Indian Summer


They say it will be 85 or 86 degrees today. Right now it is gorgeous and warm with clear blue skies. I've just finished a walk through town to return some library books and mail my latest Netflix movie. I've gotten on this kick of watching Inspector Lynley mysteries from the BBC/PBS/WGBH channel in Boston. The series started in 2001 and has continued into 2008, so there are plenty of them to watch. Holly doesn't enjoy them as much as I do so I often end up watching them solo. They are entertaining though as the Inspector is a British aristocrat from Cornwall who works with a very no nonsense female sargent.

I see outside that the builder guys are starting to install the playground equipment in the communal lot directly behind our house. As the neighborhood has expanded with new homes, we've had more and more kids riding bikes, playing ball, and walking the loop. Now they will have a real play space to use with slides and swings and such. Hopefully they will get to use it plenty before it gets too cold to play outside much.

Not really alot to report today. I am just trying to recuperate from last week's chemo. I always feel more tired and weak after I get out of the hospital no matter what the blood counts or numbers say. As my doctor predicted, I am getting a little more "beat up" as the treatments pile up. That happened with the breast cancer treatments too. But I try to rest when I need to but push myself each day too. It gets a little old to feel fatigued, but at least I can focus on getting stronger and eating well.
