No Clinic Today


It'll be a quiet day without clinic today. I've done my rowing workout, my pushups, and my stretches. While I was working out, Dad and Lynn took a walk through historic downtown Hillsborough all the way to Weaver St Market and back. They aren't used to the slightly hilly streets here so they got a good workout too.

Dad was busy cooking up a storm yesterday after clinic. He made a vanilla pound cake, banana pudding, and for dinner a baked halibut with tomatoes and onions, oven roasted acorn squash, and brussel sprouts. Very good dinner and dessert. Good thing we all exercise.

Dad and Lynn are heading over to the Duke gardens to check it out since we don't have to go to clinic today. They are also heading to the Nasher museum to see the El Greco exhibit while it is here.

I included another photo from the w-e walk through the Land Conservancy area. As Laurie put it, Tree on tree.

We'd be thrilled if you could also visit the Nasher! El Greco awaits.

Sounds like you are just trooping through this round, Tree! So, maybe the whole platelet thing is they are afraid you'll have a spontaneous bleed and CAUSE a wreck...but don't want to tell the average person that because they would then become completely paranoid! Because, I agree...I mean who cares who is driving? A wreck be a wreck.
Things in Aville are LOCO. No gas to be found---1/2 mile lines to fill up. So glad I have a prius right now(which I had to fill with our extra can of gas for the lawnmower!)
Work is something...can't wait to see you and fill you in. You are one of the few that would actually understand. The safety net stuff is really nuts. Speaking of work, are you just laying low and waiting to look until everything settles down after chemo? Seems like a good plan to me.
I'm sitting at the dripolator having a latte before I go to Pilates(do they cancel each other out?) avoiding my in-laws who have taken over my home for 24 hours. Yep, nothing has changed since you moved down south.
Have a great day---hope your counts are great today. When do you have to have another bone marrow bx?
peace out...
Shannon

They're going to love the El Greco show! It's one of the most amazing exhibitions I've ever seen at the Nasher and completely different from their typical modern showcases. It has pieces from all over the world including 9 from the Prado. Too cool.
