thursday

This is the tree in my front yard. I think it's beautiful. It's especially pretty in the fall. It's changing  colors now and in a week or two it will be bright reds, gold, and yellow..

We went to the Wool Festival a couple of weeks ago. I thought the baby pigs were so cute.

Boyfriend is in the other room singing "I found my thrill!" lol     he's such a dork.

When we arrived home the other day from running errands I noted some crime scene tape on my neighbors front door and porch.According to their son they sell drugs. Based on the traffic flow there I believe it. So I thought maybe a drug buy had gone bad......closer look though and I realized it was just Halloween decoration.......

friday

boyfriend had a pet scan wed.
we went to see the oncologist today.
the oncologist said there is no evidence
of cancer in boyfriends lungs.... just some inflammation from the radiation.
so he will have a ct scan in 3 months, a pet scan 3 months after that, and if they remain
clear then he will only have to have a pet scan once a year..........
 we are relieved. it's what we were hoping for.......actually we were just hoping that the cancer didn't grow or go to some other part of boyfriends body...........so the news was  better than we dared to hope for.....
 i'm happy about the results but i don't really feel celebratory. i just feel tired..........and like the cancer is  waiting for us to let down our guard before it rears it's cruel ugly head again.

i folded some towels today,and i changed the beds.
i heated up some lasagna that we had for supper yesterday for supper today.
it wasn't very good yesterday.........was no better today.

i'm a bummer and i know it.
my throats a little sore.
maybe i'm getting sick.

monday

Nothing much going on today.
I have a pot roast, onions, green peppers,and carrots
cooking in the crock pot for supper tonight.

Boyfriend just got home
from having some blood work drawn. Wed. he'll have a
Pet scan, then Friday we have an appointment
with the oncologist.

Son hooked up Netflix for us.
I've been binge watching some of the Netflix series.
Right now I'm watching The Killing. It's pretty good!

saturday

boyfriends son was here from colorado to spend a week with us.......mostly here because he wants to spend as much time as he can with his dad...... for that i am grateful.......him being here always lifts boyfriends mood!
it was good seeing him again.....he's such a pleasant young guy.

i walked outside a minute ago. woody was in the front yard with a little chipmunk in his mouth. i was able to get the chipmunk away from kitty and watched it as it ran away. i carried kitty to inside the house so that he wouldn't go after the chipmunk again. it was such a cute little thing. i hope he's ok!

tuesday

I often wonder if my mom, while raising me and my sisters, was allowed to work outside of the home. I sometimes think dad wouldn't allow it. I'm not sure.
I just think she would have been happier
if she hadn't been a stay at home mom raising 5 children with very little help, other than financially, from my dad.
 I mean I know mom loved us but I don't think being at home everyday with five children was enough for her.  And then when dad would come home in the evening after work she had to wait on him.
 I think the power in her and dads relationship would have been more balanced if mom had worked................and maybe that's why he wouldn't allow it.
I kind of remember there being a rift between the two of them while mom was working on her degree. I wonder if dad felt threatened by mom going to school, thus the rift.
I hope not.
