blessed just looking at what you want to accomplish today shows why you need a day of rest.

Does your dh crave something sweet while he is on chemo? My dh did his favorite was a DQ blizzard followed by candy bars.

[blessedw2]

he eats ice cream now all the time! he never ate sweets before. He doesn't eat it when he comes home right away but every day after for about 5 days. funny how that is.

he came short tempered so I have a feeling the next couple days are going to be rough for dd15 and I. He says the chemo makes him feel a bit angry. (his temper isn't yelling or anything; but more like he super annoyed and little tolerance).

((blessed)) there is something about the chemo that gives the craving for sweets. It could be one of the other IV drugs that goes with the chemo that does it.

dd21 brought home ice cream from the campus dairy store which was a big hit. He is now at 140 so we are happy that he has developed a sweet tooth. thank you dindiana for your support, it has made this journey a little easier. thank you

good morning:

today: cancel golf dd15 hurt her shoulder
8:45 radiation
(little worried dh will want me to take him shopping.. after chemo he has days where he needs to be out of the house. He wants to go by himself and he just looks and looks for hours. I know that thursday and friday will be the worse. his mind is willing but not there all together, neither is his body)

reminder: I am responsible for the bills and the house, and respond with grace through out my day. I know I can handle it I opened the bills. I saw we are spending too much money on eating out in the month and groceries... so I have to do something about that... I put everything on my charge card each month to see what I am spending.. no wonder I used to fall short in my checking... I was not being frugal with out knowing it.


what will be today is a question. what I want to do:

go to hardware store: ace hardware- 3 curtain rods, container for sidewalk salt, pole for cornstalks
donation day
drop off cleaning pick up cleaning
work on focus: storage ... in garage take arbor that needs to be painted and put it in the yard so I can get to it.
my phone calls: cancelled golf, called on confirmation fees..community fee not cheap. $20 a session x 6 sessions for me, dd15 120 for confirmation which includes community program.
I didn't do dishes last night after dinner 10 am I still haven't done dishes 3:37 pm dishes still in sink
laundry: wash (dh) dry (dh) put away
checking account balanced , bills paid , filing, take burnt papers out of pit and toss..I had to spray them water because we had to leave
work on taking more pieces of swing set out to curb (too many bees)
missed the other day :bring things from front hall closet upstairs where it should be
5:47 am work on papers.. I left them last night all over the dining room table.. dh tossed much
3:39 pm dh went mall walking and I will need to pick him up.5:03 went to target, picked up dh and also halloween candy now in closet
