It's Really NOT My Fault This Posting Is So Late

I have been trying to post for the last 2 days, but Blogger has been down and I have been unable to get in to the control panel until today, so you see it really isn't my fault that there has not been an update this week.

Joe has however, had a pretty good week.  Following his chemo treatment on Monday, he took it slow the rest of the day, then on Tuesday had staff meeting at PGUMC and was back home by early afternoon to rest.  Wednesday, which has proven to be the hardest day on him was true to form and he was very tired.  Choir practice that night was a little shorter than usual, but then he had a small turnout for rehearsal so it was probably for the best.  It was an early night to bed that night.  On Thursday he was feeling somewhat better but right after dinner, was once again saying he was getting tired.  Today, Friday, he seemed to be doing much better and met me for lunch in Chapel Hill.

The biggest highlight of the week was the dessert after dinner last night.  A few weeks ago a member of TGMC, Larry Kroutil, had dropped off an apple pie that he had made for us to put in the freezer.  We had not gotten around to remembering to thaw it out in time to have for dessert until yesterday, when Joe remembered early enough to put it in the oven as we were preparing for dinner.  I must say that it was hand's down the BEST apple pie I have ever had.  Thank you so much Larry.  And we still have more of it to spread out over a couple of more days.  What could be better than that?

This weekend will be a fun filled one as we are having a couple of friends over tomorrow night for soup & Sequence (it's a card/board game) and then on Sunday we see "Hair" at DPAC.  Next week will be a "NO CHEMO" week, so hopefully Joe will get a break from the tiredness and feel more like his old self for a few extra days.  All in all, it has been a good week and the weekend is looking great!  Best part, it keeps raining so I don't have to mow the grass!
