Just like flipping a light switch the weather is glorious. The sky is a clear blue and the humidity is low signaling fall. We have a few leaves that have turned color on one of our ornamental cherry trees just as we have crepe myrtles and hydrangeas blooming. The plants seem to have soaked up the rain from a few days ago, and they are flourishing in the low humidity. It's very pretty in our Hillsborough backyard as everything seems to be letting out a big sigh now that the hot, humid weather has passed. I do love fall. It's my favorite season.
I just got back from the clinic which was another in and out quick visit. My labs are continuing to drift down (hemoglobin 12.4, platelets 39,000, white cell count 1300), but I didn't need any transfusions today. If everything continues on its present course, I will probably need a bag of platelets by Saturday. So my next appt will be Saturday. Until then I'll keep myself busy with reading, exercising, watching Netflix videos and bugging my girlfriend. In case you haven't read it, I just finished "In a Sunburned Country" by the travel writer Bill Bryson. He wrote a hilarious and quite informative discourse on Australia. He is really good at telling stories about people disappearing or dying from dangerous flora and fauna, which apparently happens alot in Australia. I know its a big country and everything; well it is a continent afterall. But I never realized, until I read his book, how utterly far apart the cities are. Cool.
Hope everyone gets outside to enjoy the fine day.
