Well it is 8 PM on Sunday. This week end has been a typical infusion week end, busy.
On Friday I got up and rode my typical Friday bike route. With the sun rising earlier I get to ride earlier and longer. This day I rode 40 miles. When I got home I showered and then ate. After breakfast we ran a couple of errands. Then it was home for a light lunch and off for my infusion. On the way home I stopped and picked up a couple of pieces of glass we ordered from the glass store. They were for the top of our end tables. The tables were not stained very well and had a couple of places where the table got banged and the wood showed through the stain. I took a little nap and then we ate. Infusions always make me tired. After supper I went to my Friday meeting.
On Saturday I got up and was doing some computer work. My son Bryan was also on line so I got to "talk" to him. He is doing well and looking forward to getting home. Then I went for a bike ride. This day I rode another 41 miles. I rode to a nearby town along Galveston bay. This town was hit hard by hurricane Ike. It is still not fully recovered. When I got home I ate and showered. Then we were off for our week end grocery shopping. Back home we had lunch and rested. After supper we watched some television we had recorded. It was a bit of an emotional day as it would have been my parents 61 anniversary. Even though they have been gone a couple of years, birthdays and anniversary are still emotional.
Today I had to get up a bit earlier so I could take my Actenol. All the steroids I have had to take over the past few years have thinned my bones. I hope when I have my bone density scan this year, things are improving and I can stop taking this medicine. After taking the medicine I have to wait at least 30 minutes before eating. After eating I was off to ride my bike down the access road. This was the longest of the three days, 42 miles. Once home I had pancakes and bacon. Then I worked on the lawn. The back yard needed to be mowed and the front yard had some weeds that needed to be pulled. I also gave the plants a drink. Then I had a shower and we were off. We had several stops such as the library, bank etc. Back home I had lunch. It was a home made pizza. In the afternoon we rested. I slept for an hour or so. For supper I had some shrimp over rice, asparagus and toasted bread. Like most meals it was very good.
This evening I think we will have some quiet time. I also need to take Candi for a walk and then call it a day. Today was a difficult day for Elizabeth. I very good friend of hers died today. She worked until about a year ago and finally retired at age 70. She had lived in Illinois. Several months ago she learned she had cancer. She did suffer and at least that is over. I pray for Elizabeth and Sylvia's family.
