  • THIS N THAT

    Don't know what happened, but my words seem to have dried up. Somehow I went from that gal who always thought she'd write a book to someone who barely strings three sentences together. Maybe its just a phase I'm going through, or maybe that part of me is gone...

    Yesterday Ken had his third chemo treatment. According to my SIL each one seems to hit him harder than the one before. Guess that is the way it is supposed to work....

    Its been too hot to work on our garage project, so our place still looks like Sanford and Son from the road. Hopefully September will cool down and we can finish. Hubby's work is talking possible layoffs if third quarter numbers aren't up, so guess we'll postpone replacing windows awhile longer.

    This past weekend hubby and I went to spend a long weekend with his aunt and help her work on her house. The guys worked on the remodel while us girls did the sort and toss thing. Course we had to find time for a round or two of Rummicube each evening while they rested. Thought it was hot here, but it was even hotter there! We all used muscles we forgot we had.

    Time to go weed the flowerbed before it gets too hot to be outside. And laundry... Seems there's always laundry.

  • My BIL just finished his 5th session of chemo.  Each one has gotten harder.  He is done until they do another scan in late September.  If there is a speck of new cancer he will be going through more chemo.  Our Tom is 74 and never had any health issues until 5 months ago.  It's hard to see such a strong man go through this.  When I think of my BIL, I also think of your brother. 

    So glad you were able to spend time with Aunt Betty.  I am aware of her situation because I follow Courtney's blog.  Hope I got that right.  I'm second guessing myself now :)   Blame it on post-menopause :)

    I have found having FB keeps me from writing emails and paper letters as much as I used to.  Wonder why that is.    Have a great day and enjoy the "cooler" temps--it's all relative :)

  • yes, chemo does seem to get harder. I sometimes get that way not knowing what to write, guess there are seasons for that too. have a good day.

  • I'm grieved reading about your brother's chemo treatments, having watched my own BIL go through it several years ago.  I am praying for him even now.

    I'm glad you wrote even through your "dry" period.  I enjoy these peeks into your days.

  • Made it through #3 ok.  He is really hungry when he gets done. He lost 4 lbs. in the last 2 weeks but the dr. said that was ok...he would put it back on.  Ken fussed with the girl about the hair loss.  We should know Oct. 21 if the chemo is working or if we need to change some of the meds.  The dr. thinks he is doing real good.  He didn't have the mean day this time. Of course the week before the 21st he will have the heart test and pulmonary again.   He got up at 3 and stayed up.  He didn't even go to bed until after 9.  I told him tonight he is taking one of the pills.  He can lift more than 5 lbs. now and is happy.  Steve is still trying to get back here.

    I better go.  I have laundry waiting on me.

    Have a good day.

  • I go through phases like that. I'll be super quiet (by comparison) to writing a three chapter blog post. :D

  • ...and is everything else going okay?  you and yours are well???? blessings!!

  • @Diane_B - You ready for me to make a return visit yet?

  • @brokenbread - Yes, everything seems to be good at my house. Its just HOT...

  • Seems to have been a hectic summer for all. I am finally getting around to visiting on Xanga.

  • I have found that for me it's a time issue.  When I feel like writing I'm away from my computer or even paper.  I figure that's God's way of keeping my thoughts my thoughts.  So much I don't write but I enjoy writing.  Don't push it and I think it will come again.  I only write my feelings on this site, only quick things on FB.
