Thursday's Turn-Around

This has been quite a week; I had a really bad weekend and got to the point where I wished that I had not had the radiation. Monday was kind of a leveling off day and Tuesday and Wednesday were kind of back to the old routine.

Yesterday morning Kathleen got up before I did so she let Reggie out, she had not done that for quite a time and she was surprised at how bad Reggie had gotten lately. To make a long story short we put Reggie down last night, I knew that it was coming for quite some time, but Kathleen kept hoping that he would get better.

Anyway this morning when I got up after eating, I took the covers off Reggie's beds and washed them. Then I took everything out of the mud room, except the washer, dryer and the sink, and swept and mopped the floor. Then I washed all of Reggie's play toys and gathered up his treats and put them all in a couple bags.

We had just gotten him a new bag of dog food so When Aaron, Tami and the girls came over, I asked if they wanted any or all of it for Archie, and they took it all. After they left, I went out back and pulled up some violet sprouts from the berry patch. I could feel myself getting tired so

I went into the house, cleaned up and made myself some lunch and was going to go sit in the living room, but I realized that if I did not get the lawn mowed, it might be a while before I could mow it. So I went outside thinking that I would just mow the front yard. Well not only did I mow the front yard I also mowed the back as well.

This time when I went inside I did sit down and rest for a while. Andrea came by with Brandon after a while as she was out running around. They stayed until a little after 1800, it was good to see them. They both are looking better and I think that Andrea is settling into motherhood.

Oh Sue, you asked where Andrea is registered, Target and Babies "R" Us. I think that you have asked me that a couple times, but I have been rather out of it for a while.

Tonight Kathleen made some pollack, rice and asparagus for dinner, it is not as good as salmon, halibut, cod or sole, but it is a lot cheaper and does not taste too bad.

Well, this has been probably my best day since I started my radiation therapy, so I am hoping that this is a trend that continues. Well, I cannot think of anything else to write about, so I will say good night.
