April Fool's Day
So far, no April Fool's pranks have been pulled on me, yet. There is still time left in the day. My father has been pulling pranks on my mom all day, but that is just his personality. He had a bunch of jokes last night, then kept going this morning. Dad thought that Mom was pulling a prank on him today, but she was completely serious. I went out to get the mail and there was an envelope from the courthouse addressed to my mom. She's been called for jury duty, the date of the trial is the day before her last treatment, and it is a capital murder trial that is expected to last for three weeks. She has three days to respond and tell the court that she needs a medical excuse. I found out today that my grandmother and I are the only ones in the family who have never been called. My grandmother is too old to be called now, I never knew that there was a maximum age, but apparently there is!
Liz, thanks for the encouragement. This treatment has gotten to my mother a bit more today, but I don't think it is quite as bad as the previous drugs were. My brother sent her a build-a-bear today that is a breast cancer bear. I suggested naming it Cyndi (as in Lauper) because it has pink sparkly fur. She decided that she was going to name it Boobie Bear, so she still has a sense of humor. We were able to go out for lunch today at our usual lunch place, Panera. We hung out watching morning talk TV most of the morning. I'm usually not too big on those shows, but today was the kind of day where I could watch.
No running, as is normal for Friday. My original plan was to go to the gym and ride the stationary bike for a while, but it was so nice outside today that I decided that I could not waste the beautiful weather. I went for a 4 mile walk to take advantage of the weather. The forecast is calling for another 2-3 inches of rain starting tonight. Today I vowed to take on a new 'tude for track workouts. The workouts are going to start to count soon and I need to have a PMA from now on.
All right, now to catch up on everyone else and have a happy weekend to all!
