Beautiful Day!

Summer has sprung. Yesterday and today the temps reached into the low 80s. Today in particular was a beautiful day: sunny, bright blue sky, fluffy white clouds.

It was a busy day. In no particular order: ran errands around town (library, recycling, store, mail, computer geek place); helped Ron with his shower and getting dressed; made breakfast for both of us; made lunch for both of us; mowed the lawn; made supper; did dishes; walked across the creek through the cemetery; read; watched a little bit of TV.

I'm pooped. Tomorrow will be as busy a day. Ron has two doctor appointments; one is just for blood work. We'll get lunch someplace, probably a take-out because Ron may be too tired to walk into a restaurant. He'll wait in the truck and sleep while I activate new cell phone service with Verizon and then I'm going to buy a laptop computer. Yeahh!!!

Ron's appetite has been better the past two days. Both days he actually ate three, albeit small, meals. He asked for specific things like a PB&J sandwich or a grilled cheese with ham sandwich and soup. This is very good. He is two weeks out from treatment day 1 and one week out of treatment day 2, so it's not surprising his appetite has returned. I hope it continues because he is up to 19 pounds weight loss since June 1.

There was a deer and a fawn under the apple tree last evening. It's the first fawn I've seen this year. Soooooooo freakin' cute!!! Full of spots and scampering around.

It was a lovely evening to sit on the swing. I wish Ron had felt well enough to come out with me. He hasn't been outside in days. It was warm and sunny and there was one deer grazing under the apple tree. So very peaceful.

Weather - This June has been the second most rainiest June in the history of weather records in the Capital Region of New York State. It has rained 19 out of 24 days!!

Exercise - I've tried to get in walking but there isn't always time. On days I have Ember, I get up at 5:30 and it's after 7:30 PM when I finish supper dishes. That's a 14-hour day, and I'm too damn tired to give more of myself, especially knowing Ron may need whatever energy I have left.

Random thoughts: Why didn't any of Ron's four children call him on Father's Day? For that matter, why didn't any one of them send him a birthday card last month? He shrugs off the hurt more often than not, but it does hurt him, and therefore I don't shrug it off. Ron is part of MY family and when people fuck with my family, I get pissed!!! ... and I don't forget... ever. Payback's a bitch. :--) Does it really matter what kind of laptop I get? I have a few items that are required, but most if not all of them are met in just about every brand.
