Date Night

Our date nights have gotten into a rut lately.  Go out to eat at one of the places we always go and then home to sit in front of the TV or the computer and some times a book.  This past Friday was much better. We started the evening with our date night with supper at...Whataburger.  I love those burgers with some grilled jalapenos on top.  Our kids invited us over to their congregation for a quarterly singing.  They have a lot of young folks that can sing really well so that makes it even better.  We were uplifted and were able to visit with friends there.  They are aware of my situation with cancer and were very encouraging.  It was a great evening.

Saturday morning there was a brush collection down at the park in our neighborhood.  This is done twice a year.  It keeps folks from dumping their trimmings in the ditch or on a vacant lot.  Good for the whole neighborhood.  Remember my BLOODSHED post not to long ago?  Those limbs got hauled off to that collection.  Yes, there was more than enough bloodshed.

 

I have been noticing something physically lately.  Noticed it quite a bit with the recent trimming and brush work.  Due to the presence of cancer they wanted me to stop injections of "T" I have been taking for the past 3 years.  It is very noticeable now, without it, I don't have much stamina at all.  Things like moving, loading and hauling brush just sap the energy extremely quickly.  Many breaks are needed to finish a task.  Sometimes the break last long enough for the task to not get finished at that time.  Frustrating to say the least but something I will have to get used to.  As I understand it, the 'T' is a synthetic and puts cancer cells into high gear, it is a steroid after all.  Don't want to give them extra ammo, won't be much fun but better than the alternative.

Kim is off to try to earn a few bucks over at the resort.  The AT&T Tournament is there this weekend.  Traditionally it has not been kind to her and her efforts.  Hope that changes. 

Was hoping my team could pull off an upset.  They have been looking better on offense but their strength, defense, looked pretty bad last week.  But alas, they were even worse and got shut out.  First time on the road in 34 years.  It's a rebuilding year with and entire new coaching staff, so some growing pains are expected.  I didn't expect this though.  I'm confident they are headed in the right direction though and look forward to great things in the coming years.

 

Happy Trails.
