It's going to be very warm today. It's not even 8:30 and it's probably 70 degrees outside and getting warmer. They say it should reach 90 here and over 100 in the valley. I'm preparing now for the heat later... I have my ice made and the fans going; eventually I'll get the air conditioner on and start closing the blinds to keep the sun out. I'm glad that I'm not doing chemo today; I wouldn't be able to turn the air conditioner on and I'd end up just sweating...
I am feeling good today. I ran a whole bunch of errands yesterday, one of which took me over to the DMV in Hollywood. This DMV is right around the corner from where I used to work at Comcast (now Time Warner). It was strange to be there and walk around the area I spent so much of my time in. I had some good times there, and a lot of bad times too; but I tend (as I think a lot of us do) to romanticize the past and only remember the good times.
You'll probably see another update from me later on.

Just dropping by to say Hi...I hope this week goes well for you. Lots of good vibes coming your way....

Well you sound pretty damn good to me. Its a wonderful feeling just doing the normal things that help take care of your life.
I just had bronical phemonia, and I could hardly do anything without having a total coughing fit. AND, now that I am so much better, just getting to the market doing the laundry and making supper was a triumph.
So, I can understand a feeling of accomplishment, or maybe the art of being Normal for the first time om 4 weeks feels soooooo good.
We take so much for granted until we turn around and cannot do this or that. Just walking upstair to our loft tired me out and walking the dog was a major chore.
Ben, you continue to amaze me everytime you blog. There is always a speck of insight into you. So many things I did not know, we have lived at a distance for a long time, but just as it is with you Mom, it's wonderfully real to be able to just pick up the pieces and move forward, especially the loving tenderness I feel for you. Not that it has not been there forever, but they were words left unsaid, and times not spent.
We can never make up for the past, but it is so great to think of the future. We can dance at your Brother's wedding and I can hug and kiss you and share in all the joy of the moment. And, I am thankful that you will probably be there. And, I am also thankful to be able to remember what I do and go on forever and ever.
Lovingly,
G
