Anne has made it through her first week of radiation therapy with nary a problem. Getting up at 6am and scooting out the door on time has been the second biggest challenge. The first being the traffic at that hour! Little did I know how many jerks were on the road until getting the reports from Anne.
After her morning round today, she came home for a nap and then on to Costco for some "light" shopping. I use the word "light" with caution for, as most of you know, Costco isn't known for selling anything light! But, she did well and made it out with only $100 worth of stuff. LOL.
Once at home, she fired up the computer and got Jane and Jim on Skype. They chatted a while until I arrived and we had to leave to catch Logan's soccer game. This one was a make-up for the Wednesday game that had been cancelled because of the threat of thunderstorms.
The game was very exciting, as they were pitched against a formidable team. Justus said that he'd seen them practice and their coach was putting them through some heavy drills. The advanced concepts that he'd bee teaching them were paying off on the field and they scored several unanswered goals on our boys.
Not to worry, though. The system AYSO uses assigns points to each team for the games played and rankings are evaluated after three games. Since this was the first playoff game, there are two more contests to go before we'll know where we stand. I'm confident they'll overcome this set back, because there was only only one team that beat them in regular season. It just happened to be the first team they faced in tournament! But, it ain't over until it's over.
After the game I took Anne out for Chinese at a local restaurant that I'd not been to in a while. The decor had changed so radically that I asked the host if the place was under new management! It was beautiful inside, with huge jade dragons and large glass murals. They'd sunk a lot of money into the place since I'd been there last.
I order my usual, vegetable Mu Shu; Anne ordered the Szechuan eggplant. I had to have a glass of plumb wine with dinner, but Anne refrained because of her chemo. This is the only time we have this sticky-sweet nectar and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Dinner was delicious and the plumb sauce was perfect, although there could have been mushrooms in the MuShu.
John and Jannie arrive tomorrow and will probably be tired. They are flying into L.A. and renting a car drive up here. We're not planning anything special for tomorrow, but hope to have Justus , Heather and the boys over for dinner on Sunday. We sure love having the house full of family! Especially since Anne's cancer. It's great for the love and support, really lifting her spirits in a way that buoys her up for weeks afterwards.
Share your preciousness with those you love and let them know you care,
Don and Anne
