Periodic update

The weekend was pleasant. I continue to feel fine in the mornings, with a good appetite. As the day wears on, the appetite slips. But we were active.

Saturday we toured around some of the furniture emporiums in the greater metropolitan Defiance region (Okalona, Bryan, Edgerton, Hicksville) looking for a dinette for Kris' house--and I did the driving. Kris drew the short straw on that on-- one of the four chairs in the existing set has a broken back (lifts right off if you try to move the chair) and that became hers! So we offered to replace the set. Couldn't find exactly what we wanted but settled on one right here in Defiance and it will be delivered on Tuesday. It is round with two, twelve inch leaves.

Yesterday we had built up quite a grocery list, including some things that I hope to be able to eat later in the week when I get beat down again. So we shopped. Told Emily later that it wasn't really all that pleasant of a trip as I saw a lot of things I have always loved that are not likely to be a part of my diet again. Drats.

Soon I will be off for my second Gemzar infusion. So the second series begins.

  1. Looks like you're still getting up bright & early. Just not heading to the Y as in the past, huh? Kris is very blessed to have you & Emily. I wish all of the families were as supportive as the two of you. Praying for a good day & week.
