Sorry I skipped Thursday this week. I had a lovely visit from my friend Joan yesterday afternoon. Despite all of the traffic snarls yesterday she still managed to find her way here! After Joan left, I *thought* about going out to the grocery store, but instead I *fell* into a good book. I'm currently reading "The House of the Spirits" by Isabel Allende. Its not new, it was written in 1982, but an excellent read. I highly recommend it.
Last night I watched "Flight 93" on A&E and had myself a good cry. I'm sure that won't be the last of those with the 5th year anniversary of 9/11 on Monday. Its hard to imagine yourself in that situation and wonder whether you'd have the courage to do what had to be done.
Wasn't yesterday a beautiful day? I didn't get outside except to walk my friend out when she left, but I did have the windows open all day. I kept thinking I smelled something burning outside all day and mentioned it to my husband but he didn't smell it. He said maybe its just the way fresh air smells anymore. That's a strange thought. Why would the air smell burnt? Global warming perhaps? Anyway, now that the windows are closed overnight there is still this heavy, sweet smell that lingers that wasn't here before the open windows. Very weird.
Today its off to NIH for chemo again. I'm hoping that the traffic gods are appeased and we'll have no more Beltway shutdowns. We have to go three times next week because on Monday he'll have his monthly checkup with the ENT clinic. We'll tell them about the new neck "blip" on the recent PET scan to see what they make of it; but probably they'll want to wait and see too.
Here's hoping your Friday is lovely. I might add to this later today if anything shows up in my life that needs to enter the *blogosphere*.
