today, jane takes stays in - no work, just recuperating! i'm actually amazed, simply amazed, that she's heeded my advice and listened to her own body - she knows that post-chemo tuesdays are rough for her, and she wisely decides to conserve her energy - bravo!
she does sit, lie, and relax - incredible! and after all that, she IS feeling okay - a bit sore here and there, but good nonetheless. some doctor's appointments beckon, and we go together, even stopping at h&m for a little shopping - flirty dresses, flouncy tops, hip hugging jeans - and although her heart's not in it, she does get a boost from it. we return home, a sunny afternoon, and jane takes it easy. busy preparing dinner, talking to debbie in bruxelles, baking a cake, and we decide on an impromptu and quick, light dinner in honor of rochelle's impending birthday (she'll be away on the big day, so there's no time like the present).
how nice to celebrate these milestones. after all, getting old positively sucks, but NOT getting old is even worse. and we're not quite at the walker & depends stage yet, so yah, we'll take all those candles and happily extinguish them while looking forward to another year. we know too many people who have had their share, so it's our time to take a little back!!!
as i wait for my own cardiology appointment today (routine) i tell jane: "see, you've already had your big thing, your cancer ... think of all the rest of us, just waiting for the other shoe to drop! see how much you're ahead of the game!".
she just rolls her eyes (routine).
