Tuesday
Yikes...NO PICTURES tonight because I forgot my phone in Kathy's car. Well, it slipped down beside the passenger seat almost never to be seen again. I didn't miss it right away but I do now. We'll pick it up tomorrow. So sorry. I'm even sorrier than you are.
It's been a good day. Woo, woo!!!!! A very good day. Was that Frank Sinatra?
Awake at 6 with just one wake up during the night. I downed my thyroid pill sometime during the night and then back to sleep till 6. This is my week starting today off of Kisqali and that always makes me happy. I just feel better. No three pills a day for a week. Now I'm blaming those pills on the fact that I forget things, but it could be caused by something else like age. I choose Kisqali. Ha, Ha.
So, one thing that I had forgotten was how to order more pills. So, I called my friend Julie who I have never met but we've talked a lot on the phone. She is Dr. Schneider's nurse. I heard again it's one of those automatic things that keeps the pills coming until January. Then there are a few hoops to jump through for next years supply. I will continue Kisqali until it doesn't work is the plan. I don't need to do a thing this year to get it. Dah! I'll get a phone call about delivery time this week. Maybe I should write that down somewhere.
Talk about writing down stuff. This morning, I took a picture of a paper that lists all my medications so now I have a record of that on my phone. That should help the memory thing also when I get to the next doctor. Hope springs eternal that I know where my phone is.
This morning the church job was to get ready for All Saints Sunday. Dear Kathy picked me up leaving Doug off the hook and we found our way to church. I've known Kathy for 49 years and we could talk for 24 hours every day none stop. So, we did some of that. We met Heidi and got everything finished that needed finishing for Sunday. We did a little talking about the Advent work that is coming very soon.
On the way home Kathy asked if I wanted to go anywhere. Her day was FREE. Whoopee. Of course, I said Goodwill. And we stopped at Nora and I found some fleece fabric and she found a grandson pac man shirt. Such fun. We would have done more but I was ready to head home. She went on to Once Upon a Child looking for grandson red pants. I don't know if luck was with her. If my brain had been working, I would have gone with her and we could have hit another Goodwill close by the Once Upon store. I know where they all are. Sometimes I just don't quite have it together.
I ate lunch and then started cutting fabric again. Twelve more burps have been finished. A whole lot more are in pieces waiting for the machine. So that means a few other places where I thought might get a little snuffing up were neglected. The machine with fabric felt like old times.
So, it was a great day with friends doing what friends do like listening, working, talking and laughing. And the being together makes it all so special. I am so grateful that these friends have come my way walking the daily walk with me. Yes, I'll never walk alone as the song reminds us. Thanks be to God. Blessings abound. It was a very good day.
It's probably the Kisquali = you have a bit of "chemo mind." Our Fr. Anthony was unhappy with his chemo mind - he never liked being confused. Roses have thorns. If you are dancing in the rain, then maybe you can turn chemo mind into "creative thinking," or "thinking outside the box."
