Thank a Veteran

I had a short but sweet visit to the clinic this morning because my counts are fine, and I didn't need any blood or platelets. Of course, my numbers are on their way down. I thought I would need a blood transfusion because I am pretty tired from my chemo last week. I did a perfectly fine workout this morning, but I was really draggy yesterday. I took a nap in the afternoon while Gracie, our girlkitty, jumped up and down on me to try to get me to get up and feed her early. I usually wait until 4pm to feed the cats, though they try to get me to do it much earlier. It's our little game. I nap on the couch, and she jumps from the back of the couch onto me and then onto the floor. Subtle, real subtle.

Since it's Veteran's Day, I'm going to take a walk after lunch and see if the library is open. I have a few books I'd like to put on reserve if they aren't closed today. I'll celebrate being free too by walking around town and thinking about all of the people I know who've served in the Armed Forces. Thanks to them, I got to vote last week and help elect a historic candidate.
