C-R4-D5

It was a great Easter Sunday, hair or no hair, my stomach or the one on loan for the next few days.  I had brunch with a great group of friends with my contribution being an egg casserole that I had never made before.  Considering all of the embellishments, I was just hoping for edible and got "yummy" instead.  Now I've got my own recipe that works.  Round four chemo is in the past along with the half-way point of  this leg of the journey.  Friday was its usuall nasty self with the day of rain just making my trek from chair to chair to sofa to chair to bed with blanket in tow a day of passage.  Let's just get it over with and move on is my motto for this phase of chemo.  I did get in a thirty-minute plod around the hood just to remind the chemo cancer-zappers that I'm still in control.   I still believe in the old Nike slogan "Just Do It".  I used to have a key chain with that slogan that got me through my stint as a middle-school administrative type so it can certainly get me through chemo as well.   I was going to do a little more patio work this afternoon but nap-time settled in and took that time slot.  The patio is officially done and looks pretty good but I just found out that the sand I so meticulously swept into the cracks will need to be replaced every time it rains until it packs itself down into the crevices.  It did indeed disappear last Friday after a day of rain, but I was expecting that.
My landscaping consultant gave me the news about frequency of replacement.  Oh well, I don't have any current projects under advisement other than getting some flowers in the pots for the front porch, deck and now the new patio.  Sounds like a slow week.  Good for building white blood count.  I've got a new drug coming up next time that can take you down a little in that department but supposedly less stomach problems.  We shall see.  Take a walk today before the sun goes down.
