic and napped a bit. Poor Buffy had a full day of work.

Today I gave up and napped in the car and let Kent have some silence. Here he is all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Annoying, huh? But I have my cup of coffee and trying to wake up.

Bloodwork came back ok today. I am a little low on potassium and protein. So hopefully Kent will get me some groceries tomorrow. He has a list, but may need a reminder. It will be a good excuse to send him out for lunch if he doesn't stop on his way home from in the morning.

I can't tell you how full the days have been: wake, meds, 1 hr drive, clinic, drive home, meds, nap?, drink 3 ltrs of water, meds, dogs, make 3 meals and snacks (since I can't go out to eat) fold laundry, put away clean dishes, and hopefully 2 hrs of TV (the Chew {need a new antenna to get that one} and Rachael Ray). What the heck? It's just living and looks easy on paper, but really isn't.  Anymore.

I did get 8 hrs of sleep last night, first time in a while, and that's not even trying to be social. You know how much I miss that. Decking next summer for sure.

Oh well. It's my full time job, so nothing else matters.  Except keep my spirits up. THAT'S the easy job. I am so lucky to keep getting emails and snail mail every day. Every day, every day. The notes range from inspirational to hilarious. Thank you!

So now Kent has gone to work and I can concentrate on me. I will begin step one in "me time" and remove the nail polish and try another color. Taupe? Purple? Both? The sky is the limit.

So... I have the weekend off (unless I get anemic or spike a fever) then labs, blood, and platelets on Monday. Out patient lumbar puncture on Tuesday. That will be 6 of 8. Almonst done.

Found out there is another friend with a friend who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. 40 yo husband, father. Hopefully I can help him in some way. (HI if you are reading this!)

Hmmm. Dexter tried to bring me a gift. Call me silly, but I don't think it's sanitary enough for me. Sorry, Dex. I do appreciate your skills and the wonderful obedience to the "Drop it! Come!" commands.

I am hoping that is all the news for today. I certainly think it's enough. Good night!
