Sandy felt better Wednesday than she had the handful of days before, but not as good as she'd felt during previous chemo day aftermaths. The cumulative thing seems to be catching up with her.
Nevertheless, for my 65th birthday she planned an excellent party. She put up a banner, made or brought in lots of food and invited many friends. She printed birthday cards and coordinated food and events with friends and family. I had a great time!
At the party were Ray & Claudia, Steve & Sue, Gabby & Peg, Paul & Deb, Ray & Joan, Ted & Carol, Paige & Ian, Dan & Judy, Ron & Janet, Ruth, Larry, Hallie, Zoey, Jenna and ... most importantly ... Sandy. I got some very funny cards, some fun presents and ... thanks to a couple creative friends ... played trivia games from the '50's about movies, TV shows and hit songs. All this happened yesterday.
Good times. And after these good times, Sandy was tired. We sat out on Ray and Claudia's patio afterward, having some laughs with them and with neighbors Kevin and Jenny, but then it was time to go in and get to bed.
Sandy's energy level was down this morning, but she made coffee and washed several loads of laundry anyway. In the early afternoon she went to the 8th grade graduation party of a young relative, going with sister Judy and mom Mariette. When she got home she sat on the couch, threw a blanket over herself and fell fast asleep with Bandit on her lap.
Hot, hot, hot!
