Last Week
Yesterday we had a relatively quiet morning. Well, except for the hawk. It twice tried to catch its breakfast at our bird feeder. The birds all were in a panic to get away and some of them sort of hit the window. The second… Continue Reading “Last Week”
“Damage My Calm”
Usually EJ gets out of work at 10:30 p.m., but last night he worked until 3:30 a.m. By the time he got to bed it was about 5 a.m. He was exhausted by his long day, but he only was able to get 4… Continue Reading ““Damage My Calm””
Tattle Tale Mom
Last night EJ brought home a fun hat that one of his work friends had made for JJ. It was bright orange, funky, and very soft so it feels good on his head. It made him look like he had orange hair. JJ loves… Continue Reading “Tattle Tale Mom”
Two by Two, Hands of Blue
This morning we had to drive to the city so JJ could have his weekly lab work done. We drive this route so often now that if our car were a milk-wagon horse, it would have the route memorized. The temperatures have warmed up… Continue Reading “Two by Two, Hands of Blue”
The Snow Storm
It started to snow last night. About 10:30 p.m., EJ and I got on our coats, hats, boots, and mittens and went out into the snow. I like taking pictures of the snow at night using the flash on my camera. The flash reflects… Continue Reading “The Snow Storm”
Home Sweet Cancer Center
Last night I was so tired that I fell asleep on the loveseat at about 8:30 p.m. I sleep on the loveseat during JJ’s difficult weeks of Chemo so that I’m available if he isn’t feeling well. I slept until my alarm went off… Continue Reading “Home Sweet Cancer Center”
Ema Dov’s Popcorn
When JJ was first diagnosed with testicular cancer, I talked to a woman from a cancer center in California. She was very caring and gave me some advice, including the fact that I must be our son’s advocate. “You must be a Mama Bear,”… Continue Reading “Ema Dov’s Popcorn”
Appointment Controller
I am beginning to feel like an air traffic controller, only I am directing appointments instead of airplanes. So many appointments are being set up now, and I have to try to make sure they don’t collide with each other. It’s hectic. We had… Continue Reading “Appointment Controller”
Interesting Things
On Monday, EJ and I went to the book sale at the library. We can’t resist book sales. We ended up buying another couple dozen books for $3.20. As we arrived at the library, we saw an older man on foot pull a good-sized… Continue Reading “Interesting Things”
My Birthday Gift
Today is my birthday. I am <mumble, mumble> years old. 🙂 For my birthday gift, EJ is going to build floor-to-ceiling book shelves along one wall of our living room. I can’t wait. We have an upstairs room stuffed with books; it will be… Continue Reading “My Birthday Gift”
Hummingbird Moth
Last Sunday was raining, so EJ and I worked in the kitchen. We continued our project for several more days. EJ painted the trim, while I reorganized all the kitchen cupboards. The kitchen is looking nicer and nicer. It feels so much like fall… Continue Reading “Hummingbird Moth”
