Oh, I am sorry to hear that your dad is slipping. The GI stuff no doubt took quite a toll. I hope you can get into the neuro quickly and that he has a good plan. I'm sure you will be happy the have Drew back. Enjoy the big excursion tonight. Don't overdo it!!
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
JZ is tolerating her meds very well after yesterday's infusion.
Still getting used to the new, more complex and heavier chemo pump she's wearing today.
Oftentimes after the FOLFOX she'd be wiped out the next day. Today she's doing fine on the first infusion of FOLFIRI. It does have a cumulative effect, though, so this is probably the easiest one to tolerate.
Still she felt well enough to go on a stroll around the Beverly Center where we had a glorious view of the rare snowcapped mountains. Now she's polishing off a Starbucks cheese plate, and I finally found the local Eggslut and had that for lunch.
Tomorrow we go in to the hospital at 1pm, and they start her saline flush. At 3pm, they take off the pump, then we hop in a cab and scurry to the airport. Flight at six, arrive by 7:30, home by 8:20ish.
Learning the routine.

It's good to hear that today is going well. It sounds like tomorrow shouldn't be too hectic. Time to sleep in a bit and enough time between the hospital and the flight. Breathe!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That sounds good, given the circumstances, Hec.
I’m sorry about your dad, Pix, but I’m glad ND is able to help.
I am now officially fully in my new position at work. Yay! I’m celebrating with an aperol spritz. It’s quite tasty. Not terribly potent—a good after dinner drink when you want to relax, not get blasted.

Yeah, it's my friend's favorite.

That was our go-to drink for outdoor concerts this summer. It looks so pretty and fancy but it’s easy to make out of a cooler.

Yes, thank you. I don't spend much time on FB so I get updates here.
Just got back from the dog park. It was dew covered, which was different. We had rain a few days ago, which was the first time in a very long time. I checked the forecast and they predict rain again on the 10th. And yet, humidity of 95%, so yes I was very sticky by the time I left the park.

Packing up our hotel room.
Hospital at 1pm. Should be done in an hour or so.
Will talk to the concierge to have a cab waiting for us at 3:30 and back to the airport.
So far so good. I expect hotel living will lose it's novelty pretty soon, but I'm glad to have my new laptop, and getting used to a new routine.
Life is weird. None of my expectations about where I would be in five years have come true since I went to college.
We just passed the one year anniversary of home ownership last month.
